lyrics

Ethan Alien
Betty and Barney Hill went out driving one looking for a thrill
When down from the sky swept a big ol ufo
Though they found it all quite stunning, truth is it’s been a long time coming
Aliens have been round here for years, or so the story goes
 
Ethan Allen was an alien
Him and all the other little green mountain men
Founded a state of being for
outlaws just like them
Ethan Allen was an alien
 
And if you want to believe
We’ve got cider, skis and did I mention weed?
The finest cheese this side of the moon
Hops for days and IPAs
Best in the Milky Way
And UFO beers brewed by Harpoon
 
Ethan Allen was an alien...
 
You can’t take the green out of these mountains,
or the ET out of Ethan Allen
Can’t take Champy out of the Vermontster lake
It was immigrants from outer space
Helped to make this country great
Let me tell you ‘bout some other ETs in my home state
 
Ben and Jerry, Snowflake Bentley... Ethan alien
Neko Case and a Band Called Death
Randy Quaid, Luis Guzman. Fred Tuttle he’s an Ethan Alien,
The Dos Equis beer guy.. He’s the most interesting man in this world. but in the entire universe he only ranks 27. Still pretty good
Chester Arthur and Calvin Coolidge not so much, but
Bernie Sanders, he’s a hardcore Ethan alien
 
Rose’s are red and time’s a flat circle
Sugar is sweet and so’s Vermont maple syruple
So be good to each other and treat strangers like friends
In the parts of the galaxy where we came from
Visitors are always welcome
And from outer space, y’all are all aliens
 
Ethan Allen was an alien….

about

Western Terrestrials image

Western Terrestrials Sharon, Vermont

Conjuring up sweeping panoramas of dusty astral plains and the allure of whiskey-laden honky tonks, Western Terrestrials are the kind of wry, unconventional outsiders country music could get used to. The Vermont-based group accomplishes a tricky feat: threading the needle between paying homage to classic country, and forging their own brand of unapologetic, hard-driving cosmic American music. ... more
