Curly and Lil |
Curly would drive that old pickup truck |
Lilly would roll a cigarette |
They never sweated the money the made |
They get by just fine on anything they get |
Curly worked the Dobro for seven long years |
Always on the road not at home |
He told Lilly one day before it all slips away |
Let’s take the kids out there and make it on our own |
It’s good times 'tiil they get here |
Short time 'til they’re gone |
Just picking and singing in a family band |
Traveling and living off the land |
Picking and fishing and meeting other folks |
Making home brew and cooking steaks |
Wear your old clothes and drive those old country roads |
Live your mistakes and make up your own breaks |
They traveled this country from L.A. to Maine |
Seattle and back to Key West |
Through hundreds of gigs and all the miles they did |
They say that raising five kids tops the list |
Curly told me if you want to be free |
You got to be your own boss |
Be fair with those you like, do what you think is right |
If they still don’t like you, pack it up and walk |
