Here's the song: <BR/><BR/>http://marahvideos.spam.com/2007/02/formula-cola-dollar-draft.html <BR/><BR/>"Formula Cola, Dollar Draft" by Marah <BR/><BR/>There was a time when I didn't talk <BR/>I'd look away, or I'd shrug it off <BR/>Turn it out or turn it off <BR/>Or say something short and soft <BR/>Out of school I took a J-O-B <BR/>Makin' buttons in a factory <BR/>Thinking what does life got in for me? <BR/>And I didn't wanna know <BR/>In a city full of double deals <BR/>My boss would yawn and roll back on his heels <BR/>Like anyone could cop a feel of lady luck <BR/>I was made with my brother Bill <BR/>Drinking Muskie Moons on top of Laurel Hill <BR/>It's funny now I'd cheek a poison pill to sober up <BR/>And no two-bit claim of I'm all right <BR/>Is gonna turn around and make it right <BR/>So I'm fishing in my pocket for a light <BR/>And I'm standin' on the corner on a Saturday night <BR/>I seen pigeons flap their filthy wings <BR/>To a freezing sunset in the west <BR/>Rain shit down from their haunted perch <BR/>In the bells above St. Someone's church <BR/>The Sexton drinks and dreams in bed <BR/>One eye in a line of light <BR/>Startled by a ghost he screams his dead <BR/>Wife's name into the night <BR/>Which echoes down a cobbled hall <BR/>Bounces off a gray stone floor <BR/>Fired down a line of stairs <BR/>Where it's silenced by a door <BR/>Beyond which I am leaning, leaning <BR/>Watching cars and dreaming <BR/>As steam rose 'round my body <BR/>Like my soul up to the stars <BR/>I guess the devil's had his way with town <BR/>No what Willie is in the ground <BR/>And I guess the devil made me this <BR/>When he gave me no one I can't resist <BR/>I got the bill today <BR/>Wrote back I moved away <BR/>They called me up to say <BR/>I'm still here <BR/>So on the 5th day of the 5th month <BR/>At 5 o'clock in the dawn <BR/>I rolled myself in a T-O-P <BR/>And jumped out on Highway One <BR/>With a 400 engine hot as a cremation coffin <BR/>And a tailgate bangin' like an airplane wing <BR/>I was rollin' on the highway doing it my way <BR/>Whistling "Someday" and singing this song <BR/><BR/>I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes <BR/>Concerning the Great Speckled Bird <BR/>I didn't know God made Honky-Tonk Angels <BR/>And went back to the Wild Side of Life <BR/>----------------- <BR/>I did some checking about the song at the end of this that Serge sings, and it turns out was a hit in 1952 for Kitty Wells called "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels." This is also referenced at the end of David Allen Coe's song "If That Ain't Country" <BR/><BR/>So now I need to buy some Kitty Wells and David Allen Coe stuff. It never ends... <BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Wasn't_God_Who_Made_Honky_Tonk_AngelsDavid Henselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445269399229698920noreply@blogger.com
