Parents and Family
Cut our wings y'all
To shut it down I can not fly
Cut my wings, y'all, shot me down, I cannot slay every single one.
When I lay my head down at night, I slowly cry.
Captain, how long must I stand your evil ways?
Captain, how long must I stand your evil ways?
Loated to death, one day I'll get out of here, gonna be your very last day.
Oh heaven, now.
Now, head on.
I thought I was eight years old.
My daddy played the piano, and then my mama kicked him out of the home.
Captain, how long must I stand your evil ways?
Before you got kicked out of here, you got someone to show me how to play the guitar.
Mostly I just play by myself on the street, you know.
It was fun for a while.
But the French girls did not like no one who had a beard, for real.
Oh yeah, now all the girls love me.
It's all wasted.
It's too late.
Oh, I got me, I'm married man, I've been married for 26 years. I don't know nothing to do with these women.
They love me now, see they know I'm safe.
We love you, we love you, but the minute I start chasing them they go, ah!
Get away from me old man, pervert.
No, it's all funny now, boy.
And all these girls screaming at me when I play and stuff like that, and I actually say to them,
you guys are so full of shit. If you saw me walking down the street, you'd go on the other side of the street
just to go look at that poor old bum over there.
But just because I'm up on the stage playing the guitar, all of a sudden I'm all good
and they just laugh at me, they don't care.
Shit, if I saw me on the stage, I'd love me too.
Like a teddy bear.
Let it go down, sing the doghouse song.
The doghouse.
The doghouse.
Doghouse, yeah.
Sing the doghouse song.
Yeah, my mama and daddy broke up when I was four years old.
When I was seven, she wouldn't have got herself another man.
Hell, y'all.
Before I was 14 years old, I figured I'd do it better on my own.
I just got it down there in Mississippi on my friend.
I just took it.
I paid him $75.
Sometimes it gets knocked up.
Sometimes it does go on cold at home.
So I never really had any school education.
What in the hell am I going to be able to do?
I always did pick on the guitar.
Put the hat out for the spare change.
I ain't getting no spare change.
Well, I don't know why I went wrong.
It ain't bad now.
I just going to keep playing my doghouse music.
Sing the doghouse song.
Yeah, it's going down.
Yeah, the hammer's out.
Yeah, it's going down.
Sing the doghouse song.
The doghouse.
The doghouse.
The doghouse.
The doghouse.
Sing the doghouse song.
Sing the doghouse song.
Sing the doghouse song.
Sing the doghouse song.
Yeah.
Sing the doghouse song.
I sing the dope house on me!
I sing the dope house on me!
I sing the dope house on me!
I sing the dope house on me!
I sing the dog!
Aaaaaaah!
Stated like me.
Make any money?
No!
I was going to say you know that day you threw the mic.
There's something wrong about this day.
It reminds me of bad old experiences.
Playing for free, everywhere.
I played and I also helped other people.
Played for other people like, you know, Sideman.
I just didn't think anybody wanted to hear me.
I wish I would have thought of it earlier.
I'm very old.
Bad luck to tell how old I am.
I don't want to die.
You know I went on this, it's called a blues cruise.
And they go from Norway to Denmark.
And everybody gets, they have some bands playing on it.
Somebody invited me to come.
Not to play, just to go on it.
And I don't do good on boat.
And I went on the boat and I was sick the whole night.
I listened to one band and the boat went like this one time.
I went down in the room and threw up from midnight to six in the morning.
Next morning I was dead, I was so dead.
And this guy came up to me and goes, you see 16.
There's no shit man.
So the name kind of hung on me like a bad stink.
I didn't choose it.
Oh, it was horrible.
I'm so tired in my feet.
Don't much like driving in cars.
Me, I prefer being in a bar.
Look at that.
It's okay being in Paris today.
It's a beautiful thing.
Because tonight I'm going to play.
Have mercy.
Now we're going to the radio.
And that'll be good enough for me.
Then I'm going to go home and take a nap.
Just a little nap.
Hide it whole.
Hide it whole.
Hide it whole.
Hide it whole.
Hide it whole.
Hide it whole.
What a surprise.
Am I a surprise?
Welcome, welcome to France & Fair.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Steve.
I'm Valley.
Valley also all good, Valley?
Yeah, Valley, Valley girl.
Valley girl.
It's all good, Valley girl.
Wow, this is great.
Yeah.
How did it go at the time of Darrell?
What was that?
Was that where the big fountains are?
Yep.
Yeah, that's amazing, man.
Especially from up there where, you know,
you see all those, all that fancy fountains with all them,
it looked like Rome or something up there, you know.
Yeah, it's all good.
Rome, Mississippi.
Oh, that was real nice.
