My band is me... I am really not a band, just a songwriter who enjoys playing and singing. I've written a lot of songs over my lifetime but no one has ever hear
Story behind the song
It's a fun song I wrote special for a friend that was ailing. It was supposed to make him laugh and it did so I accomplished my mission. It was written 2 decades before I became a Gov't Mule fan but it's my Mule song now. Funny how things happen.
Lyrics
Country folks and skinny eyed mules
may dress funny and talk like fools but take a
look at city slicks, always moanin' always sick,
always gettin picketed.
And you will find for sure, they may be dirty
but they know the cure...
Don't graze too close to your
neighbors grass, he may turn round and
take a bite out of you. (ouch)
History repeats itself,
nothings gonna be
that's been that hasn't.
So why can't we just settle down,
enjoy the people hangin' round.
Make every night a night on the town.
Glad to know you, what's your name?
Is it really! What a shame.
You say I should be on stage,
It leaves at 3, you're kidding me!
So on these words I'll say so long,
wish you luck and
hope it won't be long
till you're all strong again.
But until then please keep laughin......
