about

MohaviSoul’s new single from upcoming album “Stories and Memories” is a whimsical tribute to Mark Twain’s tenure during the Civil War and Reconstruction as reporter & editor at Virginia City’s paper, Territorial Enterprise, 1862-1868. This song is a collage from some of Mark Twain’s crazy days and deeds out West during the Nevada Silver Rush and Civil War.

lyrics

Make It Up By Randy Hanson
(Key of Em, 127 BPM) MohaviSoul Music (BMI)
(Tribute to Mark Twain’s Civil War/Reconstruction Days in Nevada)
Verse 1
Swappin’ lies at the Bucket of Blood
Silver flowin’, like Virginia City blood
Twain’s crazy stories are floatin’ from his head
Tales for breakfast, on a twisted little thread
Chorus
Headed down from the mines, he’d stumble on home
Twain was their favorite son, shootin’ like the paper’s gun
Paiutes, miners, killers too, make it up and tell a fool
Just to crazy, to crazy, Just to crazy, to Make It Up
Verse 2
Small town dog, is sleepin’ in the street
Small town hogs, got lawyers in a beef
Small town frog, is jumpin’ on your bet
Small town rag, is digin’ up the rest
Chorus
Verse 3
When I was younger, I could remember anything,
Whether it happened or not, ain’t no big thing
Hill Bender Twain, got me square in his sights
Kidnapped by his story, when the truth left town
