In my efforts to take the reins and assume the role of conduit for new brand of Kern county country,  grounded in the Bakersfield sound, I've been preaching about mentoring, teamwork and collaboration.  This song speaks of that sort of Kern county country comradery.  Without further ado, I give you:

I'll Pull some Strings for You

words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008

I heard you've been hitting the pavement

goin' from city to town

I heard you've been playin' in cheap bars

honky tonks that bring you down

 chorus:

I'll pull some strings for you

I'll even sing for you

my sing-string and me

can do wonders for someone like you

I'll pull some strings for you

I'll make some bling for you

my 6-string and me

can do remove all those

nowhere man blues

I heard you've been singin' your heart out

to crowds that get smaller each day

I heard they've been turning you down now

you're homeless

with no place to play

by I've got some skills on this guitar

they're bound to make your dreams come true

when I lay down my leads

on your best songs

they'll be thrilled

from their heads to their shoes

(chorus)

you're much too green to get famous

well, that's what you've said once before

by these fingers can work out the rough spots

we'll leave the crowd yellin' for more

(chorus)
