Gruesome’s Road Kill Cafe Recording

Posted on by

In a previous post Gruesome’s Road Kill Cafe, I promised that once the song was recorded that I would post it.

You can find the recording at the bottom of this post. Give it a listen. It’s a fun, country-novelty song and very well produced by Gary Carter Music in Tennessee.

I am trying to get this song on the radio or as a cut on an artist’s album. Do you know how difficult that is? I’d probably have a better chance at winning the lotto!

That’s where I need your help. If anyone reading this post has any connections in radio or musicland, can you please contact me. Just use the Contact link on the site’s menu bar.

I’d really appreciate your help!

So, without further ado (I’ve always wanted to use that intro), here are “The Ridge Riders” and Gruesome’s Road Kill Cafe.

I hope that you enjoy it!

The Ridge Riders – Gruesome’s Road Kill Cafe

Gruesome’s Road Kill Cafe

Songwriting has been a hobby of mine for more years than I can remember. I was influenced by family, who played piano, and a neighborhood buddy who had an amazing voice. I knew that I could not sing, so I figured maybe I could play guitar and write songs.

So, some 60 plus songs later, I’m still writing.

Here are the lyrics to my latest song, inspired by California Senate Bill No. 395, Chapter 869. This song is being recorded as a demo in Nashville, as I write this post. A country-novelty song destined to become a comedy classic! I’ll post it for listening when it’s completed.

For now, please enjoy these fun lyrics!

“Gruesome’s Road Kill Café“

Driving down country roads, like I do most everyday

I saw a sign that read, fresh country grub at Gruesome’s cafe

Well I was a bit hungry, so I pulled into the parking stall

And as I walked up to the front door, I read the specials posted on the wall.

Chorus:

            At Gruesome’s Road Kill Café

            You kill ’em, we’ll grill ’em

            Awesome possum or smear-o-deer

            Rack of raccoon, all simmered in beer

            Served up fresh all day

            At Gruesome’s Road Kill Café

So I went in and ordered up the chicken, that almost crossed the road

A chunk of skunk, swirl of squirrel and toad ala mode

You might think it sounds so sick, that it tasted awfully bad

But I just gotta tell y’all it was the best darn meal that I’d ever had.

Chorus:

            Repeat

Music:

Bridge:

            There’s really nothing fresher or tastes quite as good

            As nature’s furry bounty, direct from your truck’s hood, hood. hood

Chorus:

            Repeat

Ending:

            Served up fresh all day

            At Gruesome’s Road Kill Café

Spoken:

            Dang, that squirrel was good.  A little gassy though (burp!)
