What the hell, cowboys are the only ones who stay in tune anyway. We got this one song goin thru a few changes here and there, that some of us do, once in a while so, called A Room Full Of Mirrors, explains itself.

[static] "All this static around, here we are tryin to make some good decent static for you. We're gettin all this.. other static. [twang, twang]. Like ta ah, I dunno really. Like to do a slow blues about this cat feelin kinda down because his old lady put him down, his people 'n family don't want him around so he has this big 'ole long frown. And like ah he drags his ass down to the railroad station, waitin for the train to come take him away on the road, be a voodoo child, magic boy, come back. Do it to his old lady one more time, give her a piece because she was so nice to him again. And that's what's in the song so thank you very much. Something possessed me to say that. Yeah it's called Getting My Heart Back Together.
