Best version evah.
With wonderful vocals by Sweet Pea Atkinson
Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense…and that ain’t right
As is Elvis Costello’s “anywhere you hang your head is home.”
Heard some talk Papa doing some storefront preachin’
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he’d be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
Talking about saving souls and all the time leechin’
Dealing in dirt, and stealing in the name of the Lord
(We were getting closer and closer to a mashup, and I figured, hey, go for it!)
David Lindley and El Rayo-X do a nice cover of this tune.
