Story behind the song
I'm a certified naturalist. I volunteer eradicating this menace.
Lyrics
It spreads out, all through the Midwest I take it out try, do my best But it grows just about everywhere Woods and prairies, it don't care It creeps out on to the land With His honeysuckle friend on hand Takes everything that needs to be free The natives with their need to seed So to save and protect of what still matters I pull out my buckthorn blaster I have it with me, wherever I go Thru the rain, cold, and winters snow In My back pocket, Hope it don't bleed I take it out when I feel the need I push on to the roots until they die When I'm done there's no where to hide I walk among the spiders and snakes Help our Mother of whatever it takes And when it becomes a natural disaster I pull out my buckthorn blaster So when I look upon this land I think of those native Indians Harmony can be more than just good music its in the earth and how you use it. so when I play this fender Stratocaster I'll still use my buck thorn My buckthorn, My buckthorn, Blaster but while I'm out there among the golden asters

What a great tune - brilliant idea for a Halloween tune - a creeping evil of the plant world. Nice lyric with some wry smiles, and superb vocal. Liked this a lot!
