Alien Hairdo

At the wheel a' Betty, comin' on to just around midnight,
I was travelin' down the backroads when I was blinded by a bright light.
I came to a slide bleedin' stop and saw the strangest sight.
There in the middle of the road was some kind of weird hoodoo.
Standing' there surrounded by a blue glow was some kinda' alien hairdo.
And in a strange voice said, "Slick, we've been wanta' to talk to you."
I just stood there thinkin' escapin' might be a bit risky,
When outta nowhere came this tray of alien whisky.
We drank some whisky... a lotta whisky...
I was drunk.

Well, as my momma done taught me
Never to be rude with a guest.
So I took me a shot,
Man, it was some of the best.
And just for my nerves,
I took and shot down the rest.
When this alien says, "Well, 'ol Slick you're the best.
And if that be the case, then we got a request."

So the alien told me the plan, and where I had to go.
Was off to a shy town just a little south of Kokomo.
There was hidden hideout where I would drop off my cargo.
I got there like lightnin' as the sun took and broke apart the day.
And if you was to ask me this is what I think I'd have to say...
This truck drivin' man's life has always been on the edge of strange.
Since I met that alien hairdo ain't a' never goin' to be the same.
