Silver Spoon
written by Che Miller performed by The Mother Corn Shuckers
We were just running the streets , after the sun went down
Never had to worry about, the things you do now
We’d stay out all night, high on the town
Lucky if we made it home, just before dawn
Daddy always said, to find true love
Don’t get caught up, in all the other stuff
Go find a woman, that’ll treat you right
Don’t get caught with one, that’ll leave you in the night
Chorus:
I wasn’t raised with a silver spoon
I was raised on whiskey and real good tunes
I wasn’t raised with a silver spoon
I was raised on whiskey and love that’s true
Some people are just handed, everything they need
Never lift a finger, and filled with greed
Take what they want, from those in need
Filling up their pockets, taken from you and me
How’d you get so entitled, how’d you go down that road
Couldn’t get enough of that, good old rock n roll
What you need son, is a little bit of love
Maybe some Rolling Stones, to fill up your cup
Not much time in this life, to mess around
Make some good choices, and your life will be found
Give a little handout, to those who are down
Love those around you, and love will be abound

Calling It Home
Written by Che Miller performed by The Mother Corn Shuckers
Shifting into low gear, hope I get out of here,
rutts in the road, pulling a heavy load
going slow steady is the only way to go,
getting off the mountain and getting back home
Chorus:
I got a 35 footer and baby Im bringing it home
I got a 35 footer and we'll rock it all night long
There ain't nothing like, a single wide,
Make you feel so, good inside
Hook it up baby, lets find our dream
Silver streak, airstream, Don't it make you want to cream
Get out the Astro turf pull out the lawn chairs
get the pink flamingos and put them right there
Sipping on cold beer enjoy the trailer atmosphere
we could take it anywhere or stay right here
We could take it to the valley, we could take it to the coast
We could take it to mountains, we could take it to live oak
In through the front door out through the back door
trailer is a shakin and everybody's dancing

TIP OF THE HAT
written by Che Miller performed by The Mother Corn Shuckers
Like a technicolor dream, he walks into the scene
shiny shoes, glitter vest, lots of toys, what a mess
days are gone,
nights are long, gonna try and pass this test
one for you one for me, lets just take em and we’ll see
all the colors inside, all the clouds how they fly,
all the dreams that we have, all the love thats gone bad
all the love that is true, all the love for me and you
Chorus
I think we’ve all gone crazy, maybe its just me
I think we’ve all gone crazy maybe its the mercury
with a grin he starts to spin, with a trick he does his shtick
moving motions become oceans, a cup of tea is this reality
to believe the things you see, all that is to be free
all that is you and me, all that is love you see
well tip of the hat, what do you think of that
what you gonna say what you gonna do
got no reason to stay, got no reason to go
little box speaks to you, tiny clocks scream at you
hard pour corn, love forlorn, sex and scorn my mind is torn
sound so loud ,lights so bright, everything is in sight
one with you, one with me, everything is reality
sun will rise another day, wash the whole night away
what you take with you you see, is your new reality

ALL IN written by Che Miller performed by The Mother Corn Shuckers
Won't you be the queen in my straight flush
Won't you be the one who calls my bluff
Won't you be the one who's my good luck
Won't you be the one to steal my love
Chorus
I'm no good Cheating at cards
I'm terrible at cheating on you
You help me stand on my two feet,
Keep me from playing a real bad beat,
My hand is good but yours is better
, Makes me want to write you a long love letter
Your the ace up my sleeve,
You stack the deck when I'm in need,
You keep me from being the cheating kind,
You raise the anti and keep me in line
You might think that I'm a player, I'm no good at playing you
The hands been dealt
The bets are are made
, It's time to straddle
Baby I'm all in

Fire Still Burns,
written by Che Miller performed by The Mother Corn Shuckers
4am fires still burning on the mountain
broken down truck on the side of the road
must have run to get out of here
running for their life in fear
4am….. and the fire still burns
late night highway trying to make it home
straight black coffee and the radio’s on
600 miles to go
on this lonely late night road
4am and the fire still burns
Chorus:
hope these wheels make it home
get me back where I belong
few hundred miles to go
on this lonely late night road
4am and the fire still burns
last night show she came to tame the lions
when she walked in she was looking for love
grab you by your hand
playing with your wedding band
4am and the fire still burns
hope these wheels make it home
get me back where I belong
few hundred miles to go
on this lonely late night road
4am and the fire still burns
whiskey bottle rolling around in back
lines on the road seem to keep me on track
can’t sleep don’t even try
soon it’ll be sunrise
4am and the fire still burns
hope these wheels make it home
get me back where I belong
few hundred miles to go
on this lonely late night road
4am and the fire still burns

TRADITION
written by Che Miller & Leo Mathews (Miss Leo)
performed by The Mother Corn Shuckers
Will you be the one who wakes me in the morning
Will you be the one to hold me at night
Won’t you be the one who shares my coffee
Won’t you be the one to drink with me at night
Hang on the couch on a Friday night
You and me and the fire light
Count on you to fix whats broken
Count on you to make it all alright
Chorus
If you my dear would give your permission
I’d like to be your one tradition
Travel the world see the northern lights
From the California coast to the eastern skies
To look in your eyes would be so nice
And we go together like beans and rice
High on the mountains we have crossed
You take the lead when I get lost
Take my hand and carry my load
I’ll take yours and welcome you home
We could run around like Bonnie and Clyde
Robbing banks in the broad daylight
Have ourselves a shootout with the law
Head off to the mountains and never get caught
Maybe buy a boat and surf around the world
I’ll be your captain you my surfer girl
Sit and watch the sunset from the sky
I’ll be your husband you be my wife

FORK IN THE ROAD
written by Che Miller performed by The Mother Corn Shuckers
Longhair playing on the radio
New orlean’s maybe thats where I should go
Loaded up looking for a place to be
Got my guitar thats all i really need
Chorus
When I saw that fork in the road
I didn’t know which way to go
I liked the way that she moved,
She liked the way that i grooved
Her lips tender and sweet,
Kind of girl I’d like to meet
Chorus
When I saw that fork in the road
I wasn’t sure which way to go
My baby says that she loves me so,
Smile so sweet tell by the way she glows
Looking in her eyes I see the whole world,
Lips so sweet wouldn’t want another girl
Chorus
When I see that fork in the road
I know which way to go
I can say I’ve had a good life
, Sweet kids and a wonderful wife
Some things are just meant to be, Loving life and loving you and me
Chorus
When I see that fork in the road
I sure know which way to go

COLD BLOOD
written by Che Miller performed by The Mother Corn Shuckers
Burnberry was an evil man, he took another life
The golden hills of San Miguel were filled with blood that night
First he went for Mr. Reed several blows with an axe
Indian stepped into help and stabbed him with his knife
Chorus
The axe came down again and again
The axe came down This was the end
The axe came down again and again
They stepped inside and took the lives of the Women and the cook
Then under the beds there were two heads of the children they overtook
When they were done they drank some wine while looking for the gold
Then piled the bodies in the shop and burnt them in the cold
There were others that deceased during that dreadful night
Ghosts still wander the halls of the mission late at night
All because they heard of gold they thought it was their right
The blood did flow from the childrens skulls they killed eleven that night
They headed south through pismo beach Mr. Price was on their trail
Caught up with them on the coast the posse gave them hell
Some were shot and drowned trying to swim away with the gold
Some were tried and put to bullet in Santa Barbara old

White Trash Sunday written by Che Miller performed by The Mother Corn Shuckers
Sunday Morning and I feel like shit,
Gonna drink another beer gonna take another hit,
Heads still hurting and my body still aches,
Wish I had a shot of shine
Everybody walks in says lets cook some food, Start skinning those potatoes and start the barbq, Gotta a lot of corn and a big slab of meat
, Gonna eat good tonight
Chorus: Me and the boys and a good old white trash Sunday
Aint got no reason to worry why My baby’s gone and I aint gotta work on Monday
Yeah me and the boys and a good old white trash Sunday
Hanks in the backyard with his 22,
shooting at the chickens for his chicken stew
, he’s drunk and he’s tired but he knows what to do, just let that boy cook his chicken stew
Charlies mashing taters and he’s still messed up, He’s fallen down and he cant get up
, Put it in the pot and mix it all up,
Next thing you know he’s saying pucker up,
Dans in back room in his big red chair,
rolling up doobies under all that hair,
takes a big toke like he just don’t care,
look at the posters through the smoke filled air

People come and people go
Some you know and some you don’t

Weren’t you with those other people
At the show the other night
Chorus

EVIDENCE
written by Che Miller performed by The Mother Corn Shuckers
Shotgun shells, finger prints,
Stolen money and a fender dent
Bodies laid out all over the floor,
Think it’s time to make a run for the door
Chorus
Getting rid of the evidence
Getting rid of the evidence
Getting rid of the evidence
Before it all comes down
Broken beer bottles, tipped over glass,
Shiny new car, a tattoo on her ass
Everything’s fuzzy, don’t remember a thing,
Wedding dress and a brand new ring
Mirror on the table, bindle on the floor,
Little white lines, you remember more
Busted tv set and a broken guitar,
How’d I ever let it get this far
Double malted scotch and a cigarette,
She had the smell of trouble on her breath
Down at the bar buying drinks,
Drunken comfort and hotel keys
Slot machines and lucky sevens,
One hell of a way to try and get to heaven
Red high heels and a skinny dress,
Feels like I’m being put to the test
Panties in your pocket
Lipstick on your neck
Stumbling in the morning
With perfume on your breath
