From the recording Life and Depth
Lyrics
Telecast
Thought I did but I guess I don't
have enough money to get home
would you front me just a couple of bucks
I'll hit you back when my luck
is better than it is right now
this telecast
is from the future of my past
I used to sing the song about broncin buck
with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
now I just eat the big dessert
and wonder when my back won't hurt
the way it does right now
this telecast
is from the future of my past
There's a good rhythm to the rock and roll
but sometimes you gotta lay it down real slow
I get nervous when the rent and the krama come due
but the drama's still there after I'm all through
just the way I am right now
this telecast
is from the future of my past
Now love has a way of breakin on through
even when the hero is a drunken fool
the story goes with the writer's ink
but there's nothing more to find now under the sink
life was never better than it is right now
this telecast
is from the future of my past
