about

First single off of "Tattooed Rose"

lyrics

As every man jockeys for a better view than a horse’s ass,
So, too, a better man sends his steed into the grass.
And when there’s nothing to keep a good man safe,
I stand at the county line and wait.

Throw some Circus Roses round my neck,
Mount my head on a pretty girl’s rack.
I’d sell my Mama’s kisses for a better view down at the track.
And when there’s nothing to keep a poor boy safe,
I stand at the county line and wait.

Daughter says to her Mama,
“I love you, but you’ve got no class.”
Mama blows a smoke ring says,
“Baby, you can kiss my ass.”
And when there’s nothing to keep a good man safe,
I stand at the county line and wait.

Mama, wake me early in the morning.
I’m chasing that moon, gotta get home soon,
I got a letter from my darling.

Politician wants your vote,
That preacher man wants your pay.
I’m still waiting for that sweet salvation my Mama put on layaway.
And when there’s nothing to keep a poor boy safe,
I stand at the county line and wave.

On that upscale side of town,
They’re locked in behind gates of greed.
My broke ass grass is just as green,
My honey’s honey is twice as sweet.
And when there’s nothing to keep a good man safe,
I stand at the county line and wave.

Mama, wake me early in the morning.
I’m chasing that moon, gotta get home soon,
I got a letter from my darling.

Somewhere between the AM country of yesteryear, the high and lonesome willow-whine of the ferociously stoned cosmic cowboy and the horny, rambunctiousness of '70s Brit-blues-rock resides D.T. Buffkin and his "honky tonk 'n' roll."
