Blaze Foley - Oval Room - (live at the Cave Club circa 1986)

This footage of Blaze born Michael David Fuller (1949-1989) was recorded during a PSA shoot with local musicians promoting Austin music

Blaze had his guitar and decided to do a couple of songs. Here is the first one "Oval Room", which was dedicated to President Ronald Reagan.(Produced by Tim Hamblin)

  In his oval room, in his rockin' chair

He's the president, but I don't care

He's a business man, he got business ties
He got dollar signs in both his eyes

Got a big airplane, take him everywhere
Got a limousine, when he get there
Everywhere he goes, make the people mad
Makes the poor man beg, and the rich man glad

He's the president, but I don't care
Ooh, Ooooooh, Ooh

At the factory, never been so slow
Got a big fourth down, ninety nine to go
And down on the farm, nothing growing there
But the debts they owe and their gray hair

In the desert sand, and the jungle deep
He thinks everything is his to keep
He's a real cowboy, with his makeup on
Talks to kings and queens on the telephone

He's the president, but I don't care
Ooh, Oooooh, Ooh
