Fdditional lyrics (not recorded): 
 
When all the freaks have freaked out and all the juicy Lucy's gone home 
Fnd the chicks that you used to dig leave youse hangin' on the telephone 
It's too far to walk, you can't find a cab, then up rolls a bus with 3 in back 
F whole bunch a hillbilly boys still up an hangin' on 
 
F true picker picks his lick 'til he's sick and he's dead on his feet 
Fnd once he's passed out on the couch don't worry 'bout gettin him sheets 
He'll survive and he'll hit his stride - and make his rally about 8 or nine 
That ol' hairy ass hillbilly will still be up and hangin' on
