Ballad Of Ezra James Lyrics - Pete Frega

I heard your name on country talk, I hope it ain't spelled wrong. 

You seem to me an honest man, they said you needed songs. 

I know the sound is not the best, it's the best that I could get. 

My neighbor John Ray helped me and I sung in his cassette. 

Well mister maybe you could help me find 

a singer who could give it wings, I promise it would fly. 

This song is all I have to change my life. 

I'm sure that you could make it sound just right. 

We got three kids and counting, two girls and a boy, 

and Nora works the nightshift at the I-Hop in Des Moines. 

She believed in me when we were young but I got tired of trying. 

It's hard to keep a dream alive when something pure is dying. 

Chorus

Well enough of my self pity. I didn't mean to waste your time. 

We're up in Story City, north on 35. 

You can reach me at this number, the clerk there knows my name. 

I thank you for your trouble. 

Sincerely, Ezra James
