Steve Earle(born January 17, 1955) is a singer-songwriterbest known for his countrymusic and rock 'n roll tinged " alt-country." He is also a published writer, a keen political activist (particularly in protesting against the death penalty in the U.S., as in his song "Ellis Unit One" from the movie Dead Man Walking), and has written and directed a play. Born in Hampton, Virginia, legend has it that a box of Texas dirt, sent by his grandfather, was brought into the delivery room, so that it could be said that the first soil Earle's feet ever touched was Texan. He moved around the U.S. with his parents, before dropping out of school in the 8th grade and heading to Houston, Texas, to explore a career in music. In 1975, he moved to Nashville and worked as a songwriter.

Creepy Jackalope Eye Lyrics
Steve Earle
An elaborate tale
So convincingly real
Things can seem so amazing
til you get up close
And see theyre no big deal
Like the stars in the sky
Or the one on the stage
Just a big ball of gas
And a regular guy
Fresh out of minimum wage
In a jackalope space
On a jackalope high
Im staring you down
Creepy jackalope eye
Many things in this life
Are not what they appear
Yeah I look like a hare
But if you stop and you stare
Im related to a deer
I got a jackalope face
Im a jackalope guy
And Im staring you down
Creepy jackalope eye
Is it so hard to imagine
Is it so hard to believe
Something so outrageous
Something so far fetched
Well how bout adam and eve?
I know you gotta have faith
I know the need to hope
But the truth is always in place
Its right in front of my face
The mighty jackalope
(yeah)
In a jackalope space
On a jackalope high
Im staring you down
Creepy jackalope
And Im staring down
Creepy jackalope
And Im staring you down
Creepy jackalope eye
Freaky jackalope eye
Creepy jackalope eye
Creepy jackalope eye
