about

The final Portland inspired piece on the album. A night of bar hopping in old town.

lyrics

Anticipation Barnet

You park your car near a popular bar on Fremont;
Neon dancin’ in the puddles on a cool dark Saturday night.
You got your bourbon neat, there’s an empty seat beside you;
You light a cigarette and wait for your baby to show.

Chorus:
Maybe you’ve seen her face before,
Then again maybe not.
Tonight you may kiss her goodnight at her door,
Or feel like the evening is shot.
You see her everywhere you go
And every time you do you realize,
She’s the only girl that you’ve been lookin’ for
Just as she’s walkin’ out the door.

Stay cool, relax, tonight you’ll round that corner;
Just play the loner, maybe she’ll think that’s hip.
Another bourbon neat, not an empty seat, the place is buzzin’;
Anticipation on a cool dark Saturday Night.

Last 1/2 Chorus:
You see her everywhere you go
And every time you do you realize,
She’s the only girl that you’ve been lookin’ for
Just as she’s walkin’ out the door.
Neon dancin’ in the puddles on a cool dark Saturday Night,
You light a cigarette on a cool dark Saturday Night,
Man the place is buzzin’ on a cool dark Saturday Night,
Anticipation on a cool dark Saturday Night.

Shorty and the Mustangs Portland, Oregon

Shorty & the Mustangs was formed in 1996. Big Tex called some of his musician friends to see if they wanted to try something new. Having grown up in Texas, western swing music was calling him home. So they dug out some old Bob Wills and Ernest Tubb records and gave it a shot. The last 10 years the band has created original material with Mr's Wills and Tubb as inspiration.See below and enjoy! ... more
