Pretty Pretty Bad

about

Driving rockabilly song that I wrote in the wake of actually biting it hard on the ice and then having car trouble in the same week.

lyrics

I fell down real hard a few days ago, I couldn’t get up I just laid in the snow
I hit the frozen ground like a sack of stones, felt like a bus ran over my bones
I went to the doctor to see what I had, he said ooooooh
That’s pretty pretty bad

Damn car wouldn’t start the battery is dead
I’d fix it myself but that’s above head
Raised up the hood, but it made no sense
But if I fix this thing I can’t pay the rent
So I’m walking to work and my wife is mad
Ooooh, that’s pretty pretty bad


Yeah it’s bad on the left, bad on the right. Bad down the middle, even worse at night
Try to escape it where I lay my head, but let me tell you buddy it’s bad in bed

Got a few cards with some birthday dough, a little spending cash that I can call my own
So I found my way down to the 2nd hand store, when it caught my eye what this money was for
The best shiny red guitar this boy ever had
I said , whoooo…. That’s pretty pretty bad

Pretty pretty bad, whooo, pretty pretty bad, whooo, pretty pretty bad whoo
Pretty pretty bad
Got a red guitar and a wife that’s mad I said
Ooooooh that’s pretty pretty bad.
