[Verse] It's four A.M. and Benny Tink is singing "Freebird" off the roof Again That kid is bound for Folsom Mama said when he was five or six And [Prechorus] We all knew he was bad news But we all knew we liked him, too [Chorus] It's the same old story every time Gettin' stuck behind Benny Tink on a Friday night In his beat-up Ford, going fifty-five In a forty-five With his radio up And his left hand out the window throwin' deuces up To every single person in his life It's the same old story every time The ballad of Benny Tink [Verse 2] He was always a bad example But we love him just the same And when he made it to that bar Man You know he bought 'em all By name [Prechorus] And we all knew he was bad news But we all knew we liked him, too [Chorus] It's the same old story every time Gettin' stuck behind Benny Tink on a Friday night In his beat-up Ford, going fifty-five In a forty-five With his radio up And his left hand out the window throwin' deuces up To every single person in his life It's the same old story every time The ballad of Benny Tink
