about

Another unexpected gift at the end of the session - never planned on recording it before hand but I just figured Mark was the right drummer to record this song with and he and Jim and Ty went to town. Johnny capped it by bravely suggesting some background vocals that I now can’t get out of my head

lyrics

Palmer’s Pick Up Blues

Could have been the whiskey
might have been the gin
Could have been the state that I found myself in
The state of Alabama
borders on Louisiana
or anyways both of them are far from home

I got those low down Palmer’s pick up blues
I’ve gambled everything I had to lose
On Palmer’s pickup blues

Could have been the rough road
or maybe just the tough grind
or the fact that I have trouble making up my mind
Should’a would’a could’a
been a little more like Buddah
remembered what I’d left at home

I got those low down Palmer’s pick up blues
I’ve gambled everything I had to lose
On Palmer’s pick up blues

Could have been the perfume
or her underlying scent
or where it was it seemed that those legs went
could have been the “I wanna”
or the marijuana
or the fact I was long way from home

I got those low down Palmer’s pick up blues
I’ve gambled everything I had to lose
On Palmer’s pick up blues

What is it that smells so sweet?
Flowers blooming in the cracks of the street
They’re just like me and you
They’re gonna find the sun somewhere
Just like lovers they don’t care
Somehow they’re gonna get their share
I can see them blooming... everywhere

I got Palmer’s pick up blues
