Wild Eyed Willy

[Pre-Chorus]
Sheriff snapped his hat down low
Said, "I know where them devils go"
But the moon was on their side
And the corn was thick to hide

[Chorus]
Wild Eyed Willy, where'd you go?
Toters the potater, down the road
Too quick, too sly, too hard to hold
Wild Eyed Willy, where'd you go? (where'd you go?)
They take the prize, they make the joke
Leave a porch swing full of smoke
Too quick, too sly, too hard to hold
Wild Eyed Willy, where'd you go?

[Verse 2]
Mr. Cobb woke up to find
Two fresh holes in his grapevine line
A missing rooster, a slashed up sack
And a wagon rolled right past the back
Miz Lottie swore she saw the pair
Cutting through the orchard air
Willy tipped his hat and blinked
Toters laughed and they both disappeared

[Pre-Chorus]
Deputy came in through the field
Saw a pear tree by the wheel
But by the time he made the bend
They were gone again, my friend

[Bridge]
Well, they ain't mean, just hard to pin
Like a rabbit with a sinful grin
If you lock one door, they climb the shed
If you board one trail, they're gone ahead
You can chase 'em from dawn till dark
Find a feather, find a spark
But when the lanterns swing and sway
Willy and Toters are miles away

[Verse 1] Down by the feed store fence Wild Eyed Willy made a mess Toters the potater grinned With a burlap sack tucked in They flipped that pail, they stole that sign Then vanished clean by county line Left a bootprint by the track And a two-step note ran back [Pre-Chorus] Sheriff snapped his hat down low Said, "I know where them devils go" But the moon was on their side And the corn was thick to hide [Chorus] Wild Eyed Willy, where'd you go? Toters the potater, down the road Too quick, too sly, too hard to hold Wild Eyed Willy, where'd you go? (where'd you go?) They take the prize, they make the joke Leave a porch swing full of smoke Too quick, too sly, too hard to hold Wild Eyed Willy, where'd you go?
