This one’s for Lisa Lionheart…

February 23, 2006 in Quotes by Ben

Turns out I do have something to post, after all. Inspired by the lovely and talented Mir…

I see you looking and I know what you think
You’re getting braver with every drink but
I am telling you something you need to know

She may look like a sweet young thing
Talking to him but she ain’t hearing a thing
If you were smart you’d turn around and let her go

That girls’ a Barbie doll
A Barbie doll
She’s real good-looking but she’s got no heart at all

She puts on her makeup and drives to the bar in her
Boyfriend’s old man’s brand-new car
She’s got no idea what she does or why

She does whatever she wants I guess
Whatever comes first or whatever looks best
Nobody I know has ever seen her cry

That girls’ a Barbie doll
A Barbie doll
She’s real good-looking but she’s got no sense at allThat girls’ a Barbie doll
A Barbie doll
She’s real good-looking but she’s got no heart at all

You should have seen her last Saturday night
She had a friend of mine treating her right
She was hanging on him until she found a better deal

You should have seen how cold she got
My buddy asked why and she said why not
Nobody I know swears she’s even real

That girls’ a Barbie doll
A Barbie doll
She’s real good-looking but she’s got no heart at all

(song – Barbie Doll, by Jack Ingram and Todd Snider)

I don’t think that word means what you think it means

February 3, 2006 in Music by Ben

Dang this sun, dang this day
I’m just trying to stay out of your danged old way
To heck with this, to heck with us
Shoot if I’ll ever look back on where I’ve been
Shoot if I’ll ever give away my heart again

Love you, love this town
Love this mother-lovin’ truck that keeps breakin’ lovin’ down
There’s only one four-letter word that’ll do
Love you

Love your cat, love this house
Well I can’t believe myself that I’m lovin’ gettin’ out
Love talkin’, love fightin’
The thought of never seein’ your lovin’ face
There’s some words that some words just have to replace

Love you, love this town
Yeah I’m sick and lovin’ tired of all your lovin’ around
There’s only one four-letter word that’ll do
Love you

New Jack Ingram tune. Love it.

Happy Happy, Day 2

September 21, 2005 in Quotes by Ben

yet another Jack Ingram tune. The dude knows me, or somethin’

Happy happy, country, country
Somethin’ snappy Somethin’ funny
Make ‘em laugh, make ‘em have a good time
Don’t make ‘em lonely cause it makes ‘em cry
Just give ‘em happy, happy, country, country
That’s what they want, man to feel that funky
Happy country music’s gonna make ‘em think everything
Is gonna be all right

So many people feelin afraid
It looks like everybody’s got it made
So many others feelin’ alone
Got no one to love ‘em when they get home

They go to the bar to get away
From all the problems of everyday
Don’t need another tear in my beer
I got enough problems, don’t breing them here

Give em..Happy happy, country, country
Somethin’ snappy Somethin’ funny
Make ‘em laugh, make ‘em have a good time
Don’t make ‘em lonely cause it makes ‘em cry
Just give ‘em happy, happy, country, country
That’s what they want, man to feel that funky
Happy country music’s gonna make ‘em think everything
Is gonna be all right

Happiness and love that’s lost
We all want it and we pay the cost
But tonight let me get away
And talkin’ to the people, the people say

Happy happy, country, country
Somethin’ snappy Somethin’ funny
Make ‘em laugh, make ‘em have a good time
Don’t make ‘em lonely cause it makes ‘em cry
Just give ‘em happy, happy, country, country
That’s what they want, man to feel that funky
Happy country music’s gonna make ‘em think everything
Is gonna be all right

Keepin’ on

September 15, 2005 in Quotes by Ben

Some days you wonder what it all means
Some nights ain’t as bad as it seems
Sometimes you think you been had
Run yourself ragged in a world gone mad

Keep on, keep on keepin’ on
Push it on down the road
Keep on, keep on keepin’ on
Still got a ways to go

Keep on, keep on keepin’ on
Push it on down the line
Keep on, keep on keepin’ on
Keep from gettin’ further behind

- Jack
