lyrics

Pull a Jelly Roll rag from an old, junky sax
And all the world’s trouble from a brown paper sack.
High as a Bird, stubborn as a mule,
Sky’s hell on a pilot, rain’s hard on a fool.
When Gabriel blows his horn, he’ll blow right back.

Going all the way to L.A. racing fever on a train.
You can’t go home you’re playing alto in the rain.
Shoeshine boy will fix you up for a tune,
Blowing dents out the brass, crazy as a loon.
Moose is cooking up in the shower drain.

Poking at the cabbage in the California sand.
You’re tapping your slippers to the hospital band.
Pull along the pasture, flat fifths at a heifer,
Get me Kansas City, I never should’ve left her.
Sweet dreams of Minton’s and a fat roll in my hand.

Pull a “Pineapple Rag” from an old, junky sax
And all the world’s glory from a record sleeve, Jack.
Shake a little salt between the heart and the bone,
Listen to that Bird calling me home.

D.T. Buffkin San Antonio, Texas

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."
