They covered the speakers in plastic sheets  
Beer fell down like rain  
Thousands roared as they witnessed the feats  
When Dick wrestled Mojo on the stage  

The two titans battled as the band played on   
None could tell who had won  
The King of Sleaze was crowned that day   
We all shook hands when it was done!  

His drum sticks were carved from   
the masts of The Constitution   
Patron Saint to anyone    
who’s ever spent a lonely night in jail   
He stood as tall as a redwood   
with a voice as big as a mountain  
He was the Baron of Pleasure   
and his heart was as big as a whale  

Word spread out across the western states  
That Country Dick was gone  
He died where he was happy on a raucous stage  
singing a good old country western song  
His music will heal our broken hearts  
Ever his memory will last  
I know he’s in heaven cause the devil’s afraid  
That Country Dick would kick his ass!  

Gather round you lowlifes, you dirt bags and you sinners  
Roll up your chronic and hoist up your Forties and pray  
Raise up a toast to Country Dick Montana  
Salute his glory never forget his name!

My Bad Luck by Chickenbone Slim

Don’t you get too close 
you better stay on back 
trouble’s on my horizon 
don’t dare cross my path 
I don’t want to alarm you 
if you got too much to lose 
don’t let my bad luck 
jump off on you 

It could happen any time 
lightning does strike twice 
misfortune’s always around me 
I’m trouble magnetized 
better keep your distance 
ease down the avenue 
don’t let my bad luck 
jump off on you 

My enemies draw near  
evil’s coming for me 
It’s best to keep your distance 
don’t share my destiny 
ill vapors in my house 
 ill rumors in my news 
don’t let my bad luck 
jump off on you 

I need a voodoo woman 
a gypsy or a priest 
someone to break this curse  
an exorcist at least 
my bad juju might be catching 
No way to cure me of these blues  
don’t let my bad luck 
jump off on you

Ride-by Chickenbone Slim

I could see those neon lights 
From half a mile away 
I’ve been rolling due west 
ever since the break of day 
hate the thought  
 my baby might have to wait 

I could smell that ice cold beer 
 as I rolled on by 
I sure got the money   
I just don’t got the time 
That sweet little woman 
waiting on down the line 

We’re gonna ride, ride, ride 
Like a fast freight train on the downhill slide 
We’re gonna ride, ride, ride 
keep on rolling till the morning light 
My sweet little woman  
is waiting on down the line 

Like a compass pointing north  
Hound dog on the scent 
I gotta get to her  
I know she’s heaven sent 
made this dumb man smart 
made this sinner repent 

John Lee just tells the truth 
My dashboard lights turn blue, 
I know where I’m going 
I know what I’m gonna do 
gonna split the desert 
try to break on through 

We’re gonna ride, ride, ride  
Like a midnight train on the downhill side  
We’re gonna ride, ride, ride  
Keep on rolling til the morning light  
My sweet little woman is waiting on down the line  

I roll into Ocean Beach  
smell of kelp so sweet  
The rise that morning   
the best I’ve ever seen  
no time to waste  
My baby’s been waiting on me  

Half a block to go  
In my heart I know  
She’s waiting there for me   
waiting in a bungalow  
gonna pull the shades  
gonna turn the lights down low  

We’re gonna ride, ride, ride   
like a midnight train  
on the downhill side   
We’re gonna ride, ride, ride  
Keep on riding till the morning light  
my sweet little woman waiting on down the line   
Ocean Beach fog like a blanket on my mind  
Need to see those eyes-kiss those lips of wine

Helpless-by Chickenbone Slim

Helpless, helpless 
helpless I see 
oh pray for mercy 
humble thy deeds 
lower thy eyes 
lower thy means 
helpless, helpless I see 

Hopeless, hopeless 
hopeless I know 
I come for your body 
I come for your soul 
I’m hidden and wanton 
Best do as your told 
hopeless, hopeless I know 

I’ll darken the sky, I’ll darken your eye 
cover up, won’t make it right 
I’ll close up the blinds, I’ll reach in your mind 
Won’t have a way to fight 

Heartless, heartless 
heartless I lie 
I bear no compassion 
won’t play that jive 
I’ll scar you and bleed you 
wipe you from my mind 
heartless, heartless I’m alive 

Hateful, Hateful  
Hateful I am  
Call me a demon  
but I’m just a man  
I play the angles  
get all that I can  
Hateful  
Hateful Man  

I’ll darken the sky, I’ll darken your eye  
cover up, won’t make it right  
I’ll close up the blinds  
I’ll reach in your mind  
there seems no way you can fight  

Helpless, helpless  
helpless remain  
hide in the shadows  
forget my name  
If nothing is spoken  
nothing will change  
helpless, helpless remain

Little Victory-Teves

Who doesn’t like a sunny day? 
a helping hand to lead the way 
a home cooked meal 
just like your mom used to make? 

What’s sweeter than a pretty girl’s smile 
  A muscle car on the miracle mile 
If I could lift my head 
I could appreciate 

CHORUS-Evil spirits and conspiracies 
The machinations of my enemies 
holding back the hordes 
 a long slow steady retreat-I need a little victory 

They never took the blood from the sport 
they take their pound when you up short 
Drifting further back 
falling further behind 

They knocked me out and tanned my hide 
the hole I’m in is deep and wide 
The birds of carrion land  
they like to take their time 

CHORUS-Lost momentum when I dropped a gear 
eyes are wide a healthy dose of fear 
bombs dropping all around me 
Don’t make me concede-I need a little victory 

Through the glass it looks so neat 
couldn’t wait to see me bleed 
slow motion fail 
your eyes are glued to the screen 

Can’t toss a towel to stop this fight 
 won’t go wrong by doing right 
a change in circumstance 
is what I really need 

CHORUS-Evil spirits or conspiracies 
The machinations of my enemies 
Holding back the hordes, a long slow  
steady retreat-I need a little victory
