lyrics

CHIGGER BLUES
recorded in Cherokee Village, AR to 4 trk 1994.

(OUCH THE CHIGGER BITES)

I HATE TO ADMIT THAT I’M FROM ARKANSAS
BUT BILLARY* COMES FROM HERE
I HATE TO CALL MYSELF A HUMAN BEING
BUT THE PLANET EARTH IS STILL HERE

(CHORUS)
YOU CALL YOURSELF A FRIEND
IF SOMETHING DOESN’T CHANGE HERE IT’S THE END

IF YOU LIVE IN ARKANSAS
WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH CHIGGER BITES
IF YOU LIVE IN DC THE LAWYERS ALWAYS WIN

(CHORUS)

WHEN TOURIST COMES TO ARKANSAS
CHIGGERS BITE THEIR REARS
BUT WHEN THEY VISIT DC
THEY LOOK THROUGH SMOKE AND MIRRORS

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG
AND CLAIM THAT ALL ARE EQUAL
IT’S GREAT TO BE A WHITE ARKANSAN ELECTED PRESIDENT - BUT THE WAY DC WORKS THESE DAYS
THE JOB’S NO FUN ANYMORE
THE PRESIDENT USE TO PLAY THE DIRTY TRICKS
BUT NOW THE TRICKS ARE OUTSIDE THE DOOR

I HATE TO ADMIT THAT I’M FROM ARKANSAS
BUT BILLARY COMES FROM HERE
I HATE TO CALL MYSELF A HUMAN BEING
BUT THE PLANT EARTH IS STILL HERE

(CHORUS)

*AS FAR AS WE KNOW, OUR SISTER IN LAW SANDY SKEEL COINED THE TERM.
