Lyrics
I and Braggar and Junior Lee
Well, that's the way we always thought it would be
In the Winston lips of September, how we met
Decked out like aces, we'd beat anybody's bet
'Cause we was Coolsville
'Cause we was Coolsville
Well, you stick it here
You stick it over there
But it never fits
And now a hungry night wants more and more
And you're chippin' your little kiss
I jumped all his jokers
But he trumped all my tricks
And I, I, I swear to God
I thought this one was smart enough to stick it into Coolsville
Ay, stick it into Coolsville
Ooh, daddy, stick it into Coolsville
So now it's J and B and me
And that sounds close, but it ain't the same
Well, that's okay
Hot city don't hurt that much
But everything feels the same
Well, the real thing come and the real thing go
Well, the-, the real thing is back in town
Ask me if you wanna know the way to Coolsville
Well, I hear you wanna go back to Coolsville
Well, come on, take you back to Coolsville
