    Driving 
    cross 

    Russia 
    in my 

    flesh 
    colored 
    caddy 

    with my 
    pet pig 
    on 
    the front seat 

    that I 
    call 
    Big 
    Daddy 

    And 
    tape 
    in the player 
    playing 

    codlin' 
    Jimmie Rodgers 

    and 
    ten
    ant 
    on each 
    antenna 

    of the 
    Astros and the 
    dodgers 

    The 
    people 
    all so 
    curious 

    they all 
    stop 
    and 
    stare 

    guess they 
    nev
    er 
    seen a pig 

    rocking 
    in a rocking 
    chair 

    Verse 2
    stopped into 
    a farm 
    town, 
    it looked a little 

    like 
    Lubbock 

    met me 
    a farmer 
    who's 
    down 
    on his 
    luck 

    His 
    tractor 
    was 
    hitting' on 
    two 
    out of 
    four 

    pulled 
    out my 
    tool kit 
    and into 
    it I 
    tore 

    told 
    him the bad 
    news 
    his 

    crankshaft was 
    gone 

    He 
    in
    vited 
    me to 
    dinner 
    said my 

    Verse 3
    pig could 
    come along 


    You 
    take it 
    as it 
    comes 

    leave it 
    where it goes 

    Your 
    quicker 
    on your 
    feet 

    without 
    a heavy load 

    You 
    never know 
    what's 
    comin' 

    'til 
    it 
    hits you 
    on the 
    back 

    You 
    nev
    er know 
    it's 
    gone 
    until it's 

    way on 
    down the 
    track

    Verse 4
    His 
    wife 
    she set the 
    table, 
    hot potatoes 

    and bread 

    she 
    reminded 
    me of someone 
    in a Tolstoy 

    book I'd 
    read 

    His daughters 
    were pretty 
    they had 

    bright 
    shiny 
    cheeks 

    I could 
    feel 
    their eyes 

    were playin 
    hide and 
    seek 

    He 
    nod
    ded 
    to the daughter 

    dressed 
    in white 
    petticoats 

    swal
    lowed 
    so 
    hard 
    the 

    bread stuck 
    in my 
    throat 

    Verse 5
    It 
    was time to 
    turn it in 
    ,I 
    needed a little 
    sleep 

    went to 
    to my 
    caddy, 

    and I 
    climbed in 
    the backseat 

    Just 
    when I 
    was 
    dreaming' of 

    a great 
    big grocery 
    store 

    heard someone 
    outside 

    tapping' up on 
    my caddy 
    door 

    knew 
    that I's in 
    trouble 

    by the 
    look 
    in her 
    eye 

    But 
    I became 
    an 
    in
    stant 
    diplomat 

    Verse 6
    and I invited 
    her inside 


    Take it 
    as it comes, 
    leave 
    it 
    as it goes 

    Your 
    quicker 
    on your 
    feet 

    with 
    out a 
    heavy load 

    You 
    nev
    er know 
    what's 
    coming' 

    til 
    it 
    hits you 
    in the 
    back 

    You 
    nev
    er know 
    it's 
    gone 
    til 

    it's way 
    down the 
    track 

    Verse 7

    The next 
    morning 
    at 
    breakfast 

    things 
    were 
    kinda quiet 

    You 
    could hear the 
    butter melting 

    on 
    cold 
    butter knife 

    The 
    farm
    er 
    gave the signal 

    and through the 
    door did 
    break 

    all 
    the neighbors 
    and the 
    relatives 

    with a great 
    big 
    wedding 
    cake 

    There 
    were mandolins 
    and 
    accordions, 

    vodka 
    and wine 

    some
    how 
    felt I'd 
    stumbled 

    Verse 8
    across 
    the borderline 


    But I accepted 
    my fate 
    cause 

    I had no 
    other choice 

    I heard my 
    home state 
    calling 

    me in a 
    codlin' 
    kind 
    of voice 

    grabbed 
    my brand new 
    bride 

    and I said 
    let's 
    vamoose 

    wished 
    her family 
    well, 

    as they were 
    gettin 
    pretty 
    loose 

    give the farmer 
    my caddy 
    so 

    he 
    could 
    pull his 
    plow 

    The 
    boys back 
    in the pool 
    will 

    never 
    believe me 
    now 

    Verse 9
    Hitch 
    hiker 
    cross 
    Russia 
    with my 

    bride 
    and pet 
    pig 

    That's 
    what I got 

    for bragging 
    talking 
    all big 

    I'll 
    never bet 
    my 
    boss again 

    that I 
    can make it 
    my 
    own 

    I'll 
    know 
    better 
    next time 
    just 

    to leave well 
    enough alone 

    Mean
    while me 
    and Natasha 

    gonna 
    jump 
    off 
    at this 
    place 

    see 
    if 
    we can 
    get distraction 

    on the 
    shortcut 
    to 
    Dallas

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
