Chin Up, Buckaroo Lyrics by The Shackletons

Formerly the Albatross

2024

[Verse 1]
I'll drive a thousand miles an hour
Until there's nowhere else to go
Oh but these black bird miles
Don't matter much on these
Old Berkshire roads
Maybe I'm praying just a little
That the duffel in the back
Makes it to its new adoptive parents
Before I know the contents
A thousand miles an hour
And there ain't too long to go
[Chorus]
Still don't know what to do
Chin up, Buckaroo
Penrose stairs to the moon
Chin up, Buckaroo
[Verse 2]
And here comes 'In the Midnight Hour'
Through a blown out speaker cone
Oh and the back of the CD has thoughts
On its loose dashboard home
But I take comfort in the little
Skips and glitches on the track
It makes the horn section get
Caught caught caught before the climax
'In the Midnight Hour'
This is last legs radio
[Chorus]
Because I still don't know what to do
Chin up, Buckaroo
Penrose stairs to the moon
Chin up, Buckaroo
[Bridge]
Nothing is coming up roses
If nothing is coming up at all
[Outro]
Still don't know what to do
(Nothing's coming up roses)
Chin up, Buckaroo
(Nothing's coming up at all)
Penrose stairs to the moon
(Nothing's coming up roses)
Chin up, Buckaroo
(Nothing's coming up at all)
