The Talkin' Song Repair Blues - Country Heroes[00:00:00]
The mechanic raised up from under my hood[00:00:06]
His head and said This ain't good[00:00:08]
Your timin' belt's done shrunk one size too small[00:00:10]
And those spark plug wires are a little too long[00:00:15]
And your main prodsponder's nearly gone[00:00:18]
Your injector ports are stripped and that ain't all[00:00:20]
Your torque converter's runnin' low on torque[00:00:25]
And that water pump's nearly down a quart[00:00:27]
We caught it all in time so you're in luck[00:00:30]
He said I've got the time and I've got the parts[00:00:34]
Just give me the word and I'm ready to start[00:00:37]
I think we can bring her in for-uh eight-hundred bucks[00:00:39]
But don't be downhearted I can fix it for you sonny[00:00:44]
It won't take too long it'll just take money[00:00:48]
Then he said Aren't you that songwriter guy[00:00:56]
I said Yes I am[00:00:59]
He said So am I[00:01:00]
He set down and played me a song by the grease rack[00:01:02]
When he finished singin' he gave me a smile[00:01:06]
And I closed my eyes and pondered a while[00:01:09]
He said What do you think[00:01:11]
Now don't hold nothin' back[00:01:13]
Well I gave him my most sorrowful look[00:01:16]
And I said This song's got a broken hook[00:01:18]
I can order you a new one from Nashville[00:01:20]
But it won't be cheap[00:01:22]
And I know you've been using a cut-rate thesaurus[00:01:25]
Cause your adverbs have backed up into your chorus[00:01:27]
Now your verse is runnin' on verbs[00:01:30]
That are way too weak[00:01:32]
But don't be downhearted I can fix it for you sonny[00:01:35]
It won't take too long it'll just take money[00:01:40]
I said Hold on friend[00:01:48]
Now I'm not through[00:01:49]
I hate to be the one to give you this news[00:01:50]
But your whole[00:01:53]
Melodic structure's done worked itself loose[00:01:53]
It's got so many dotted eighth notes in it[00:01:57]
I'd keep her under fifty beats per minute[00:02:00]
I mean that's just me talkin' it's really up to you[00:02:02]
You've got a bad safety problem[00:02:07]
With that dominant chord with the augmented fifth[00:02:09]
Just see how dangerously high it raises you up[00:02:12]
So just go on over and work on my car[00:02:16]
And I'll sit here by the fan and chances are[00:02:19]
I can straighten this thing out for eight-uh[00:02:21]
Nine-hundred bucks[00:02:25]
But be don't down hearted I can fix it for you sonny[00:02:28]
It won't take too long[00:02:33]
You guessed it[00:02:40]
It may be a hit[00:02:43]
I like it[00:02:45]
