lyrics

What a shame about George
Well he skipped class again
He’s out on the street
Singing songs to get paid
But what can we do
It’s what he’s here for
When you’re given that voice
You don’t have the choice
What a shame about George

What shame about George
Did you see him today
Under the influence
When they led him away
Wild eyed and wasted
You don’t feel anymore
All of that hurt
It’s such thirsty work
What a shame about George

White, white lightning
You make my dreams come true
White, white lightning
I always get lucky with you

What a shame about George
Well we lost him last night
No show Jones
This time they’re right

White, white lightning
You make my dreams come true
White, white lightning
I always get lucky with you

When the singer is gone all that’s left is the song
What a shame about George
