MY NAME IS HICK'RY HAWKINS!
Here's a new song I just wrote so I don't have it recorded yet. I figure this one oughtta get some attention as soon as I can get it out there. So here it is at least in lyric form, for you....lemme know what ya think.....


MY NAME IS HICK'RY HAWKINS copyright hick'ry hawkins 2005

Well Hank III and Shooter Jennings play too loud for some to agree
But I was raised on Motorhead so that's alright with me
People tell me I'm alot like them but somehow not the same
Cos I ain't got no fancy record deals or a famous country name

chorus....
"I'm just a lonely cowboy jumpin off the bar
I done give up my dreams of ever bein a country star
I can't be Mr. Corporate Nashville like Toby Keith
I'm a little bit too strange, alot like Morrissey"

Well I could've even been the Next Steve Earle
But I was much too busy drinkin chasing the rockabilly girls
I met Jason Ringenberg and he did not give a damn
When I said I'd sell my soul to put a song into Dwight Yoakams hands
Then I opened up for David Allan Coe
He was a dick, and ran out on the crowd in the middle of the show

(chorus)

But still I'm keepin the spirit of Johnny Cash alive
And I'll make damn sure the name of Sid Vicious never dies
I'll put my sorries in a sack in I'll just head on outta town
But you'll remember that someone like Luke the Drifter is still around

Well my name is Hick'ry Hawkins and I can't sing like ol'George Jones
But I got the same hangover and the meaness in my bones
Anytime y'all wanna get drunk and have an ol'country sing along
I'll be right here at the bar till it's way past time to go home.......

(chorus once more)
