Verse 2
Thank you. I wanted to put a couple of
songs on this project
from stuff we have released
and we don't have an acoustic version
of this anywhere
so I want to do this one.
Some of you have heard this story before.
When I was in, I think it was second grade,
and I think I know the teacher,
but I'm not positive,
so I'm not going to name any names.
I was out in the playground.
You know, I was a good little
kid.
I went through an F -word phase
in second grade.
But other than that,
I was a good little kid.
I don't think I was any good.
I don't know how good of a kid I was.
But in any case, this day, I decided
I was going to do something special
for my teacher.
And I went out in the playground.
I picked her a
bouquet of dandelions.
and I came inside and I gave
them to her
and she promptly informed me because
you know I'm in second grade
I'm very concerned
about biology
and species and classifications
and all that she informed me the dandelion is in fact
a weed
and she threw them away
and I know right say all
didn't try to get that in the album
it's very sad so anyways I
held up man
I still I'm you know shoot
but that was, oh man,
it was decades ago
and I still remember it.
So it come time to write a song one day
and I put that experience to good use
and I wrote Dandelion Woman.
Woo! Woo!

How did you like the song?
