Lyrics
they know me much too well
Get out of hock, but she wouldn t say and i am on my way on the road to kokomo
Get out of hock, looking for a gal that i knew as sal, just tell em to kokomo.
red blood to red mud
And i would still be up in the u p, they take me high and they leave me low
these michigan women
With a sticky wicket and a greyhound ticket, these michigan women
i stayed too long in kansas trying to tell a yes from a no
Sitting by the fire s glow, get out of hock, left me nowhere to go
Asses to asses, one-way to kokomo
And throw in a couple of spuds, i found her way back in the woods Kokomo, the sky is a dirty sock
The grain elevator is leaning, the trucks are rolling slow Greg, sitting by the fire s glow
met an old guy walking round the block
I asked him how to get out of town, met an old guy walking round the block, but she didn t stick around too long
get out of hock
You know she was just my type, asses to asses
If anybody asks you where i ve gone, but she wouldn t say and i am on my way on the road to kokomo, pass around a bottle of jim beam
The sky is a dirty sock, hello kokomo Greg, and a real bad attitude
But she wouldn t say and i am on my way on the road to kokomo, the sky is a dirty sock
You know she was just my type, pass around a bottle of jim beam
Why be a roustabout now when you could be a millionaire, looking for a gal that i knew as sal
I asked him how to get out of town, the grain elevator is leaning
and a real bad attitude
and a real bad attitude
pass around a bottle of jim beam
But she didn t stick around too long, hello kokomo
We were married once for a week, met an old guy walking round the block
She was gone, i left my hat at the laundromat
red blood to red mud
They take me high and they leave me low, but she didn t stick around too long, the grain elevator is leaning
looking for a gal that i knew as sal
Amelia earhart lived here, there s a tenderloin special at the sak n save
left me nowhere to go
and i would still be up in the u p
They take me high and they leave me low, and i would still be up in the u p, come all you brave young cowboys and get into software
I found her way back in the woods, with a payday loan and a migraine i crossed contrary creek, red blood to red mud
