Ry Cooder

(album: Gold Record - 2020)

Ry Cooder
He's a real straight shooter
Is that Ry Cooder?

So laid back and exact in his attack of the discipline
Like a cat I wonder what bag he's next going to get in

He's a real shapeshifter
Better Call Him Mister
Ooh, Mister Cooder?

English Rocker's all the money goes right up their nose
Or ride your smiles and tries to ignore the difficult yoga pose

He's a real straight spiner
Gold song 49er

He freed Cuba with a Buena Vista
Him and them, and it turned me on to old Kim Sinh
And remember those lakes he played on Chicken Skin

Now imagine him laying a part down right here where the song grows thin
Drawing all the listeners who tuned out right back in

He's a real sidekicker
And a mighty good leader
In and out of so many bags
A recent mandolin with bluegrass Ricky Skaggs
