Singer/ songwriter
Lawrence Bullock is a singer songwriter living in Mendocino, CA I'm often asked who I sound like, what kind of music do I play. Well, I listen to a lot of things. In Ireland they say I sound like Christie Moore, Bob Dylan (which surprises the hell out of me), Van Morrison (again, surprised) and I've even gotten Jim Croce on occasion. But you know, I'm thinking of chucking it all and banging on rocks til I reach a state where the atoms split apart and I realize that life's the first skip of the stone God throws across the Universe pond. I just write what comes into my head. I never think about writing a "hit" tune. I know the formula for writing a "hit" tune, it just never occurs to me to write one. The music biz these days is so corporatized, that what I write seems quaint and out of date. Oh well, I can only write what I write.

Lyrics
The cowboy came to town The cowboy looked around He pulled his pistol and he shot the law He said, "I thought that he was gonna draw," "You didn't see what you think you saw." Yippee ki yi yay Yippee ki yi yo The cowboy pinned the star to his shirt He walked into the saloon and the whores all started to flirt Just when the party was beginning to crank Some bad guys blew the safe in the local bank "Not to worry," said the cowboy, "It's just a prank" Yippee ki yi yay Yippee ki yi yo BRIDGE Down the road at a town called Crazy (not so very far away) Somebody struck it rich and the ground began to pay They started going looney, like rich folk often do Led by The Mayor, who had himself a secret or two.... "Well," the cowboy said, with a wink "We oughta get ourselves a piece of that action. Buy everyone a drink." And while the whores and the ropers all rolled around The cowboy sent a posse to Crazy town They shocked 'em and they awed 'em and they burned the town down Yippee ki yi yay Yippee ki yi yo Next day sober, hungover, and green around the gills And the smoke from the burned down town making everybody ill And doubts about the cowboy, well, they grew and they grew Cause the cowboy didn't seem to be telling it true He was lying, they were dying (it could happen to you) Yippee ki yi yay Yippee ki yi yo Now the townfolk all got together They said, "There's something going down and it ain't the weather." The cowboy started looking a little pale Now comes the best part of this western tale Those people rode the cowboy out of town on a rail.... Yippee ki yi yay Yippee ki yi yo
