about

A day in the life of a country tomboy. Grandma's sick, Papa's cash strapped, the neighbor boy is annoying and there are crayfish and worse in the creek.

lyrics

I'm gonna run down to the creek
I'm gonna jump in where it's deep
I'm gonna have to plug my nose
and I won't be wearing no clothes

I'm gonna float out on my back
It's hard to do 'cause I ain't got no fat
I'm gonna worry about the crayfish
I'm gonna worry about my toes

I'm gonna worry about the neighbor boy stealing my clothes
and the bloodsuckers

I'm gonna jump from stone to stone
I'm gonna find a deer jawbone
It'll bring me luck, that's what gramma says
Then I'm gonna slip and bang my head

I'm gonna run back to the house
black-cap brambles are gonna tear my blouse
and after my papa chews me out
I'm gonna fall asleep on the couch

And I'm gonna dream about the crayfish dancing with the neighbor boy
and the bloodsuckers

Papa pays the bills, papa pays the rent
but to pay for gramma's pills
takes every God damn cent, every sorry cent

In the morning we'll drive to the funeral
Papa gonna let me hold the stearing wheel
I'm gonna cry out my eyes
stand by gramma's grave and sigh

Later on at the wake
I'm gonna feel guilty eating cake
when it comes time to say goodnight
gonna hug my papa and think about wrong and right

I'm gonna curse the crayfish and curse that neighbor boy
and curse the blood suckers

Daniel Heila & Daniel Boone's Fault Eugene, Oregon

Podunk expat living in Oregon trying to remember to put the chickens in and the cats out at night. Will the woodshed ever get built? I wonder. Somewhere between family and fortune is a bit of quiet space where I get a song written now and then.
