about

Ruby: This is about being in a band. Any band.


Billy Carl: I didn't write this one but I sure had fun playing it!


lyrics

So Cool
©Ruby Bird, Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

Living the big life in grays and browns and
Playing for nothing all over town and
In and out hotels and bars and trading up to rusty cars
Everything fits in a frame of angles, holes and your tiny fame
You’re so cool…

Walk a thin line ‘tween friends and foes
And everyone sees the emperor’s clothes
Riding the line like a surfer on a crest to see
Who can be the worst and the best
You’ll never hurt, feel bitter or shame
As long as you feel you’re a part of their game
You’re so cool…we are dead and dying

Green is grass in some other place but a
Forest is staring you right in the face of love, of hope,
A passionate test, check in and out like you’re only a guest
Reap all the bounty, milk it dry,
Then let someone else have their pie in the sky
You’re so cool…
So cool…so cool…so cool…we are dead and dying
