Vocal duet with Amanda Jo Williams. Nigel hardy, piano; Tome Bone Jenkins, dobro; Joe Kille, fiddle. UNMASTERED version, because the file is too big for Soundclick.
Bunch of old geezers who think they can still rock. Guitars n' stuff.
I write songs and play them. Other people help me. I love them very much.
Lyrics
CHORUS:
I’m so sad and lonely, lying on my bed
So I went to the bakery to get a loaf of bread
I bought a cheese Danish, cookies and a pie
But I forget the bread, so I went to bed, I’d lost my appetite
You never had much appetite, as far as I could see
If there’s anything you wanted, it sure wasn’t me
Your bottles and your substances were your priority
The only time I felt alright was at the bakery
Once I had a girlfriend, she worked in the bakery
Used to get a lot of tips and day-old bread for free
But she met a guy from Tuxedo Park with a big Victorian house
Guess I couldn’t blame her, she took her apron and moved out
That day-old bread was all we ever had, half the time
You squandered all my money and you wasted all my time
All I had by the time I left was my apron and my clothes
You sold all my jewelry and snuffed it up your nose
CHORUS, together
INST
I saw your friend with the pumpkin head, sneakin’ ‘round my gate
Tell your spy eat sh** and die, and please just go away
Maybe I’m just a country girl and my heart is made of gold
But I’m warning you, we’re done, we’re through, and I’m good with a .38
I checked my email all day long but no one wrote to me
So I turned on the radio, tape player and TV
Then I got a boom box and I played my own CD
I took it in the bedroom and I sang along with me (and I was singing-)
CHORUS, together
And ever since that day it’s just me living here
If anybody asks me I’ll say that I don’t care
You don’t care because you never knew what you had
I don’t need your platitudes, I’m gone and I’m glad
But there’s a reason why I lie in bed all weekend long
Haven’t had a cherry pie, since that gal’s been gone.
This one is really beautiful!!!!!!!
