Jenrose and the Kentucky Bootleggers: Music
Good Girls Don't
(Jenrose And The Kentucky Bootleggers)
Kopana's first time playing drums in public... and the night she fell in love with Johnny Cash.
Once I heard a story ‘bout a
Once Upon a Time
Out near Tucson, it was1979
There stood one lonely honky-tonk
In the middle of a desert town
And nothing else for miles and miles around
And she was not 15
But she was heard to say
She’d like to go and hear that music play
And all the gossips of the town
Would shake their heads and frown
And this is what they’d say:
REF
Good girls don’t go to honky-tonks
They don’t play rock-n-roll
Cuz when that music shakes your body
From your head down to your toes
That’s when the devil takes your soul
Well Andy and his brother
They were playin’ there one night
Her Mom was singing backup on their songs
And Mom was heard to say:
Let’s call it family night
And asked her if she’d like to tag along
They knew she had a drum kit
From the local antique store
And so that night they asked her up to play
And all the gossips of the town
Were nowhere to be found
So they were not around to say…
REF
Good girls don’t go to honky-tonks
They don’t play rock-n-roll
Cuz when that music shakes your body
From your head down to your toes
That’s when the devil takes your soul
Now the music in that bar
Well it was pounding with her heart
As she went flying down that whiskey colored road
The moon was round and full
And some worried for her soul
But that devil never showed
And before the night was through
Or so the story goes
A cowboy even asked her for a dance
But it was the man in black
Who took her heart that night
So that cowboy - he never stood a chance
When those boys played….
[musical break to the tune of “Hey Porter”]
Next time she saw those gossips
Their eyes were bulgin’ wide
And you could almost hear the turning of their heads
And she walked right up to them
Looked them squarely in the eye
And this is what she said:
(She told them)
Good girls DO go to honky-tonks
And they DO play rock-n-roll
And now she thanks the Lord above her
For that night the moon was full
Cuz that’s when the music took her soul oh Lord
Yeah that’s when the music saved her soul
