Ace Insurance Man (Live) Bobbie Gentry

[Intro]
Although this next song takes place in Mississippi
This is a situation that could happen almost anywhere
It's all a of matter of two people discussing a very small incident
Until it really gets all out of proportion
In this case ...

[Verse 1]
Two men sittin' in straight back chairs
Feet propped up on the railin'
Sittin' in front of the country store
Discussin' how the crops were failin'

[Verse 2]
About that time a car drove by
With an Ace Insurance bumper sticker
Well, that must be the man been courtin' Abell
He's somethin' of a city slicker
(I could tell the way he's drivin' that car)

[Verse 3]
Do you reckon he's goin' up to see Abell?
You know her daddy went to Maben this day
And her momma's been in Arkansas with her ailin' pa
Ain't nobody home that way
('Ceptin' Abell)
