Lyrics
Two Little Dixie Cups by Gary Hoffman
Verse: G / C / G / D G
Chorus: G / Em / C / D
It was a Friday night and we were rockin this little country bar
A little hole in the wall called 'Shoneys Truck Stop Diner"
We played 'Working Mans Blues'
and 'He stopped loving her today'
And 'Looking out this world thru a windshield'
But we were really sick
and it was getting hard to sing
Our throats were sore so we asked for some water
Well Jimmy jumped up and said
"Boys I got you covered"
He grabbed 2 Dixie cups and headed towards the door
--------------------------CHORUS:----------------------------
He grabbed 2 little Dixie cups,
yeah 2 little Dixie cups
He grabbed 2 little Dixie cups,
and headed out the door
Now Jimmy was the friendliest backwoods country boy
That you'd ever in this world want to meet
He came strolling back in with a smile
and 2 Dixie cups
And I wondered how this would ever quench our thirst
---------------------------CHORUS:----------------------------
He brought 2 little Dixie cups,
yeah 2 little Dixie cups
He brought 2 little Dixie cups,
to me & my brother Chris
Well my brother Chris grabbed a cup
and took a little sip
But he turned his head so I couldn't see his face (Db -> D)
So I grabbed the other cup and I drank ‘er straight down
And fire flowed like LAVA down to my gut
After that I don't remember things too clearly
But I know we weren't feeling any pain
The night we played Shoney's Truck Stop Diner
Drinking Jimmy's shine from
2 little Dixie cups
---------------------------CHORUS:----------------------------
We drank 2 little Dixie cups,
yeah 2 little Dixie cups -----
We drank 2 little Dixie cups,
of Jimmy's moon shine ----
**Lead**
CHORUS (with palm muting)
CHORUS (then end)
