Country GIrl 05:06
This country town just can't hold a girl like you So you left with $20 and your favorite high-heeled shoes Went to the city where you knew you'd be a star Got a job dancin' at a local corner bar Got your postcard yesterday, well, you're gonna be a star Ain't gonna be that little country girl no more Met a guy he's making movies from his hotel room Gonna see your name in lights, and you're gonna see it soon All those guys offer you fortune and fame But they only love you when you show up with cocaine Stole your roommate's guitar and you pawned your mamma's pearls What ever happened to my little country girl? Got your postcard yesterday, well, you're gonna be a star Ain't gonna be that little country girl no more Met a guy he's making movies from his hotel room Gonna see your name in lights ... "Had to tell you I'm doin' great out here on my own Clubbin' in the city sure is fun, not like the broken-down honky-tonks back home "Met a man and it's gonna happen! I'm finally gonna be a star! Start filmin' up in room 819 after we meet up at the hotel bar "Had to run out on my cellphone bill; could you send $500 to the Western Union 'til I get paid? It takes at least a month for one o' these movies to get made ..." Got your postcard yesterday, well, you're gonna be a star Ain't gonna be that little country girl no more Met a guy he's making movies from his hotel room Gonna see your name in lights ... Gonna hear your song tonight And if things don't work out you can come home to me © 2013 J. Machamer, L. Litonjua, Mesabilly Recordings. All rights reserved.

Y'all, ol' Pappy Weeper used to say to me, "Quibeaux, the Devil drives a hard bargain. Ain't nothin' wrong with doin' a little barganin' back." Here in the Weeper clan we like to sing a song about that and it goes a little somethin' like this ...

K'Ching 03:05
A-one, a-two, one, two ... FIVE-FOUR-THREE-TWO-ONE-K'CHING! That girlie's got a swingin' gate|gait and some loose drawers That girlie's got a swingin' gate|gait and some loose drawers And when it comes to partyin' Don't even get me started She's lettin' 'em in the front and the back doors Met a man on the web who said, "Let's make a deal! Thought I'd seen it all, but girlie, you got appeal All you need's that birthday suit Pageant smile and them cowboy boots In no time at all you'll be rakin' 'em in for real! "What if everytime you came it was like 'K'CHING!' The world'd be your oyster each and every day! When push come down to shove It's easy street when you spread that love Sign right here you'll be on your way: no work! All play!" This ain't a fable with a moral, there ain't no use pretending But, fo' sure it's a story with a happy ending Don't you worry 'bout her future As a woman with a past 'Cuz at least she's keepin' herself in Brazilian Wax What if everytime you came it was like "K'CHING" Would any road you looked down be your getaway? Would all that f*ckin' money Be worth the price you pay 24/7 on display, all work, no play? Now, all that livin' while you're givin' gives society a big frown But if it's easy bein' sleazy why would you ever settle down? Teen, Vixen, Milf, Mature, then Grannie The gold mine 'tween her legs's uncanny If it was you you'd dig it 'til your 6-foot in the ground What if everytime you came it was like "K'CHING" Would the world be your delicious oyster each and every day? Would all the love and money be worth the price you pay To live a life where work is all play? FIVE-FOUR-THREE-TWO-ONE-K'CHING! © 2013 L. Litonjua, Mesabilly Recordings. All rights reserved.

Last night I had myself a good time Yeah, I guess I really tied one on And I done some things, I probably shouldn't have Yeah, I done some things I knew would piss you off Last night I had myself some problems I thought was gonna drink away Now I got something I gotta tell you But, darlin', it ain't easy to say Don't worry It's gonna be alright Don't you cry now I'll get it treated this time And in one week I'll be cured so dry your eyes It's just one week and then I'll surely ease your mind I'll get it treated this time I'll get it treated this time Last night, I had myself some whiskey I thought it might help wash my worries down Instead I find I've got a brand new set of 'em And they're so much worse than the ones I tried to drown Well I knew when you walked in somethin' was shady Ain't gonna pretend that I'm not hoppin' mad But I just got a text sayin' "Get your girl parts checked" Darlin' you ain't the only one that's been bad Don't worry It's gonna be alright Don't you cry now I'll get it treated this time And in one week I'll be cured so dry your eyes It's just one week and then I'll surely ease your mind I'll get it treated this time I'll get it treated this time © 2013 C.

Weird Shit 05:22
Free love and threeways Deep hips and wide lips Cheap chicks and one night stand Girls who wear glasses And girls with big asses Who do things I don't undertand I admit I'm a pervert With my fair share of issues And a list of things I adore But as time slips away All I can say Is there's something I love even more So I'll give up the weird shit for you I'll be tender and gentle and true I'll come home every night There's no need to fight 'Cuz your love is all I'll pursue There's a mountain of women Each night in my slumber Who wait for me in my dreams But when I awake Here in your arms It's your love that's all that I need Yes I gave up the nightlife In search of the right life To learn things I already knew That the flirting and laughter And emptiness after Will never be sweeter than you So I'll give up the weird shit for you I'll be tender and gentle and true I'll come home every night There's no need to fight 'Cuz your love is all I'll pursue Inverting crosses Affairs with my bosses Mushrooms and blunts and cocaine Whiskey for breakfast Hookups on Craigslist Lovers without a last name Chakras and Polarity Reichian Therapy A Landmark˝ seminar or two There was something I needed But now I'm completed I'll give up that weird shit for you So I'll give up the weird shit for you I'll be tender and gentle and true I'll come home every night There's no need to fight 'Cuz your love is all I'll pursue © 2013 J.

The winter has come and I'm leaving here I can't stand you anymore Well these short dark days and lonesome nights Man, they'd kill me for sure They'd kill me for sure I know they would I loved you before, but not anymore At least that's what I'm gonna say Though you hurt me so, you will never know And that's why I've gone away Grey skies and rain clouds is all you gave to me Even if I know that it's a lie And every time I say it the less true it seems But I don't want you anymore You're back at my door And I'm letting you in Love breaks you down Like nothing else could © 2013 C.

Lemoore 04:32
Lowdown and lonesome in a laundromat Lemoore, California I went looking for my darlin' I know I left her in there Now I don't know where she run off to this time Soon I'll be depraved and dejected and dyin' Of thirst in some dive Full of loose women and lifelong hard-luckers Just waitin' to die Now, when I came to this place I had two shirts And when I go, I suspect, I won't have one I'll pull up that familiar old bar stool Where I spent so much time Poppin' pills and blowin' my nose out Among the dregs and the swine I'm at home here I guess. I don't mind it Still these days go by too slow for you I guess Though I don't know when, I swear to god I will Soon I'll go somewhere, but right now it's nowhere I'm just here, I'm just here Lowdown and lonesome in Lemoore © 2013 C.

You asked about the songs we used to sing Like it's the only thing worth remembering I gotta say that ain't what comes to mind For me, its mostly sex and cheap French wine And wandering in the middle street Looking for some place to get high And make each other right In the city of lights, coated in grime Running out of time I wanted so badly to be right Believe me babe, I done my best, I tried I don't know what I'm gonna do I hope it ain't going home without you I wanted to stay by your side As long as I could You said I was no good Yeah, you made it pretty clear You didn't want me there You didn't want me near you A phone call from a friend far away Sleeping on the Metro, New Year’s Day I know it must've been pretty hard to watch Me rip apart everything I had If I could take it back I surely would I guess I misunderstood You said I was no good You made it pretty clear You didn't want me there You didn't want me near you © 2013 C.

Swore I'd 04:56
Young, dumb, headstrong and highstrung That could describe us those days We fought and we frolicked and both for good reason And now we've got nothing to say You were an island and I was a sailor I wept at the sight of your land And many ports later I still hold so dear The day my ship hit your sand See I was no different than most boys my age I talked to get into your jeans But now you can see that I'm not 23 I've returned to say what I mean I swore I'd remember to never forget you Told you I'd love you always But oh how the times have changed both of us But still I mean what I say Though love from the heart will fade Love from the soul will stay Young, dumb, insecure, out for fun Raised up on tabloids and reality TV But hard knocks and living, all those visits to prison Done made, eventually, a realist of me I thought you was a sailor, and I was your ocean No matter where you'd run to, the only thing for you was me But no amount of bitter tears could wash the wear from all these years Guess even sailors grow weary of wandering at sea But I swore I'd remember to never forget you Told you I'd love you always But oh how the times have changed both of us But still I mean what I say Though love from the heart will fade Love from the soul will stay © 2013 J.
