	作词 : Gentry
	Two men sittin' in straight back chairs
	Feet propped up on the railin'
	Sittin' in front of the country store
	Discussin' how the crops were failin'
	About that time a car drove by
	With an Ace Insurance bumper sticker
	Well that must be the man been courtin' Abell
	He's somethin' of a city slicker
	(Ah, you can tell just from the way he's drivin' that car)
	Do you reckon he's goin' up to see Abell
	You know her daddy went to Maben this day
	And her mommas been in Arkansas with her ailin' pa
	Ain't nobody home that way
	(Ha ha, 'cept Abell)
	Now, I don't mean nothing by what I say
	But if you won't say it, I can
	She ain't got no bid'ness alone
	With that Ace Insurance man
	(Why there's just no tellin' what might happen)
	People ought to keep an eye on they're kids
	You remember 'bout Abby Mcguinness
	Why'it, lik'ta kill'ed her ma when she found out about it
	Course I know it ain't none of my bid'ness
	But uh, well, if it was me, if it was me
	It might be too late and it would be a pity
	Better call up the sheriff in Calhoun city
	And have the preacher organize a 'vestigating committee
	To see what's going on
	(Yes, sir, and we'd better hurry)
	Tearing down the road in a pickup truck
	With Bentley out taking the lead
	Followed by a tractor and a half lame mule
	Dust flyin' as they picked up speed
	Faces beaming goodness and their jaw's set hard
	Good people just doin' what's right
	And off in the distance was Abell's house
	And there wasn't a soul in sight
	Aw, I could'a told you
	(Oh, I just knew it)
	Now the gravel was flying as he turned the bend
	And screeched to a grinding halt
	They went through the fence, into the flower bed
	And hit pa's first-prize hog in the head
	And left half a dozen mama's chickens for dead
	But it wasn't nobody's fault
	Oh, look at Harvey's prize hog
	And all of them darlin' old grown bad trusty chickens
	(We got more important things to tend to, boy)
	I wonder if they're covered?
	Committee bounded on the front porch
	To meet the enemy face to face
	But Abell yelled at 'em through the screen door
	"Y'all messed up my daddy's place"
	But in her hand she waved a policy
	Sayin' with a Mona Lisa grin
	"Well, y'all timed that one just about right
	'Cause Ace done struck again"
