Ryan Cabrera- You Can Call Me Al
One of his cover songs
GA man walks dDown the street,
he says Cwhy am I sDoft in the middle now,
Gwhy am I sDoft in the middle,
Cthe rest of my lDife is so hard,
GI need a phDoto-opportunity,
CI want a shot at redDemption,
Gdont want to end up a cDartoon,
in a Ccartoon grDaveyard,
bGonedigger, bDonedigger,
Cdogs in the moDonlight,
Gfar awDay my wCell-lit dDoor,
Mr. BGeerbelly, BDeerbelly,
gCet these mutts awDay from me,
you knGow I don't fDind this stuff amCusing anymDore.
GIf youll be my bDodyguard
CI can be your lDong lGost pDal,C  D  
GI can call you BDetty,
and BCetty when you cDall me
you can cGall me Al.D  C  D  
A man walks down the street,
he says why am I short of attention,
got a short little span of attention,
and wo my nights are so long,
wheres my wife and family,
what if I die here,
wholl be my role-model,
now that my role-model is
gone, gone,
he ducked back down the alley
with some roly-poly little bat-faced girl,
all along, along
there were incidents and accidents,
there were hints and allegations.
If youll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal,
I can call you Betty,
and Betty when you call me
you can cGall mDe ACl,D  
call me GAl.D  C  D  
A man walks down the street,
its a street in a strange world,
maybe its the Third World,
maybe its his first time around,
he doesnt speak the language,
he holds no currency,
he is a foreign man,
he is surrounded by
the sound, the sound,
cattle in the marketplace,
scatterlings and orphanages,
he looks around, around,
he sees angels in the architecture,
spinning in infinity,
he says Amen and Hallelujah!
If you'll be my bodyguard...
That's all folks and wat up to my Gregger Bailey!
