[D] All right, good people.
[A] First up is my man, [E] Ray Wiley Hubbard.
His music making [B] is a family [D]-based business these days, with his son [A] Lucas playing lead guitar,
[E] and his wife Judy managing the whole operation.
In fact, [G] this next tune is the reason [A] why she lovingly refers to Ray [E] as Snake Daddy.
That's right, [D] it's a live version of Snake Farms.
[E] You know, I never know, when you write a [G] song, I never know if I'm gonna make a [A] record.
That's a great thing, and I can't [E] recommend this for everyone, but sleeping with the president of the record label,
and I'm not talking about Clive Davis, I'm talking about [D] my wife Judy,
but the [E] great thing about that, you know, being [A] an old cat, that she, [Dm] I have this freedom to [B] write about whatever I want, [Em] you know,
and I can go write about, you know, Chick Singers or Blackbirds Talking or, [D] you know, Stone Blind Horses
or [F] do a song [B] honoring Charlie Musselwhite, I can write whatever I want.
And she [E] says, you do that, and then let me, you know, sell the damn [D] things.
So [A] that's a [Db] really good place for [E] me, because I've never been, you know, like a [G] mainstream writer,
so I don't have to write, I don't feel [E] any pressure to write [B] for a [D] publishing company.
Like I've got to give them [E] 12 songs a year, or I don't have to write, like, to try to get a cut, you know, by [G] somebody that's famous.
I just [A] write my, you know, naughty little greasy songs and [Ebm] record them, and then, you know, [E] she sells them.
You know, like I say, before a writer, that's a really good place to be, to have that [B] freedom.
[Ab] Well, you were [Em] so good, and so [C] I made this promise, if you'd be good, I'd do [E] steak for him.
[N] But I lied.
No, I'm just kidding.
