... But Hawaii's where I wanna be
upbeat positive variety literate
Artist picture
Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Lyrics
(I’m a) ‘UKULELE PLAYER IN TEXAS Words and Music ©2010 by Ron Tintner I’m a ukulele player in Texas But Hawaii’s where I wanna be I don’t care much for country music I’d rather hear a Polynesian melody I feel like a fish out of water Yearning for Waikiki I’m a ukulele player in Texas But Hawaii’s where I wanna be I used to be a guitar picker Playin’ all them honky tonks Takin’ requests for a thousand and one Drinkin' and cheatin' songs Then I got my hands on that four-stringed wonder and Learned to play Aloha ‘Oe Now I’m a ukulele player in Texas But Hawaii’s where I wanna be BRIDGE: The beach, the sand Sun tan lotion and Hula girls They’re in, my plans But the cost of living there is out of this world So I play my ukulele in Texas, and Pass the hat each night Taking requests till I make enough money to Cover the rent and the flight I’m livin’ country music, But dreamin’ Aloha ‘Oe I’m a ukulele player in Texas But Hawaii’s where I wanna be -- BRIDGE-- I’m livin’ country music, But I’m dreamin’ Aloha ‘Oe I’m a ukulele player in Texas But Hawaii’s where I wanna be Yes I’m playing ukulele in the Lone Star State But Hawaii… That’s the place for me
