Happy As A Man
Well everywhere I go, seems I’ve always been around/I made a name for myself and I’ll never live it down/No one wants me here, but they won’t let me out/Won’t look me in the eyes, I️ guess I know what it’s about/Well everyone’s got their mind made up/I’ll never be anything but torn up in this town/Can’t even find a home on the wages I️ get paid/For all the trouble it took, well that’s all they ever gave/When you’ve got nothing in your hands, but wishes and far-off plans/They’ll say you should've found yourself a bright and sturdy lad/Instead your lookin’ real rundown mama, you’re lookin’ bad// Chorus: If I️ had a place that I️ could live, a place to lay my head/In a place that I️ could stand, somewhere I’d never been/If I️ had the sun on my face and I️ had money in my hand/ I’d be happy as an oyster /I’d be happy as a man//I’m a prude if I️ don’t and I’m a whore if I️ do/Took me a while, but I️ learned a thing or two/If you’re a little woman with nothin’, it don’t matter who wears the shoes/You can work all day and night and you can pay your poor man’s dues/But they’ll never think nothin’, but a woman of you//Chorus//Well I’d walk right in there and I’d sit right down/Start shouting orders for a stiff and sturdy round/And I’d tell ‘em all to bury it, deep down in the ground, where I cannot hear a single sound/Cause I️ don’t need their thoughts, I️ don’t need their dirty looks/Or their sympathetic nods, their self-indulgent hooks/I’m doin’ fine, in my skin/I’m getting good, not fitting in/I’m getting by, and I’m throwin’ it all to hell//Chorus//

The Lostines - It's Been Wrong

Something on your Mind (By Karen Dalton)

"The music that Birdie Fenn Cent writes and sings is as pure and honest as it gets.  She lives it and writes about it and writes about it and lives it.  She’s a songwriter’s songwriter whose blood runs the color of music.  Her songs shake things up, turn things inside out and dance with the skeletons in society’s closet.  It takes courage to be vulnerable, to let the birds out of your heart and pull the rug out from under your demons.  Birdie does this-- line after line, song after song.
