Mr. Rick Cardwell,
he's right over there in the corner.
There's some producers up in Nashville
that says,
boy, can't you stop writing anything
but lizards and sage songs,
can't you write something
with contemporary
Don't you know the
way you're doing it,
G
you're just pissing in the wind.
Now see, there's a contemporary relationship,
me and that producer.
