Hey everyone,

Two weeks ago, I heard the most hilarious folk/bluegrass song on FOLKWAYS, KUT Radio Austin.

The chorus went:

I've got five pounds of possum in my headlights If I can just run him over.. Everything will be all right...

That is all I have been able to find doing a websearch. Anyone know who recorded this song and where I can get a copy? Also, would like the lyrics if I can get them...

Thanks!

If you type in "possum", without the quotations marks, int he filter box and set the filter age to 1 year, you will find several threads on possums, including one which has a link to the words, here on another thread.

Hope this helps,

Are we about to hear from Hiroshi Ogura again?
