Rebel Flag Belt Buckles

The Jeff Warren Johnston Band performs two of their classic-sounding, country rock songs at a popular honky tonk 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 country/rock artists with a bad-boy image such as David Allan Coe, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Hank Williams Jr.. Spittin’ was written shortly after listening to the Ween hit “Piss Up a Rope.” The “Buck You” spark was fired by a belt buckle Jeff saw at a popular western- wear clothing outlet.

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:

Spittin’ Pissin’ Cussin’ & Fightin’:

I’ve been spittin’ & pissin’ & cussin’ & fightin’ all night
Cause baby where I’m from that’s how it’s done
If you wanna get it done right

I’ll be spittin’ & pissin’ & cussin’ & fightin’ all night
Been kickin’ up a storm since the day I was born
And red tequilin’ till I’m feelin’ all right

I’m the kind of man walks in without a plan
Walks out with a deputy’s wife
What do you know before we’re barely out the door
Makin’ love within an inch of our life

I don’t get close to too many folks
And beside the fact it takes a lot of time
Between my drinkin’ pals and my goodnight gals
The lines that I draw are mighty fine

Cause I’m spittin’ & pissin’ & cussin’ & fightin’ all night
Cause baby where I’m from that’s how it’s done
If you wanna get it done right

I’ll be spittin’ & pissin’ & cussin’ & fightin’ all night
And I’ll be raisin’ when they drag me to jail
And breakin’ out before the mornin’ light

I like a little jazz when I dream about the past
And you know I gotta rock it when I roll
But if I get enough of this honkey-tonk stuff
May the devil have mercy on my soul

Cause I’m a redneck intellect dealin’ from a cold deck
Hard drivin’ S.O.B.
And if you bring a guitar up into this bar
You better play some country music just for me

Cause I’m spittin’ & pissin’ & cussin’ & fightin’ all night
And baby where I’m from that’s how it’s done
If you wanna get it done right
I’ll be spittin’ & pissin’ & cussin’ & fightin’ all night
Been kickin’ up a storm from the day I was born
And red tequilin’ till I’m feelin’ all right

(C) 2009 Jeff Warren Johnston

Buck You:

Well if you don’t like the way I’m sangin’
And if you don’t like the thangs I’m playin’
There’s a mighty fine solution to your troubles boy
Tried & true

It’s still a free country if you have the inclination
Take your gimpy little hand and change the radio station
Let your high horse pay for your dues – and Buck You
‘Cause your never gonna change my tune – so Buck You

There must be somethin’ more important in your life for you to handle
Than to leave nasty comments on my Youtube channel
I’m just tryin’ to make a livin’ while I’m givin’ back and sangin’ the blues

So if you don’t like the way my hips are swayin’
And if you don’t like the twangs I’m bangin’
Let your high horse pay for your dues – and Buck You

Well half the people in this bar have done time in prison
So you better shut your mouth
Let ‘em dance and let ‘em listen
‘Cause most of our mamas could kick you till your black and blue
And I can’t promise that you won’t get shot
By a pistol-packin’ redneck in the parkin’ lot
So get your loafers off this country line floor –
There’s the door – Buck You

So if you don’t like the way my hips are swayin’
And if you don’t like the thangs I’m sayin’
There’s a mighty fine solution to your troubles boy
Tried and true

If you don’t like songs about alcohol and exes
You should drive your fancy Lexus
Way the outta Texas
Let your high horse pay for your dues – and Buck You
‘Cause you’re never gonna change our tune – so Buck You

Yeah – You done tried to milk a bull
Now I’m gunnin’ for ya

Lyrics / Song-text:
Hold your love, my dear,
They sent a message, this morning, twas clear,
For I will sail the seven seas,
Fight for my country yeah it would seem,
Will you wait, for me, my dear?
And if I return, from front line duty,
There will be bells galore in spring,
And oh no dont cry, my love, for I will try,
My very best for you and I,
If you wait, for me, my dear.

Drive baby drive, take a left, take a right,
Show your true colours, Were like strangers in the night,
Lets brim the tank full, theres a roadtrip in store and,
Buckle your belt yeah, lets head for the moors,
Head for the moors, head for the moors.

Town after town, saw a clothes garment fly,
Come the end of the world, we had both become shy,
And in the bright, city lights, came a dare unto me,
So we chased round the minster going, Starkers and free,

Starkers and free, yeah ee yeah
Starkers and free!

Were sewing the seed, the never say never dream,
Who knows, this could be,
The never say never, the never say never,
Dream, Oh its a dream.

Smile baby smile, once, in a while,
Wont you opt to be an optimist on the long green mile,
For the devil is a doubt, that burns a conflict in me,
So let the rain pour down, and the confidence free,
Confidence free, confidence free!

Were sewing the seed, the never say never dream,
Who knows, this could be, The never say never,
Oh oh oh, the never say never, Well well,

Were sewing the seed, the never say never dream,
Who knows, this could be, The never say never,
Oh oh oh, the never say never,
Dream, Dream.
