The Best Of Cw Mccall

Cw Mccall The Best Of Cw Mccall Lyrics
1.Audubon

Well, i was born in a town called audubon
Southwest iowa, right where it oughta been
Twenty-three houses, fourteen saloons,
And a feed mill in nineteen-thirty.
Had a neon sign, said 'squealer feeds'
And the bus came through when they felt the need
And they stopped at a place there in town called the old home
cafe

Now my daddy was a music lovin' man
He stood six-foot-seven, had big ol' hands
He'd lost two fingers in a chainsaw but he could still play the
violin
And mom played piana, just the keys in the middle
And dad played a storm on his three-fingered fiddle
'cause that's all there was to do back there folks, except ta go
downtown and watch haircuts

So i was raised on dust bowl tunes, you see
Had a six-tube radio an' no tv
It was so dog-goned hot i had to wet the bed in the summer just
to keep cool.
Yeah, many's a night i'd lay awake
A-waitin' for a distant station break
Just a-settin' and a-wettin' an' a-lettin' that radio fry.

Well, i listened to nashville and tulsa and dallas
And oklahoma city gave my ear a callus
And i'll never forget them announcers at three a.m.
They'd come on an' say 'friends, there's many a soul who needs
us
'so send them letters an' cards ta jesus
'that's j-e-s-u-s friends, in care a' del rio, texas.'

But the place i remember, on the edge a' town
Was the place where you really got the hard-core sound
Yeah, a place where the truckers used ta stop on their way to
dees moins
There was signs all over them windowsills
Like 'if the devil don't get ya, then roosevelt will'
And 'the bank don't sell no beer, and we don't cash no checks.'

Now them truckers never talked about nothin' but haulin'
And the four-letter words was really appallin'
They thought them home-town gals was nothin' but toys for their
amusement.
Rode chevys and macks and big ol' stacks
They's always complainin' 'bout their livers an' backs
But they was fast-livin', strung-out, truck-drivin' son of a
guns

Now the gal waitin' tables was really classy
Had a rebuilt motor on a fairly new chassis
And she knew how to handle them truckers; name was mavis davis
Yeah, she'd pour 'em a coffee, then she'd bat her eyes
Then she'd listen to 'em tell 'er some big fat lies
Then she'd ask 'em how the wife and kids was, back there in
joplin?

Now mavis had all of her ducks in a row
Weighed ninety-eight pounds; put on quite a show
Remind ya of a couple a' cub scouts tryin' ta set up a sears,
roebuck pup tent
There's no proposition that she couldn't handle
Next ta her, nothin' could hold a candle
Not a hell of a lot upstairs, but from there on down,
disneyland!

Now the truckers, on the other hand, was really crass
They remind ya of fingernails a-scratchin' on glass
A-stompin' on in, leavin' tracks all over the montgomery ward
linoleum
Yeah, they'd pound them counters and kick them stools
They's always pickin' fights with the local fools
But one look at mavis, and they'd turn into a bunch a' tomcats

Well, i'll never forget them days gone by
I's just a kid, 'bout four foot high
But i never forgot that lesson an' pickin' and singin', the
country way
Yeah, them walkin', talkin' truck stop blues
Came back ta life in seventy-two
As 'the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe'

Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe


2.Black Bear Road

(c.w. mccall, bill fries, chip davis)

Me an' rj an' the kids was on a camp-out in the mountains, and
we had us one'a them u-drive-'em army jeep cars which we rented
from a fella by the name of kubozke for thirty bucks a day, buy
you
Along the way, take a rabbit's foot and leave a pint of blood
for a dee-posit.

And he 'splained it all to us how we was supposed to get to
telluride, which is fifty miles away by way of the regular
highway, however, there was a shortcut but unless we had drove
the black be
Ad before, we'd better be off to stay, stay in bed and sleep
late. (pay no attention to the gitar there.)

Well, we took up off'n the highway and we come upon a sign says
'black bear road. you don't have to be crazy to drive this road,
but it helps.' i says, 'rj, this must the shortcut
Kubozke was talkin' about.' she didn't pay no mind, 'cause she
was makin' peanut butter sandwiches for the kids in the back
seat throwin' rocks and drinkin' kool-aid and playin' count-the-
Se-plates. but they wasn't havin' too much fun a-countin'
license plate or cars, 'cause there weren't no other cars.

We went about a mile-and-a-half in about four hours, busted off
the right front fender, tore a hole in the oil pan on a rock as
big as a hall closet. went over a bump and spilt the kool-aid
and
Ene stuck his bolo knife right through the convertible top and
the dog threw up all over the back seat. peanut butter don't
agree with him, you see.

So we had to stop and take off the top and air everything out
and clean it up. the dog run off and rj says she felt her asthma
comin' on. i was sittin' there wonderin' what to do when the
en-tir
Nic san joo-wan u-drive-'em army jeep car sank in the mud. at
thirteen thousand feet above sea level.

Well, we shoveled it out and ate our lunch, the dog made a
yellow hole in the snow and roy gene got out his instamatic and
took a snapshot of it. mary elizabeth drawed a picture of the
road; it
D like a whole bunch a' zs and ws all strung together. and rj
took one look at it and said that the only way that jeep car is
goin' down that road is over her dead body. then a rock slipped
out
Under the wheel and the u-drive-'em army jeep car went right
over the edge of the cliff. yahoo-oo-oo-oo!

'doggone-it, roy gene! how many times do i have to 'splain it to
you? when i tell you to put a rock under the wheel, i mean rock!
now look at that, what you have there is no bigger'n a grap
T.'

Like a rocket sled on rails.
We tore up all of our swindle sheets,
And left 'em settin' on the scales.
By the time we hit that chi-town,
Them bears was a-gettin' smart:
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the illinoise national guard.
There's armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps,
And rigs of ev'ry size.
Yeah, them chicken coops was full'a bears
And choppers filled the skies.
Well, we shot the line and we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
An' eleven long-haired friends a' jesus
In a chartreuse micra-bus.

lissen, you wanna put that micra-bus right behind that suicide
jockey? yeah, he's haulin' dynamite, and he needs all the help

T.

Well, we laid a strip for the jersey shore
And prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But i didn't have a dog-goned dime.
I says, 'pig pen, this here's the rubber duck.
'we just ain't a-gonna pay no toll.'
So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight
I says 'let them truckers roll, 10-4.'

'cause we got a mighty convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a mighty convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy

5.Green River

(c.w. mccall, bill fries, chip davis)

Way out in the canyons of the west, there's a wild river. the
spanish named it san buenaventura; but we knew it as the green.

It was daylight on the river but we couldn't see the sun
And we couldn't hear our voices through the roar
But we felt the boilin' current and our blood was runnin' cold
As we headed down the canyon of lodore
And the gods were runnin' with us
On the day we ran the rapids of the green

And we died a thousand times in that forty miles of hell
The longest day of life we'd ever seen
But we lived to tell the story and we know the story well
The day we ran the rapids of the green

We were thirty-two in number when we gathered on the shore
And we headed off into the great unknown
But we summoned up our courage an' we formed a mighty team
And we ran that ragin' river all alone
Yeah, the gods were runnin' with us
On the day we ran the rapids of the green


And we hear a thousand echoes on the mighty canyon walls
As we shouted from the waters far below
And we saw the ancient warnings and we heard the ghostly cries
Of the men who ran the river long ago
And we prayed that they were with us
On the day we ran the rapids of the green


Now the memories are swirlin' in the eddies of our minds
But the waters of the green are flowin' clear
And the canyon of lodore will be a long remembered tale
To be told around the campfires through the years
Yeah, the gods were runnin' with us
On the day we ran the rapids of the green

And we died a thousand times in that forty miles of hell
The longest day of life we'd ever seen
But we lived to tell the story and we know the story well
The day we ran the rapids of the green

8.Old Home Filler-up An' Keep On A-truckin' Cafe

(bill fries, chip davis)

Well, interstate 80, we was cuttin' the fog
Just me an' old sloan (old sloan's my dog)
We had an eighteen-wheeler with ten on the floor and stereo
layin' a strip
Now we spied a sign, says 'eat gas now'
We decided to whip in and pick up some chow
At the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe

Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' (a-lookin' for
mavis)
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe

Now we've been every place between here and south sioux
And we've seen us a truck-stop waitress or two
But this gal's built like a burlap bag full of bobcats:
She's got it to-gether

Well, she filled my tank; i said 'thank you, honey.'
Her name was mavis, i gave her the money
Old sloan just set there, watchin' and waggin' and wishin'.
I says, 'you wait in the truck, boy.'

Then i went inside. she says, 'what'll it be?'
I says 'a cup of your best and a number three.'
She come back with an order to go and a quart of hot c and a
bone for sloan.
I said, 'much obliged'; old sloan gave a bark
I left her a buck and he left his heart
At the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe

Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe

Well, saturday night we was truckin' along
Yeah, me and old sloan was a-gettin' it on
I said, 'sloan, i've been thinkin' on a-gettin' up my courage,
and tonight's the night'
Well, i popped the clutch, gave the tranny a spin
Took the beebeetown ramp and slid on in
To the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe

Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' (it never
closes)
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe

Well, i got me a stool, took a load off my shoes,
Made mavis an offer that she couldn't refuse
I says, 'how'd ya like to go for a ride with me and old sloan? i
just had my truck warshed.'
She allowed as how it sounded like a whole lot of fun
But we was gonna have ta wait until the dishes was done
And was it all right with me if she brought along her mother as
a chaperone?
I said, 'why not?'

Well, we geared that tranny into super-low
And the four of us went to see a picture show
Yeah, i took 'em to the drive-in the-a-ter over by pisgah, to
see true grit
Saw the late, late show; old sloan hit the sack
And then along about two o'clock i hauled 'em all back
To the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe

Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe (eight
stools and a promise)
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin'
Oh, the old home filler-up an' keep on a-truckin' cafe (they got
a real nice place there)


9.The Gallopin' Goose

(chip davis, bill fries)

On a cold november mornin'
Back in nineteen-thirty-seven
With an early snow a-fallin'
On the three-foot tracks at ames
Came a mighty strange contraption
Known to trainmen as a motor
But to folks in colorado
She was known by another name

Up the canyons south of sawpit
Past the red cathedral spires
'cross the yellow mountain switchbacks
And the rapids far below
On the high and lofty trestles
Near the fabled mines of ophir
In the silver san juan mountains
Came a goose a-plowin' snow

With a pierce-arrow engine,
Runnin' hot and on the loose
Came the rio grande southern
The gallopin' goose
With a pierce-arrow engine
Runnin' hot and on the loose
Came number five, the gallopin' goose

'twas a four-door auto-mobile
On a dozen wheels of iron
Sixteen feet of rockin' boxcar
Spot-welded to her tail
Loaded down with mercantile
Ten bags a' high-grade ore
Two mothers nursin' babies
Seven miners an' the mail

Up the side a' sunshine mountain
By internal gas combustion
Eight pierce-arrow pistons pullin'
Fifteen thousand pounds a' lead
At the snowshed on the summit
The conductor said his prayers
He declared a busted driveshaft
On the pass at lizard head

With a pierce-arrow engine
Runnin' hot and on the loose
Came the rio grande southern
The gallopin' goose
With a pierce-arrow engine
Runnin' hot and on the loose
Came number five, the gallopin' goose


Down the three-percent to rico
In the valley of dolores
They still talk about the southern
An' her flock of flyin' geese
From the roundhouse at ridgway
To the depot at durango
All the tracks are gone for scrap iron
And the ganders rest in peace

Up the canyons south of sawpit
Past the red cathedral spires
'cross the yellow mountain switchbacks
And the rapids far below
On the high and lofty trestles
Near the fabled mines of ophir
In the silver san juan mountains
There's a legend in the snow

With a pierce-arrow engine
Runnin' hot and on the loose
Came the rio grande southern
The gallopin' goose
With a pierce-arrow engine
Runnin' hot and on the loose
Came number five, the gallopin' goose


10.There Won't Be No Country Music

(there won't be no rock 'n' roll)
(c.w. mccall, bill fries, chip davis)

Well, it's only gonna be about an hour, friend
'til they dam your favorite river
So you can water-ski just one more reservior
And them supersonic ships are gonna take you
'cross a sea of pavement
To one more faceless brickyard on the shore

Yeah, it's only gonna be about an hour or so
'til they rip off all your mountains, boy
And that one last tired old eagle bites the sand
And all of that high-and-mighty scenery's
Gonna be leveled to the ground, boy
By a bunch a' them mindless strip mines on the land

So listen well, my brothers
When you hear the night wind sigh
And you see the wild goose flying
Through the gray, polluted sky
There won't be no country music
There won't be no rock 'n' roll
'cause when they take away our country
They'll take away our soul

Well, it's only gonna take about a minute or so
'til the junkyards fell the prairies, boy
And them smokin' yellow grass fires start to burn
And the warnings on them beer cans
Gonna be buried in them landfills
No deposit, no sad songs, and no returns

Yeah, it's only gonna take about a minute or so
'til the factories blot the sun out
You gonna have to turn your lights on just to see
And them lights are gonna be neon, sayin'
'fly our jets to paradise'
And the whole damn world is gonna be made of styrene

So listen well, my brothers
When you hear the night wind sigh
And you see the wild goose flying
Through the gray, polluted sky
There won't be no country music
There won't be no rock 'n' roll
'cause when they take away our country
They'll take away our soul

Yeah, it's only gonna be about a second, boy
'til they take away all'a this country
And they'll tell you not to listen to this here song
And that far-off sound of freedom's
Gonna be an echo from the past
And the final tune is gonna be sad and long

And it's only gonna be about an eye-blink, boy
'til they pull out the wool to blind us
So we just can't read all the messages on the wall
But the only words that matter
Oughta be scribbled all over them billboards
In big old black and bloody letters, ten feet tall


There won't be no country music
There won't be no rock 'n' roll
'cause when they take away our country
They'll take away our soul

There won't be no country music
There won't be no rock 'n' roll
'cause when they take away our country
They'll take away our soul

There won't be no country music
There won't be no rock 'n' roll
'cause when they take away our country
They'll take away our soul

There won't be no country music
There won't be no rock 'n' roll
'cause when they take away our country
They'll take away our soul
'cause when they take away our country
They'll take away our soul


11.Wolf Creek Pass

(bill fries, chip davis)

Me an' earl was haulin' chickens on a flatbed out of wiggins,
and we'd spent all night on the uphill side of thirty-seven
miles of hell called wolf creek pass. which is up on the great
divide?

We was settin' there suckin' toothpicks, drinkin' nehi and onion
soup mix, and i said, 'earl, let's mail a card to mother then
send them chickens on down the other side. yeah, let's give 'e
Ide.'

Wolf creek pass, way up on the great divide
Truckin' on down the other side

Well, earl put down his bottle, mashed his foot down on the
throttle, and then a couple'a boobs with a thousand cubes in a
nineteen-forty-eight peterbilt screamed to life. we woke up the
chicken
R>

Well, we roared up offa that shoulder sprayin' pine cones,
rocks, and boulders, and put four hundred head of them rhode
island reds and a couple a' burnt-out roosters on the line. look
out below
Use here we go!

Well, we commenced to truckin' and them hens commenced to
cluckin' and then earl took out a match and scratched his pants
and lit up the unused half of a dollar cigar and took a puff.
says '
Ain't this purdy up here.'

I says, 'earl, this hill can spill us. you better slow down or
you gonna kill us. just make one mistake and it's the pearly
gates for them eight-five crates a' usda-approved cluckers. you
w
Hit second?'

Wolf creek pass, way up on the great divide
Truckin' on down the other side

Well, earl grabbed on the shifter and he stabbed her into fifth
gear and then the chromium-plated, fully-illuminated genuine
accessory shift knob come right off in his hand. i says, 'you wa
Crew that thing back on, earl?'

He was tryin' to thread it on there when the fire fell off a'
his cigar and dropped on down, sorta rolled around, and then lit
in the cuff of earl's pants and burned a hole in his sock. yeah,
so
Et him right on fire.

I looked on outta the window and i started countin' phone poles,
goin' by at the rate of four to the seventh power. well i put
two and two together, and added twelve and carried five; come up
wi
Enty-two thousand telephone poles an hour.

I looked at earl and his eyes was wide, his lip was curled, and
