lyrics

Bells and Whistles

Used to have a mama picking up after me
Used to have a daddy but he's in eternity
Had friends and an old fashioned style Christmas family
Now there's nothing left but a money tree

(Chorus)
Bells and Whistles we think we've seen them all
Time to keep me moving slow and a steady crawl
Think I might get up top someday see the light
At the top of this heap is just a sun shining too bright

Open up my window let some mountain breeze come in
Let the rooms overflow with this wardrobe I'm strumming in
Which one looks best on me? I say that they all do
I just spent my soul to save this note I'll give to you

(Chorus)

Can't say I'm lonesome ain't got the blues these days
There's a crazy religion eating up this whole damn place
They're dropping like flies unless they dropped out of the race
Seems they got tired of picking up the pace

(Chorus)

Keep it simple ain't no way else to go
Some playthings ain't got no natural law eating at their souls
I'll be leaving not falling behind
I'll be living and all will be kind

(Chorus)

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
