BUDRICK

by Chad Fontaine

Now, who is gonna be my eyes,
who is gonna be my ears,
who's gonna watch my gear
now that you're not here?!
Always quick with the joke
and quicker to lick your butt smoke
oh, Bud, oh Bud
why did you have to go?!
Oh Bud, oh, Bud, o no!

I had a dog, he was burly and buff,
but he just liked going for walks and stuff,
well, he once bit a poodle who thought she was tough,
the bitch just kept barking 'till he just had enough
so he jumped up and bit her right square in the face,
there was blood everywhere but it weren't his first taste.
The law came around and the man put him down
for biting the dog on the rich side of town.

Now, who is gonna be my eyes,
who is gonna be my ears,
who's gonna watch my gear
now that you're not here?!
Always quick with the joke
and even quick in licking butt-smoke
Oh, Bud, oh Bud
why did you have to go!?
Oh Bud, oh Bud, o no!
 

 

101 AND 101

by Chad Fontaine

I met her down at the liquor store,
she was a two bit good for something junkie whore,
She said: "Hey, guy do you have any change?"
I said: "No."
She said: "Hey,what's you name?"
I said: "Chad"
"Hey, Chad, how you're doing?"
"Not bad."
I went inside and I grabbed my beer.
When I came out that door and looked to my right
she was still standing there,
she looked kind of tired and a little upset
so i offered her a drag of my cigarette
and said: "Hey, where you gotta go?"
I said: "I am heading back down to Hundred and First."
She said: "I had 45 bucks an hour ago."
But she spent it on dope and it made her sick,
but with 45 more she would turn the trick,
I said: "Oh! I see! Maybe you'd like to have a beer with me?"
She said: "I'd like to sit ad chat and have a beer,
but I can't have any money with you standing here."
I said: "OK, I'll be on my way."
So I headed back down to a Hundred and First
with a six pack of beer and a wicked thirst,
she asked: "A hundred and First?"
"That's right! A Hundred and First!"
"Let's go!"
So, we are heading down the street,
getting an evil eye from any girl or guy we would meet,
I said: "The cops are over-there, better hide your beer."
She said:"Fuck it, they all know me here!"
I said: "Alright!"
And we were out of sight.



CARRY ON

by Chad Fontaine

They won't employ me,
they would much rather destroy me,
well, the truth is I am better on my own.
They tell me I am deranged
from bumming change and riding trains
well, the truth is life is better on the road.

Carry on, carry on,
travel that old dusty road
before that road is overgrown!
Carry on, carry on,
travel that old dusty road
before you’re old and dead and gone!

They say I am lazy,
well, the truth is I am just crazy
about catching rides for free and writing songs.
They tell me that I am lonely,
well, the truth is I am just horny
so stay with me tonight and then I'm gone,

Carry on, carry on,
travel that old dusty road
before that road is overgrown!
Carry on, carry on,
travel that old dusty road
before you’re old and dead and gone!

Now, I am drunk and seeing double
and I’m looking for some trouble
so I find the fight and stand my ground strong.
He says he'd love to hurt me,
but won't touch me 'cause I am dirty
so I crack another beer and stagger home.

Stagger home, stagger home,
travel that old dusty road
before you’re old and dead and gone!
Stagger home, stagger home,
travel that old dusty road
before you’re old and dead and gone!

Carry on, carry on,
travel that old dusty road
before that road is overgrown!
Carry on, carry on,
travel that old dusty road
before you’re old and dead and gone!





THE LIFE WE HAD

by Chad Fontaine

I had to go
before I made you hate me,
but I'd love to know
what you've been doing lately,
It's so bad, I'm so mad
at the life we had.

I get up early
before the sun kicks out of fog
so my voice can carry
when I am calling for my dog.
He ain't much,
he's kind of small,
but he comes when I call.

Times were good, times were great,
but times were few,
times I love, times I hate
when I am with you.
It's so bad, I am so mad
at the life we had.
It's so bad, I am so mad
at the life we had.



WHY DID YOU HURT ME

by Chad Fontaine

Why did you hurt me

- I need to know, it's critical

cause I am miserable
Why IT couldn't be just me?
So pitiful, but you are beautiful...
Why would you lie

every time you cried?
You never told me,

you never told me why!
Why did you hurt me

- I need to know
because it's critical ...
Because
You left me all alone here
broken bottles and bruises...
Now, I can't go on,

I can't go home alone!
You left me all alone here
broken bottles and bruises...
You never told me,

you never told me why.

Why? What did I do?
With all the things

we've been through?

I was so good to you.

There were too many secrets
not so many regrets
and I am so upset, I am so upset!
 
Why? Oh, why do i wanna die?
Someone shoot me,

someone shoot me in my head!

Why did you hurt me

- I need to know
it's critical ...
Because you left me all alone here
broken bottles and bruises...
Now, I can't go on,

I can't go home alone.
You left me all alone here,
broken bottles and bruises...
You never told me,

you never told me why!
