about

this track is just my take on a Boy named Sue

lyrics

Engine number nine, my daddy caught a ride,
Left Boston for Texarkana back in 1965
Oh my mama never recovered, I found her wedged inside the stove
Blackened fingers from pork grease drippings and a heart that was still as stone

Heart of Stone

God never gave me any bread, Jesus plum forgot the wine
Picking meals from a rusty dumpster, rolling hippies just to get a dime
So I left for the East Texas border, with a pocket full of reds and whites
Bought a rank pistol off a tittie dealer, made a prison shank from lead and twine

Heart of Stone

I found him on the south side of Beaumont and I looked him solid in the eye
I said: “five years I’ve been living on the streets just hoping to watch you die”
He said: “son let me tell you something, it’s to bad you had to learn on your own”
“This world gets crueler by the minute to survive you need a heart of stone.”

Heart of Stone

Coby Carlucci Beverly, Massachusetts

I have been performing in and around New England for 20 years. I describe my sound as Rugged Pop and have been likened to Elvis Costello fronting ZZ Top (or perhaps Nick Lowe fronting Humble Pie). I have three CD’s to my credit (so far!!) the most recent, Dragline, will be available in September. Cheers! CC. ... more
