Punch drunk street punk
Playing with a speed bump
Laughing at the dice in the box
Big-wheeled high heeled
Banging on a ball field
Chewing on a bag of rocks
Slingshot cold cocked
Landing on a roof top
Waiting for the turkey parade
Lockjaw jigsaw
Betting on an outlaw
Picking at a purple vein
Picking at a purple vein
He's like a fat man in a little coat
Suckin' red vines and rum and coke
Singing I like ya jesus but I loves the dope
I think it's workin'
I think it's workin' yeah
It keeps me hummin'
Hummin' hummin' yeah
Double dip back flip
Everybody's brainsick
I mighty itty bitty maw
Low ground dog town
Wallow in a thorn crown
Choking on a power saw
Freeway dj
Swimming in the kool-aid
Whettin' up his appetite
Pickled sweet pig feet
Cooking on the concrete
Pimping bits of paradise
Pimping bits of paradise
He's like a fat man in a little coat
Suckin' red vines and rum and coke
Singing I like ya jesus but I loves the dope
Yes sir
I think it's workin'
I think it's workin' yeah
It keeps me hummin'
Hummin' hummin' yeah
For sunny yeah life is but a dream
For sunny it's a ball
For sunny yeah life is but a dream
I mighty itty bitty maw
Dry sober butt smoker
Can't keep your composure
Locomotor pull over
Bi polar roller coaster
Seven women seven hounds
Lucky number going down
Take a hit chew spit
There ya go enjoy the show
Fat man in a little coat
Sucking red vines and rum and coke
Singin' I like ya jesus but I loves the dope
Keeps me hummin'
Hummin' hummin' yeah
I think it's workin'
I think it's workin' yeah
It keeps me hummin'
A hummin' hummin' hummin' yeah
I think it's workin'
I think it's workin'
Yeah

yes! bill played a song by them together 2 days ago and everytime it's on i stop what i'm doing. she's really amazing. i'd have loved to have seen her live.
Alanis Morrisette does it better and she doesn't need JB. Just my opinion, ratty blues guitar and vocals usually just don't cut it for me. If you like it, rock on.

God given talent. Rocks the house solo, even better with Joe Bonamassa.

I will say that if the Democrats had kept the Republicans from their constitutional right to appoint 2 of those Supreme Court justices that you would hear about it every day until the end of eternity. That was some real Non-Democratic B.S. - irrespective of your political views.

What policies? Trump's failed Trade War with China? We lost that battle and now cannot even use the threat as a bluff. His campaign to build a Wall. Trump antagonized one of the US' biggest trade partners, Mexico. His approach to civil protests - badgeless uniformed goons beating and detaining protesters. Yeah, you got a lot to be proud of.

Beth Hart is the bomb. Make way, she's coming through.

This is one of the better songs from Beth Hart, that I have heard. She never errs on the subtle side, that's for sure.

God I love Beth Hart. Such a wild child. Great catalog of stunning tunes:
I'd Rather Go Blind
I'll Take Care of You
Fat Man
and many more ...
Joe Bonamassa is a very lucky man to have found her or vice versa.

Bet she played football with the boys when she was five.
Pimping bits of paradise - Radio?
Upping my rating to 8. This song is growing on me. Kinda got a Keef feel ….
Saw her open for Kenny Wayne Shepherd a few years ago. Great show. She is quite entertaining.
Great lyrics.
Seems like a girl who's paid her dues, love it!

Yep, the reference to purple veins, too. Just know what I know.
This is a drop dead kick ass song. Has the same lyrical assembly of an early Springsteen track, only coming from a whole different place.
My first listen. I'll give it a 9

Having been raised on a farm, I find her "pose" on the tailgate entirely normal. Not to mention, awe inspiring.Weird pose on the cover. Is all I'll say about this whole thing.

Ms. Hart sings WITH Joe B.....not FOR him. And, quite the phenomenal show, I bet they put on together!!! Today's mix is the very reason I support RP!
Sass and Twang - maybe that could be the name of her band.

What Bill G said
maybe not her best (song or album cover) but she is an incredible live act (now) and has a strong core of really great heartfelt songs . Worth checking her out more
This is one of the better songs from Beth Hart, that I have heard. She never errs on the subtle side, that's for sure.
bellissima voce, ritmo travolgente

Hard Fart?
Suddenly that scene from Tommy Boy makes so much sense! It's always been funny, but I thought that was spontaneous gibberish of a comedy genius. I know now that it's a comedy genius repeating someone else's gibberish!!

Yep. And it's even more poignant in today's world given the opiod crisis going on in America, eh?

It's like being in a shitty small town bar, and she's the star and everyone loves her, except me.
Why did someone decide to write a crappy song about Tommy Boy?
Sweet voice.

Interesting you should say that.
I've sometimes 'put rp on' and felt that maybe the overall 'feel' of the music didn't fit with the time of day.
Of course there'll always be that problem when you 'broadcast' globally.
The fact that it only happens to me sometimes, makes me think that Bill & Rebecca might occasionally change things around a bit to suit other timezones.

I think is just chance and luck. After all, as they say, a broken clock is right twice a day!
Just horrible
at 1st listening it was great but hearing it often doesn't sit that well... all that ˝hummin'˝ starts to grate

I have Radio Paradise on 8+ hours a day and I don't remember hearing this excellent song before. I was wondering how I’d missed it? However it looks, from the people who have posted, as if most plays have been in the middle of the night (UK time). Glad the rotation has brought into the daylight!

love to hear her when she sings for joe bonamassa
She's incredible !!! If you can, go see her in concert. She's fabulous! I saw her in Paris (Olympia) in December. Two hours of enormous show. In Europe and in France, we love her.
I try,ostensibly, to stay away from political talk but I just found this Beth Hart Fat Man video, done very recently, at the Royal Festival Hall in London. It seems....appropriate...

A lively and catchy melody that belies the dark, honest lyrics. If someone you care about is (or was) an addict, you'll appreciate just how spot-on lines like "Bi-polar roller coaster" are.
Hey....I am "LIKIN' this one.
"Singing I like ya jesus but I loves the dope."
Well now didn't 'ol Beth of the Hart clan discover Jesus? I seem to recall an interview she did with.....can you picture this one...she did an interview on the Marie Osmond talk show. Can you imagine? Oh how that one must'a shook the ground for some?
Anyway...seems she may have fallen a bit off that particular wagon? No offense to those sensitive but I guess it's a case of the 'ol
Or maybe it's just a little tweak of the nose in the affectionate style only this lady could express?

Beth Hart is as authentic as it comes in country rock.
okay. Catchy tune, makes me think of Chris Farley. However, I have RP on 8 hours a day while I'm working and this has been on every single day for the last week. Can we move from once a day to every other day at least?
girl's godlike imo : P
ok, this is the 4th time i've heard this song this week. come on guys.... it was cute the first time as i recalled chris farley singing the song...
Catchy!

Let's hope this fuckwad dies in prison!
