Man Brain

Long Hard Row to Hoe

When Grandma married Grandpa, he said, "I'll put you on a shelf,
I'll feed you nothing but ice cream and I'll do all the work myself,"
Ah, but friends, you know that ain't how it went.
Poor old Grandma, don't you know, all she ended up with was a long hard row to hoe.

When Mama married Daddy, she thought, well, I won't be alone,
She didn't figure he'd get upset when she had fun on her own,
And oh, whoa, whoa, in the end she let it go.
Being comfortable and bored, you know, is a lot like just another long hard row to hoe.

Mama tried to warn me when my man came on the scene,
But you couldn't tell me nothing back when I was seventeen,
He was the first, and he may have been the worst.
Tried to trade up since then, you know, 'cuz all he wanted for me was a long hard row to hoe.

Girls, y'all listen to me now, you watch out for the man
That says that he'll protect you if you only give your hand,
Well, don't be dumb; ask yourself, what's he protecting you from?
You'll need protecting from him next thing you know, and you end up with nothing but a long hard row to hoe.

Men get me excited, men can make me mad,
Sometimes I don't like them very much I must confess and that's too bad,
Because I love them so.
Now my dilemma you know, and I'm trying to avoid another long hard row to hoe.

No, that wasn't me singing, honey, that was something on the cd,
Come on over here by my side and make sweet love to me,
Oh, whoa, whoa, I may never let you go.
I love you baby, even though, sometimes all you give me is a long hard row to hoe.

Long Hard Row to Hoe

Alison Leiby (Triumph Election Special, Joke Phenom) fell into stand up comedy because of a near death experience, which I kinda freaked out about, then later we got real real about starting over in comedy in a new city.

Marlena and her friends give the internet advice.

I like playing with music. Sometimes I turn out something worth listening to. Thanks for checking out my humble offerings.
Yes, I've gone by Lucky Jean in the past, so both those people are me.
