I've been attending school at SF State now for three weeks and I'm very homesick. My mom is a saint and my dad is basically a local legend on the Southern California rock scene. I'm experiencing severe separation anxiety. I've been keeping my nose to the grindstone because I want to make my parents proud and prove to the world what a stud I am by graduating with flying colors like I did in High School. Planning on going into teaching but the little voice in my head keeps telling me I was a born salesman. No matter. I'm going to make a difference in peoples lives like I did with my band "Silver War".

At any rate, I'm hitting it hard and there are great peoples here in San Francisco. Here's a picture of my dorm room.
See you in Chinatown. Peace out,
J.B. aka Big Gene Jr
p.s. please send money
This always helped me when I was homesick in College. (I was a surfin, Aloha shirt and Cowboy hat wearing kid. It's the only explanation I have for loving Jerry Jeff Walker. That and he could drink more than any man I'd ever seen)

1st verse
Well, when you're down on your luck,
and you ain't got a buck,
in London you're a goner.
Even London Bridge has fallen down,
and moved to Arizona,
now I know why.
And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor
is drier than than the Texas sand.
You can put up your dukes, and you can bet your boots
that I'm leavin' just as fast as I can.
Chorus
I wanna go home with the arma [Am] dillo
Good country music from Ama rillo and Abi lene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever [G]
seen.
2nd Verse
Well, it's cold over here, and I swear
I wish they'd turn the heat on.
And where in the world is that English girl
I promised I would meet on the third floor.
And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I've got
is a smoke and a cheap guitar.
My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin'
to be home in a Texas bar.
Chorus
3rd Verse
Well, I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat
and go down to Marble Arch Station.
'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his chances.
Chances will be taken, that's for sure.
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize
that some people call manly footwear.
And they said you're from down South,
and when you open your mouth,
you always seem to put your foot there.
Repeat chorus 'til the cows come home
