Homesick

Lyrics and Music by
Rose Haggard and Penny Clepper

I went to see a friend of mine play
Drove down Division a long, long way
I about hit the floor--They asked for ten at the door
No wonder there was hardly anyone in the place
Already cussin’ as I headed for the pass
Bartenders servin’ drinks in a plastic glass
I asked for draft beer--She said we don’t have it here
I headed back to my car and put my foot on the gas

(Spoken) How ya gonna call a place Pitchers and not have draft beer?

Chorus:
Get me back to Grand Prairie
Where I don’t have to pay at the door
I’ll get a pitcher of beer, and my friends are all here
I don’t know what ever left there for

Get me back to Grand Prairie
The music’s better here anyway
Its closer to home, and I don’t want to roam
Get me to Grand Prairie, Texas, USA

I tried again a bit down the road
I heard they had a pretty good show
At three fifty a beer, I knew I couldn’t stay here
And damn! plastic again. Can I get it to go?

(Spoken) You’d think at these prices these jokers could afford a few glass mugs. Really?

Bridge:

Give me a pitcher from the Moose Lodge
Open mic at Theo’s Grill and bar
Karaoke at Mary’s or Tommy’s
Where I can be the star
All the bartenders know what I’m drinkin’
Servin’ it up as I take a seat
Where I’d most rather be seven nights of the week
Is ______________ Yeah that would be sweet.

repeat Chorus
I’m homesick for Grand Prairie, Texas, USA
