lyrics

Just a Flapjack Shack on the side of the road
A waitress counting tips feeling gypped what she was owed
A guy behind the counter with his heart on overload
A-eyeing that pie, about to explode

She says she’s gonna leave me (but ya know I don’t believe her)
She says she’s gonna leave me (but ya know I don’t believe her)

Then she’s gone—out on the run
Gone—ain’t nowhere to go
Gone—and honey where’s your tail?

She got the finest sass the south side of the line
Ya pinch her and she punch ya says, ‘I ain’t that kind!’
She’s been slinging that grease with her eyes all the time
But honey the motor's running and we’re running outta time

She says she’s gonna leave me (but ya know I don’t believe her)
She says she’s gonna leave me (but ya know I don’t believe her)

Then she’s gone—out on the run
Gone—ain’t nowhere to go
Gone—and honey where’s your tail?

Well we’re gonna find our way outta here one of these days
We’re gonna find our way outta here one of these days
We’re gonna find our way outta here one of these days

I’m heading on a bet out to Cali-forn-I-A
Just an all-night trucker in a fly by night trade
She’s been stashing all her tips for some rainy day
Well let’s spank that piggy bank hey whaddya say?

She says she’s gonna leave me (but ya know I don’t believe her)
She says she’s gonna leave me (but ya know I don’t believe her)

Then she’s gone—out on the run
Gone—ain’t nowhere to go
Gone—and honey there’s your tale

Poor Player Detroit, Michigan

Motor City folk rock Americana born of beverages, Poor Player takes to the stage with a hopped up grab bag of American riddles and laments. Saluting the guy flying a sign beside the highway exit, zigzagging through the post-industrial prairie, Poor Player is all about finding the roots beneath the rubble, the green beneath the ruin, the folk in the f*d up, & the beauty in the city gone to seed. ... more
