about

"4 Kids, 12 Beers and a Ball Game" is a Johnny Cash styled storytelling song that documents one father's approach to child rearing, accompanied by drunken slide guitar, piano, and harmonica.

lyrics

It’s Saturday night and I am all alone
Unless you count the 4 kids running ‘round my home

But I’ve got 12 beers
So I’ve nothing to fear
Tonight

Their momma’s left me; she says that it’s my turn
She forgot the last time, won’t she ever learn?

Just 8 beers more
And I’ll be on the floor
Tonight

I flip on the tube and much to my delight
I find a ball game on this Saturday night

Got 4 beers left
That’ll probably last me
‘Til the 5th

Now time has passed, must’ve been a good game
But momma’s home now, and she’s a bit insane

Got no more beers
4 kids in tears
I’ll be sleeping on
The couch

Jon Worley, of Aiding & Abetting, says about the record, "Skiles is one hell of a songwriter, and he's just as skilled and charismatic in his recording. What a wonderful, spiky breeze." ... more
