Pulaski Lyrics - Go-go Boots - Drive By Truckers

She was fresh out of college 

First one in her family to go 

And California seemed like heaven 

Pulaski, Tennessee was her home 

 

She worked on losing her southern accent 

Turned her back on her Baptist ways 

She bought some clothes that barely covered 

Her fair skinned body, went to Nashville and caught a plane 

 

The clouds rushed beneath her 

As the L.A. smog filled the air 

And she smiled when the airlock opened 

And the Pacific breeze blew through her hair 

 

She thought about the boys from Alabama 

Who came into town every Friday night 

And drank beer out of big glass quart bottles 

And left their trail of blood and tears behind 

 

She thought the men in California would be different 

She'd grown up watching them on her TV 

But the men she came to know in California 

Left her longing for Pulaski, Tennessee 

 

Good ideas always start with a full glass 

And just breathing here can make a girl's nose bleed 

Dreams here live and die just like a stray dog 

On a dirt road somewhere in Tennessee 

 

The storefronts are all filled up with eyeballs 

As the policemen clear out the street 

For a line of cars with their headlights burning 

Driving slow through Pulaski, Tennessee
