kurt's nightmare

Generally, I post once a week. Topics are randomly selected and depend mostly upon whether it's baseball season or not. Other topics will include sex, politics, old girlfriends, music, and whatever else pops into my little brain. If you'd like to read, or ignore, my blog about China: http://meidabizi.blogspot.com/

Name:
Location: Dayton, OH, Heard & McDonald Islands

I'm an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Dayton. I represent no one but myself, and barely do that. I'm here mostly by accident.

Oh No!!!

Yes. Another song. (Two warnings: one bathroom word, and one word in Yiddish. Perhaps you're like me, you think country music doesn't have enough Yiddish, nu?)


This Time I'm Going to Take It Lyin' Down


I've felt worse, and I've felt better,
But I can't stand this goddamn weather.
This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down.

I've been richer, I've been poorer,
You treat me like some kind of schnorrer,
This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down.

This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down,
Gonna chase every skirt I find in this here ol' town.
Juke joints and back seats of cars,
Honky-tonks, 4 a.m. bars,
This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down.

When I'm outta town you find a man,
It's my turn now, thank you ma'am,
This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down.

You took me from grapes to raisins,
Plums to prunes, but now I'm chasin'.
This time I'm gonna take it lyin down.

This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down,
Gonna chase every skirt I find in this here ol' town.
Juke joints and back seats of cars,
Honky-tonks, 4 a.m. bars,
This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down.

When you come home I might not be there,
Out havin' fun, at least my share,
This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down.

I hope you miss me, I hope you cry,
I can cheat too, so now you know why,
This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down.

This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down,
Gonna chase every skirt I find in this here ol' town.
Juke joints and back seats of cars,
Honky-tonks, 4 a.m. bars,
This time I'm gonna take it lyin' down.
