Another Delbert McClinton cover. The original features Lyle Lovett and John Prine as guest vocalists. I couldn't get Lyle and John over to the house so I had to do all the vocals :) All licenses and permissions obtained through Loudr.

I'm a guitarist, singer, and songwriter from central Kentucky. My music is a mix of many different influences; from the country and western I heard as a child to some stuff I heard yesterday. I was a full time, working musician for over twenty years; doing clubs and concerts all over the eastern U.S., but mainly in Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. I have played every kind of venue; from the smallest, seediest club to 10,000 seat concert halls. Loved every minute of it. I also spent many hours in various studios as both musician and producer on a variety of projects. I am now a part time musician; I divide my musical time between writing and recording my own songs and playing with a great bunch of musicians in a band called "The Grandees". I write songs primarily to make you shake your money maker. I'm not deep, and I'm certainly no virtuoso. I just want you to have a good time. The songs I have here are from my second solo CD, titled "The Twisted Tale Of The Honky Tonk Monkey", which is available at CDBaby.com and my upcoming CD "Bad Choices Make Good Stories". My first CD, "All Night Radio", is available at CD Baby and fine CD discount bins everywhere. Thank you for visiting, and... TURN IT UP!!!!!

Lyrics
Big house, big car, back seat, full bar Houseboat won't float, bank won't tote the note Too much stuff, there's just too much stuff It'll hang you up dealing with too much stuff Hangin' out on the couch puttin' on the pounds Better walk, run, jump, swim, try to hold it down You're eatin' too much stuff, too much stuff It'll wear you down, carrying around too much stuff Hundred dollar cab ride, fogged in, can't fly Greyhound, Amtrak, oughta bought a Cadillac Too much stuff, too much stuff It'll slow you down, fooling with too much stuff Well, it's way too much You're never gonna get enough You can pile it high But you'll never be satisfied Rent-a-tux, shiny shoes, backstage, big schmooze Vocal group can't sing, won awards for everything Too much stuff, too much stuff They just keep on going, rolling in all that stuff Got hurt, can't work, got a lot o' bills But the policy don't pay 'less I get killed Too much stuff, too much stuff Just my luck, counting on too much stuff Well, it's way too much You're never gonna get enough You can pile it high But you'll never be satisfied Running back can't score till he gets a million more Quarterback can't pass, owner wants his money back Too much stuff, too much stuff You know, you can't get a grip when you're slipping in all that stuff Women every which-a-way messing with my mind You know, I fall in love every day three or four times Too much stuff, too much stuff It'll mess you up, fooling with too much stuff Yeah, too much stuff, too much stuff Too much stuff, too much stuff You never get enough 'cause there's just too much stuff You know you can hurt yourself, fooling with too much stuff Yeah, it'll tear you down, fooling with all that stuff
