this is my friend charlie parr in london
charlie's making a living off his music now
not like the early mpls days up in his apartment on hennepin
drinkin' jameson and
scratchin' out tunes with terry while making up songs
about terry's hairy spanish girlfriend
i haven't seen charlie since a cold night in duluth
a few years back
these days he's got several albums out of both
original and other material
all good and all tuned to his crafted warble and footboard timing
suiting a scholar and an artist
he's lost a bit of weight from all the touring
but the clothes are the same and we hear from his wife
that he still needs to be reminded to wash
but he's a fan of dostoyevsky's the idiot
and he serves a proper master
supports his local independent record store
and drives an old truck
enjoy
