lyrics

I don’t need no devil making me do no wrong
I can do it just fine all by myself
Who knew the blues could be so blonde,
Have legs so long, and eyes so blue?
Darling please believe me, this was not the way it seems
I swear I was not kissing her when she was kissing me

Heavens to Betsy,
What’s a poor farm boy to do?
Honky-Tonk Haiku.

When I took that library book and did not pay my fine
The road less travelled was not on my mind
When I took that wrong turn at the Stevens county line
Call me a victim of a neon sign.
Pretty women dancing in iambic time
The cadence of their footsteps falls in such a gentle rhyme.

Heavens to Betsy,
What’s a poor farm boy to do?
Honky-Tonk Haiku.


You be the picture of a light in the window
I’ll be the picture of a fool
You sit at home with your troubles and heartaches
While I’m having trouble getting off of this bar stool.
I am not drunk, I’m just thinking
That I am the mess I made, and that’s why I keep on drinking.

Heavens to Betsy,
What’s a poor farm boy to do?
Honky-Tonk Haiku.

The rich natural surroundings serve as a metaphor for exploring the landscapes of the heart and soul -- faith, family, love, the passage of time, and the interwoven fabric of earth and humanity. ... more
