Bellbottom Overalls

about

Is she a farmer? Is she a hippie? Got a boyfriend? Girlfriend? That quirky girl that works down at the feed store has got the whole town abuzz!

This song's all banjos, harmonicas and accordions with a splash of bass, washboard and lagerphone. An old-timey toe-tapper worthy of a twirl at the Solstice Ball!

lyrics

A small town flower in the grain feed store
A moonbeam ‘tween the rows
Haul down sacks for the tractor jocks
Load the trailer beds they tow

The boys light up when she smiles warm
But she waves them all away
And the way she sets her old cowhide hat
Makes the lookin’ girls a-sway

(bridge)
Some say she don’t no need no one to make her feel a-live
Some think she holds a secret tight
But there’s one thing that all agree, whatever side they fall
You’ll find no answers in her style

The blossoms in the new day sun
Rise to greet the dawn
And she’s cross-legged on a prairie stone
So content to be all alone

(bridge)
Some say she don’t no need no one to make her feel a-live
Some think she holds a secret tight
But there’s one thing that all agree, whatever side they fall
You’ll find no answers in her style

(chorus)
She wears…
Bell-bottom overalls
Hippie in the Spring, backwoods in the Fall
She keep the whole town guessing at the Solstice Ball
She gonna do another, do another twirl ‘round the old Grange hall
