Lyrics by Robert Earl Keen:

I see this woman everyday
Dancin' on the corner at the Gas & Pay
Whirlin' and a-twirlin' in the bright sunshine
With her earbuds on and a cardboard sign
They say that she once was a workin' girl
It's a wigged out, weired out, wild and a wacky world

Get ready for confetti, hey hey hey
Get ready for confetti, hey hey hey
Get ready for confetti everyday
(Hey hey hey) everyday

I knew this psychic many years ago
He'd been abducted by a UFO
They took him to another galaxy
He read their fortunes and they set him free
He once was very famous scientist
Said livin' in the future is to hard to resist

I play the ponies and I look for clues
Hit the highway and I pay my dues
I mind my business as I walk the line
With my earbuds on and my cardboard sign
And when they say to go, I'll go
You never know what you don't know

Get ready for confetti, hey hey hey
Get ready for confetti, hey hey hey
Get ready for confetti
Get ready for confetti, hey hey hey
Get ready for confetti, hey hey hey
Get ready for confetti everyday
Get ready for confetti, hey hey
Get ready for confetti, hey hey
Get ready for confetti everyday
Everyday
Everydaaaaaay

Melanie Howe...


A rising talent at Meeting of the Minds, Melanie is a college student and still manages to play with several bands in the Knoxville,
Tennessee area. Here she was on the Casa Marina stage as the guest of Tall Paul who always attracts some great players. Look for
