21.PROPERTY TAX BLUES by f.wilt

Neotraditional country with twangy lap steel and lead guitar trading melodic intro and solo breaks over pedal steel, acoustic rhythm guitar, banjo, piano, harmonica, and pulsing bass; fast high-tempo relentless country drive, warm twangy male baritone with close male harmonies, dry close-miked drums and a rootsy, uncluttered mix

{intro - twangy lap steal guitar with super twangy lead guiitar solo}

{verse}
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
JUST AS HAPPY AS A LARK
THE SUN WAS SLOWLY COMING UP
FADING OUT THE DARK

I DRANK MY MORNING COFFEE
THIS LIFE IS VERY GOOD 
THEN ALONG CAME THE MAILMAN
INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

{CHORUS}}
NOW I'M RICH?! BUT...
jUST DIDN'T KNOW IT!
THE BICYCLE THAT I RIDE,
AND THE CLOTHES I WEAR
I'M SURE WILL NEVER SHOW IT!
A LETTER FROM THE  COUNTY 
MORE  TAXES I MUST PAY
MY LAND HAS RAISED IN VALUE
INCREASING DAY BY DAY

{VERSE} 
THE MEDICINES WHICH NEED TO LIVE
WILL SURELY HAVE TO WAIT
A SLICE OF BREAD 
I CANNOT BUY
I HAVE AN EMPTY PLATE
WE STRUGGLE  AND WE SCRAPE
JUST TO PAY OUR TAXES
WE GOT NO FANCY CELL PHONES 
NO MACHINES FOR THE FAXES

{CHORUS}
NOW I'M RICH?! BUT...
jUST DIDN'T KNOW IT!
THE BICYCLE THAT I RIDE,
AND THE CLOTHES I WEAR
I'M SURE WILL NEVER SHOW IT!
A LETTER FROM THE  COUNTY
MORE  TAXES I MUST PAY
MY LAND HAS RAISED IN VALUE
INCREASING DAY BY DAY

{ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO}
{BANGJO SOLO} {HARMONICA SOLO}

{BRIDGE} - MODULATE}}
IF I COULD ONLY SELL  AT THE PRICE THAT'S ASSESSED
 
MY FINAL TWILIGHT YEARS SURELY WOULD BE  BLESSED

THIS OLD WORLD WE COULD TRAVEL IN A LAVISH STYLE

BUT THAT ASSESSOR MISSED THE MARK BY A COUNTY MILE

{VERSE} 
THIS BICYCLE THAT I RIDE, 
CAUSEE I CANT AFFORD THE GAS
WOULD BE TRADED IN FOR A LINCOLN 
GIVING ME SOME CLASS
BUT THIS LITTLE PIECE OF LAND 
THEY SAY IS MADE OF GOLD
FOR THE ONE HALF THE LISTEDD VALUE WORTH
I KNOW CANNOT BE SOLD
