Backhoe Blues
I got the following the backhoe at 15 miles an hour blues
I got the following that backhoe at 15 miles an hour blues
Even trucks pullin’ trailers pass us by like yesterday’s news.
I drank a pot of tea this mornin’and it’s causing me some pain
I drank a whole pot of tea this mornin’ and it’s causing me some pain.
If I don’t find a bathroom I may never uncross these eyes again.
Oh, my red lights are flashin’, flashin’ a warning sign
My red lights are flashin’, yes, I’m your warning sign.
Ten miles left to go and I’m bored right outta my mind.

I got the following that backhoe at 15 miles an hour blues
Tappin’ breaks for hours now my foot’s asleep in my shoe.
Well when we get home, I’m gonna park right in the yard
Oh when we get home, gonna park this red truck in the yard
And if you ever ask me to do this again, gonna have think real hard.

You are a good woman, Linda, to spend 3.5 hours going not very far at a not very fast rate. Let’s haul the damn backhoe next time, rather than drive it on the highway. Got one song out of it, can’t ask for more than that 🙂
If I hadn’t drank so much tea that morning at our writers’ group I might not have been singin’ the blues, lol!
It be the delta
