Well, Lessee. That girl didn't pull any punches, did she? Those gals can be mean ! True story. When I was in Corpus Christi I bought a Life Insurance Policy from a Retired Military Guy who had an Office just outside the Main Gate of the Base. I stopped in to visit him one day when he got a Phone Call. After a minute or so he said the the party on the other end, No, haven't seen him. Then he told me a story. This female was on the other end of the phone and she was looking for a guy she appearently was assoiated with. They knew each other I guess. He said they were in a bar and the guy was talking with another woman. The woman looking for the guy that day went up to the other woman and jammed a lighted cigarette into the other woman's arm and said, get away form my man! Yes, those women can be mean! You can listen to my Truck Song, NUMBER ON THAT TRUCK under Rays Music at http://www.geocities.ws/fiverosesmusicgroup/ Geronimo!

From a Marketing 102 perspective... the "Bandname" Wabash Cannibal is pretty clever. If it were my song... and I had the courage and energy to "pitch it"... I'd be up in Central Oklahoma knocking on Toby Keith's door. This one is right up his alley... and I don't know how much new material he "takes on" these days... but he could cause money to flow!
Nice job, you two. Lots of clever lines and yeah, I know... there may be too many "truck" songs out there... but then, maybe not! Enjoyed my listen. Geoff must be suffering from flight fatigue/jet lag... but I hear he's down on his luck and now flies a Steerman. LOL!
Thanks for sharing, as usual... and Floyd... wish I had your vocal capability. Great job.
----Dave

Reminds me of The Honeymooners episode where some guy wanted to fight Ralph, Norton comes up with the idea to get a friend of his to show up before the fight and then Ralph would pretend to knock him out in front of him to scare him off. Ralph knocks him out and Norton says I got another surprise for ya Ralph, that aint my friend.....
This was fun. Ive personally seen this happen a few times, different settings.

It's an ok song. It seems a re-write of "When He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood with a twist. Also an insurance commercial shown recently where a red mustang is trashed by an angry girlfriend. The mustang turns out not to belong to her boyfriend. There also this video out there which is a howl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsgYcfUR26wThe lyrics seem like they are having a little trouble finding the beat in several places...to my ear. Prosody is in the ear of the beholder I suppose. Nonetheless...pleasant enough to listen to. Always enjoy Floyd's talents. Always enjoy Robert's writings.

Thanks folks. The song is an answer to Before He Cheats. I didn't know about the commercial but the lyric was posted on Taxi in August 2016 as anyone can see.

Mr. Davenport,
I thought precisely that this sounded like a response to "Before He Cheats." Giving away my age here.........but I vividly remember buying the record "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to;" only to have "Judy's turn to cry" follow it up several month's later.
I found this song quite entertaining, when you make someone smile, you're doing something right. I like the concept and found myself tapping my foot with the up tempo music. Remember why the Beatle's albums were so popular was because their "filler" songs were really "B" songs, not "D's." I think if you were sitting in a C/W nightclub and this song came on, folks would get up and dance and enjoy the lyrics--isn't that the goal? Well done!
You and Floyd ham & egg it well--Floyd's the ham though--kidding Floyd. (Couch, I'd kind of like to hear the guy's response that owned the truck in the next version--might need censoring, however)

Couch and Floyd, Another solid collaboration . . . catchy with a strong vocal. Easy to listen to . . . nicely done. And like what you did with that third verse melodically. From a purely personal perspective makes me wonder about the singer’s choice in girlfriend, but that’s more his problem than mine. Happy New Year to you both! Deej
