Juan Albarran

Country songwriter

Hi! My name's Juan Albarran. I was born in Barcelona, Spain, but somehow I started writing country songs in English, don't ask me why. I moved to Indianapolis in July of 2002 and I hope someday my songs get enough attention in Music City to move there and make a living as a songwriter. Dreaming is free!

Lyrics

THE DUCT TAPE SONG

(WORDS AND MUSIC BY KIRBY D. JARVIS AND JUAN M. ALBARRAN)
COPYRIGHT 2004



SHE SLAMMED THE TRAILER DOOR BEHIND HER
AS I WAS BEGGIN’ HER TO STAY
SHE SAID SHE’D HAD ENOUGH OF ME
AND MY PENNY-PINCHIN’ WAYS
NOW I NEED HELP GETTING OVER HER
AND THE ONE THING I’VE ALWAYS TURNED TO
HAS GOT HUNDREDS OF PRACTICAL USES
BUT THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH IT CAN DO

     IT CAN FIX A BUSTED TAIL LIGHT 
     OR A RUSTED REAR BUMPER ON A BEAT-UP FOUR BY FOUR
     OR PATCH A CRACK IN A BACK BEDROOM WINDOW 
     OR A TORN SCREEN IN A DOOR
     IT CAN KEEP JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU’D NEED 
     FROM FALLING APART
     BUT DUCT TAPE CAN’T FIX A BROKEN HEART

IF SHE’D TORN THE TAIL OFF MY SINGIN’ TROUT
OR BROKE MY BOWLIN’ TROPHY IN TWO
I’D TAKE A LITTLE PIECE OF THAT SHINY SILVER
AND MAKE ‘EM LOOK LIKE NEW
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT SHE DID
SHE WASN’T PLAYIN’ FAIR
‘CAUSE SHE WENT AND BROKE THE ONE THING 
SHE KNEW DUCT TAPE COULDN’T REPAIR

     IT CAN FIX A BROKEN FAN BELT 
     OR A RADIO ANTENNA, REATTACH A WINDSHIELD WIPER
     OR MEND A SEAM IN A GREEN VINYL SOFA 
     OR A RIP IN AN OLD RECLINER
     IT CAN KEEP JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU’D NEED 
     FROM FALLING APART
     BUT DUCT TAPE CAN’T FIX A BROKEN HEART

IT’S BEEN THE WORLD’S GREATEST INVENTION 
SINCE MAN CREATED THE WHEEL
BUT EVEN A THOUSAND FEET OF THAT STICKY STUFF
CAN’T CHANGE THE WAY I FEEL

     (REPEAT 1ST CHORUS)
