Song Information:

I posted a version of this song last year that was just a transfer of the original recording from about 1992 over to my Mac and then into an mp3 format.

This one however is a total remake done in Logic Express 8. While it does use the original track for the vocal and guitar part, I've completely redone the drums, and bass parts. I've also added fiddles, banjo, and 2 other guitar parts to it.

Now this little sucker is really cookin' with all burners going. I hope you agree that it is a totally different song, and at the same time it's the same song, just a lot better.

Enjoy the new mix. I would be pleased to have any comments on what I might yet do to make it even better, if you'd care to offer them.

Thanks for listening.

Verse 1
I was sittin' on my pony, at Hollywood and vine.
Tryin' to find a place to park, I didn't have a dime
My buckskins chafin' me, from ridin' down the line.
I guess I'm just a little behind the times

C h o r u s
It's just another one a life's little - disappointments.
When you just want to live a simple life
Yeah with three squares on the table, and a woman that is able.
And a good edge on your trusty huntin' knife

Verse 2
I tried to find a barber, for a haircut and a shave.
All I found were stylin' shops, and permanent waves
Its a sign of the times in the home of the brave.
No one wants to live a simple life

C h o r u s
It's just another one a life's little - disappointments.
When you just want to live a simple life
Yeah with three squares on the table, and a woman that is able.
And a good edge on your trusty huntin' knife


Verse 3
I went to by some ammunition, at a dry goods store.
And they told me that they can't get that caliber no more
Well tryin' to kill a buffalo without it is a chore.
He said " you can't kill buffalo no more


C h o r u s
It's just another one a life's little - disappointments.
When you just want to live a simple life
Yeah with three squares on the table, and a woman that is able.
And a good edge on your trusty huntin' knife


Pickin' Verse

Verse 4
I spied a pretty lady, with locks of golden hair.
It look like she had nothin on, but her underwear
When I yelled out " Hey cowgirl, come on over here."
Well all he did was look at me and stare


C h o r u s
It's just another one a life's little - disappointments.
When you just want to live a simple life
Yeah with three squares on the table, and a woman that is able.
And a good edge on your trusty huntin' knife


Tag line: ( sung twice)
Yeah with three squares on the table, and a woman that is able.
And a good edge on your trusty huntin' knife
