lyrics

Mickey was the hippest chick at the Planet Ranch
When I was eight she was crowned
Miss Parker, Arizona
We’d listen to Neil Diamond in her trailer home
Her talent was playing the trumpet
Leroy, the mechanic, well he was pretty old
He liked to talk to spaceships in the desert
Once we tried to follow him real late at night
but we were too scared of coyotes

He’d drive on up that hill
every night, every night
With a six pack and his transistor
He swore they spoke to him
every night, every night
But they didn’t want him to take their picture

I remember once when things were sort of tight
We had to entertain some bankers and their wives
Ella cooked a dinner and a chocolate cake
then Leroy came in for some cocktails
Mickey and us kids were dancing
to “Sweet Caroline”
Leroy and the banker’s wives
were getting drunk on red wine
He told them about the aliens
and why they were here
He said they needed uranium for fuel

He’d drive on up that hill
every night, every night
With a six pack and his transistor
He swore they spoke to him
every night, every night
But they didn't want him to take their picture

Twenty years have passed, there’s a lot I don’t know
The business went under, everyone was let go
I hear Mickey lives in Kingman and Ella’s retired
but Leroy hangs out in the desert
