ALCOHOL - The Nicest Boy In Kansas // LIVE PERFORMANCE
Channel: yak amore
Date: 14/02/2019

I have everything that I’ve ever wanted.  I have a beautiful wife and 4 amazing boys.  I live in an amazing city Lisbon Portugal and I’m surrounded by culture, books, music and art.  We have the sun, the mountains, the sea.  

When I’m anxious or depressed I try to remember the things I love and how far I’ve come.  When I was a young man I used to drink a lot.  I dreamed of becoming a musician and somehow making a living from my art.  It was all consuming, I spent every moment absorbed in this fantasy until years later I woke up and saw that I had gotten older,  that I had spent so much time in pain agonising about my goals, my ambition, all the things I didn’t have.  I had failed to see the things  that life had given me.  

Life is a constant struggle and every day I become a new man, faced with the same challenges again and again.  Alcohol is one of them and here’s a little love song to it.

I hope that today you are thankful for the things life has given you.

I recorded this song live in Bairro Up studio, my studio in Bairro Alto Lisbon Portugal.  I then quickly added some instruments to make a bigger sound.  

Thank you for listening and please spread the song so that I can have the opportunity to communicate and share my art with an audience.  

Big Hugs!

The Nicest Boy in Kansas

(Lyrics)

On the farm
doing harm
in your arms
true

I am ready
Machiavelli
the art of war
I adore

Alcohol
it’s gonna be with me
until I’ve lost my Al Capone
Alcohol
Sugar sweetly
black trains are coming home

Hock a penny
be my enemy
be my loaded gun
be my lots of fun
be my angel
help me strangle
all the feelings
the birds and bees drink

(Chorus)

fire and brimstone
no women in my home
i disinherit the meek
but Jennifer’s sweet
on me

we shall elope
jet ski down a slope
holiday in the hopes
but I’ll never say nope
