Red Meat

Encompassing the gamut of Americana, Red Meat effortlessly weave in and out of Western Swing Revival, folkie country songs, and lonesome, California Honky-Tonk

California's real Honky-Tonk band shines like burning stars in the Bakersfield sky. Red Meat marinate their warm and tangy twang with close gospel-influenced, male/female harmonies, textured fiddle tones, weeping pedal steel, tube-toned guitar picking, sweet mandolin chimes, an elastic rhythm section, and the occasional old-timey yodel. Encompassing the gamut of Americana, Red Meat effortlessly weave in and out of Western Swing Revival, folkie country songs, and lonesome, California Honky-Tonk angel anthems.

Lyrics

I can't seem to part with my '64 Dogde Dart
It's a work of art never mind that it don't start
I bought it used back in 1989
That little MOPAR monster is like an old friend of mine

I'm gona see if my mecanis can bring it back to life
 
I'm as nervous as a sergeons' patient about to go under the knife

Well I talked to my mechanic and he told me not to panic
As he pulled my engine out with a winch
He's got to keep it overnigh and I'm just a little frightened
Coz my car's going under the wrench

Well that ol Dogde has sat in my garage 
It's been yers since the last time it ran
And it's had the same starter ever since Jimmy Carter
Was the president of this great land

In needs some work on the rings and alot of other things
Too numerous to mention
Like a voltage regulator and a new alternator
Oh my car's going under the wrench

According to mechanical diagnostitions
My transmissions in critical condition
Don't need a mechanic, I need a magician
Have I ever considered demolition?

Well I talked to my mechanic and he told me not panic 
As he pulled my engine out with a winch
He's got to keep it overnigh and I'm just a little frightened
Cause my car's goin under the wrench

It needs a new oil pump, fuel pump
It's always something, man I know my wallets gonna feel the pinch
When I get the bill, I hope you pardon my French
Oh my car's going under the wrench
