Talking Reality Show Blues
(Brock Zeman)
I had me this girl since I was just young
With eyes of blue and hair all blonde
One day I had a little sip, I confess
And I poured out to her the heart that beat in my chest
She said, with a love this strong honey lets not tarry
So we run off to Vegas to get ourselves married
Just before the man could pronounce us husband and wife
I see these flashing neon lights
It turns out that she was an actor
And we wouldn t live happily ever after
My heart was shattered don t you know
But it came back together when I was told
Man, you just won yourself a bundle on a new reality show
One day I laid down just to rest my head
And here come this big ol voice shaking my bed
It said it was god, maker of land and sea
And he had himself a little job for me
You know good folk around here there too many
But sinners boy, you know we got plenty
Now I m gonna make them skies all rainy
And well, you know the drill
So I collected two of everything even beatles and bugs
And I sat in my boat waiting for a flood
Wasn t too concerned about the state of man
Cause I packed my pretty little gal from around the bend
Just when the rains come pouring down
That big ol voice hollared from the clouds
I wasn t saving mankind it told me so
As the skies started raining dough
But son you won yourself first place on our new reality show
They got shows on being left in Timbuktu
Shows about eating cow dung stew
And about losing the weight off your derrière
About marrying a guy whose a millionaire (who really isn t a millionaire)
About dating someone you don t now
Finding a needle in a haystack in Mexico
Man here s a show I d like to see
A whole show about being me
It d be empty bottles and knocking on wood
Your mom telling you that you drink more than you should
Sleep all day cause you re up all night
And well he s real nice but he ain t my type
And you play all night in some tore down bar
Where no one gives a damn just who you are
Where no one gives a damn just who you know
Just so long as you can play Copperhead Road
There s a show I d like to see
A whole show about being me
Man, did you see that show last night
Man can that Zeman kid ever lose a fight
And the whole world would be talking about my new reality show
