My Mom Ain't in Prison Either

Continuing my country song (see previous post)

Da Da Da Dum
I need me some coffee
Da Da Da Dum
To give me some zip
Da Da Da Dum
I've hauled many records
Da Da Da Dum
screaming back and hips

Da Da Da Dum
Post office guy hides
Da Da Da Dum
When I come through the door
Da Da Da Dum
My Mom ain't in prison
Da Da Da Dum
But she passed out on the floor

Da Da Da Dum
Thought she might buy new glasses
Da Da Da Dum
If sales were enough
Da Da Da Dum
Those things are expensive
Da Da Da Dum
And times are financially tough

Da Da Da Dum
Sold a couple hundred more records
Da Da Da Dum
To folks across the land
Da Da Da Dum
We're all sh*tting twinkies
Da Da Da Dum
Got 7K in my hand!

Can you freaking believe it? These things have been going like hotcakes to buyers from Japan, Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium and even Brazil. Not just collectors have been purchasing them, but music libraries and historical archival companies from across the planet.

I am STOPPING totally for the summer in about 10 days, so I can enjoy the rest of vacation. Got lots of funny stories to tell about some of these characters I've met when I get back.

Miss you!

You have inspired me to go thru my Mothers 40's & 50's 33rpm record collection just a little bit faster!

I moved again and am slowly starting the painful process of over analyzing my lack of writing :)

Missed you! *hugs*
