(Here's my traditional "killer imsomniac New Years kickoff write that gets you bouncing"! Happy Belated New Year, y'all!)



All Y’all
By: Noah Eaton
1/1/04

All y’all
All y’all

Hey, you done gone and got Yankee rich,
but you’re plumb tuckered out, ain’t caught the big fish
You’re purty as a speckled pup,
but you don’t feel snug like a bug in the livin’ room rug
Will you make it, who can tell?
But some may say you had not a snow ball’s chance in hell
You were pampered, your heart was bottled
Night wranglers, time to get molly-coddled to the throttle

All y’all,
All y’all

Hey y’all, pull a plank off the wall,
but don’t go back on your raisin or the whole fence falls
Everyone loves you, why should they not, but that can be a crisis,
when the tornado blindsides the trailer catawampus
And when the passion hits, don’t go searchin’ for the elephant,
cuz it may be the tip of the aardvark you begin to hint
Then you get too big for your own britches and start playin’ possum,
right when the May flowers begin to blossom!
Yeens better join me now!

All y’all
All y’all

Yeah, so, what’s it to you,
when it all plays a joke on you?
Tarred and feathered?
That’s how I’ve pictured it.
So, again, what’s it to you,
when it all plays a joke on you?
Tarred and feathered?
You’re darn-tootin’!
Heck yeah, and when the steel guitar squeals,
how should you feel?
Sorry as a two dollar watch!
That’s how I deal

Now you’re on the trolley,
now you’re on the trolley,
now you’re on the trolley,

Sit back and bide your time,
with a glass of Country Time,
then when it comes back limber as a dishrag,
press your luck and hop on that J. Hunt

All y’all
All y’all

Y’all skedaddle now!


"You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20

love it Noah,
everything you write has a tune to it
and a rythm that sticks.

Always, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.
