Stompin' Tom Road
Written & Performed by Duncan Wells
There’s a plywood board upon the floor,
an’ he pounds ‘er with his heel
the byes are drunk as lards an’ skunks, an’ all the young girls squeal
he sings his song of right an’ wrong, of spuds an’ cloggeroos.
“Hey buddy, ya know, you ain’t half bad! I think we’ll name a street after you.”
Stompin’ Tom Road
there he goes
with another big load
he’s lookin’ real good
he got a cowboy hat
he got a big ol’ hat
an’ a heart of gold
he got a heart a’ gold
got an’ ol’ guitar
an’ he can play that thang
got a plywood board
an’ a big ol’ boot
he's singin’ a song about Skinner’s Pond
walkin’ down Stompin’ Tom Road.
He's no one's fool he's been to school an' got a Hard Knocks Degree
from every town he's bummed around from bars and jamborees
an' he won't change or give a good dang twang 'bout the purdy little things in life
"Hey buddy come 'ere and have a look up there. That's my name on that sign!"
Chorus
It’s Saturday the gig got paid, so he buys himself a beer
he looks around an’ he wonders how in the hell that he ever got here
he takes a drink an’ then he thinks there ain’t nothin’ he would rather be
"Yeah, Margo might have the cargo bye but they just named a street after me."
Chorus
When everthing’s been said an’ done like it’s all been done before
he’ll hit the road, guitar an’ hat an’ his big ol’ plywood board
cos’ he ain’t got time for stupid rhymes or business suits wit’ songs
he’ll pack’er up in a pick up truck an’ like that, bye he’ll be gone.
Chorus
