The Truth

(album: Welcome To Dodge City - 2016)

Creedence saw a bad moon, Lauryn Hill sang "Everything"
Tina still rolling on the same dang river that Garth Brooks called a dream
Otis sat on the dock of the bay, Johnny Cash sang prison blues
BB King bent a couple of strings and Elvis wore "Blue Suede Shoes'
And that's the truth

Alan Jackson didn't have much to say
When they asked him 'bout the rainbow that he chased
"Get Your Freak On" Missy, 50's "In The Club"
We can all "Get Together" like the Youngbloods
Bob Marley shot the sheriff, Ray Charles hit the road
Saw the Allman Brothers tied to the "Whipping Post"
"Roxanne" called The Police, Shady killed "Stan"
Guess I'm riding out with Elton John to "Rocket Man"
I started out young body rocking the beat
Hardly met Hank Jr by the time I was three
When I saw my rowdy friends I knew I wanted to be
A country rap rocking backwoods MC
And roll black water 'cause it's in my veins
Johnny Cash, Stills and Nash, and "It's Your Thang"
A swig a "White Lightning" 'cause I love the taste
A little "Man in the Box" with the drop of "Amazing Grace"
I said hey pretty lady won't you give me a sign
Tony Hawk and the Clipse man I bent on my grind
I ate Korn went "Blind" and I bit my tongue
I got 99 problems but a b… ain't one
Garth Brooks drop hit after hit like Ike Turner
And my Pastor told me "We Ready" and "Vice Versa"
And that smell of wine and cheap perfume
It took me back on a journey that I couldn't refuse and that's the truth

Creedence saw a bad moon, Lauryn Hill sang "Everything"
Tina still rolling on the same dang river that Garth Brooks called a dream
Otis sat on the dock of the bay, Johnny Cash sang prison blues
BB King bent a couple of strings (Yeah) and Elvis wore "Blue (Hey) Suede Shoes"
And that's the truth

I'm feeling them "Good Vibrations" creeping down in my knees
I really love your peaches wanna shake your trees
And we can take it to the "Waters Edge" Seven Mary Three
Mr. Joe Walsh this "Life's Been Good" to me
Johnny said get rhythm when you get the blues
Bone Thugs said wake up I don't hit the snooze
I just sing about the journey like Willie on the road
I'm the wayward son that Kansas sang I suppose
'Cause I grind all day then work all night
And "Simple Man" is the soundtrack for my life
I took a "Stairway to Heaven" stopped at the gates
Heard Jerry Lee Lewis on them 88's
Do or Die invited me to ride in their Caddy
And OutKast and Youngbloodz say they waiting for daddy
I listen to everything up under the sun
Until I started marching to the beat of my own drum, it goes

Creedence saw a bad moon, Lauryn Hill sang "Everything"
Tina still rolling on the same dang river that Garth Brooks called a dream
Otis sat on the dock of the bay, Johnny Cash sang prison blues
BB King bent a couple of strings and Elvis wore "Blue Suede Shoes"
And that's the truth
