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

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

This is a rodeoclip from the Bull Riding competition in Livingston, MT on July 2, 2010.
Some of the best Cowboys in the country travel far & wide to compete at the various rodeos around Western states over July 4th weekend.
I heard people saying that the livestock won the night on the way out of the rodeo…afterwards we went downtown to The Mint for music, drinks & poker…many large belt buckles in the Montana crowd.
I had a BLAST at the rodeo with Sally Z, Jigger, DFSimpson & the whole MT Crew!

TEXAS GALS
Yee haw y’all
I know a place where the stars are big and bright.
Trucks, tumbleweeds, and strong Texas accent.
Riding..on horses, having fun in south padre
The cowboys break their necks, and you know they’re looking your way
You can see we’re the best, and we can even separate from the rest
Once you party with us, you’ll be saying Y’all
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Yo those Texas girls, they’re unforgettable
Cowboy boots, and jean shorts on top
Redneck skin, so red, you’ll wonder what the hell?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yo those Texas girls, they’re undeniable
Big teased hair we got it on lock
Texas represent, now round your cattle up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The Alamo is a big Texas landmark.
Did you know? We can fly, our flags right next to the US? That’s right
From Austin to Houston, San Anton and right back home. Better saddle up, cuz those Texas girls ride the rodeos
(Chorus)
Yo we got it all Texas girls from wall to wall
From south fork to El Paso grab your cold one lets toast
Bordering countries yea that’s us, lone star state don’t cause a fuss
The girls don’t bore, she drives a ford
Lone star state, please don’t hate
Governor Perry? Yea
Country music’s where its at, specially with my ten gallon hat
We got a beach, we got a scene..Belt buckles here are our bling bling
Rio Grande, our own pan Han…man those chicks are way too tan
Round it out, have some fun…those Texas girls are number one
(Chorus)
Oh Texas (the stars at night)
Oh Texas (one and indivisible)

Always something going on with Richard, whether its a song or a joke. Check out his outrageous belt buckle. He has a collection these buckles that he makes from the hubcaps of semi-tractors and other things. Big buckles for a mighty big man with a mighty big heart.

This was an interview that really shook me. Personally, I felt our politics are very different, yet our hope for a better tomorrow and our realization that it’s gonna take more than voting to get us back to the idealistic America of yesteryear was, well refreshing… it’s the first moment of the trip I felt an American unity, not the country America, but the people of America.
We ran into this fella while passing thru the ‘belt buckle of the bible belt’, Lubbock Texas. His name escapes me at the moment, I’ll have it for the book and film release, you can bet on that. Distributed by Tubemogul.
