lyrics

I’m no folksinger babe but I got this old guitar
Well I can’t tell the difference between Wilco & Big Star
I put a capo on the 5th fret but I’ve never soundchecked at McCabe’s
I’m no folksinger babe

I’m no folksinger sorry I don’t have a heavy banjo
With a rusty high G under a sticker of Bill Monroe
I prefer my murder ballads to be passed down by Tupac or Dre
I’m no folksinger babe

No match stick on a 500 dollar hat
No pilates or yoga mat
I’ll never bend your ear or chew the fat
I ain’t Americana like that

I’m no folksinger babe- what a drag & such a bummer
I’ve never done a session with Emmylou Harris’ drummer
I’ve never been to Third Man or sipped moonshine in Jack White’s mancave
I’m no folksinger babe

I’m no folksinger dude I don’t raise pigs or goats
I’ve never wowed the crowd like Dan Bern or Steve Poltz
I don’t know a soul in Nashville who’s ever known my first or last name
I’m no folksinger babe

I don’t chew on toothpicks or vape
I can’t afford analogue tape
Never cut a ’45 or ’78

I’m no folksinger babe & I can pretty much guarantee
Ken Burns will never make a documentary on me
I don’t stick & poke or tear up when I hear Amazing Grace
Most times I confuse Townes with Blaze
I’m no folksinger babe
