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

his Life Amanda left Me
c. '20 Vlayman
Me and Amanda, we had us a band
We called ourselves the Heartbreak Twins
we played every gig we could fit in
Seemed to be all we did
CH 1
Along with alla the boozin' and druggin'
we never seemed to have no time
The melodies was as important as making things rhyme
And we didn't really work on the lovin'
we didn't reallly work on the lovin'
Was a man in some little town outside Chicago
Said he thought the songs was good enough
He said I looked a star but Amanda looked rough
I didn't know he told her so
So I signed some papers there at the bar
Figured I could bring Amanda along
I knew I would, cause we wrote the songs
It was just me who looked a star
CH2
Along with alla the boozin' and druggin'
we never seemed to have no time
The melodies was as important as making things rhyme
And we didn't really work on the lovin'
we didn't reallly work on the lovin'
what we spent our time workin' on turned out to be nothin'
we didn't reallly work on the lovin'
Now I'm giggin' pretty regular, got my own bus
Gotta drummer and bass and gutars
Got a fiddle player to the stars
But I wish I had Amanda to back me up
Now I'm giggin' pretty regular, got my own bus
Gotta drummer and bass and gutars
Got a fiddle player to the stars
But I wish I had Amanda to back me up
CH3
Along with alla the boozin' and druggin'
we never seemed to have no time
The melodies was as important as making things rhyme
And we didn't really work on the lovin'
we didn't reallly work on the lovin'
what we spent our time workin' on turned out to be nothin'
And now I got the money and the copyrights
And Amanda, she left me this life

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

I Had to Ride
c. '20 Vayman
My daddy gimme a truck one time
He said he didn't need it no more
It wasn't like he was too sick or dyin'
Said he just wasn't drivin' no more
And the truck it wasn't no Chevy or Ford
It was a big ol' black Dodge with a V8 inside
And the air didn't work but it was fast as hell
And I know he was just bein' kind
Man, did I have to ride
My sister she gimme a ol' cracked handle pistol
She was sure I'd be leavin' soon
she also gimme a half box of ammo
suggested I be gone by noon
Man, did I have to ride
And my momma she gimme a guitar at that time
wasn't no Fender or Gibson
was a just a old Yamaha with finish crack lines
She said, I want you to have this son
Man, did I have to ride
So ride I did ove a cuppla states
And now i been here quite a while
I got me a wife and even a kid
If they knew, my folks would smile
Man, did I have to ride

Hey-hey-hey

You wear the crown
Oh-oh-oh

Hear that wailing sound

The folks cryin
You wear the crown
My-my-my
We ain't like what's goin down

You wear the crown
Well-well-well
Why you come around
How long you gonna stay?
Please go away
You wear the crown
B-b-bye
And take your friend the orange clown
Please take him along
I hate this fuckin' song
You wear the crown
Yeah, by-by-bye
Time to go to ground
Get on outta reach
Drink the chlorine bleach
You wear the crown

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.
