about

This one is based on the ninth story from Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find and Other Stories collection, "Good Country People." This is surely my least favorite of the tunes I've written so far for this project, but a simple, sassy, bluesy tune seemed to fit the bill, so ...

lyrics

you take these
simple kinds of people
you think they’d
learn a thing or two
and if you lowball me
might be the death of you

Got me a
Pocket flask of whiskey
Got me a
dirty pack of cards
Bet you’re the kinda girl
Won’t waste my time tonight

Look at me, ma
on a winning streak
I’m as good as you any
day of the week
thought you might be
of an open-mind
but you froze up good
when you realized it takes all kinds

you spent your years
inside a classroom
only to find the lion’s thorn
hell, I believed in nothing
the day that I was born

Looks like I’m
Leaving empty-handed
But I’ll take a
Sorry souvenir
And you won’t see my face
Or hear my name ‘round here

Look at me, ma
on a winning streak
I’m as good as you any
day of the week
thought you might be
of an open-mind
but you froze up good
when you realized it takes all kinds

Nothing is perfect; that’s life
Other people have their opinions
It takes all kinds to make the world go round
I’ve always said so

Look at me, ma
on a winning streak
I’m as good as you any
day of the week
thought you might be
of an open-mind
but you froze up good
when you realized it takes all kinds
