Written in November of 2001 in Key West, Florida after my van was towed within a a few days of arriving in town... Recorded in December 2006 at the Penthouse in Key West, Florida.. Michael, Robin and Kevin added all the ridiculous sound effects in a session I couldn't attend, I can still hear them laughing about it...great times...
lyrics
Woke up this mornin' not a penny in my hand
I was dreamin' of starting me a rock 'n roll band
Workin' on the street just to make a buck or two
Left my van down by the VFW
Low and behold they towed it on down the line
Well a pig is still a pig even on a tropical island
No matter where you go you run into the laws
They will mess with you with or without cause
They will bend you over just any ol' time
Guess what I had was never really mine
Well sorry mister man I didn't mean to get in your way
Well a pig is still a pig even on a bright and sunny day
Took a long walk down Truman avenue
Hoping to get a ride from a friend or two
Liz picked me up down on Roosevelt
I got no choice but to play the cards I've been dealt
And we drove around 'til we saw the tow truck sign
Yeah I'm $250 in the hole to the piggy out on Stock Island
Well my van had outta' state plates
They don't know me, don't know my face
But I guess they can do just about anything they please
They got a piggy piggy piggy piggy piggy piggy piggy disease
I was drinking absinthe with my good friend Matt
The bottle was green it was big and fat
I guess this is life living in Key West
No matter where you go they put you to the test
As I recollect there never was a handicap sign
And a pig is still a pig, even on a tropical island
