Featuring Darryll du Toit on guitar

lyrics

Travel by foot or on a calico nag
Where brains don’t work there’s always brawn
Pour your resentment, baby, into this bag
We’ll leave it on some church’s lawn

chorus:
There’s no Cadillac in our driveway now
There’s a pickup truck with no wheels
My regret is deep but this hill’s too steep
A fellow feels what he feels

A word to the wise is not enough, I am told
I should have bought a paragraph
Of sterner stuff I wasn’t made, but behold!
I think I still can make you laugh

You seemed to mistake me, baby, for someone else
Someone much handsomer than I
I warned you a million times or more but you chose
to view me with an unseeing eye

The lamb isn’t silent anymore
The chickens have come home to roost
I can’t seem to get up off the floor
My vaccine’s may need a boost
