Story Behind The Song

This is a rough mix from the upcoming CD Both Sides of Midnight

Song Description

A tribute to the rock and roll girls that are tough streetwise and kick ass on the outside and soft vulnerable and feminine inside, that we know and love so much! From the initial meeting of love or at least lust at first sight, to eventually falling in love...the title of this song was I nickname I had for a girlfriend at the time. Musically it reminds me of what bands like Sweet and Slade would be up to today.

Lyrics

Ghetto Assed Petal
Copyright 2004 by David Blake Lucarelli Contact 323-465-9749
Well the curtains parted and the party's started
'n suddenly all the eyes are on me
'n Mata Hari's such a hot tomali
her and me is a fait accompli

She says
You're my chosen one
and I'm one fortunate dame
Play your cards right and it's your lucky day

I'm your ghetto-assed petal
you better get ready for me

I was a broken arrow off the straight and narrow
on a trail of tears that stretched for years
But Mona Lisa Done eased my fever
made a true believer outta me

And now
I play the guitar
just like I ring her bell
with a lazy hand and a leather belt

She's my ghetto-assed petal
my ghetto-assed petal
She's my ghetto-assed petal
'n you know she's always ready for me

And now I spend my money
like it's going outta style
A steel city boy
But I'd walk a country mile

for my ghetto-assed petal
my ghetto-assed petal
my ghetto-assed petal
'cause you know she's always ready for me
she?s my ghetto-assed pet!
she?s my ghetto-assed pet!
she?s my ghetto-assed pet!
she?s my ghetto-assed pet!
