Beast’s Boogie

Lyrics

Down on Bankhead Highway in a one room country shack You could hear his piano ringing like a custom Cadillac - like a Cadillac Beast boogied to the ceiling - beast boogied thru the floor I loved to hear beast boogie - but beast don't boogie here no more Piano by his bedside, cigarette burns in the wood He'd let me keep the change I found in the the little house that could Little house that could Beast boogied to the ceiling - beast boogied thru the floor I loved to hear beast boogie - but beast don't boogie here no more Lord my mama loved him - made her cry and made her laugh He was the Sonny to her Cher, the petrol to her match - petrol to her match Beast tore up the fly wheel riding mama's clutch 5 times she said it's over - 5 times was not enough He loved me like a daughter - knew the words to all my songs Sometimes you don't know what you got til what you got is gone Now the beast is gone Beast boogied to the ceiling - beast boogied thru the floor I loved to hear beast boogie - but beast don't boogie here no more
