Alabama Waterfall
© words and music by C. Stewart ( Jan 11, 2018 )

We live out here
In this old bus
Wife and the dogs
All nine of us

Hair is a flowin'
Down my back
It's all grey where
It used to be black

CHORUS......
Hey, ya'all
I got a Alabama waterfall

Alabama Waterfall
Nothin' on the side
Some call me Merle
Some call me Clyde

I drank my paycheck
Lost my car
Guess I left it
Down at the bar

Hair is a flowin'
Down my back
It's all grey where
It used to be black

Repeat CHORUS.....

I like Willie and
I don't like rap
Take a few tokes
It's time for a nap

Hair is a flowin'
Down my back
It's all grey where
It used to be black

Repeat CHORUS.....

Another fun one, for sure!!

I think an appropriate response is LOL.

Where does it all come from?

Vic

Fun eclectic southern kinda song with a sparse arrangement that keeps you focused on the lyrics.

The lyrics are the high point of this song. I would have liked the drums to reach out and hit me a bit harder in the mix (the cymbals are fine).

You mix want to consider more reverb EQed with some of the highs cut to give it a dark sound. I am not sure how it would sound but I am hearing a "Blacksnake Moan" kinda vibe in this. It might be fun to play around and see how it sounds (not a crit just something I am hearing).

Off the beaten path to be sure!

Peace,
TC

Oh my goodness, LMAO!

You done it up.

Some call me Merle, some call me Clyde. Two of many aliases I am sure.

This might be my new fave.

Hi David,


I appreciate you dropping in to listen.
Thanks.

HBO or Netflix has got something coming up that needs this for the series intro. I dunno what, but sum'thin.

One of my life's little pleasures is seeing that you posted up a new song Calvin.

Martin

Fun .. love the lyrics and the spacey country feel! Strange and weird, but in a good way!

Enjoyed it,

Kevin

Hey ya'll! What a great afternoon pick-me-up! Calvin, so glad to see you've put that reference to good use. If anyone could, it would be you!

Ricki

Calvin,

I think Martin nailed it--sounds just like a song that accompanies the opening credits of cutting edge TV show. Just a great piano riff that pulls this all together. Sweet!

Deej

Hi Ricki,


Always nice to see ya, thanks for the kind words.

Calvin,

Clever. As always.

That was a new term for me, but you made me realize what it was from your writing. Impressive.

Calvin,

Might just be my new fav of yours! Great simple lines that are clever taboot!

Winner, winner... Chicken Dinner:

Calvin... I think you've done some of your best work with "Alabama Waterfall." If you have "avenues or inroads" into the hallowed halls of any of the Nashville "Labels"... Toby Keith could make you a very wealthy man with this one.

I can hear this thing "tearing up the listeners" on a good "Country Radio Station" not associated with "Clear Channel"... or whatever disguise they use these days. Thanks for providing me with some of the best entertainment I've heard in a week. Pure genius, Mr. C! ----Dave

Travbis

Hey another good one Calvin.

I really like that part panned to the left... sounds like electric guitar or something...

Good idea to carry it through out the song.

Calvin, as usual, I can't really say why I love this so much! I just do. You are definitely one of a kind.

I saw the title and your name and thought, "Is Calvin actually writing something about a waterfall in Alabama?"

LOL - you got me.

I actually had to google this to find out if it was a real thing or something you made up.

Very funny, Calvin

We could hear this as the credits from a series like Justified rolled by.

You have an obvious penchant and talent for writing cool off beat lyrics but you also have a knack for building the perfect backing tracks for the lyric, vocal and overall feel.

Sorta channeling your Southern Gothic here!

Really enjoyed it.

Hello Janice & Bud,

Have a great weekend.
