about

A trip around Memphis with Fausto and the King.

lyrics

Brand New car

'I love the smell of Memphis', he said
As we drove into the Tennessee night
'Charlie said there's a price on my head
so I have to lay low for the night'

I was asked to deliver
just south of Wolf River
a couple of beers and a pie
The sound of Freddy Fender
and the door blew open
I could hardly believe my eyes


'Cilla don't know where I am tonight
she thinks I'm at the burger bar.
Come on little brother take a walk with me
I'm going to buy you a brand new car'

'Cilla don't care about me anymore
Kung Fu and Fillipino nail bars
Come on little brother take a ride with me
I'm going to buy you a brand new car'



He took shotgun
asked 'Where you from son?'
I said, 'I'm from a little town called Hackett'
'I think I made a film about a rodeo there
and can I borrow your cap and your jacket?'

Sometimes I like to go to Hernando de Soto
and talk about places he's been
We laugh a lot and he likes to hear stories
of all the mamacitas I've seen



'Cilla don't know where I am tonight
she thinks I'm at the burger bar.
Come on little brother take a walk with me
I'm going to buy you a brand new car'

'Cilla don't care about me anymore
Kung Fu and Fillipino nail bars.
Come on little brother take a ride with me
I'm going to buy you a brand new car'

Grow my hair, dye it black
Get the dutchman off my Goddamn back
The good lord knows I ain't coming back no more, no more
My Daddy wouldn't like it but he should have known
Put the genie in the Goddamn lamp and go
to get that neck tattoo
I've always known
Mi Corazon
Will call me Fausto
