lyrics

I knew that they were comin'
The date stuck in my mind
And that stagecoach pulled in haulin'
Pismo Spanky right on time
With guitars and a banjo
A ukulele he played nice
With a gallon tub of ice cream
And thirty-pack on ice
Nancy was the driver
She whipped her team in shape
She let Spanky have her deer steak
Only vegetables she ate
When I remembered it was wing night
At the karaoke bar
We stuffed our pockets full of beer cans
And packed five in the care

We came flying in to Crossroads
Smell of chicken in the air
Pismo Spanky riding shotgun
On a wing and a prayer

When we walked in to the bar
Spanky ordered twelve Coors Light
And he hadn't sat to drink them
When the punch board caught his eye
He got called for karaoke
Before he gambled his whole wad
He did Elvis Presley justice
And made everyone applaud
He'd spent three hundred dollars
Before they locked the doors
But Nancy won a fifty
She'd stuffed it on her drawers
We bought all the untouched hot wings
And a thirty-pack to go
We'd acquired too many riders
But the wagon had to roll

When we hit the intersection
I saw a flip-flop take the air
Pismo Spankys riding roof rack
On a wing and a prayer

When we crawled out the next morning
We sat down to share a joint
I started getting sentimental
Then I lost track of my point
But we knew we'd shared a memory
We always could recall
I tried to send them with some hot wings
When I laid some out to thaw

Then they left for California
California I'll see you there
If I make it Pismo Spanky
On a wing and a prayer
Oh if I make it Pismo Spanky
On a wing and a prayer
