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

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.
