This song, like more of my songs lately, was written in response to a songwriting prompt. Thanks to Tammy Jann for the inspiration.

lyrics

Eddie’s got a shovel
Hanging on the wall in his garage
He’s going to dig himself a tunnel
Stretching all the way to the Taj Mahal

I don’t know what he’s trying to pull
He’s a unique individual
I don’t know if he serious
Or laughing at me
Is he laughing at me?

Eddie’s mother tells me
That she really likes the way that I spend
My time
I don’t think about it
‘Cause I always kind of do whatever’s on My mind

Hanging out with Eddie
Always makes me feel better
Kind of like when a girl likes me
And I let her be my friend
To the end of the day

I ask her, hey-eeyay
Have you ever met Eddie
And she says, hey-eeyay
I really should

Sometimes peace
Is where you least expect it
In a garage by a highway exit

Eddie’s got a shovel
Hanging on the wall in his garage
He’s going to dig himself a tunnel
Stretching all the way to the Taj Mahal

I don’t know how I ever got elected
Me and my broken electric guitar
That I bought and I learned
How to play for Eddie

But I sing, hey-eeyay
Have you ever met Eddie
I say, hey-eeyay
You really should
