Yep Dan, you remembered,
"Your'e gonna need a big ol pasture,
No "cow pies", if you please,
And a bunch of them plastic toilets, (another of my fav. lines, that ya just
don't hear every day, lol.)
Will put folks more at ease,
You gotta bribe the Fire Chief in your town,
To "look the other way",
They'll need some heat, to keep on pickin'
Till the break of day.
And of course the mandatory reso content, is the GOOD GUYS is playin' dobros!
Richie said that.
