"Slim Pickins" lyrics

One, two, three

There's a bombshell blonde down at the dive
Works real late every Tuesday night
Well, if you've got the money or she's got the time
There's a red-headed girl all the way across town
Lives with her daddy in her grandma's house
You can only pick her up when he's passed out

Well, they're few and far between
This small county ain't got no queen

Because it's slim pickins, where I'm from
You got better luck winning a scratch off ticket
Than trying to find someone
Well, you can't be picky or take too long
Soon as a good one comes, they're gone
Because it's slim pickins, where I'm from

There's a pretty brunette at the hair salon
Better not try to do her wrong
Because the whole town will know the truth before too long
That black-haired girl, moved to LA
Big city blues brought her back this way
Won't say what she had to do for that Escalade

Well, they're few and far between
This small county ain't got no queen

Because it's slim pickins, where I'm from
You got better luck winning a scratch off ticket
Than trying to find someone
Well, you can't be picky or take too long
Soon as a good one comes, they're gone
Because it's slim pickins, where I'm from

Well, if you wanna find one all to yourself
You're gonna have to ask everybody else
These days the only girls I see
Are in late night shows and these magazines

Because it's slim pickins, where I'm from
You got better luck winning a scratch off ticket
Than trying to find someone
Well, you can't be picky or take too long
Soon as a good one comes, they're gone
Because it's slim pickins, where I'm from
Oh yeah, it's slim pickins, where I'm from

Well they look real pretty, and come across sweet
This town ain't got much left to see
Because it's slim pickins, where I'm from
Oh yeah, damn, it's slim pickins, where I'm from
