lyrics

From the top of a seven inning stretch
Davey looks and he's got me on the left
asking "who's on first?" and the rest
asking "who's on first?" getting laughs
Shooting winks at the ladies in drag

People, they don't know what he'd do
for a penny on a Sunday in his shoe
and the sound of a dozen hands clapping for a man
who's the voice of a city in the humid Georgia air

Well it's a hell of a living, a swell of a life
They'll call you silly, pull you down from the spire
The guilt growing in you, you know it ain't true
cause you never heard of the variety blues
no, you never heard of the variety blues

He said "son, they've been taking all of me
ever since I can remember, but it's all you can ever need,
and the only thing I believe in is a chuckle drenched in gin, and the look on the face of a lover drenched in sin."

It's a hell of a living, a swell of a life
They'll call you silly, pull you down from the spire
The guilt growing in you, you know it ain't true
cause you never heard of the variety blues
no, you never heard of the variety blues

about

Hope and Tim Salt Lake City, Utah

The soulful vocal stylings of Hope Glenn meet the upbeat folk guitar work of her husband, Tim Glenn. The result is something new, yet familiar, singable, and fun. Like butter on your pancakes, the music melts in front of you before you fall in love.

We're married, so don't get any ideas.
