Townes Van Zandt
Long Ball Hitter
I am a long ball hitter
On a lonesome streak
Dressed up like a turkey
I’m a sideshow freak
Only one thing that I can’t do
That’s you with me
And me with you
I’m a rag-tailed rooster
On a dead-end log
Hounding myself like an inbred dog
Only one thing that I can’t do
That’s you with me
And a cock-a-doodle-do
Cock-a-doodle-do
That’s a cock-a-doodle-do
I’m a long ball hitter
On a losing streak
Dressed up like a turkey
I’m a sideshow freak
Only one thing that I can’t do
That’s you with me
And me with you
