 I have a confession to make about the following confession.  It's built on a vast exaggeration.  But, then again, it's Trout's and isn't it true that to tell a good fish story, at least at little exaggeration is required to capture the interest of the listener?  Thanks for the drink, Rockwell, but I didn't get blitz out of my mind as suggested by the song.  My first beer must have been shaken up a little too hard, because when it was opened, most of it fizzled out and spilled all over the place.  I had one more, and then the one you brought me. 

Homer brought the roof down with a rowdy, real country performance that had people dancing their butts off.  It was all part of a 2-night tribute to the Bakersfield Sound.

I stood on the sidelines and took it all in.  Then I woke up in the morning, not with a hangover, but with a Homer song in my head, and a song of my own that followed his.  So, without further ado, here's the rough, unplugged version of

My Sunday Mornin' Confession ('bout Saturday Night at Trout's).

I'll perform this song "live" this morning at Starbucks on Roseday Highway near Calloway at about 8:30 am.  Here are the lyrics:

My Sunday Mornin' Confession ('bout Saturday Night at Trout's)

words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008

well, I woke up Sunday mornin'

with a Homer song in my head

and one hell of a hangover

don't remember a thing I said

don't remember what I did either

well, I do

but with some doubt

it's my Sunday mornin' confession

'bout Saturday Night at Trout's

Rockwell bout me a Budweiser

and I drank to the Bakersfield Sound

but by the time that it was over

I couldn't find my way 'cross town

well the place was filled with cowboys

and cowgirls that'd make you shout

and it's my Sunday mornin' confession

'bout Saturday night at Trout's

hell, yeh!

Hee Haw

I can't remember

what I heard there

and I can't tell you what I saw

hell, yeh!

no doubt

it's my Sunday mornin' confession

'bout Saturday night at Trout's

it's my Sunday mornin' confession

'bout Saturday night at Trout's
