lyrics

(verse 1)
I grabbed a pistol for a mic to sing
should of grabbed a diamond for my wife to bring
to you
so we
could live
eter-
nally in vain
Smacked me on the head with my uncle's shoe
grabbed my check from Ernie as a ball and threw
it out
the side
of the
old house
we bought with dimes

(pre-chorus)
spent my Wednesday making up to 20 bucks
wasted Thursday night sleeping on a bus
saw Friday morning when we left for Cleveland
found me dead in Jersey last Sunday evening

(chorus)
Call me Richard Crracken with a double r
I'm the vagabond who stole your grandma's car
I'm the rotten no-good raised outside the flats
smoking cigarettes we scavenged from the trash
I'm the devil dressed in converse shooting hoops
know my name and buy me something I can use

(verse 2)
I drink gasoline as a substitute
alcohol's expensive whats a man to do
with no
mo-ney
to spend
and none
to attain here
Slept behind pumpkin hiding from the fuzz
wanted for possession of the county judge
who took
my rights
my truth
but Hell
he did his job

(pre-chorus)
spent my Monday waking from an early grave
punched a hole in the casket when my Tuesday came
saw an angel laughing when the dirt fell in
watched my future twist from the muddy sand

(Chorus)
Call me Richard Crracken with a double r
I'm the vagabond who stole your grandma's car
I'm the rotten no-good raised outside the flats
smoking cigarettes we scavenged from the trash
I'm the devil dressed in converse shooting hoops
know my name and buy me something I can use

(Chorus)
Call me Richard Crracken I'm the best you see
Gambled down in Vegas won when I was three
shot a golden comet headed for the sun
lost a pretty lady when she pulled gun
hiding down in Cali keep it to yourself
know my name and keep my converse on in Hell

I have been playing music for the past 4 years now. Everything that music has given me to this point in my life would not be possible without the friends and family who have always supported me. I hope no matter what music the listener enjoys, they can see some value in what I do as a folk singer. For any contact information hit me up at:
