Rusty Spurr is a figment of my imagination(or vice-a-versa)
The Dusty Chaps Band consists of me, myself & I and hired hands kind enough to help me out with their talent on my demos.

Just for kicks I wrote a song about writing a song. I didn't plan on it. I already had the chorus and started on the verses but it wasn't happening. Woke up the next morning & muttered all day long about the words coming out wrong. And then bingo. I said to myself, thats it, I'll write the verses about writin' this song and hope I can tie it to the chorus. I kept tellin' myself I'm crazy, but I already knew that! I actually played it at the local friendly open mic last week. I left it a little rough with just a guitar and vocal like a song is when first written. Didn't know what genre to put it in, so I put it in trad. country because it has the traditional ABABAB scheme(and a hound dog to boot). Decided to post it just for laughs. Hope it is enjoyed. Thanks for listening.
A Joker In My Heart-(c) 2009 Jim Durall
V1
Let me tell you 'bout the words that came out wrong last night
Tell you 'bout the rhymes I didn't like
How I was singin' all night long, 'bout a joker in a song
And a queen that hides between the lines
Long Chorus
There's a joker in my heart, dealt from the bottom of the deck
Even if deuces are wild, I'd rather have a queen instead
There's a joker in my heart, I ain't laughin' yet
I don't like the way he smiles, I'd rather have a queen instead
Even if it breaks my heart, even if it breaks my heart
Even if it breaks my heart, even if it breaks my heart
I'd rather have a queen instead
V2
I was trackin' down some words, I couldn't find their trail
Even an old hound dogs nose would fail
Well it's only just a song, let the joker have his fun
And the queen between the lines might prevail
Repeat chorus
Well I stumbled on some other words they suit this song just fine
They even had some rhymes I kinda liked
Well this songs been lots of fun, and the jokers never done
And the queen still hides between the lines
Repeat chorus/out
