about

My Grandpa wouldn't eat Polk Salad; he said if you didn't cook it right, it could kill you. So my Grandma would make it just for she and I. I loved it.

The cover image was typed on the typewriter my Grandfather left me when he died. I love it too.

lyrics

EVERYTHING'S JUST RIGHT


Drivers in Atlanta
Make me crazy
Coffee when it's luke warm
Ain't got no flavor

But everything's just right about you
Yeah everything's just right about you

Drive thru's when it's all wrong
Just makes you feel screwed
Polk salad if it's cooked wrong
They say can kill you

But everything's just right about you
Yeah everything's just right about you

Music in the wrong key
Can make you wanna smack your Granny
Ball-games when it's cold out
Are better on the T.V.

But everything's just right about you
Yeah everything's just right about you

Sad songs when they're sung right
Will make you grab your hanky
Little ones when they're cranky
Will make you not want babies

But everything's just right about you
Yeah everything's just right about you

But a good song and a stiff drink
Would make you high-five Satan
But I'm sure that would probably
Piss off your Maker

But everything's just right about you
Yeah everything's just right about you
