.38 SpecialWild Eyed Southern Boys Lyrics:
It's a hot night at the juke joint
And the bands pumpin' rhythm and blues
Gonna spill a little rock n' roll blood tonight
Gonna make some front page news
And the ladies hate the violence
Still they never seem to look away
'Cause they love those
Wild-eyed southern boys
Wild-eyed boys
Wild-eyed southern boys
It's a southern point of honor
You got a get right in on the action
You can hear the outlaws holler
Fight for the lady in black
And she's just one in a million
But she's all I need tonight
'Cause she loves those
Wild-eyed southern boys
Wild-eyed boys
Wild-eyed southern boys
Wild-eyed boys
Ooh, yeah
Wild-eyed boys
A man of wealth and power
Is out on the dance hall floor
He's got a champagne Eldorado
Parked outside the door
And he's looking for a honky tonk angel
But he don't stand a chance in hell
'Cause he ain't no
Wild-eyed southern boy
(Wild-eyed southern boys)
Wild-eyed boy
Wild-eyed southern boy
(Wild-eyed southern boys)
Wild-eyed boy
Wild-eyed southern boys
(Wild-eyed southern boys)
Wild-eyed boys
Wild-eyed southern boys
(Wild-eyed southern boys)
Wild-eyed boys
Wild-eyed southern boys
(Wild-eyed southern boys)
Wild-eyed boys
Wild-eyed southern boys
(Wild-eyed southern boys)
Wild-eyed boys

1 Originally, juke joint (or jook joint) was the vernacular term for an
informal establishment featuring music, dancing, gambling, and drinking,
primarily operated by African American people in the southeastern United
States. The term "juke" is believed to derive from the Gullah word joog,
meaning rowdy or disorderly. Many current juke joints are corner bars that
are crowded and smokey, where the musicians and singers perform unannounced
and without microphones. There is a lot of confusion about the term because
many people use "juke joint" to refer to any bar with a juke box.
2 This lines means that the "boys" know there will be a fight over a woman
that night.
3 Eldorado was a model of the Cadillac line from 1953 to 2002. Although
cars bearing the name varied considerably in bodystyle and mechanical layout
during this long period, the Eldorado models were always near the top of the
Cadillac line. Champagne refers to the color of the car.

made by the Smith & Wesson Company and is a rimmed, centerfire cartridge of
.38 calibres. It is most commonly used in revolvers, although some
