Lyrics Tyrone Wells

Tyrone Wells

Tyrone Yodels

So when I was 13 years old, I was with my dad on the i-84 freeway

And I have 4 sisters that hardly ever get alone with my dad

And somehow we got alone

We're on the Oregon freeway, I84 I grew up in Washington

We're hanging out, it's just me and him, and I'm 13 years old

So we're driving along and he gets kind of serious

And he turns to me and says to me

"Tyrone?", and I go, "Yeah Dad?"

"You know your grandma Agnes?", "My grandma Agnes, yeah

I know my grandma Agnes."

He said, "She used to yodel.

And I said, Yeh ok dad, that's cool alright

And we're just driving along

And it gets kind of quiet and he's contemplative

And he goes, hey Tyrone

Yeah dad, what dad?

Your grandma Agnes, she taught me how to yodel

And I said, alright dad, that's cool

We're driving along, and it's really quiet now and serious

Tyrone, yeah what?

Now it's your turn to yodel

So he taught me how to yodel when I was 13 years old

And I know you're all dying to hear me yodel right now

So actually this is part of the show where you snap your fingers like this

This is the song my dad taught me on the i84 freeway when I was 13, so here it goes

Way out on the windswept desert

Where nature favors no man

A buffalo found his brother

Asleep on the sun baked sand

And he said brother what ails you

Has sickness got you this way

But the brother never said because the brother was dead

He'd been dead since away last may

[Tyrone yodeling]

I can feel the jealousy

[Tyrone continues yodeling]
