The Howdy Hat
FREEDOM
Do you have happiness?
House and home, and all the rest?
Freedom
Freedom
Do you find them hard to get?
Are you sinking into debt?
Freedom
Freedom
All these things are so exclusive,
chasing what is quite elusive.
Have you dreamt of someone,
quite familiar loved one,
Then awoke with a start,
and you don’t know who they are?
Freedom
Freedom
Now you see it’s not the same
truly free or just in name
Having money is the key
without it life just isn’t free
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Some are crass enough to say
it’s fine to live this selfish way
You always have to pay to dance
but some of us don’t get the chance
I wonder what the rich would say
If it were the other way.
Having tasted luxury,
could they stomach poverty?

Now That She’s Gone
I hear her footsteps fallin’
as she walk on by.
I hear her footsteps fallin’
as she go on by.
I hear my front door slammin’ and I
hang my head and cry.
I’m so sad and blue
now that she’s gone.
I don’t quite know how I will
go on.
I know where she’s goin’.
I know she won’t be home.
I know where she’s goin’,
and she ain’t comin’ home.
That little gal of mine has
packed her trunk and gone.
Have mercy on me.
I don’t know what I’ll do.
With her I am happy,
without her I am blue.
I’m so sad and blue
now that she’s gone.
I don’t quite know how I will
go on.
I’m so sad and lonesome
since she want to go.
Yes, I’m so sad and lonesome
since she want to go.
That gal don’t want to hear me
when I tell her how I love her so.
Rockin’ the Cow
Well, me and my baby got a late start for the prom.
I tried to save us some time by cuttin’ out through the farm.
Well, we got out in the middle of a field,
I hit a stump, and I busted a wheel.
Then I said, “Hey baby, here we are!”
She bowed up and got her hair all mussed.
Uh-uh honey don’t you start to cuss.
I got a cooler full of Pabst Blue Ribbon
in the trunk of my carCome on honey!
Don’t you fuss.
I got a plan
for the two of us.
You crank up that radio,
and we’re gonna get this show on the road!
The best music in the whole damn town,
just me and my baby dancin’ with a plow.
Come on honey!
We’re really rockin’ the cow!
We got the best music in the whole damn town.
Well, we’re just dancin’ round a plow.
Come on baby!
We’re really rockin’ the cow.
She Said Touch Me
I sat so close beside her
it made my heart a’ pound.
I put my arm around her.
She said “You settle down!”
I said that I’d had all my shots,
she said that wasn’t it.
I tried to kiss her on the face
and found out that she bit.
I thought that I would win her
by massaging her neck’s nape.
She said these words, all out of breath,
as I held her lovely shape
She said touch me
She said touch me
She said touch me
and I’ll yell rape!
She quoted Bible verses and
she spoke of all the rules
about the way that folks should act.
I laughed and called them fools.
She said I ain’t a Christian soul
but I was dunked in the river and saved
Maybe that’s why my luck’s so bad
when it comes to gettin’ laid.
This is my sad, sad story,
a hole that in my life gapes
the woes of my poor love life,
my tale of sour grapes, ‘cos
She said touch me
She said touch me
She said touch me
and I’ll yell rape!
Theory of Gravity
So many theories
that I just don’t know what to do.
They say some theories
were meant to harm you.
You can’t trust science and theories
is what the preacher said.
But I wonder, what if out of the blue
a meteor were to just drop on your head,
‘cause you know, evolution is just a theory,
the preacher told me.
I wonder if that sucker knows
that so is gravity!
Get down!
With your gravity self!
