Slow Year For The Corn

Nobody there at the petrol station / when the fire broke out
Spread like wildflower out of control / burned thirty acres out
Still no water from the promise of rain / just the same old drought
I dropped a dollar in my Sunday best / Prayed at the good lord’s house

It was a slow year for the corn
It was a slow year for the corn
It was a slow year for the corn
But we’ll be alright tonight

Came straight home when I got the news / The Senator is dead
There’ll be no money to rebuild the farm / That’s what the paper said
We gave grace in the good man’s name / And past the last cornbread
There’ll be no money to rebuild the farm / Echoed in my head

It was a slow year for the corn
It was a slow year for the corn
It was a slow year for the corn
But we’ll be alright
Gonna be alright


Barn Door Swing

That barn door swings / That barn door knocks
That barn door rattles / When the roosters ready to rock
And when the barn door swings wide open / It’ll get real hot

Get ready for a chicken scratch / Get ready for three kool kats
Get ready for a Georgia peach / Get ready for the Texas heat
Across the USA/ Across the USA

That barn door swings / That barn door knocks
That barn door rattles / When the roosters ready to rock
And when the barn door swings wide open / It’ll get real hot

Get ready for a chicken shake / Get ready for goodness sake
Get ready for a button fly / Get ready to be up all night
Across the USA/ Across the USA

That barn door swings / That barn door knocks
That barn door rattles / When the roosters ready to rock
And when the barn door swings wide open / It’ll get real hot


Albuquerque Calling

There’s a town outside Bernallio County / In a hundred years nothing has changed
You can still find my family / The adobe walls my Grandfather built is still standing
And the home sweet home / my Grandmother made with her hands

Albuquerque Calling / Calling me back home to the southwestern rain
Albuquerque Calling / Calling me back home to the New Mexico plains
And I still hear it ring off he wall Albuquerque Calling

Some people say I’m my Father’s son / Just a chip off the block
Still runnin’ down the road / Still the black sheep of the flock
Still searchin’ for something we won’t find / Still lookin’ for the tell-tale signs
But we keep on diggin’ / Cause El Dorado’s just a mile from here

In a land of enchantment and glory / I’m gonna settle down
Take my stand and my hard luck stories / Dig ‘em into the ground
When I look up at the desert sky and see the eagle flying high
It still stands for freedom / Freedom and American pride

Albuquerque Calling / Calling me back home to the southwestern rain
Albuquerque Calling / Calling me back home to the New Mexico plains
And I still hear it ring off he wall Albuquerque Calling
And I still hear it ring off he wall Albuquerque Calling
And I still hear it ring off he wall Albuquerque Calling


Martini Shakin’ Man
Listen On MP3

I want vodka but I don’t want stirred
Straight up cause I want it a blur
Gettin’ drunk on a Saturday night
My love’s kissin’ everyone in sight
Hey bartender! Gimme somethin’ good tonite

Martini Shakin’ Man, Martini Shakin’ Man
Shake it up in a can, Martini Shakin’ Man
Martini Shakin', ‘tini Shakin’ Man

Give me another cause I’ve had it to here
Mix it good cause I don’t want clear
Gettin’ drunk on a Saturday night
My love’s kissing everyone in sight
Hey bartender! Gimme somethin’ good tonite

Martini Shakin’ Man, Martini Shakin’ Man
Shake it up in a can, Martini Shakin’ Man
Martini Shakin', ‘tini Shakin’ Man

Make it dirty with a splash of lime
So strong you can call it a crime
Gettin’ drunk on a Saturday night
My love’s kissing everyone in sight
Hey bartender! Gimme somethin’ good tonite

Martini Shakin’ Man, Martini Shakin’ Man
Shake it up in a can, Martini Shakin’ Man
Martini Shakin', ‘tini Shakin’ Man
