Carradine BIO (Improvised 1974 Live Song) Lyrics by David Carradine

1974

(Okay, I'm going to make this shit up; I don't know what will happen…)
My daddy was a vampire
For Universal Pictures
We lived down in the San Fernando Valley
That time there was a cornfield right across the road
Now there's a garage right across the alley
I weathered thirty-seven winters
Most of them in this town
I try not to let the bastards ground me down
I got a pretty good job
Lousy hours, but it's a good job
I got a checkbook in my pocket
Got my BankAmericard
Wherever I walk down the road isn't so hard
I got a tiger, I got a dragon on my left arm
That keeps me free from harm
I got a tiger on my right
To make me last all night
I got a racy purple BA car
With a license plate that says I'm
A California fool, that's what I am
You would be too if you had my job
Ev'ry morning I get up at eight
And say:
"Jesus Christ, I'm late for work again."
I'm gonna straighten up, but I can't quite tell you when
It'll be some day
If ya don't like this song
I can't help it
I'm making it up
As I go along
[Applause]
It sounds corny, I know
But I know wherever I roam I will come back
Home again, to good old L.A
It's the biggest place, talk about big places
I got an old rocking chair
I love to sit there
Playing my guitar
(It gets all scratched up in the back because of the arms of the rocking chair get in the way all the time… chicken farm…)
