Rehab Man
By Garrick Rawlings, Marck O’Dell ©2015
I’m a rehab man, I drive a rehab van
Better get out of my way, because I’m here to stay
I was born in Jersey, but I was raised in Japan
I got busted in Portland, sent to Prescott land
I got a bag of green jelly, it’s the greatest stuff
It’ll keep you sober, but the buzz is rough
Come for the rehab, stay for the relapse
Come for the rehab, stay for the relapse
Come on down, we’ve got a rehab town
When you come down, you’re Prescott bound
There’s a man in town, he’s got the system down
He bought a rehab crib for junkie girls to live
Says he’s here to help, he only helps himself
He scares the women to death, he makes them sell his meth
I gotta keep my head down, or I’m penitentiary bound
I’m kinda down on my luck, I drive a rehab truck
Come for the rehab, stay for the relapse
Come for the rehab, stay for the relapse
Come on down, we’ve got a rehab town
When you come down, you’re Prescott bound
I’m a rehab man, I drive a rehab van
Better get out of my way, because I’m here to stay
I’ve had a streak of bad luck, I drive a rehab truck
Until I change my luck, I’ll drive this rehab truck
I don’t give a fuck, in my rehab truck
I don’t give a fuck, in my rehab truck

Two Days
By Garrick Rawlings ©2022
I-o-way, I-o-way
Deputy Sheriff on the interstate
I-o-way, I-o-way
Uncle Russ and Aunt Wib’ll have to wait
First Denver, then Cheyenne
I thought Des Moines was in the can
Jesus land, oh Jesus land
Dumb ‘ol cop don’t understand
I got two days, I got two days
Two days in the Dallas County pen
Patriot act, let freedom be
This country’s gone a little insane to me
He said you did nothin’ wrong, But I’m gonna search
You don’t look right, you’re a little too free
I got scared and he tricked me
That sonofabitch wouldn’t let me be
First he lied, and then he tried
To make somethin’ out of nothin’, his mind’s fried
He took my gun, he took my grass
Ya got that right boys, he can kiss my ass
I got two days, I got two days
Two days in the Dallas County pen
Patriot act, let freedom be
This country’s gone a little insane to me

Under the Sea
Garrick Rawlings ©2006
Oh, Mr. D
What’s it like down there
On a sunny day
When you come up for air
What do you do
When a storm rolls through
In a hurricane
I worry ‘bout you
Faster, faster than lightning
World of wonder, under the sea
Oh, how’s your bro
In the aquarium
Does he ever write
How he feels so dumb
He’s doin tricks
On a human stage
Does he feel free
Or like a rat in a cage
Faster, faster than lightning
World of wonder, under the sea
Where do you go
When you’re not around
I miss you so
Here on solid ground
Oh, did you swim
With the Yankee Clipper
What do you think
Of good ‘ol Flipper
Faster, faster than lightning
World of wonder, under the sea

Love’s Been Sold
By Garrick Rawlings ©2007
The tattoo on her back, rides squarely upon her crack
And the rings that she chose, to poke through her nose
Tell a story with her pose, in very hip clothes
Her daddy never made it, she learned young to fake it
The quest in her eyes, tell urgent little lies
And the apple of them eyes, is a rather “interesting” guy
Ain’t no reason, ain’t no rhyme
She don’t matter, she don’t try
Long ago truth be told, love’s been bought, love’s been sold
Long ago truth be told, love’s been bought, love’s been sold
The cell phone in her ear, makes conversation queer
The collagen in her lips, provide much bigger tips
Which she plans to invest, in silicone for her breasts
Ain’t no reason, ain’t no rhyme
She don’t matter, she don’t try
Long ago truth be told, love’s been bought, love’s been sold
Long ago truth be told, love’s been bought, love’s been sold
The orbit of her ass, give Levi’s a little class
And her silver studded belt, hide feelings she once felt
And the tattoo on her back, rides squarely upon her crack

Don’t Go Lookin’
Garrick Rawlings ©2022
Don’t go lookin’ I don’t want to be found out, I said
Don’t go lookin’ I don’t want to be found out
I’ve been getting’ away with it for so long
Don’t want the walls to come tumblin’ down
Well I tried to do it your way, but it didn’t work out at all
I tried to do it your way, but it didn’t work out at all
When I finally broke those chains lord,
everything started workin’ out
This ain’t nothin’ special, it ain’t real nor profound
I tried to tell you baby, what goes up must come down
Don’t go lookin’ I don’t want to be found out, I said
Don’t go lookin’ I don’t want to be found out
I’ve been getting’ away with it for so long
Don’t want the walls to come tumblin’ down
It was easy the first time, the 2nd and 3rd time too
It was easy the first time and all those other times too
I’ve been foolin’ you for so long
How’s it feel to play the fool?
This ain’t nothin’ special, it ain’t real nor profound
I tried to tell you baby, what goes up must come down
Well I’ve got to have my freedom, won’t you please just let me be
You know I’ve got to ramble, won’t you please just let me be
If you fence me in now baby,
I’ll crumble and then I’ll fade away
