She was my 2nd Cousin
Well Cletus was in and out of love so many times it hurt
Another day, another night filled with meaningless flirts
There has to be more than just one-night stands
Maybe it's time to open up and look across the land
(Harp solo Ron 0:42 to 0:55)
So, a friend suggested the dating sites as a good option
He signed up with the courage from his favorite concoction
(Gtr Solo Farrell 1:08 to 1:21)
Little did he expect to get so many replies this quickly
A particular one caught his eye and she looked real nifty
So, he answered and to his surprise they set a coffee date
They talked about common interests and all was great
Until they got to family ties and his head was a buzzin'
When he found out the big surprise, she was his 2nd cousin
( Gtr Solo Joseph 2:01 to 2:35)
How in the world could he be lovin' his 2nd cousin?
Out of the other girls, she was the one of a dozen
The afternoon flew by because he really liked Kate
They talked about common interests and all was great
Until they got to family ties and his head was a buzzin'
Then Cletus realized he can't be lovin' his 2nd cousin
Or can he?.........

freakin rocker to the max....wow...love the guitar sounds.... as far as the lyrics go I think they are great too... this song actually explores a complex subject...one which if i were to share my views many would want to hang me up by the bootstraps....
Added this to my ever growing SC folder that I listen to off line....

Excellent rocker Farrell ...thats one hell of a  solo by Joseph....throughly enjoyed ..well its not like its his 1st cousin, how about cousin Helen 

[AndyR]

Wow. This rocks. Love it.

Love the driving feel/groove. All the various lead breaks, and those vocals.

Woo...

[Ray Brookes]

So many great things going on here in this top- notch rocker. First of all the guitar work by you & Joseph is superlative and the recording is first class. Secondly the vocals are so damn good (wish I could sing like that) Ron Bowes is a mate of mine from the UK who I first met on another music-hosting site several years ago. The amusing theme of the lyrics is brill. All in all, a great rocker, Farrell; love it.

Yes a great rocker with some fun lyrics - The Cuzin's sure know how to put a track together - very cool that Ray knows Ron too!

[StephenM]

had to make another comment on this fab song.... listening back through the list of latest songs...and this popped up.... your vocals remind me a bit of Ian Anderson of Tull... pretty cool imo... scorching guitar and great drums...big sound....

[Ferryman_1957]

A great ZZ Top style rocker with some brilliant (and appropriate??) Southern US lyrics...... Loving the guitar work all round and the production is fantastic as always. Great vocal performance as well.

The Cuzins sure is rockin!
