Third Rock from the Sun - Joe Diffie

She walks into Smokey’s one hip at a time

Like a broken field runner slippin' through the line

He likes the way she looks so he calls the little wife says

«Don't wait up for me I’ll be workin' late tonight»

Wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears

Calls her sister up and cries «Get over here»

Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile

Boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile

He leaves the motor running he’ll only be a minute

His car drives away with teenagers in it The driver tells his buddies, got one life to live

They scream into the night «Let's get it over with»

'Cause and effect, chain of events

All of the chaos makes perfect sense

When you’re spinning round, things come undone

Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun

The kid guns the gas, the car starts to swerve

Heads for a semi truck, jumps the curb

Truck hits a Big Boy in the Shoney’s parking lot

And flies through the air takes out the bank clock

Clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks

Lines go down, town goes dark

Waitress calls the cops, says she saw it all

Swears a giant alien has landed at the mall

Cops ring up the mayor says there’s panic in the streets

«We hate to wake you up but we can’t find the chief»

Mayor says «Use your head if he ain’t in his car

He’s hiding from his wife, down at Smokey’s Bar»

'Cause and effect, chain of events

All of the chaos makes perfect sense

When you’re spinning round, things come undone

Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun

'Cause and effect, chain of events

All of the chaos makes perfect sense

When you’re spinning round, things come undone

Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun
