Toolmaster Of Brainerd

Trip Shakespeare

He held a job at the Buckeye Creamery

Toolmaster of Brainerd

He had a way with the old machinery

Toolmaster of Brainerd

But on the day when the shutdown came

All his old girlfriends looked the same

He rumbled down for a change of scenery

Hello, Toolmaster of Brainerd



Inside his case was a Gibson Disaster

Toolmaster of Brainerd

He played guitar like a master but faster

Toolmaster of Brainerd

He came to town on a charter bus

Too young and sweet to be hustling us

He played guitar like a natural disaster

Play on, Toolmaster of Brainerd



A letter came from the Buckeye Creamery

It said, "Mr. Master of Brainerd

We're going to start up the old machinery

Mr. Master of Brainerd"

Then all this old girlfriends lined up in the sky

And told him to kiss the Twin Towns goodbye

He rumbled up north for a change of scenery

Goodbye, Toolmaster of Brainerd
