In their country music videos, The Jeff Warren Johnston Band performs their classic-sounding, original country music in Austin, Texas. The mission of the JWJ Band is to please listeners longing for that "real" country music sound in the vein of traditional artists such as Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, David Allan Coe, Merle Haggard, George Jones, and Johnny Cash, while simultaneously paving new country roads. This particular song is inspired by honky tonk and rock legends like Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis, and rockabilly moguls the Stray Cats, in the spirit of classic drinking songs.
Jeff's dream is to land this tune on a Lone Star beer commercial.

The JWJ Band highly recommends: The Marshall Ford Swing Band, the Atomic Duo, the Love Leighs, Jack Wilson, Raina Rose, Terri Hendrix, Corrina's Dreamland Band, Guy Forsyth, Milk Drive, Sick's Pack, The Belleville Outfit, Junior Brown, Dale Watson, Robert Earl Keen, and the Bad Livers

LYRICS:

There was a time in my life when about myself I wasn't sure
But I opened up my heart to the Honky-Tonk and found the cure
I'd turn yellow like a lemon anytime some pretty women walked up
But I'm no longer stuck - Thangs are lookin' up

Well once upon a time I was trigger-shy and so demure
But I went back to school and I'm nobody's fool no more
My daddy left home when I was ten years old and that sucked
But I'm no longer stuck - Cause thangs are lookin' up

It wasn't too long ago I wasn't happy with the path I took
But I got a fresh start when I learned to take a second look
I grab a Lone Star beer anytime a little tear wells up
And I'm no longer stuck - Cause thangs are lookin' up

There's no stoppin' me now gonna keep on truckin' down the road
So come on pretty mama let me love ya like a Cassanove
Take your foolish pride and kick it to the side for good luck
Cause we're no longer stuck - And thangs are lookin' up

(C) 2009 Jeff Warren Johnston
