Dirt Road Pickin'

from Orphan Songs by Darryl Gregory

/

about

Just a good ol' song about working musicians.

lyrics

We ain’t never going to sing in Nashville
Up on that sacred Ryman stage
We ain’t going to harmonize with Willie
Or any of the greats of our age
We just hook it up every night
Playing to the drunks at the bar
Feeling a bit like Alice
Wondering where the hell we are


We’re just Dirt Road Pickin’
Different city every night
Dirt Road Pickin’
Sing along and you’ll feel alright

Well you might be right it’s closing time
But they’re asking us to play one more
A little rock-n-roll for their mortal souls
They’re up and dancing across the floor

It don’t matter how old ya get
If you got three chords and an old guitar
And sing the songs they’re asking ya for
The ones they all know by heart
And in the cold early morning
Well we pack it all away
The banjos and the mandolins
And the music we love to play

We’re just Dirt Road Pickin’
You don’t need to know our names
Dirt Road Pickin’
Travellin’ down the dusty lanes

We’re just Dirt Road Pickin’
One more song before they turn out the lights
Dirt Road Pickin’
Sing along and you’ll feel
Yeah you’ll feel alright

Take a little Mellencamp, throw in some Cash, stir with a dash of Hiatt and flavor with Springsteen & Earle. Sounds Like Darryl Gregory. Heat-n-Eat! mmm good.
