Chuck Puckett's music is eclectic, acoustic, improvisational and somewhat improbable. But it's also interesting and pretty cool to listen to.
I'm Chuck Puckett, and I hail from Decatur, Alabama. I've been a songwriter for way too many years, andI also write plays (musicals and straight plays). Most SoundClick material has been done solo, but I also in an eclectic string band called , and we do many of the songs I've written.

Story behind the song
Sitting around at work one day, our band (Bimini Road) was playing, and this came into my head.
Lyrics
Well, I stood around watching Just as long as I could There was no need in bitching And even if there was Any reason at all Nobody would Might as well have been a hanging Tie a rope to the tree If I had been a stranger I'd have been a lot Happier then Than a man like me Next time around I may have to be cruel Well, then I will But I swear, by God That I won't be fooled Oh, no, I won't Who'd thought they could do it? They were too well hid I'd a said, "Just screw it" Probably let it go Anywhere at all And be glad I did. But the thing was finished And it stood up proud All shiny and polished And the marketeers With their megaphones Shouted out real loud Do you just get a single Opportunity When you hang your shingle And announce you're here, With your stuff all set Ready to be free? And if you bend over double Working overtime Shouldna taken the trouble Sweating that sweat Eating that crap Till you're past your prime Hope there's d?j? vu Up around the bend And if it's all true That it rolls around On another track To me again Then I'm gonna be reckless And I'm gonna be hot Because life is thankless, Cruel and hard Short and sweet When a man is not COPYRIGHT 2000 CHUCK PUCKETT
