Dave Bruebeck is a default lately

Lula was a girl from a humble town
She had a mean drunk daddy; liked to push her around
He sold what he called 'poor man's cocaine'
But the police called it methamphetamine
One night she sunk her knife in the small of his back
Ain't no one gonna find where she buried him at
She hopped a train up the river into Omaha
Did some dirty damn things and bought a broke-down car

She'd say 'I ain't getting younger, I just wanna feel good
I ain't gonna do what you want cause you tell me I should
I'm just gonna sit right down, have a smoke
Somebody buy me a beer; somebody tell me a joke

Now people do funny things to numb their pain
And Lula drank liquor to forget her name
She used to sleep it off under an old Oak tree
In the Pontiac she bought with her money from the streets

She'd say "I ain't getting younger, I just wanna feel good
I ain't gonna do what you want cause you tell me I should
I'm just gonna sit right down; have a smoke
Somebody buy me a beer somebody tell me a joke

She was crying for a life that she never knew
What could have been, how it was and what she oughta do
She wipe the tears from her eyes and shut her mouth
When her feet hit the river all the lights went out

She'd say "I ain't getting younger, I just wanna feel good
I ain't gonna do what you want cause you tell me I should
I'm just gonna sit right down; have a smoke
Somebody buy me a beer; somebody tell me a joke
Somebody buy me a beer; somebody tell me a joke
