Big Hat No Cattle Randy Newman

Since I was a child
I've tried to be what I'm not
I've lied and I've enjoyed it all my life
I lied to my dear mother
to my sisters and my brother
and now I'm lying to my children and my wife
Big Hat, no cattle
Big head, no brain
Big snake, no rattle
I forever remain
big hat, no cattle
I knew from the start
Big boat, no paddle
Big belly, no heart
Can't remember why I do it,
Oh, maybe I can.
An honest man these days is hard to find.
I only know we're living in an unforgiving land.
And a little lie can buy some real big piece of mind.
Oftimes I wondered what might I have become,
Had I but buckled down and really tried.
But when it came down to the wire
I called my family to my side
Stood up straight, threw my head back and I lied, lied,lied
Big hat, no cattle
Big shoes, well you know...
Big horse, no saddle
He goes wherever I go
Big hat, no cattle
Right from the start
Big guns, no battle
Big belly, no heart
When it came down to the wire
I called my little family to my side
Stood up straight, threw my head back and I lied, lied,lied
lied, lied, lied
Big hat, no cattle
Big head, no brain
Big snake, no rattle
I forever remain
Big hat, no cattle
I knew from the start
Big boat, no paddle
Big belly, no heart
Big boat, no paddle
Big belly, no heart

@grannyvonng click on the 'show more' and read the lyrics. 'Thinking of you'. ; )

I dedicate this song to @grannyvonngx. XD

@jdpullmyfinger More like the ballad of George Bush-league. John Kerry used the phrase "All hat, no cattle" to describe him, and I sent these lyrics to everyone I know.

Any chance you could post the song "Shame" from this album. I can only get a really bad live recording of it.
Thanks,
Bob

@TheGuitarver No chance! My computer is running out of space. But if you really wanna listen and you can't buy it, go and see if it's on grooveshark or get some file downloading thing like soulseek - easy to use - and download.
