The characters in this song are real people, the story is a complete fabrication, except one of them may have been to Lahaina once.

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
Red Dirt Eddie and his pal Joe Petty and a cat they just called Jewell. Were workin on a scheme to start livin' the dream. They were gatherin' plans and tools. When a shady named Katie who was Joe's old lady said "Listen to what I say". "If it's just you three then you're gonna need me. Or you're gonna get blown away". Katie had a sister who was hot as a blister she was tryin to get a grip. Had a lotta guile a Mona Lisa smile. She was mostly known for her lip. Petty wasn't ready to give up that steady so they let little sister in. Then the lip started slippin' everybody started trippin'. They was out in the weeds again. Amen Sister. She blew the plan. Then up jumped the man. She lost her smile. Now she'll be gone a while. Red Dirt Eddie always hedged a bet he always left some space to turn. When he saw the man he just switched his plan. He said "Let Mona Lisa burn". Petty and Jewell was just as cool they grabbed the loot and ran Now it's just them three and the coconut trees. On the sweet Lahaina sand. Amen Sister
