http://slimbawb.com/lyrics.html Slim Bawb: Lyrics Jannis' PHPRss class - http://www.jannis.to/ Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:38:22 -0800 http://slimbawb.com/lyrics.html/barcelona_rain from Slim Bawb's 2009 "Hillbilly Fellini"

Well I've been to Barcelona in the middle of the winter
Traveling with my lover to see the sights of Spain,
Though we made it to Madrid and the island of Maroka
I can still taste her kisses in the Barcelona rain
The nights go by so quickly in the hillside Spanish villa
Deep within in my heart her love forever shall remain
Those memories of her body lyin' there beside me
Pounding on the rooftop was the Barcelona rain

CHORUS
Ooh that rain, Barcelona rain, I still can taste her kisses
and the bottles of Champagne Ooh that rain, Barcelona rain
Sharin' on the beaches in the Barcelona rain

The lights of that big city sparkle like the diamonds
Wrapped around the crowns of gold kings of old had worn
The shadow of her candle, became an apparition
Beckoning the two of us to dance until the dawn
History often speaks about the Spanish inquisition
Matadors and Galleons full of gold doubloons
But her sweet lips of crimson, fueled my obsession for the perfect taste of passion, I found up in her room

REPEAT CHORUS

It sheltered us from the winds of change
It followed us all the way to Spain That spell we were under Became a world of wonder
Baptized in the water of the Barcelona rain

REPEAT CHORUS 2x

from Slim Bawb's 2009 "Hillbilly Fellini"
Shawna Day Music BMI

Lives in a trailer out on Black Jack road
With his dogs and his dedicated wife
Screened in front porch looks out over the land
Where they spend the time of their life
All day at the mill with his childhood friends
On a fork-lift workin' for his pay
Comes home at night, a six-pack of Bud-Light
And spends the end of another day

CHORUS
Out on Black Jack road
With the woman he loves and he knows that she knows
There's a world where time moves slow
Way out on Black Jack road
It's not really that far away & at sunset he knows everyday
He can go there and lighten his load, Way out on Black Jack road

He's worked for years through the dust and the tears
Through the cut-backs and lay-offs and strikes
Through the days when a man would follow a plan
And stick to it all of his his life
With his wife by his side And just enough time
to keep those wolves at bay
Gets home from the mill, pays him some bills
And spends the end of another day

REPEAT CHORUS

Still in a trailer out on Black Jack road
Still got some dogs and his wife by his side
When he thinks of the mill, He misses his old friends
On a blue moon they sometimes stop by
The one's that are left talk about who is gone
If they were here what would they say
As the sun starts to fade the bottles they raise & toast to the end of another day

REPEAT CHORUS

Shawna Day Music BMI

CHORUS
They call me the Bourbon cowboy
Cause I don't mess around with Scotch or Gin
In the Early times you could find me with Jack Daniel's
Or Ten High with ole' Jim Beam again

Some people say I'm down right crazy
When I get fired up and drunker then a skunk
But I never had no problem findin' ladies
Cause I pride myself on bein' a loveable drunk

I love to play guitar in sleazy dance halls
Drink Bourbon and Beer and try to drive my truck
Flirt with the woman and promise em' phone calls
And take em' home to meet my Mom

REPEAT CHORUS

I never made a livin' punchin cattle
But I have been known to fall of stools in bars
The ladies say I'm okay in the saddle
I'm an after hours Bourbon powered star

REPEAT CHORUS

Shawna Day Music BMI

I was born and raised smack dab in the city
Lots of noise and life & stress & strain
Left when I could and sure enough it sure feels good
When I go back it's still the same
I sure miss my friends and all my family
But the ties that bind they understand
Now I'm out in the sun workin' till the work is done
All I got to show is this damn farmer's tan

CHORUS
Farmers tan, farmers tan, ooh look at that farmers tan
Farmers tan, farmers tan, ooh look at that farmers tan
Farmers tan, farmers tan, ooh look at that farmers tan
Farmers tan, farmers tan, ooh look at that farmers tan

Up in the mornin' the chores are waitin'
Workin' on the land must be gods’ plan
If this is heaven there'll be no hesitating
I got my faith, my dogs and my farmers tan

REPEAT CHORUS

When the stars are clear and bright in that blue Texas sky
My baby come and take me by the hand
Take off my shirt and hat, what she laughin’ at?
She sure must love my farmers tan

Farmers tan, farmers tan, ooh she love my farmers tan
Farmers tan, farmers tan, ooh she love my farmers tan
Farmers tan, farmers tan, ooh she love my farmers tan
Farmers tan, farmers tan, ooh she love my farmers tan
Farmers tan, farmers tan

Shawna Day Music BMI

The sun rises early for a poor man
Sunset's the only relief from the wind and rain
Early to bad and early to rise, I got aches in my bones dust in my eyes

CHORUS
I've been a farmer for twenty-eight years
Blood on my handS and soil in my veins
I've known the heartache of empty tears
Now the tables are turned, & on my life it’ll rain

I've got two kids and a lovin' wife, and a beat up ole' shack we call home
I got the faith, since I saw the light, and I know that I'll never be alone

REPEAT CHORUS,FIRST VERSE, CHORUS AGAIN

Now the tables are turned & on my life it’ll rain
On my life it’ll rain

Hillbilly Fellini and his Fabulous Stump Grinders
are playin' down at the Stumble Inn
You best go see ”˜em play now, while you still can
They may not pass this way again
They got ole' pork-chop slappin’ on the gut bass
Sir Roy bangin' on the skins
Uncle Face on the fiddle, playin' Like his Momma taught him
He doubles up on the mandolin

CHORUS
First they play a two-step, Then they play a Cajun waltz
Then another country two-step, Then another Cajun waltz
If you don't dance it's your own fault

Hillbilly Fellini married to the singer he call her Sweet Marie
Plays an' ole rub board with some Voo-doo chicken bones
He picked up down in New Orleans
Ride in a mini van, haulin' an old trailer
Movin' up and down the south
Pull up to a tavern, look like a clown car
when they all come tumblin' out

REPEAT CHORUS

Hillbilly Fellini loves to wear them Mexican rasslin’ masks
You best go see him play now, while you still can
Cause they may not make it back

REPEAT CHORUS

Shawna Day Music BMI

I had a hard day at work once again, I couldn't do it right had to do it again
I had to stay late before I could go,
Now that's it's over I think that you know that

CHORUS
I need a beer, The reasons are clear,
I need a beer, Ice cold and right here
I need a beer, I need a beer

I headed on home but before I arrived,
My truck tire went flat and it was rainin' outside
I stood there all wet and pissed off & mean
I said to myself I know just what I need

REPEAT CHORUS
I need a beer, The reasons are clear,
I need a beer, Ice cold and right here
I need a beer, I need a beer

I finally arrived and to my surprise,
There were my things all sitin' outside
With a note on the door written in red
Tellin' me that it's over and she’d gone to bed

REPEAT CHORUS
I need a beer, The reasons are clear,
I need a beer, Ice cold and right here
I need a beer, I need a beer
I need a beer, please bring me a beer

Shawna Day Music BMI

Well the road less traveled is the road that I'm on
All I ever wanted was a little peace and calm
Something nice and simple some sweet serenity
”˜til got to Louisiana look what she did to me
Southern moon shinin' way up high
Gotta certain look baby in your eyes
Try to leave but you got me hypnotized

CHORUS
Don’t take me there I don’t wanna' go don’t take me there
I might never come home, don’t take me there, Louisiana

Well I travel best alone, that's what I’ve always found
I can’t stay too long, I always have to move around
So nice and easy, never too up or down
”˜Till I met you baby in that Louisiana town
Southern moon, gator in the swamp
You got a hook on me baby, I know I'm caught
I’d try to leave but you just make me stop

REPEAT CHORUS

I met a girl down on the bayou she told me how to eat crawfish
You gotta pinch the tail and suck the head haha

well my travelin' days I guess that they’re through
Every time I start to leave, I start I start thinkin' about you
The trains at the station and I'm sittin' on the track
I might go to Louisiana and never come back
Southern moon & a shotgun ceremony
Together forever but here there ain't no alimony
Tried to leave but her daddy told me

REPEAT CHORUS

Shawna Day Music BMI

Cousin Earl with the Jerry-curl want's to go get lit
Leave the baby with the old lady she love to baby sit
Go outside, check his ride low and sleek and slick
Miles Davis on the radio, sounding cool and hip

Well Lawyer Dan he had a plan, found somewhere to hide
Plead his case in another place don't need no suit and tie
In the quarter you judge yourself what is wrong or right
The only sentence that you receive is where to spend the night

CHORUS
No bar to far that's what I heard him say
Baby doll jump in the car, No bar to far, No bar to far, No bar to far

Well Lady Jane's there every night in her fancy fur
The only thing nobody knows is it him or is it her
In the quarter you judge yourself, take your own advice
Before you make that big mistake you best look twice

REPEAT CHORUS 2x

Shawna Day Music BMI

Whatcha gonna' do when the sun goes down
Everybody gone no one around?
No one comin' by your door that's all there is there ain't no more
Where you gonna go when the bartender calls last call for alcohol?
No one want to take you home, everybody gone you’re all alone
Where you gonna drive when the roads go down
creeks on the rise no one's in town?
Where you gonna' run when you’re stuck in the mud
Rain comin' down look like a flood

CHORUS
Maybe all you need is so close you can't see
It's waitin’ right around the bend
So come on in and let the healin’ begin
It’s a double wide, chicken fried, palace of sin

Where you gonna' go when your girl done gone
& no one else has come along?
No one to call you sweetie pie, no one to hold you close at night
Where you gonna' go when your girl done left
took you beer and your cigarettes?
Said when she came it was all phony
Now she wants some alimony

REPEAT CHORUS
“ “
It’s a double wide, chicken fried, palace of (2x)
It’s a double wide, chicken fried, palace of sin
