It's called Maximum Honky Tonk, and no one plays it like Bob Wire. Country, blues, rockabilly, folk, and some good ol' rock and roll. Honest, smart and funny.
Funniest blog on the web? Judge for yourself at NewWest.net/BobWire. You won't regret it. I swear. This is Butt-twitchin' country music for adults with a brain and a sense of humor! Bob Wire writes catchy, original songs with a twisted perspective that puts him way out in the left field of Nashvegas. Bob sez: Hank Jr. is the disease, and Hank Sr. is the cure.

Story behind the song
One of my songwriting goals is to come up with a great atheist gospel song. This is a step in that direction.
Lyrics
Time ain’t nothing but a needle and thread Stitching up the memories in your head You spend a lifetime making that quilt Then one day when your history’s built Your number comes up and they sound that horn And the moment you leave another baby is born Chorus As for me, I’m gonna stick around There will be no cryin’, pie-in-the-skyin’, praying at the lost and found I’ll be fishing in a stream, pulling in a 3-pound rainbow I’m gonna be right here, sipping cold beer, six feet over the ground Solo Some folks think that heaven is waiting They live their lives anticipating That glorious day when the gates open wide St. Peter gives a nod and they step inside I won’t be singing that particular refrain Till I get a postcard from a higher plane Chorus As for me, I’m gonna take my time Seven come eleven, stairway to heaven, I’m never gonna make that climb I’ll be sitting on a beach, watching a Florida sunset Forever on earth, perpetual birth, rolling like a brand new dime Forever on earth, perpetual birth, rolling like a brand new dime
