Description:
a tragic song about a tragic man

Lyrics:
This old man's got a bottle and a gun
Gone out shootin for to have a little fun
A bottle and a gun aint the best of pairs
This old man's too drunk to care

The reason that he feels so mean
His woman left home for to find her dream
He's so stubborn that he won't let go
Stuck in a bottle now don't ya know

(c)
Hold on Willy
Look what you've gone and done
Should've set that bottle down
And never touched that gun
Now your day is done

This old man's got his shoes untied
Tripped and he fired and he nearly died
That he didn't die was just dumb luck
The old man killed his pickup truck

Got so mad and he got so mean
He kept on shootin his machine
Must have drunk himself so blind
The old man missed it every time

(c)

This old man with his bottle and gun
Doesn't really know what he's gone and done
He shot a horse and he shot a train
He shot the wing of an aeroplane

Drank so much his brain went dumb
Shot so much his hand went numb
Next thing you know well he heard them sirens
This old man just kept on firing

(c)

Yee-Haw!! &mdash 06/01/06 - 12:10:31 AM
I love your sense of humor and beautiful, beautiful voice. This is C&W
with a twist. The line "a bottle and a gun," ain't the best of pairs," is
hee-haw-larious.

I'm really glad to see you posting over here, since this is where I tend
to do most of my listening and posting and want to hear everything
you do, but have a hard time juggling life at MJ and life outside of MJ.
So, I'm glad that I'll get an email notification every time you post from
the magical MJ server.

So cool to see you here. I'm off to spread the word.

Such ease of delivery with your vox -- like a summer rain, I could listen to
it all day. Keep 'em coming.

Peace,
Paul

Instant classic &mdash 06/14/06 - 10:06:20 AM
An instant classic. Really like the shuffling snare, the whole feel. WHo
added the fiddle? Full of smiles amidst the tragic lyrics, highlighting the
absurdity life gets us into, or how absurd we can become when we draw
outside the lines life lays before us.

Love that fiddle. &mdash 06/15/06 - 10:15:54 PM
Organic instruments sound great to one like myself who mainly fiddles
with midi. Great lyrics and vocal too. Regards
