The Ballad of Tommie Lee

 

Late at night on a two lane road out of nowheresville

The headlights cuttin' the dark like a knife as we topped the hill

There in the dirt with a hole in his shirt lay our best friend Bill

 

Slammin' the brakes made the tires scream and we saw him run

A shadowy man runnin' fast over land escapin' what he'd done

Tommie Lee reached under the seat and wrapped his hand around a gun

 

Blood on his shirt and that look on his face.....t'was a fatal attack

Breathing his last he said "tell her I love her" and his eyes rolled back

Tommie's eyes got as dark as the sky and vanished into the black

 

Out in the dark there were boots runnin' rocks and muffled shouts

Deep dark boomin' and flashes of light as the shots rang out

Again and again and when the silence crept in it didn't leave no doubt

 

Stumblin' out on the edge of the road in the glare of the lights

Tumblin' into the driver's seat and he wound it up tight

Smokin' the tires with the headers on fire Tommie vanished into the night

 

Break of dawn on a two lane road through the desert sand

"That '37 Chevy was a burned out hulk" said the police man

It's a mystery to me you know we never did see Tommie Lee again

Yeah a mystery to me, we never did see Tommie Lee again

Bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye

Krasi Krasi Krasi! Wow, man.......you put your soul into it! I am struck by the way you growl this one, giving the gravity of the situation its' due. Thank you, Krasi. I am honored at the effort and artistry you put into these collaborations. I see you got the SJ back from the mechanic......what did he do with it? And where was this shot? I know you said you went to a folk festival thing in Romania - was this part of that?

 

Sounds very good, my friend! Thank you!!!

[MisterGibs]

That is me who is thankful to you for your inspirational lyrics! If the words were not so strong - the song wouldn't be so good.

I was in Romania - in the town of Calafat. And I played this song before the audience on stage.

But this record I posted here I made in the garden of the house of my luthier in the village of Sheynovo saturday evening.

The luthier (Galin Penev) organised a concert in his house and I was one of the guest-musicians.

M-R GIBS is in a WONDERFUL STATE and plays like a cannon.

The problem with him is that in the appartement where I live during the winter the air is drier than M-R GIBS can stand and the "materials moove" like the luthier says... And there are buzzes here and there...

I hope strong that the problem is solved already.

So - now I think that it is time for another song?

Send some wonderful lyrics again if you like ;-)

And Hi there!

Just to say that I had to re-register (for the third time in this forum).

It did not accept my previous nick and password.

I was "MisterGibs" and now I am MrGibs.

So Hallo again.
