The Logical Place c. '20 Vlayman In the garage I found them ol' jeans I used to wear Them ones was shot at the knees They still got the torn pockets And the stains from the u-joint gease Hey-hey, I put 'em away, in the only logical place Under the bed I found a torn concert T I remember the show that we saw I remember when you bought it for me Baby, I remember it all Hey-hey, I put it away, in the only logical place In the back of the closet when I was lookin' for a gun I came across them ol' boots and they scared me straight They was the ones I wore to run from robbin' the gas station Before you told me you hate me Hey-hey, I put 'em away, in the only logical place And then there was that wedding ring It weren't from no Cracker Jackin' Box of fun I really hoped it would be a more permanent thing For all the good that done Hey-hey, I put it away, in the only logical place Martin-C1000S-R16-L Martin-Trion8000-R16-Rt Voc: Trion8000-R16

Cannot c. '20 Vlayman So many things that I can do I can peel an orange with my thumb I can run as fast as the wind, yeah I really can run And there's so many things I can do I can drive backwards at speed I can jump out airplanes if I gotta I'm hopin' there won't be no need Well, there's so many things I can do I can charm my way into a girl's heart She'll pay for dinner and all my drinks And cry the next mornin' we part Bridge Cuz' there's so many things I can do I can write me a song over a beer Or a cuppa coffee and a sammich Just like I wrote this one here For there's so many things I can do I can conjure up all kinds of memories I can feel you beside me in the slow fallin' rain I feel you keep on a-holdn' me Yeah, there's so many things I can do I can taste you still on my fingers I can spend all my time cryin' 'bout you And wonderin' why the pain still lingers As there's so many things I can do There's some things I just would stop Like lovin' you and cryin' over you Those are things I cannot Martin-C1000S-R16-L Martin-Trion8000-R16-Rt Voc: Trion8000-R16

about

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois

Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
