Pity Not The Armadillo Lyrics
Pity not the armadillo
He gets around
Although he’s so slow
The people swerve ‘cause he’s in their lane
He’ll mosey on along the highway
He’ll get there soon enough
Pity not the armadillo
His calloused head
It needs no pillow
He’ll roll himself into a ball
He’ll close his eyes and then he’ll fall
Into a dusty Texas dream
Pity not the armadillo
His brain is pea sized so he won’t know
That a rancher in a rover
Is about to run him over
He doesn’t think, he just goes
Walk on, walk on, you armadillo
Walk on, walk down that road
Walk on, walk on, you armadillo
Pity not the armadillo
Let him be and let him burrow
May his armor be like steel
May the wind be at his heel
And may his anthills over flow

wow, kind of random… but i love it. it’s such a beautiful song, i think one of my favorites so far.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: I’m amazed that such a beautiful song could come out of such a goofy title. And yes, I shamelessly exploited your love of the armadillo to get my title into your good graces.
Clever song, like the melody
I think I’m in love with armadillos
this has nothing to do with armadillo, but am I understanding correctly that you wrote, recorded and mixed all these songs in 28 days?!?! sheesh. I hope your girls got so see their mom being amazing.
Like the old tyme production on this one. Makes it sound like was recorded back in a 50’s Nashville. Another winner!
Great songs so far Flo!….
