lyrics

OH ALLISON (TRY AGAIN)

Spitting in a Sundrop bottle
The Red Man, the Golden Blend
Sweet on my tongue
I’m buzzing again
The gas pumps at the viaducts
She caught me with her best friend
She caught me with my shirt undone
And my pride tucked in

Chorus:
Oh Allison
Oh Allison
Looks like we’ll have to try again

Cool liquid on the lips again
Trying to numb nervous hands
But a hundred buttons won’t help you when
We finally give in
Something for old time friends
Something to remember when
Something I can’t pretend
Didn’t work its way in

Oh Allison
Oh Allison
Looks like we’ll have to try again

Oh the rain came down on the homecoming game
The storms moved in on the field that day
I stole a kiss and they called you away
And I’ll be damned if they didn’t call the game

Oh Allison
Oh Allison
Looks like we’ll have to try again
