"You're The Man" lyrics
"You're The Man"
My back porch is not a grand location
Than a lovely little spot where I might go vacation
It's just that it's never been noticed before
Washington decided to open the door
To all the trees within a hundred mile radius
They want us all to pray and then they'll protect us
But make sure you wear your mask with a smiley face
Oh yeah, man
I'm so glad that my Dandy's old
And I'm so glad he's past the point of being told
To evacuate his house for his old bodies safety
To the place he walked on when he was a baby
Kept in a darkened room
With earthworms and big dirty mushrooms
Oh, thanks for the death sentence man
Oh, thank you, man
Somebody's been up there lining his pockets
While the poor folks bleed from there eyeball sockets
Somewhere a Mama's boy in a seersucker suit
Ate a buttermilk biscuit and took the loot
Loaded up the Cadillac for a rendezvous
To the Gulf beach where everybody just shoots the moon
Oh, thank a lot, man
I guess you want to unwind man
Thank you, man
Cause you know
You're the man

Turned out I was...
Delbert McClinton - "Lay Down Sally" There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me
I know you've got somewhere to go
Won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
Don't you ever leave
Lay down Sally, and rest...

Beautiful women were standing everywhere
They all got wet when he smashed that thing

Bonnie Raitt - "I Will Not Be Broken" That was then this is now
Found my way back here somehow
Knew you'd have to let me go
Told you once I told you so
Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me round
Push me...
Kathleen Edwards - "Six O'Clock News" Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds
And I can't even get inside to talk you down
Peter, sweet baby, where'd you get that gun?
You spend half your life trying to turn the other half...
