Lyrics:
and zydeco bands
I'm like B-side Townes Van Zandt
I'm always speaking my mind
When I'm better off biting my tongue
I'm a bad joke at the wrong time
Hell,
the Old Quarter's had Townes Van Zandt for five nights
We have him for one more night and we're glad to have him here tonight.
Townes Van Zandt.
tight-rope-walker who called herself the queen of Poughkeepsie
Who ran away from the circus with some roustabout redneck gypsy
They were Townes Van Zandt fans
By Townes Van Zandt
I'll play upon my violin
Until the mountains ring
Of lonely laughter blindly thrown
And cause an endless sark of strings
You said "hey play some Townes Van Zandt" and smiled and changed the tune
To a soft sweet folk song written on the highway 'neath the moon
For if I
hat and silver skates
Jugglin' three collection plates Jesus Christ
Townes Van Zandt standin' at the bar
Skinnin' a Hollywood movie star
Can't
the Kid
With Johnny, Waylon, you and Kris
The Highwaymen just couldn't miss
Then for Townes Van Zandt, singin’ that ’Marie'
Like the slyist fox that's
the edges
But he sang just like a bird
So we wrote some songs in Hollywood
And made a record no one heard
Turn em up and dim the lights
Hes gonna take us for
and roll
Lada dada dada dada deeda doe.
I'd like to thank the really late Blaze Foley for the melody line
Townes Van Zandt, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams,
Texas ain't hardly fair.
Being from Texas aint hardly fair.
Well, there's Willie, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Blaze, too
cnd Billy Joe Shaver wrote
you said was so positively good for you?
And the Townes Van Zandt records that you were looking for
did you find them at last?
You always did have tons
Life without Susanna started when Townes Van Zandt died
From that day on she hid out undercover
Her Percocet and cigarette along for the ride
and whisky, passing hand to hand
Rhymes reach deep, styles advanced
It's like Townes Van Zandt meets the Wu Tang Clan
God damn. Everybody here got skills
Wallace, Bear Bryant, and Ronnie Van Zandt.
Now, Ronnie Van Zandt wasn't from Alabama, he was from Florida.
He was a huge Neil Young fan.
But, in
Townes Van Zandt would have told you
You better keep that music clean
I like to hear that outlaw country
Like o'l David Allan Coe
Hear some music with
loud
Daddy was a rockstar ridin' on a tractor, listenin' to Townes Van Zandt
I was five years old with a hairbrush microphone, growin' up in Radioland
Zandt's songs
Something about Mudd and Gold a-gamblin'
But I'm still walking down the lost highway
Doing what it takes to make my way
Knowing that I got
at least half alright
Sitting on the porch playing Townes Van Zandt play guitar to burn off the hours
'Til we climb the fences at the edge of town
friends Fit's
Of Depression to play with us
At The Seattle Coliseum
Or playing with Poison Idea at a No On Nine
Benefit in Portland organzied by
Gus Van
rant and recant
If I put on any records
It’ll be Townes Van Zandt
Cause tonight, you can’t make me dance
Ain’t gonna go to no club
Under no circumstance
damned up songs
And I can't hardly bring myself to go out anymore
Give me something real, won't you give me something from your heart
Give me Townes Van
half alright
Sitting on the porch playing Townes Van Zandt play guitar to burn off the hours
Till we climb the fences at the edge of town and paint our
Townes Van Zandt took a hold of my hand
So I wouldn't feel alone
I just can't feel alone
It could be a creation of my own
So I don't feel so alone
I
En sexa gin och lite högre gitarr
Det är egentligen allt jag behöver
En mörkrostad slät och en Townes van Zandt-sång
Det är egentligen allt jag vill
