A Folk/Blues artist from the US Pacific Northwest A Songwriter, Singer, Storyteller, Slide Guitarist & Sawplayer Earthy vocals, resophonic guitar bottleneckin’ and the rhythmic moans of harmonica combine while foot stompin’ pounds out a beat.
While chatting with a friend on Facebook, he shared a comment that included the line, "Keep the boom boom on the hush hush." He didn't recall typing it but I do. It was such an off the wall comment, that it immediately got stuck between my ears. The song almost wrote itself, around that single line.
Keep The Boom Boom On The Hush Hush
2017 REGGIE MILES All rights reserved
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
No need to advertise
This is between, just you and me
Not for them other guys
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
Now doncha open yer mouth
Keep yer lips from flappin, lock 'em up tight
Or everythings gonin south
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
Workin the street
Late one night
I got invited to party
With another man's wife
I walked her home
She laid me down
Before I left in the mornin
She warned, "Don't breath a sound!"
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
Cuz if ya blow my cover
Yer gonna lose more than a friend my friend
Yer gonna lose one sweet lover
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
Keep it tween just us two
And I'll see ya again tomorrow night
If you ain't got nothing better to do
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
I rolled into town
And before I could blink
I got a text that read
Drop by for a drink
When I got to the joint
Everybody was high
The host took me aside
And said kinda sly
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
No need to spread this round
Don't spoil the fun for everyone
By sharin what's goin down
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
Just keep this to yourself
Don't let a soul know what's happenin
It could be bad for someone's health
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
The Washington DC establishment
Is really havin a ball
Shreddin our social safety nets
And affordable healthcare for all
They do their despicable deeds
Late at night when we're asleep
Then they turn to one another
And say, "Shhh! Don't whisper a peep!"
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
No need to let this out
If the press catches wind, it would be the end
Of our party without a doubt
Keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
Now don't anyone let this leak
Whistleblowin could land you in prison
And the rest of us would be up a creek
So, keep the boom boom, on the hush hush
