ahh......but those were only necessary for rhymes. The four listed are the actual ingredients (according to the song) that DAC said were needed in the song.


Point of interest......(or not)

I had a one-off gig last Saturday with a band I'd never heard of....and of course - we played that song.

This guy had 4 JBL 728 Subs and 4 725 Tops (plus 2 xti4002 and 2 6002 amps). Wish I had the cash he spent on that....you could build one hell of a big BFM system for that kinda' money.

Actually written by Ray Wiley Hubbard (and David Allen Coe usually gives him credit when he performs it).

I think is was Steve Goodman and John Prine, wasn't it?

According to good ol Wikipedia, yes.

A little more researching shows Goodman recorded it in 1972 and it appeared on the album "Steve Goodman" and David Allen Coe in 1974 on the album "Once upon a rhyme".

I'm inclined not to trust wikipaedia - it seems to me to be opinion by committee and not necessarily the real facts. As you found out Grant "A little more researching shows...."

Just like a camel = a horse designed by a committee.

But then I'm just a grumpy ol' fart.....
