A pious fella who fools around... Robot Raven robotraven.com

100 Mile Mormon was an idea from a short story written by my friend and neighbor, Steve Heaps. I thought a fellow who is pious at home but a playboy a hundred miles away deserved a song. His partner in crime, a "wandering jew" is, of course, a term for a type of houseplant, among other definitions.

100 Mile Mormon (refrain) He’s a hundred mile Mormon, She’s a wandering jew. When they got far enough away they knew what they could do. A bottle of Jack Daniels – a room without a view. This ain’t Salt Lake City, hon, no one will have a clue. Back home, he’s a living saint. Virtue through and through. Passed on all temptation. Good citizen, tried and true. But when he gets restless – time to get out of town where no one knows him – he can fool around. (mid8) Back home, she’s a librarian, quiet and demure. Looking for excitement – something not so pure. Living in a fishbowl has everyone watching you. Time to make a getaway – a thirst for passion overdue. (refrain) Together, a hundred miles away they shared a single bed. A secret kept so silent or lives would be in shreds. Among the saints and sinners you think you know so well, there’s a side you’ll never see hidden in their hell... (refrain) x
