The "Elgin" in this song is Elgin, South Carolina, just NorthEast of Columbia.
Elgin City Limits
wmh - 3/2/2012
Spent a day there one week
Must have been on a losing streak
When I picked up a girl
On what seemed to be the main street
Where the traffic light, Lord
Don't try to slow me down
'Cause I'm more than ready to just up and leave this town
Knocked up and tongue-tied
Tryin' hard not to stare at the bride
'cause when Daddy comes home
I'll be redneck country-fried
She said she was eighteen
But she felt thirty strong
I could use a couple bucks, but some buckshot in my breeches might move me along
Times, they seem to change
Things get re-arranged
I fell for the gimmick
In the Elgin City Limits
Where the traffic light, Lord
Won't shine upon my crown
'Cause I'm thirty miles out, and no way I'm turning around
Knocked up and tongue-tied
Tryin' hard not to stare at the bride
'cause when Daddy comes home
I'll be redneck country-fried
She said she was eighteen
But she felt thirty strong
I could use a couple bucks, but some buckshot in my breeches might move me along
[repeat chorus]
