Busy Bee Cafe

Written by Marty Stuart



Well if you're down in Mississippi, where the livin's slow



And you're just standin' on the corner, wonderin' which way to go



Just take a walk across town, to Beacon and Bay



Now you're right in front of the Busy Bee Cafe



Well there's Old Uncle Furry, he's a sittin' on the side



If you will talk to him just right,

he might play you some of his slide guitar



He's got shoe shine's a-pumpin', five dollars a day



And it's all goin' on at the Busy Bee Cafe



It's just a good time, no crime, mighty fine, have a nice day



I see Lavala in the corner, speedin' her young life away



I've heard that jukebox play "High Heel Sneakers" twenty times a day



But when night rolls around, they move it out of theway



"Cause Footes and the boys,

they come to town to play, 'til the break of day



Makin' everybody feel good at the Busy Bee Cafe



It's just a good time, no crime, mighty fine, have a nice day



I see Lavala in the corner, speedin' her young life away



If you're down in Mississippi, where the livin's slow



And you're just standin' on the corner, wonderin' which way to go



Just take a walk across town, to Beacon and Bay, yeah



Now you're right in front of the Busy Bee Cafe



Well, now you're right in front of the Busy Bee Cafe
