Vicious – Studio Version

Vicious

fullsizeoutput_1a0

My wife gave me a gift certificate for some studio time. I went into the studio with Dave Duce on bass and Gil Crowell on drums.

I’ve got the version I did at home, and the version I did in the studio. Let me know which one you like better.  They are in different keys because I didn’t bother to check the tuning on my uke before I started the home version.  I was more fastidious when I did the studio version.

Woman I Can Trust

I have a wonderful wife.

You know she is dependable
She’ll never be on time
She’ll do just what she says she will
If it don’t slip her mind
But I know that I can trust her
With all that matters most
And I’m glad my tender heart is in her hands

I’m headed off to work again
My cloths a wrinkled mess
“At least I got them washed”
She says, in her old wrinkled dress
But never have to wonder
If the kids get what they need
And I’m glad my tender heart is in her hands

Chorus
I know that her heart is as big as a mountain
Her love is deeper than the sea
And I want nothing more than to stay here beside her
And she wants to stay here with me

Well I’ll never make a fortune
Hell, I hardly make a dime
I’d give her what she wanted
But all I’ve got is time
But she never asks for nothing
At least, nothin she don’t need
And I’m glad my tender heart is in her hands

Chorus

Ain’t Hay

This is FARM PUNK!!!

Played by my band Thumper and Smash.  Thumper on bass, Smash on Drums.  Everyone gets some vocals in there.  And here’s where you learn that I am no lead guitar player.

America

©2012 Stephen G Brown

Tell me what is America
Is it baseball and apple pie?
Is it guns, guts and glory?
Go team, go

Tell me what is America
Is it burgers and icecream?
Big cars and big houses?
And bigger loans

Thought I knew you
But I was wrong

Tell me what is America
Is it Christmas with snowmen?
Is it Easter with Honey Ham?
And Halloween

Tell me what is America
Is farmers and factories?
Is it where all men live most free
Or is that Amsterdam?

Thought I knew you
But I was wrong
