Story Behind The Song
I love making references & who can avoid using Budokahn in a song when the opportunity presents itself.
Song Description
A nod to 70's heroes Cheap Trick through the use of their type sense of humor & several references to musical icons. This song is a lot of fun live. Great solo by AJ Dunning of the Verve Pipe.

Lyrics
It?s a heavy, knees quake, back breakin?
Burden on me your love
You put a color TV
Where my stereo once stood
In the basement, first floor, upstairs
Anywhere yer the boss
I used to have my say
Now I?m stickin? to ?yes dear?
Every day in some peculiar way
You still get to me
I?m so Haggard, Johnny Cash, Yer more
Like Petty & a Rollin? Stone
Kinda rough & easy to love
I pull my guitar from the closet
That?s a start
Are you in Alabama or in Budokahn?
Well I?m heartbroke, no joke, Wanna choke
But I just can?t have you near
Your shadow stands over me
Makes me understood
I can?t change you buttercup I had enough
Now I may be lonely
But you put a color TV
Where the best of me once stood
That ain?t no good
