i de-sided
tonight
to give you all some light
yeah, it be one-sided
but it just be
Texas Blues
it may not be poetry
but it be Trues
it be Texas Blues

Willie & Waylon'
still sailin'
townes van zant
guy clark
hank 3
and others that be

it's their music
there where's my poetry be
me in motion
it just give's me a notion
an emotion

freddie fender
a sender
of "wasted day's & wasted night's"

just Texas Blues

just payin' my dues

johhny cash
wadn't from Texas

neither was Merle

nor John Prine

but it bring's to mind

Melbert Montgomery
Willie & waylon

we keep on sailin'

thru the blues

i could give you another one or two
who feel the TeaxsBlues

johnny bush
what'a rush

fiddlin'
& playin'
music in their own style

and all the while
i write poetry
about who they be

see...
it's just off the cuff
it's 'tuff stuff

bein' a poet
or a singer
from Texas
don't know it
or a real wing dinger

forget our ex's

just off the 'cuff

this is tuff' stuff
it's rough
it's tough

but
it's po0etry
just off the cuff

just a poem
to sing
