Gulf & Western Music
"Gulf-n-Western music is a laid-back acoustic sound made
famous by the likes of Jimmy Buffett, Jerry Jeff Walker, Fred Neil and Steve Goodman." Rollin' Stoned Magazine 4/20 RAGTOP DAY Jimmy Buffett The five o'clock Friday blows I let it go I got to let it go I put on my weekend clothes Turn on the rock n' roll Throw all our cares away It's a ragtop day It's a ragtop day Classy little white and red turns everybody's head My baby meets me at the Five and Dime She's always right on time We roll all our cares away It's a ragtop day It's a ragtop day Cruise across the county line A little dance and dine A drive in picture show And when the midnight's comin' down We're headin' back to town She lets her lovin' show Feels like we're the only ones to see the morning sun Sleepin' thru the afternoon and risin' with the moon Oh don't the stars look bright It's a ragtop night It's a ragtop night We'll throw all our cares away I live for that ragtop day Come on over here baby, get in this car, we'll cruise on down to the Gulf, & listen to some Western music, get us a cool one at the Flor-a-Bama, yeah...
