"I Reckon" lyrics
"I Reckon"
Who's this demon they call commercial
Whose eyes blink and little bells ring as it gathers in the pot
And stares balefully at it's audience of struggling young artists
We're all thinkin' commirsh come here I reckon
Who's this demon called commercial walkin' in the shiny black grooves
Molder classify and restricting those that are already restricted
And caged within a melody I reckon
Had I not made this record I still woulda made these songs
I'da sung them to my family my friends
And softly to myself I reckon
These are some of things that have drifted by my eyes
Seeped into my ears now passed from my mouth
Let the demon have mercy I reckon

Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized...

She says she wants
Everything she wants
I see she gets
That's my daughter in the water
Everything she owns I bought her
Everything she owns
That's my daughter in the water...
Townes Van Zandt - "Dead Flowers" And when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well, I hope you won't see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone
Take me down,...
Levon Helm - "Got Me A Woman" Oh, I got me a woman she's a pretty good woman at that
We live with a monkey and a Chinese acrobat
She calls me 'Tex', makes me wear a cowboy hat
But I don't care she's a pretty good woman at that...
