The Woods Boots

In the parking lot she had some news to share
She’d be throwing away clothes she didn’t wear
And her belly and our family would soon grow
And we’d start another life we’ve never known
We’re not out of the woods just yet
And this is something I won’t forget
You’re the biggest thing to happen since I bought my cowboy hat
At the Woods Boots in Colorado City
Your mother told me she was going to have a baby.
She donned her western boots and served as my DD
As we thought about the news we just received
Our life had changed in some magnificent sort of way
We thought of everything for you we started thinking of it that day
We’re not out of the woods just yet
And this is something I won’t forget
You’re the biggest thing to happen since I bought my cowboy hat
At the Woods Boots in Colorado City
Your mother told me she was going to have a baby.

Even Breathing
02:38

You lie awake at night and listen to me fall asleep
Your presence is so quiet I don’t know if you’re even breathing
You dream of friends you had and places that you fell in love
You wake yourself at night and wonder if you’re even breathing
That weight upon your stomach writhing ‘round and doing yoga
I’d like to think he’s showing off and shrugging his tiny shoulders
Sometimes he’s awfully quiet and we sit close and hold steady vigil
And I can’t hear or feel to tell whether we are even breathing
You listen for the heartbeat—wondering if it’s your own
The rhythm of the feeling it cycles on and on
I don’t know if I’m even breathing
Waiting in the family room
Fold out single chair
Even when you’re not talking
All they talk about is your hair
And you’re screaming
Don’t we know you’re even breathing

Momma

She makes the grass grow
Paints the color in the trees
I can hear her when the wind blows
sounds like an ocean memory
She lifts the sun in the evening
Just a moment till it goes
I can see her when I’m dreaming
I can feel her next to spring
Momma, you are so good
Momma, you are so good to me
Fingerprints are on the window
Rain is gathering at the door
She takes the towel that the dog used
It’s lying crumpled on the floor
Trash is strewn across the bedroom
Drawers are hanging by a pull
She’s the reason that it’s beautiful
She’s the reason that it’s cool.
Momma, you are so nice
Momma, you make things so nice
Momma you so kind
Momma you are so good to me
Momma, you are so good
Momma, you are so good to me
She makes the grass grow
I can hear her when the wind blows
She lifts the sun in the evening
I can see her when I’m dreaming

Daddy Smells
02:41
|

Something smells like gasoline
A stolen car abandoned at the scene
Is it me or does something reek?
Chicken feathers in the teeth of geek
Daddy smells!
He smells like hell!
Daddy smells
He don’t smell well
He smells like vinegar or something obscene
kind of dangerous but not that mean
He smells like business and computer dust
Faint whiff of paint supplies and iron rust
Daddy smells like beer and smoke
The kind of guy who laughs at racist jokes
Is he nervous, does he carry a gun?
Does he have problems that he can’t outrun?
What keeps him up at night awake in bed?
A bit of a fit of existential dread.
Daddy runs, but he can't hide
From the thing he's got thats rotting inside, Daddy Smells!

Guy Dog, defender of family
Guy Dog, creator of anarchy
Guy Dog
He sat in a cage until one day
A lady came in took him away
The beast is so wonderful and magical
A furry houdini
Guy Dog, your fur is on everything
Guy Dog, you search with Microsoft Bing
Guy Dog, listen when we shall sing
GUY DOG!!!!
You battle the vermin, alert us to strangers
You unwittingly seem to create more danger
You get dirt in the bed and don’t seem to care for my comfort
Guy Dog, sometimes you come home and stink
Guy Dog, you often drive me to drink
Guy Dog, you left your dishes in the sink
GUY DOG!!!!!
And we’re glad you don’t roam
Far away from your home
To find your real family
Guy Dog: Barking Insanity
Guy Dog: Frightened on New Year's Eve
Guy Dog: Rolls Over for a Treat
Guy Dog: Licker of Lotion Feet
Guy Dog: Mustering Energy
Guy Dog: Dynamic Personality
GUY DOG!!!!
