Ok! So my song for today is written by this Guy (!! I'm on fire!) whose album was bought by my father a good ten or so years ago and I've enjoyed quite a bit ever since. Guy Clark focuses on acoustic guitar and vocals although he sometimes incorporates violin (I think?) and a bit of drums when he feels like it. A good country album!
Lyrics are pretty rad too. Check them and the youtube clip out after the break.
I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlour Bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are
But here I sit in Dublin
Just rollin' cigarettes
Holdin' back and chokin' back
The shakes with every breath
Forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinkin' what I thought
I loved you from the git go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbye
I am just a poor boy
Work's my middle name
If money was a reason
I would not be the same
I'll stand up and be counted
I'll face up to the truth
I'll walk away from trouble
But I can't walk away from you
I have been to Fort Worth
I have been to Spain
I have been to proud
To come in out of the rain
I have seen the David
I've seen the Mona Lisa too
I have heard Doc Watson
Play Columbus Stockade Blues
