lyrics

Beatnik Rodeo
©Kevin Fisher

I was born in the country then I brought myself out west
The gold and the glitter caught my eye
So I packed my truck with cowboy boots and bible in my vest
I knew that I could make it if I try

But then I got caught in crossfire in a rockin’ hard place
It was war out there and I just didn’t know
So I gave my heart to heaven, put the devil in his place
And an angel said exactly where to go

To the Beatnik Rodeo
The Beatnik Rodeo

Well I got out my old six sting and with a fiddler friend of mine
We swore we’d take that city by surprise
With bass and drums and loud guitar we sounded mighty fine
We knew we’d smack them right between the eyes
By the time we hit the rodeo they were lining up all night
And the fiddle player turned to me and said
If someone struck a match right now the whole place would ignite
But I’d rather die right than in my bed

At the Beatnik Rodeo
The Beatnik Rodeo

The camera crew was rockin’ to and two step country beat
And the press put down their pens in disbelief
And when someone called the cops, man, the whole place stomped their feet
When the bar tab was picked up by the chief

Naked To The World Los Angeles, California

We tried to break up. But there must be some quantum time-shift or random wormhole that forces us to slide back into perpetual existence. We started in 1993, garnered some accolades, released 5 CDs, toured the U.S., had our songs cut by major artists, and garnered a bit of commercial airplay ourselves. We are grateful for everyone who has ever come to one of our shows and enjoyed our music. ... more
