This hilarious song was written after a big storm hit Nashville. Cheryl was staying with some friends. The storm was over, but the electric power was still out. This song is a very funny description of the situation.
Most of us pretend we don't watch as much TV as we really do, and get embarassed if we get found out. Cheryl doesn't mind admitting that she loves to watch TV, especially late night TV.
- TV
- Words And Music By:
- Cheryl Wheeler
- I'm glad I weren't no pioneer
- Ridin' in a wagon cross the great frontier
- I'm playin' by candlelight power's out here
- And I can't watch tv
- I can't do nothin' - nothin' at all
- Everything comes from a switch on the wall
- Drives me nuts when it won't behave
- No popcorn from the microwave
- Oh yeah yeah, yeah
- Sky's real nice
- Moon's real big
- Stars real bright
- Cable calls and it don't seem right
- That I can't watch tv.
- And it breaks my heart all I'm missin'
- Bowling shows, old guys fishin'
- How the dogs on the track did
- Near death stuff re-enacted
- Where to call to talk to strangers
- Interviews with hockey players
- How to lose a pound a minute
- Make big bucks, be rollin' in it
- Shopping clubs, gladiators,
- Cher's make-up, roller skaters
- Rhinestone studs in your new skirt
- Bald guy stuff, psychic network
- Don't you feel bad for me
- That I can't watch tv.
- (Repeat Chorus)
- Cable calls and it don't seem right
- That I can't watch tv.
