Bit of nostalgia on this from way back when I used to gig with a funk band in bell bottoms and butterfly collars, I’m not THAT old, just that we were little hipsters playin 70s style tunes. : )

So this is basically spinningmerkaba’s remix of a remix of a remix…he used my clav and did the rest (below) I just added the vocals and a few minor horn things…oh and the moog…it’s funk after all

Csoul-stank guitars and the phased out-reversed banjo
Alex- (Wooh-Yeah!) on the panned-whah whah electric axe.
Morusque-his organ sample started it all, and rocks the bridge in this version
spinningmerkaba (jlbrock44) bass trumpet drums guitar.

Lyrics:

Ol’ man clothes
and an ol’ school grinda
salacious soul
in a buttafly collar

Im a nowhere native
feels like Im never gonna make it
Im a nowhere native
feels like Im never gonna make it

This aint workin
Workin hours to the dollar
No, This aint workin,
Drivin gallons to the mile
The repo man
wants to tow my ride
The reaper man
wants to bury me alive

Don’t bury my bones
In these old man clothes
Don’t bury my soul in these worn down shoes

Don’t bury my bones
In these ol’ man clothes
Don’t bury my soul
Im in a blue collar mood
