Field Notes…

A repository for all my poetry and lyrics along with some analysis and context setting.

Spade Cooley-The Wirms; Wirms III (2023)

Shame on you
I’ll take the crime
I drink to see
You see she’s lying

Country me
I’m crying cause I’m batshit
Give jitterbugs
Your dancing cause you’re batshit

It was me, it’s okay
I’m king of this, you’re blown away
Western swing
Bend your partner backwards
Cowboys be
Heroes

Adored
Not ready
Forlorn
He’s heavy

Smoke, smoke, smoke
That cigarette
I do things
Everyone forgets
Dance, dance, dance
You’re smiling cause you’re batshit
At the show
A benefit of talent

Tv, film
In my day
Good ol’ boy
Rock n roll’s the same
Pardon me
Everybody’s batshit
Not insane
Just cool

Adored
Not ready
Forlorn
He’s heavy

Don’t rue the day
Or hide your face
They come to you
Just explain
I feel bad
I did it cause I’m batshit
Little genius
Frustrated and a sad man

Nothing new
I’ll just say
The bible says
It goes away
Nothing new
They love it when you’re batshit
Not troubled over you

Adored
Not ready
Forlorn
He’s heavy
