The Name Game

I've been thinking a lot over the last week or so about what my first blog post would actually be about. And it finally came to me. The reason why I chose the title- Aromatherapy Cowgirl!

Aromatherapy Cowgirl is a song that my dear girlfriend Rosie Flores wrote and often dedicates to me when she plays it live at her shows. I know it wasn't written for me, but if the boot fits...

Here's the lyrics:

She's had broken conversations on moonlit nights
Tequila stained carpets and bar-room fights
She shuffles her feet across the desert sand
With a Carlos Castaneda novel in her hand
She dances to Buck, Elvis and Merle
She's an Aromatherapy Cowgirl.

Drivin' down the road and it feels like heaven
In a rag-top Ford, 1967
Tumbleweeds flyin' past her coffee cup
At the Rattlesnake Grill eating sunny side up
Let her read your cards and watch your future unfurl
She's an Aromatherapy Cowgirl.

It's another spiritual revelation
She's dreaming again about saving the Nation
Incense, candles, herbs from the vine
Some old George Jones and some home-made wine

You can't tell her anything she don't already know
She's Las Vegas lucky man, she's on a roll
Got a California bungalow that she calls home
Next to a little honky tonk where she uses the phone
She's a one-step, two-step, twelve-step girl
She's an Aromatherapy Cowgirl

Well, if she's had a bad day
There's an explanation
It's Mercury's fault - went into retrogration
Her Scorpio's rising
And she's rockin' the house
But when the moon is full
Well, then you better look out!
For that one-step, two-step, twelve-step girl
She's an Aromatherapy Cowgirl

She's Undeniable -
So Incredible -
Meditational -

OHM

Aromatherapy Cowgirl.

*Sometimes Rosie adds "She goes to 11" after the So Incredible line. It's an inside joke and it just cracks us both up when she does it!


Rosie is a fantastic writer, guitar-slinger, singer-songwriter and a most importantly, a very dear friend to me. She just celebrated her big SIX-O on the 10th of September, so Happy Birthday Virgo lady!

xoxo!
