Just Another Broken Man-(Revised Country Ver. 2).mp3

Whipped this up yesterday, made a lead sheet, played and sang on the piano, but then, not wanting to release a song sounding like an old Bob Dylan, I turned to A.I. for a polished work.

Lyrics

I live in Texas,
But not on a farm,
In a house in the suburbs,
With a certain old charm,
I have lassos on my walls,
And pigs on my lawn,
Not real, but plastic,
By a neon sign that says y'all.

I know it's a bit crazy,
But that's how it has to be,
If you don't want to be city folk,
But kinda country.

I drive a shiny pickup
But not on a ranch,
With a brand new cowboy hat,
I hang from a branch. 
I don't own any cattle,
I don't own a horse,
But I still wear leather boots,
With sharp pointy spurs, of course,

I know it's a bit crazy,
But that's how it has to be,
If you don't want to be a city folk,
But kinda country.

I know it's a bit crazy,
But that's how it has to be,
If you don't want to be a city folk,
But kinda country.

Kinda Country

Song based on story by Robert Reich of same title

In our kindergarten Christmas show
Back in nineteen fifty-two
I was picked to play the infant Christ
Even though I was a Jew

Mary, Joseph, three wise men
Stood around my bed of hay
Singing “Come let us adore Him”
As I closed my eyes to pray

God, I didn’t have a choice 
They cast me in this role 
I still adore the Torah, Lord
With all my heart and soul 

When I played Baby Jesus
I prayed what you might pray
When chosen for the kind of role
You did not want to play

God, I didn’t have a choice 
They cast me in this role 
I still adore the Torah, Lord
With all my heart and soul

I will alway love my Hebrew faith
Just as much as you love yours
So please don’t make my children pray
To gods they don’t adore

God, I didn’t have a choice 
They cast me in this role 
I still adore the Torah, Lord
With all my heart and soul
I still adore the Torah, Lord
With all my heart and soul
