Dick Wiggler and the Cattle Guards came together over a Willie Nelson/George Jones song, Gotta Get Drunk. The title set the tone and the calling for this band.
Well I love to play that good old punk rock
Hey please don't doubt me I still love that stuff
But every now and then
The country will slip in
That's the way it goes my friend
I'll sit and listen to the clash all night long
Listen to the Ramones and all their songs
But every now and then
The country will slip in
That's the way it goes my friend
Take you down that old dirt road
With Haggard,Cash ,and little George Jones
You'll find me in a bar now
It's just like my home
My three wheeled glorified version of a home
I love to play in all the seedy bars
I know the Calbakes are good at smash guitars
But every now and then
The country will slip in
That's the way it goes my friend
That's the way it goes my friend
That's the way it goes my friend
That's the way it goes my friend
That's the way it goes my friend.
