From the recording "1989"
Lyrics
Kicking back at the “Chicken Shack”
You’ve got the liquor in front and the poker in back.
Them razor boys are cutting me no slack
They lay down their aces but the deck was stacked.
Picking locks at “Pandora’s box”
It’s a groovy little place down by the docks
It blows blues by day and by night it rocks
Man, that guitar player knocked off my socks.
I took a run down to “Betty Lou’s”
She said, “Come in, son, what can I do for you?”
I said, “Betty, can you help me, I’m feeling blue?”
“By the look on your face, son, you’d better take two.”
Oh, It felt so good
Just like I knew it would
I wonder if I should, yeah
Stay awhile in Wildwood
Picked my tired body up off the floor.
They looked at me, smiled and pointed toward the door.
I had a funny feeling what they had in store
So I turned around and got some more
Oh, It felt so good
Just like I knew it would
I wonder if I should, yeah
Stay awhile in Wildwood
