​​​Leaf Blowin' Blues
Spoken word lyrics and vocal by Patrick Howe
Instrumentation by Jose Pinero

​Lyrics

​
Some people don't like
my leaf blowin noise
But I got a feed some cute little girls
And a very hungry boy

Gotta keep em in shoes
keep em in school
I work twelve hours shifts
Need more leaf blowin fuel

Don't get mad at me
I'm just doing my job
If you got those leaf blowin blues
You can call my boss

My blowin may be loud
But others in society
are trying to control you 
Only very quietly

I’m not here to bother you
I’ll be outta here soon
try a little inner peace
Quietly in your room

My noise may be annoying
But I’m no sub-human creature
No, I’m helping you overcome your reaction
Cuz I’m your spiritual teacher


I put on my gloves
goggles and headphones
Turn on the chillin’ tunes
get into the blowin’ zone

I get paid to blow leaves around 
And when I’m done
Wind blow’s em back 
where they came from

Isn’t that like life
Trying to get ahead but not
And wouldn’t it really be nice
To always win for what is fought

Life is sometimes like leaf blowin
deafening to the ear
challenging us to not loose our cool
To stay inwardly clear

I use a leaf blower
cuz I’m paid too
at home I use a rake
Cuz I 
want too 

I’m not here to bother you
I’ll be outta here soon
try a little inner peace
Quietly in your room

My noise may be annoying
But I’m no sub-human creature
No, I’m helping you overcome your reaction
Cuz I’m your spiritual teacher
