it’s a honky tonk resolution
it’s a tumbleweed revolution
i’m just working on my thang
i’m trying to get a little twang

it’s a cowboy conclusion
it’s a chicken pickin’ evolution
i want to get the whole she-bang
i’m trying to get a little twang

well if you’ve ever had a little twang
you know that nothing’s ever the same
well if you’ve ever had a little twang
it’s something i don’t have to explain

it’s a whisky transfusion
it’s a two-steppin’ solution
don’t look at me like i’m strange
i’m trying to get a little twang

A Little Twang

she don’t think like anyone else
she’s got a style that’s all herself
she twirls to the twang of a different guitar

she don’t dress like a magazine
she’s the star of her own scene
she twirls to the twang of a different guitar

ain’t i lucky to be the one
ain’t i lucky that’s she my hon
ain’t i lucky that she’s plucking on the strings of my heart

she don’t talk like other women
she’s striking out on her own mission
she twirls to the twang of a different guitar

she don’t walk like the other girls
she’s got own place in the world
she twirls to the twang of a different guitar

she don’t put colors in her hair
she lives her life without a care
she twirls to the twang of a different guitar

(bridge)

she don’t buy into all that goop
she’ll knock you for a loop-de-loop
she twirls to the twang of a different guitar

She Twirls To The Twang Of A Different Guitar

Monday is depressed
Tuesday is in the dumps
Wednesday’s on the ledge and swearing that she'll jump
Yesterday told tomorrow
she didn't know what to say
Tomorrow told her to just to take it day by day
day by day, day by day
all that you can do is take it day by day, day by day

Friday follows Thursday
She wishes that he'd stop
Cause if he don't, she's gonna go and call the cops
Yesterday told tomorrow
it’s like she’s in a play
Tomorrow told her ...

Saturday likes his wine
he likes his loving drunk
Sunday looks in the mirror and she wonders what she's done.
Yesterday told tomorrow
she’s sure she’s lost her way
Tomorrow told her ...

Day By Day

four years of college, got a B.A.
studied hard summa cum laude
my accredited snobbery ain’t helped my jobbery

two more years, got a master’s
didn’t help me get a job any faster
my accredited snobbery ain’t helped my jobbery

high school, college, university
should help you get ahead in our society
i hope these loans can be paid off
i hope i get a job where i won’t get laid off

got a ph.d. piled high and deep
part time adjunct at university
my accredited snobbery ain’t helped my jobbery

(bridge)

three degrees no money ain’t too cool
guess i’ll go enroll at my local trade school
my accredited snobbery ain’t helped my jobbery

Snobbery

it’s been a long day 
i need a cabernet
it’s time to wine down

got no place to go
i’ll sip on a pinot
it’s time to wine down

pop a cork, turn the bottle over
make it top shelf or make it mediocre
ain’t going out gonna be homebound
it’s time to wine down

i’ll turn on the tv
with a chilled chablis
it’s time to wine down

i ain’t gonna complain
i’ll pour me some champagne
it’s time to wine down

Wine Down

give me the goods
i want the better and the best
give me what ya got
i want the scraps and all the rest
though my teeth are gnashing
you’ll still hear me laughing
i ain’t no human being
i’m a human having

give me the cash
i want the dollars and the dough
give me all your change
i want the silver and the gold
like lightning i am flashing
like thunder i am crashing
i ain’t no human being
i’m a human having

give me the keys
to everything you’ve got
give me your stuff
i don’t care if it will rot
though all things are passing
the whip just keeps on lashing
i ain’t no human being
i’m a human having
