	Story Behind the Song The collection of songs on this page were recorded either on 4-track or computer with cheap mics, a rather chipped acoustic guitar and occasional accompaniement programmed/played on a SW60-XG soundcard. The tunes grew out of trying to develop my picking style on guitar. The words were explorations of things that were in my thoughts at the time, hence the variety (not to mention the usual songwriter fixation with love and death). Up to now only friends have heard this stuff.Thanks to Lynda for encouraging me to go public. I hope you find something here you love or hate... either is a valid response :0) Lyrics I start breathin in the evenin When the silence is like wine I'm just permanently jet lagged Cuz i'm flyin all the time Well the corn is in the cotton field My socks is needin sew'd I'm just breakin in my Levis On the long and windin road If I ever get to Graceland Then to Elvis I will say I was born a Yankee Dreamer I was born to be this free I'm the real daydream believer Aint nobody like me I was barely 14 summers' When you sent me back to school I was wide-eyed and feckless At your honky, gaucho cool You were in another country You were playin by different rules I was testin out the water Fore i bought myself a pool Now they reposessed my beach hut and they call me for a fool I was born a Yankee dreamer I was born a hungry man You can call me crazy schemer But I could not give a ... Frankly my dear I dont give a damn My hearts in San Fransisco With a flower in my hair My second home's in Nashville But ma castle's up in Ayr Ive got one foot in Memphis But the other's in Dundee You can call me lonesome, cowboy but it sure wont bother me But if you mess my blue suede shoes prepare to mess with me I was born a Yankee Dreamer I was born to be this free I'm the real daydream believer Aint nobody like me No sir cuz I'm one of a growin kind A lying breed, a different creed An illegal constitution A genocide by substitution A self-assertive attitude Show no gratitude You dont like my attitude? Well fan mah brow....
