It's my way or the highway There really ain't a second choice Wait eight hours to be picked up By some banjo plucking bucktoothed boys Or you can throw your bags in the back Of my cream colored Cadillac Whitewall tires, sabertooth tiger seat covers front and back Or you can throw your bags in the back Of my cream colored Cadillac Portable wet bar, entertainment center and a trampoline autovac Got a dozen sumptuous honeys Playboy bunnies every last one Every night I- get the money And they don't stop till I say they're done Sometimes they all pile into the back Of my cream colored Cadillac When I blast my woofers and tweeters We make this car a shake shack They all pile into the back Of my cream colored Cadillac Color television, road glare omission. The precision’s Positrack (SPOKEN ON CB Radio) Affirmative on this citizen band My handy handle is The Velvet Smog Mostly I sandbag, make sure no oaky doaky smokies Gonna bust up this pickle park 10-4 good buddy, I got your lot lizard here and she’s no mama bear she’s feisty, a little anti-Christ-y It's my way or the highway There really ain't a second choice Wait eight hours to be picked up By some banjo plucking bucktoothed boys Or you can throw your bags in the back Of my cream colored Cadillac Whitewall tires, sabertooth tiger seat covers front and back Or you can throw your bags in the back Of my cream colored Cadillac Portable wet bar, entertainment center, trampoline autovac Oh we own, we own the road! Oh we own, we own the road! Oh we own, we own the road! Oh we own, we own the road!

Hummer 04:53
Ain't got a life, ain't got an occupation No longer the center of the equation Only police want to know every which way I go All the hangers on have fled here Since finances are in the red , dear Only revere the famous and the dead here And if you're in between, no one tells you so But that was long ago Back when I loved you so...oh oh oh One more Indian summer spying on you in my Hummer Though I don't belong, I won't be here for long I know that I am just wasting my time Crying over this whole world over Saturday night is just another evening Once this whole worlds was spinning not careening There was love everywhere, love enough for all to share Now rats have made their nests in the ceiling Where plaster falls and paint is peeling I filled my coffers but I lost all feeling And that's how it goes when you're the last to know But that was long ago Back when I loved you so...oh oh oh One more Indian summer stretched out in my Hummer Though I don't belong, I won't be here for long I know that I am just wasting my time Crying over this whole world over Yeah! Guzzling gas! Prius you'd better let me pass! You're not saving the world's ass Coz he's back here with a drink in a flask! Guess I'll go for one tour around the town where I'll see some new old signs coming down there Coz time marches on, even you soon will be gone Gone...gone...oh oh oh One more Indian summer spying on you in my Hummer Though I don't belong, I won't be here for long I know that I am just wasting my time Crying over this whole world over

Photographs I hid underneath our bed Two baby faced blurs masquerading as us Talked and talked until they both had their fill And all of the words moved on Tell me why you can't resist Feeding me lines where the only rejoinder is Breaking up but no one's saying it Just cry and laugh behind our hands The Silent Clowns... The Silent Clowns... The people in 2D say they hear every move we make Every door you slam draws them a diagram Why can't you just STOP ! bringing her name up Why can't you just let it drop? Tell me why you can't resist Feeding me lines where the only rejoinder is Breaking up but no one's saying it Back to back and sleeping sound Dreaming just like silent clowns

He can only detain her, she's on every third page of newspaper She did him a favor and if the movie gets released he might probably pay her Countrypolitan girl, Mama's pride and pearl She haunts this white picket world She don't wear painted on jeans She dresses like the Opry queens Back when they used to turn heads In their fringes and their epaulets Hair in a perpetual curl Countrypolitan girl He was a charmer, he could  sell you a Christmas tree in the summer He promised her stardom but he embezzled her future with his Faustian bargain But Countrypolitan girl managed to evade His criminal escapades He's a one man Bialystock and Bloom He never could seal her door In his plastic film can tomb Now she's made it off to Dollywood One letter off but twice as good Countrypolitan girl Now if you hear someone say That fame and fortune are just a boot scoot away Don't pay them no heed The documentarian did a dastardly deed But Countrypolitan girl She of the big blue eyes Drove off in a new sunrise She ditched the vampire fiends They sunk their fangs in different things Lost her mama when she was young Now every country song that's sung Sounds just like a lullaby Bye Bye Countrypolitan girl, Mama's pride and pearl She haunts this white picket world She don't wear painted on jeans She dresses like the Opry queens When her future came to call Like a broken record on a wall She recognized her Lucifer Countrypolitan girl She's that Countrypolitan girl

about

San Jacinto Prison Band Phoenix, Arizona

When San Jacinto Prison Warden William Crosley realized the Scared Witless program his facility introduced was not deterring kids from pursuing a life of crime and in fact was creating new felons daily. To that he formed the San Jacinto Death Row Prison Band. "Every last one of the musicians is one overturned sentence from frying in a strapping chair," said Crosley diplomatically. ... more
