Bob Wire

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

This might be a tough lifestyle, but I'm no quitter!

Lyrics

Well I been chasin’ wild women and stayin’ out late,
I occasionally throw the dice
And now and then I might have broke the law,
I been in jail once or twice
But the time has come to clean up my act,
At least that’s what the jury said.
The judge would have liked to put me away,
But his wife thought I was good in bed.

Chorus
Get drunk and celebrate
Clean livin’ makes you feel so great.
Say goodbye to all that sorrow
Gonna get started first thing…tomorrow.

They say my drinkin’s out of hand,
It’s got to be controlled.
If  I get one more DUI,
It’s life in jail, I’m told.
But even if I got the chair,
You can bet your ass on this:
When they asked me for my last request
I’d say ‘I’ll take the fifth.’

Chorus

So I’ll take the cure; I’ll keep my body pure,
I’ll ask the preacher ‘can I join your church?’
He’ll probably say things are so bad anyway
You ain’t gonna make it much worse.
But give me one last night of sin
And I swear I’ll toe the line.
‘Cause you gave us 10 commandments, Lord,
And so far I’ve only broken nine.
