Beck - Heartland Feeling (Golden Feelings)

Beck performing "Heartland Feeling" from his 1993 Sonic Enemy debut album "Golden Feelings."
Lyrics- Alright, what we're talking about here is a kind of a, it's a heartland feeling. Mellencamp, you know, kind of a Mellenfeeling. OK, what you got to get together is some heartland folk singer, we're gonna need it real quick...John Cougar Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, that type of feel...a Mellen-feeling. A real powerful, approving music of a heartland quality, uh just powerful, straight forward music and if you can't get just the right type of feeling, find someone who'll pass and change them. Old Man Johnson got his head in his hand Making his way across state in a fiddlin' band With hair all down in his eyes And a microphone all covered with flies When he gets done playing, goes back to his room Climbs into bed in his cowboy boots And he picks up a magazine, turns on the tv Lights a cigar as he's falling asleep Well, he's only a person who doesn't know shit Yeah, nothing happening, that's about it, yeah Well, little Rosanna came from Texakan Had fourteen dollars wrapped in a bandana Came into town not looking for much Well, she found a hound dog and she named him Dutch She got a job at the arcade taking quarters But she was never too good at taking orders So one night, she stopped giving out change She kicked the boss in the shin and unplugged the games She's only a person who doesn't know shit Nothing happening, that's about it, ooh yeah yeah yeah Sam got canned at the cannery He punched out the clock that night His knuckle was bleeding as he walked home He was cold and he had a headache Well, his wife was cooking canned beans He took out all the money out of his jeans And he set it on fire in the kitchen sink As his wife handed him a drink He was only a person who didn't know shit Nothing happening, that's about it, yeah huh Smiler was looking for handouts Sleeping in an abandoned lighthouse Down at the minimall, shaking his hat Washing windows with his bare hand He found a sports car with the keys In the ignition, it just seemed so easy He took a joy ride, drove it into a hedge Came out with a steering wheel wrapped around his head Well, he's only a person who doesn't know shit Nothing happening, that's about it, ooh ooh yeah Well Jane was born in a small town Everybody just standing around They had bingo games and a raffle Everybody chewing tobacco Well, she grew up kind of restless All her boyfriends wanted to be dentists 'Til she got a job at the truck stop And she got old fast and never did what she want She's only a person who doesn't know shit Nothing happening, that's about it, oh yeah... ooooh Credits- Acoustic Guitar: Beck Hansen Vocals: Beck Hansen, Steve Hanft Written By: Beck Hansen Produced By: Beck Hansen This Video Edited By: StrayBlues Thanks To: youtube.com, whiskeyclone.net, beck.com, UMG MMVIII
