Wake up Shirley, what you layin' there for
Been so long, won't you wake no more
When you were young, you stole your kisses
Now your body's still here, but your mind went missin'
Wake up Shirley Bell
Wake up Shirley Bell
Dead or alive
It's too hard to tell
Tell St.Peter, close the pearly gates
Done fed the meter, don't wanna be late
Gonna paint this town, gonna paint it red
Wake up Shirley, they gonna think your dead
(chorus)
Did you wave goodbye, cast down a lil' grin
To the sad faces, sang your funeral hymn
Did you meet your maker, are you by His side
Did angels rejoice, when you arrived
(chorus)
Strollin' down the valley of the shadow
With you dancin' shoes, forget the cruel world below
Goodbye Shirley, no medicine would cure
I hope to see you on the green pastures
Ain't tellin' no truths
This late on a Saturday
Come on baby
Won't you ride in my Chevrolet
Midnight'n 'round
Stealin' kisses from you 'til the sun done come out
Just us and the moon
This midnight hour
Come on baby
Won't you be my midnight flower
and Midnight around
Been thinkin' 'bout you since the sun done gone down
Looked in my rear view
Headlights a beamin'
Come on baby
Didn't tell me your heart i was stealin'
Midnight'n 'round
A jealous man's gonna turn it upside down
Got none to prove
To a pretty face
Come on baby
Your kisses ain't worth an early grave
Midnight'n 'round
No secret worth keepin' when you can't live to tell
Burnin' red and blue
Come a paddy-roller
Hold on baby
While i pull it on the shoulder
Midnight'n 'round
Then she reached her leg and floored the throttle down
Midnight'n 'round
Stealin' kisses from me 'til the sun done come down
