lyrics

Must Have Said The Wrong Thing c Chuck LeMonds 2007

I try to do right every where I can
Don’t want no trouble from any woman or man
Just being honest or a slip of the tongue
Can bring out the devil and get you stung.

Must have said the wrong thing
Must have said the wrong thing
Must have said the wrong thing
At the right time.

We got married in a fit of passion
Hotter than closing time on wall street
Burned a lot of bridges to get to you
Had to swim some muddy waters when it came unglued.

Ain’t had no gigs since way back when
Called all the clubs and my promoter friends
They told me long stories about how hard it’s been
And said call next year and we’ll try to fit you in.

Hey, Mister LeMonds we’re gonna blacklist you
Been talking bad about Bush and Mr. Cheney too
Rumsfield is shaken by your revelations
Better watch out for unforeseen complications.

Things could have been worse
Things could have been better
I was just happy to be alive when I got the letter
Tax man wants to know how I live on so little
I said, ”That’s a secret man….that’s your riddle!”

In times like these, the music and songwriting of Chuck LeMonds has the effect of a soothing balsam for the soul, or that of a plow turning over fresh soil in a field waiting to be planted in spring. ... more
