lyrics

Roger Miller Time
I hate admitting, I like listening, to George Jones alone
But the wear and tear in them records is starting to show and she knows
I can play the possum everyday and she don't really mind
But she gets concerned when it's Roger Miller time

She knows there must be something wrong
If I'm up singing Dang Me all night long
And chug a lug at the break of dawn
My baby hates when I play Roger Miller songs

My liver's licked, my kidneys are stoned I've got breaded fingers and battered bones
I like my brisket smoked and my chicken fried.
My uncle used to love me but she died…. And I like Roger Miller Time

Some nights I feel fit to be tied. I start playing King of the Road and Engine Number
Sometimes I can't remember the words that rhyme. All bets are off when it's Roger Miller

The first word in lonesome is one, My pappy was a pistol I'm a son of a gun
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd,
but you can do Whack do whacka do and baby I love you

When he starts singing about husbands and wives. It always brings a tear to my eye
I remember that the grass aint greener on the other side
I never loved you better than Roger Miller time

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
