about

Always wanted to write a talkin’ blues. In the spirit of Woody, Townes, Bob and more recently Dan Bern and Todd Snider. I suffer from my own share of dark head times, just like anyone. Though I'd make light of them a little bit. (This is supposed to be funny, don’t take it too seriously now, y'hear?)

lyrics

Well, I woke up bright and early today, then i woke up again a little less early
Then i woke up again not quite so bright and finally I said, ok, i better get this show on the road
So i put on my pants, i put on my shirt
Then i glanced at the clock..
It was getting late so i went back to bed... got to bed early, though!

Some people have sad running in their veins, it’s a default setting we were wired that way
But you can’t send back to the factory unless you have a warranty
So i wrote to my folks asking if mine was still good. I waited a while for a response... And finally i heard back from them-- they yelled down.. Move the hell out of our basement. (Please).

You start to think about suicide what it be like if you up and died
How many people’d show up on your funeral day what kind of speeches your friends’d make
Course, i suppose you could find out these same things if you just... up and got married.
Maybe stick with the first plan… suicide!

I wake up in the night with voices in my head they’re still there talking when i go back to bed
Voices when i write, voices when i play voices follow me out on stage,
Never heard so many voices.
So i started talking back to em, I said: You don’t deserve to be here. You don’t control me. You can’t control my mind. Cause you’re lonely, nobody loves you nobody wants you nobody cares about you you’re wasting your time you don’t have any friends everything you do is worthless you’re worthless you’ll die a worthless piece of worthless crap that nobody loves or cares about because you’re worthless
Yeah, it didn’t work, they’re still there. I just gave em new ideas!

Well, i woke up bright and early again, this time i did it I GOT OUT OF BED!
Got outta the house and made it to the gym, patted my back and called it a win.
Then i overheard some guy say, “welp, tomorrow’s another day”.
I slapped him

Well, I am sad and you are sad and your friends are sad and your family’s sad
Everyone’s sad about being sad nothin is good, everything is bad
But you know what they say... “It’s good to have something to look forward to”.
Can’t wait to hear what they say at my funeral.
Or wedding!

Well, I am sad and you are sad and your friends are sad and your family’s sad
Everyone’s sad about being sad nothin is good, everything is bad
Well, I am sad and you are sad and your friends are sad and your family’s sad
Everyone’s sad about being sad nothin is good… and everything is bad.
