Crunchy Munchy Dogfood

The dogfood was crunchy
The dogfood was munchy
I ate it cause
Bubby said I should
But I think he lied
Cause he thinks I am punchy
When he says
It tastin good

Taters N Gravy

taters n gravy
taters n gravy
oh how I love
the taters n gravy
taters is white
gravy is brown
I live in Mississippi
in a real little town
some folks is brown
some folks is white
seems like to me
they do nothing but fight
if taters is ok
and gravy makes em good
why can't folks get along
like taters n gravy should

Hero

This for the man who saved my life
Saving me from the edge of a knife

When a man tried to rob me one night
Then found his own self losing the fight

When a hero came out of the shadow
With a right hand he laid the robber low

He told me to go and I did what he said
If not for him then I would be dead

I turned back and asked "What is your name?"
So I could remember his dangerous game

But all he said was, "just call me the painted hunter"
