A funny take on a sorta true story.  I hope it gives you a smile and helps you concur whatever you are running through today! A BIG thanks to John Lobello for his performance of this song! Isn't he amazing!?!

We went for a run on a back country road.
Singing a cadence. Trying not to moan.
We’re huffin’ and we’re puffin’. We ‘round another bend.
I’m sucking wind and thinkin’, “When’s it gonna end?”

(Chorus)
I need a beat, a song I can run to all day!
I need a beat! Something that will carry me away!
Give me a beat! Nothin’ that’s too tired or cliche!
I need a beat!

I look to my left through the TN fog.
I see a civil war drummer sittin’ on a log.
He gave me a salute. Not sure what to do,
I asked him politely, “What happened to you?”

He said “I’m not sure. No light was revealed.
I’ve been here all alone on this old battlefield.
No one left to play for.” He looked at his old drum.
I smile and ask, “Hey, you up for a run?”
 
(Chorus)

Rodriguez looks behind him. Jones pretends he doesn’t see.
My buddies think I’ve lost my mind. I’ve finally gone crazy!
But Logan sees me smiling up a dadgum hill.
He says “You must be nuts but man, I need your skill!”

(Chorus)
My squad starts getting rowdy to the tune of the unseen.
Jokin’ cutting up, ‘cause wow, The beat is mean!
Then Sergeant calls my name, my heart sinks to my feet.
I ask him, “Yes Sir Sergeant, what is it that you need?”

He raises one eyebrow. Says, “I hear you way back there.
Laughing, having fun, running, not a care.”
Teach me that song, so I can sing it too.
Then my whole unit will be running like you!”

(Chorus)

I Need a Beat

I wanna feel alive, but I've never been damn good
'Cause I don't wanna waste your time
Since you left, I lost my drive
To face another day and climb

It's always been too good to last
And I spoke to my heart in vain
Tears and joy are the mix of the past
And now my mind's a hurricane

Bye bye my worries and my fears gonna end up tonight
My my how beautiful you are when you shine your light
But I need to check into rehab
You saved me for the rest of the day hey hey
I'm okay to sit right by your side

I've been chasing after the feeling
Of something that I can't describe
I'm holding on but I am reeling
And my soul is trying to revive

Bye bye my worries and my fears gonna end up tonight
My my how beautiful you are when you shine your light
But I need to check into rehab (ahhh)
You saved me for the rest of the day hey hey
I'm okay to sit right by your side

J'fais une mélodie même si rien ne m'attend
J'fume du shit et j'vois c'est comme ça que j'mène la vie à fond
De base j'étais mal parti toute façon
J'me perd, plus en plus de mélodies bressons

J'pete mon crane sur une mélodie, plus envie que ça s'finisse
J'pete mon crane sur une mélodie, plus envie que ça s'finisse
Là je kiffe à fond, comme dire fuck à son patron, ouai
Là je kiffe à fond, comme dire fuck à son patron

Bye bye my worries and my fears gonna end up tonight
My my how beautiful you are when you shine your light
Bye bye my worries and my fears gonna end up tonight
My my how beautiful you are when you shine your light
But I need to check into rehab
You saved me for the rest of the day hey hey
I'm okay to sit right by your side

Mais fuck son patron c'est de gauche ça non?
Hè vas-y roule un pétard

I have a great attraction
To all the ones
Who don’t have one distraction
From what they want

I can’t fault what you’re doing
I wish I could
If I get lost pursuing
Just carry on 

Every step that is taken
We take alone  
In search of what we’re craving 
A thing unknown

I don’t think something’s missing
In all the ones
Who through their indecision
Get left behind

I’ve got such admiration
For all the ones
Who know no deviation
From all their plans

And where there’s satisfaction
In your way
Of living in the action
It’s not my way

A great attraction

Those Mighty Chains

January-2-2024 my wife left me after 20 years of marriage. I feel like a loser. I lost my family. Fell into a deep depression and loneliness. I feel like an outcast and this world won’t slow down or show mercy for anybody.

I'm a songwriter first and foremost. It is my passion. I will never claim to be a singer but I do my best with what I was given. If what I write has given you a moment of joy or introspection, then that is enough.
