about

Went to see a bit of the Cowboy Mouth show the other night; didn't manage to catch any of their set, but I had something fun and rocking and bluesy and NOLA on my mind. Then I started thinking about the Band's version of "Baby Don't Ya Do It." Then I spent all afternoon today gigging at a winery and then came home and gathered what was left of my wits and put this together.

lyrics

She bought a one-way ticket to a
Faraway land and she done gone now
No one saw it coming but she
Lost the will to carry on now
Nobody gets a free ride
But she’s taken what she’s given

and she’s gone worldwide now
a one-way ticket to a
Faraway land, she’s gone

They play the smallest fiddle when you’re
Stuck up in the middle of a firestorm
They smack your skinned-up knuckles every
Time you’re trying to take it somewhere freeform
Take all those tears you cried
pour ‘em in the stream at the riverside
They play the smallest fiddle when you’re
Stuck up in the middle of a firestorm

It’s like a song got sung
In a sentimental way
A tin roof on a rainy day
You placed your bets on black
You look good in gunnysack
Tin roof on a rainy day

They sent the top-shelf hounds
They’re listening for the sounds of the stowaways
You tried to cover your tracks
With the dust and sealing wax
Send ‘em sideways
Shower your love with grace

but always tell your story

with a poker face
They sent the top-shelf hounds
They’re listening for the sounds of the stowaways

She bought a one-way ticket to a
Faraway land and she done gone now
No one saw it coming but she
Lost the will to carry on now
Nobody gets a free ride
But she’s taken what she’s given

and she’s gone worldwide now
a one-way ticket to a
Faraway land, she’s gone

It’s like a song got sung
In a sentimental way
A tin roof on a rainy day
You placed your bets on black
You look good in gunnysack
Tin roof on a rainy day
