Artist picture
Chris Jay Becker is an American singer-songwriter whose music has been compared to Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and Johnny Cash.
I'm Chris Jay Becker. I'm a singer-songwriter and guitar-thumper with the occasional foray into mandolin, blues harp, and slide guitar. My songs mix rock, country, folk, the blues, and gospel. You could call it Alternative Country, Acoustic Rock, or Roots Rock. Think John Mellencamp, Steve Earle, or acoustic Springsteen. I hope you like these songs. They're lo-fi acoustic demos, but I think they're pretty good songs.lke

Lyrics
I'LL GET YOU MY PRETTY I. She came to California on a one-way Greyhound seat, she said, "Hey, boys, let me warn ya, us Kansas girls can't be beat." Prechorus She hit the road for somewhere where dreams are always free, well, I may not be a Wizard but I know how to dream. Chorus I said, "Somewhere over the rainbow, there's I place I'll take you to." I said, "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too." II There's an empty place in the closet of the place where she used to be her suitcase is packed and it's by her side as she sits here looking at me. Prechorus 2 Yeah, she hit the road for somewhere, down around the bend, well, I may not be a Tinman, but my heart is on the mend. Chorus I said, "Somewhere over the rainbow, there's I place I'll take you to." I said, "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too." Outro She came to California on a one-way Greyhound seat she said, "Hey, boys, let me warn ya, us Kansas girls can't be beat."
