Name: Twenty Dollar Flat Footer
Duration: P00H02M21S
Description: This tune was inspired by some combination of Tom Waits and Lou Reed, because the smoky haze in East Tennessee this weekend did some fun things to my voice, so I thought it might be best to just roll with it. Speaking of rolling with it, if you listen closely, you can also hear the only nylon D-string in the house snap on the last chorus.

lyrics

She started wavin like a church fan
Tappin her feet
We got a twenty dollar flat footer
Down on Main Street

You better belt out that song
You better lay down that beat
She come from Mule Barn Alley
And she's bringin the heat

Her daddy was a fiddler
And her momma played banjo
But she knew early on
That she was here for the dancin

Got that buck step, chicken scratch
Cornmeal on wood
Foot stompin, toe tappin
Fancy foot

She got that buck step, chicken scratch
Cornmeal on wood
Foot stompin, toe tappin
Fancy foot

She's raisin up the dead
In the Appalachian hills
And fillin up a pickle jar
With twenty dollar bills

You'll see her wavin like a church fan
Tappin her feet
She's the twenty dollar flat footer
Down on Main Street

You better belt out that song
You better lay down that beat
She come from Mule Barn Alley
And she's bringing the heat

She got that buck step, chicken scratch
Cornmeal on wood
Foot stompin, toe tappin
Fancy foot

She's got that buck step, chicken scratch
Cornmeal on wood
Foot stompin, toe tappin
Fancy foot

Foot stompin, toe tappin
Fancy foot
