The first time i heard Townes singing
from John Dear Mowing Club (2008)
The first time i heard Townes singing
I decided to get drunk
I broke up with my girlfriend
“Nothing” was the title of this song (the title of the song was nothing)
The last time i heard townes singing
He was my virtual (myspace) friend
Among some porn stars and would be singers
I guess he’d understand.
thank our grandfathers
Who did mow our lawns
The door stood right open
In their ragged homes
They were swimming in their bathtubes
Let The water run free
When they looked around much later
It turned into a sea
The first time i heard townes singing
It ended all alone
Sitting on your sidewalk looking at your house
Pretending it was my home
The last time i heard Townes singing
We were driving through the night
eating chickens at a roadhouse
In the early morning light.
