Trent Turner playing his song "Billy Badass" (part 1) March 2010

Part 1 of Trent Turner playing his song "Billy Badass" March 2010
Lyrics:
(verse 1)
From the dirt roads of the delta through a windy city riff
It passed through the hands of a man in Seattle to a boy living in Oak Cliff
I did not hear the music then but I damn sure hear it now
People try to tell me that I shouldn't try to play it but I think I'll play it anyhow.
Robert Johnson played the Crossroads
Stevie Ray played Crossfire
All the Kings in between kept the music mean
Rolling off the wood and the wire.
Robert J to Stevie Ray,
Man that torch was passed,
Man I'm gonna be the one I'm gonna make that burning last.
(chorus):
My name is Billy Badass
I come from Austin Texas,
My city still breathes and believes in its own kind of rock and roll,
And I don't know just how far
I can make it playing blues on my sad guitar
But it's a damn sure bet that I can get to the bottom of my soul.
(verse 2):
So here I am in this downtown bar,
Making music once again on my sad guitar,
Hoping everybody likes the way I play.
The bartender says "You're too loud"
I said "Hey man did you notice the size of the crowd?
You can make a lot of money if you just stay out of my way".
Open the windows let the sound on the street
I brought a band of my own and we're bringing the beat.
Everybody's getting down to the sound of my town and my band.
I do things a little differently so please understand,
if I try to walk on water or swim on the land
Don't you know I'm a man who likes to do it to my own plan.
(repeat chorus)
