My Auntie Mabel
1953
Left her Minnesota dirt farm to see what she could see
in a letter to her mother telling her what she enjoyed
said there's nothing in the whole wide world like a city boy
1987
Took Daddy's Cadillac
I drove it to Chicago, never brought it back
Well all these years later, I'm still unemployed
Oh well there's nothing in the whole wide world like a city boy
My granddaddy had long grey hair
silver cane and a rocking chair
tapped that cane on a wooden floor
saying "take what you're given, and then ask for more"
Well now, baby, what do you think of that
Can you make a woman out of an alley cat
Can you take the agitation and not get annoyed
Oh well there's nothing in the whole wide world like a city boy
Now my Auntie Mabel, she plays the dominoes
way down South where the yucca plant grows
drinking whiskey out of Coca-Cola bottles, smoking Viceroys
Still swears there's nothing in the whole wide world like a city boy
Those city boys

  • 23rd Street Lullaby
    "Underneath the swirling light of jasmine tea and smoke
    you traced my face up on the barroom wall
    and you tried to intimidate me as you drank your drinks and joked
    saying it takes more than clean hands to catch angels when they fall..."

    If two hands protect that light
    Against the change of time..."

    Don't talk me up so sweet
    Baby don't dress me in your kisses
    When they're not mine to keep..."

    When I was weak under your spell
    When I feel thirsty you would not let me
    Take water from your well..."

    "You know I got a string of kisses
    Tattooed down my arm

    he?s drunk on cheap wine
    he?s got a monkey wrench in his hand
    saying he?ll be prepared next time..."

    "From the first time that I saw you
    I wanted nothing but to make you mine
    Now there's this girl with milk white hands
    And on her finger your wedding band shines..."

    "So all that loneliness for a moment is through
    and now it?s going to take time
    to find some faith for you
    you?ve got a history of crash landings..."
