Austin Lounge Lizards: Listen/Watch

This was the other song we recorded in Tom's living room while we were rehearsing. There wasn't room on our new DVD "30 Years of Lost Luggage" for this one. Since Darcie was unable to be at the 30th anniversary show at the Cactus Union Theater, we recorded this and "We Always Fight When We Drink Gin" (which yo can see and hear on the DVD.

Maybe we'll get the visual edited and it can be a video on it's own- time will tell!

Here we go, down the road, uh-huh Eighty hillbillies in Tennessee -went drivin' on highway 23. They took a turn and they headed west, why they did that, anyone's guess There were 87 of 'em when they started out, but 5 of 'em died and 2 fell out One named Buck, his wife was half dead Should-a left her at home, but he brought her instead They were heading west on I-28, they spotted a house that looked just great Four stories tall and 50 yards wide, the hillbillies decided to look inside They all parked in front and got out of their cars Took in some moonshine in Mason jars Got their guitars and fiddles too, started playin billy, billy, billy bayou They were a-laughin' and a-dancin' and actin' very silly But what can one expect from 80 hillbillies?
