Living Room Legend

Liner Notes

“Last of the Cock Rock Cowboys” (previous song) has expanded into a sleaze rock opera album. Here’s another track.

Lyrics

Once you were a boy with a common name
Watching ‘68 Comeback on cable TV
With Elvis dolls in the trailer park
You wanted to be just like the King

Prechorus
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Chorus
Get up, man
There’s a party starting soon
Don’t be a legend in your living room
You’re getting older, getting left behind
You’re just a legend in your own mind

You turned 21 and changed your name
You got a dancer at the Teasers Cabaret
Had that piece of shit five hundred dollar Pontiac
But your life was fun anyway

Prechorus
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Chorus
Get up, man
There’s a party starting soon
Don’t be a legend in your living room
You’re getting older, getting left behind
You’re just a legend in your own mind

Does anyone still remember your name?
Still working bad gigs and a dead end job
You could have been a comeback kid
But now you’re living like a slob

Prechorus
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Chorus
Get up, man
There’s a party starting soon
Don’t be a legend in your living room
You’re getting older, getting left behind
You’re just a legend in your own mind

Spoken: “Buck Wilder has left the building. Move along, kids. Nothing to see here”
