Mathews Pipedream

Yes, I know, it's one more post about BlogFest. Deal with it. You might even like it! Play the video and read the new lyrics, below. Sing along raucously.




She was a level-headed blogger on the road to alcohol
And I was just a blogger, far from home and awfully tall
Well we loaded her Suburban
With lotsa beer and Diet Coke
Yeah, she gave me some cheese and a stack of CDs
And these are the words she spoke

Chorus:
Blow up your T.V., throw away your paper
Put away the laptop and the phone
Sit out in the garden, eat a lot of crab cakes
Blog all about it once you're home

Well, we drove around the county with our cameras going wild
Eating chips and drinking vino like it's goin' outta style
Well, we hung around the hot tub and we laughed 'til we turned blue
Yeah we sang our song all night long, tellin' us what to do

Chorus:
Blow up your T.V., throw away your paper
Build us a bonfire, photograph a storm
Do a lotta lounging, eat a lotta junk food
Try to get a signal for your phone

Well, I was tired and happy and about to leave that place
When just as we were leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said, "I'll be back here next year"
She said, "Do we have to wait 'til July?"
And to this very day we've been blogging away
And here is the reason why

Chorus:
We blew up the T.V., threw away the paper
Went to Virginia, down on the coast
Showed up a Come-Here, tryin' to be a From-Here
To the Blogfest bloggers, raise a toast

Original song "Spanish Pipedream" by John Prine; my apologies for tarnishing his brilliance.

Thanks to my Blogfest road trip buddy, Thelma, or was it Louise? Meg from Soup Is Not a Finger Food! And thanks for all the fun, my Blogfest buddies. Here's to all y'all!

You're cute, Mizz Foolery. Clever, too. If I ever grow up, I wanna be you. Or Annie Lennox. Or a lottery winner. I'm not picky.
