Default New song: BAD PICKER BLUES

The second verse in this references an 83 year old incredible Telecaster player at my regular Friday jam session. He plays all the lead solos on songs.

Every single time I grab my guitar... my woman
grabs her keys and runs to her car
She says "don't expect me to stick around... and
be subjected to that awful sound"

I GOT THE BAD PICKER BLUES... YEAH
THE BAD PICKER BLUES
WHEN IT CAME TO LESSONS... I
SNOOZED AND LOSED... I GOT
THE BAD PICKER BLUES

Every Friday night I come to this place
Leon shoves his pickin' in my face
Playin' lead on songs he never heard before
& everybody always wants to hear more (CHORUS)

I'll never get better pickin' at this rate... bein'
a bad picker seems to be my fate
When it comes to Leon if I could play like that... you know
I would gladly eat my hat! (CHORUS)

You know I'd pick better if I only could... but my
guitar's better at bein' kindling wood
If you're still listenin' to me it's your own d**n fault
This place has a door thru which you can walk (CHORUS)
