I Cain't Get Over You, So You'll Have to Answer the Phone
Drop Kick Me Jesus Through the Goalpost of Life

[boombloom]

Get off the stove--you're too old to ride the range.

[Damon Rondeau]

Not a title, but one of my fav-o-right country lyrics of all time is from Hank's "Dear John" (with the band doing the bracketed line gangland style):

That's all she wrote
(Dear John)
They sent your saddle home

Along with "Drop Kick", don't forget Kinky's other classic:

They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore

[Marcus Johnson]

Lyrics? Here's a couple from fellow Maui boy Kris Kristofferson; variations on a theme.

I woke up next morning feelin' like my head was gone
And like my thick old tongue was lickin' somethin' sick and wrong


That's pretty good; I like this one even better;

Well I woke up Sunday mornin' with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert


Something tells me Kris ain't making this s**t up.

[mchildree]

Some of my favorites:

"You got knocked up, and I got locked up..you could say we both got screwed"

"If bruises show your love, then your love sure shows up on me"

"I'm my own Grandpa"

...and finally, one I'm in the process of writing:

"I Can't Yodel If It's Modal" (wonder if the bluegrassers will get it?)

[Chris Fitzgerald]

"How Can I Respect You in the Morning When I Don't Respect You Now?"

[tsolo]

You Broke My Heart So, I Broke Your Jaw

You Ain't Much Fun Since I Quit Drinking

[Chasarms]

I think you are right. I absolutely admire his lyrics. The complete song that you quoted is an all-time fav. For those less "refined" here the whole thing:

Well I woke up Sunday morning
with no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt
and the beer I had for breakfast
wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert

Then I fumble through my closet for
my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
and I shaved my face and combed my hair
and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

I'd smoked my brain the night before
and cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin'
but I lit my first and watched a small kid
cussin' at a can that he was kicking

Then I crossed the empty street and caught
the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
and it took me back to somethin' that
I'd lost somehow somewhere along away

On a Sunday mornin' sidewalks
wishing Lord that I was stoned
'cause there is something in a Sunday
that makes a body feel alone

And there's nothin' short of dyin'
half as lonesome as the sound
on the sleepin' city side walks
Sunday mornin' comin' down

In the park I saw a daddy with
a laughing little girl who he was swingin'
and I stopped beside a Sunday school
and listened to the song that they were singin'

Then I headed back for home and
somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
and it echoed though the canyon like
the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

- Kris Kristofferson

I see him every now and then, he lives in Hana, further up the windward coast from my place. I look at that face and think, catcher's mitt. Great songwriter.

Its hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your a$$ out all day long...
