Does anyone know the lyrics to a song called "Blue Hair Flying In My Lane" -- it's a parody of "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain." Is it recorded by anyone? Thanks!

These guys are REALLY GREAT!


BLUE HAIRS DRIVIN' IN MY LANE
As recorded by Pinkard and Bowden
Based on Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain by Fred Rose

INTRO: (Spoken)
Well, we'd like to do a kind of a tribute song, now
This is a tribute to all them sweet, little old ladies
"God Love 'em."
That drive around in front of you all the time
On the streets of Nashville, or wherever you may live.

In the taillight's glow I see 'em
(What do we call 'em, Sandy?)
Blue Hairs Drivin' In My Lane
When she hit me and departed
I knew there'd be no insurance claim
Lucky I'm a paid-up member
Here comes good old Triple-A
From the tow-truck I remember
Blue Hairs Drivin' In My Lane.

TALK:
Let's hit it- (Inst.)
Richard, that's nice, but it don't sound like Willie Nelson
Well, man, I'm sorry, I can't play like Willie, you know that
Let's give "Rugged" Robb a chance.
Take it Rob.
I'd be ashamed to. (imitates Willie Nelson on guitar)
Sounds a lot like Willie Nelson
Boy, that really sounds like Willie.

Someday on the streets up yonder
They'll be no-o chevrolets
In a land that knows no parking
And no more Blue Hairs Drivin' In My Lane

I though the Texas group "Part of the Problem" wrote this song.

I believe the singing group Part of the Problem did write this. My Mom had their CD and it was on there I am pretty sure.

I'd like to know more about "Part of the Problem." Allmusic.com, my usual source of information about musicians, doesn't list any group or album by that name. Neither does Amazon.com. Googling for "part of the problem" brings up too much irrelevant stuff. Googling for "Blue hairs driving in my lane" just brings up Mudcat and Pinkard and Bowden.

Could someone just give me a little more information about "Part of the Problem" such as the names of the individual musicians?

OK, I've figured out that Part of the Problem was based in Kerrville, Texas. The band might be defunct; this web address: http://www.partoftheproblem.com/ used to belong to them but is now defunct and for sale. It can be seen via the Wayback Machine.

So far, I haven't found any confirmation—beyond the assertions of our 2 guests above—that they had anything to do with the parody BLUE HAIRS DRIVING IN MY LANE.

Two other bands, one from Waukesha, Wisconsin and another in Atlanta, have the same name, but I think that's coincidendal.
