From her song notes: “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve showed up to a gig to find my last name spelled incorrectly on the marquis. I know it has a lot of letters, but…seriously…Rodriguez is as common as Smith or Jones…it’s not like it’s an unusual name! :) I’m waiting to see some more Z names po...
Cuando era chiquitita, I played a mean fiddle
Been breaking it in ever since I was little
Opera and pearlman honkey tonk violin
Mama took me out so I can take it all in
Abuelita told me never meet them in the middle
It’s better in when you’re older if you don’t learn to settle
Doors are gonna open if you want them to
But you might have to knock 'em down
Not everybody is gonna spell your name right honey
Might get it wrong on the grand marquee
You can just sing 'em a song, hija mía
Tell country music where to put the z
So when you see me in the elevator
Second string spectator fiddle in my hand
Don’t ask me what I play
I play for DJs, presidents, single moms, immigrants
Dodged a few bullets along the way
Solo duet quartet quinceanera
Merle meets Chinte with a little mascara
Fourteen thousand miles and I’m up in a half
Oh, setting the road on fire
Not everybody is gonna spell your name right honey
Might get it wrong on the grand marquee
You can just sing 'em a song, hija mía
Tell country music where to put the z
Not everybody is gonna spell your name right honey
Might get it wrong on the grand marquee
You can just sing 'em a song, hija mía
Tell country music where to put the z
Z was written by Susan Gibson & Carrie Rodriguez.
Carrie Rodriguez released Z on Fri Feb 19 2016.
