LYRICS
I know I fucked up real bad and I can't win you back now
I look straight ahead but I don't see a way out of this
Turns out the vow that we made
Didn't mean anything to you anyway

Now everything just seems meaningless to me
I meant it when I said 'til death so let me rest in peace
I know I fucked up
Blame it on my bad luck
There no more bad blood
It's only love

So when you look back do you do so with tenderness
Or am I just another memory that you repress

(Kaiyko)
I wait for you to come around to say
The things I've already heard before
So tell me what's new
Got a broken heart and nothin left to lose
I know 
You're doin okay
But I am always
Thinkin' of ways to
Get right back to you
But it's too late too late
Gotta get back home to our places
Not sure if I can make it
But I will tell you I would take it all for you
If we could take it all back too
Even if it's all even if it's all for you

I Meant It When I Said ‘Til Death, so Let Me Rest in Peace w/ Kaiyko (Prod. Horosha & splashgvng)

lyrics: John Eagle and edro
Production and arrangement: edro
Performed by the Drunken Munch Kins

If you're not into this
I guess I'd understand it
You don't have to say another thing
I know all about it

You'll be gone and I will stay
Or we could do it the other way

I'll be on my way
I won't steal another second of your day
Maybe it's time
Maybe, maybe there's something else for both of us to find

Baby there's got to be
Another way that we could see
We didn't blaze a path
For us to walk apart
Maybe we'll just say

I'll be on my way
Just like any other day
Maybe it's time
Maybe, there's something else for both of us to find

I'll be on my way
I won't steal another second of your day
Maybe it's time
Maybe there's something else for both of us to find

I'll be gone and you will stay
We could do it the other way

I'll be on my way
I won't steal another second from your day

You'll be gone and I will stay
Or maybe we could do it the other way

I'll be on my way
I won't steal another second of your day
Maybe, maybe it's time
Maybe there's something else for both of us to find

Decision Time

Perdido Key: between Pensacola, Fl and Mobile, AL on the Gulf of Mexico with white sandy beaches.

Lyrics: John Eagle
edro: music and arrangement
You say rum and sun don’t mix
I guess it depends on your fix
But I like it better than beer
So, it’s Nelson’s Blood for me
Lost on Perdido Key
Staying in the shade and lee

One thing leads to another
And if I had my druthers
I’d stay here forever and a day
Just watch the scudding clouds
The surf not so loud
Least Terns skittering like ballet

Chorus
I’m lost in Perdido
Capsized my Sea-Do
And having one hell of a time
If I find myself out
And don’t discover the route
It’ll all turn out just fine

Happenstance is relevant
When you mix rum and sun
It leads to serendipity
Without regard to antiquity
And oh boy!
Are we having fun

But then you wake up
Baked as a red drum
Cursing like a pirate on shore leave
But Perdido Key still shimmers
And the blue waters glimmer
It’s here you come to believe

Chorus
I’m lost in Perdido
Capsized my Sea-Do
And having one hell of a time
If I find myself out
And don’t discover the route
It’ll all turn out just fine
It’ll all turn out just fine

Lost In Perdido (lyrics John Eagle)

lyrics: John Eagle
Production and arrangement: edro

It was one of those nights that we had back then
The music staying with us
Long after the band had packed and gone
We stood by the river to wait for the dawn

We were quiet at first, listening to the night
The Vermillion passing in silent right
The moment filled our ears
And we started to dance

Chorus
We danced in wind, blown in from the bay
And I started singing Marina Del Rey
You laughed and you covered your face
Said…everybody wants to sing like George Strait

The old Vermillion ranged by the sleepy walk
And we leaned on the railing to catch a breath
Sitting out the song that wasn’t playing
Our hearts beating in our chest
Yes, it hardly seems a memory at all

That’s just like this old love song
What a time it was, now it’s gone
The slow Vermillion loved us that day
It couldn’t have happened any other way
Couldn’t have happened any other way
Couldn’t have happened any other way

Couldn't Have Happened Any Other Way

I remember talking to John about something fiddley, and his response were these beautiful lyrics, Acadiana. 

John: lyrics
edro: music, vocals, fiddle

Acadiana
The way the moonlight lays
Along the blackwater waves
Such are the memories you carry
When you are so far away

Live oaks arch along the alley
Dripping with silvery Spanish moss
Wish you could smell the oleander
A tunnel of love for those love lost

Chorus
Hooooo-weeee
Acadiana is where you left her
When you started to roam
She’s right here in Louisiana
You know…you wanna go home

The crab pots soak in the marsh
We ready to make a run
Gonna pass a good time tonight
The fest has just begun

Smell the seafood boil
Across the warm summer air
Thick with spices and love
From mama’s rocking chair

Chorus
Acadiana is where you left her
When you started to roam
She’s right here in Louisiana
You know…you wanna go home

Remember the Cajun two-step
The fiddle calling your name
Dance like you’ve got a broken leg
Dosey-do at the music’s change
Hooooo-weeee

Acadiana

John and I wrote this a few years back, but this version has some zip and cuts through this song about something.

We all have expectations
Of who we want to be
Those solid projections
To the people that we meet

It’s all a linear line
Strung from A to B
Until we hit the fork
Where choices lead to Z

It’s all about choices
The choices that we make
It’s all about choices
And the rules we break

Some we live with
Those that make us smile
Some give us a struggle
Test our patience and our guile

If all you want is comfort
Take the known path
But if you want adventure
You’ll have to do the math

It’s all about choices
The choices that we make
It’s all about choices
And the rules we break

Give me a walking staff
Point me across the great morass
And you go down the garden lane
We each have our own path

You must think me daft
And a jester to the core
But I’ll chance the vast unknown 
I’ve taken the safe road before

It’s all about choices
The choices that we make
It’s all about choices
And the rules we break
There go those choices
All along the way
They’re ours alone to make
There go those choices

Choices

Mitch Mitchell: lyrics https://soundcloud.com/user-983692085
edro: music stuff, including guitar

Chorus
I keep a half a glass of moonshine
In the cabinet over there.
It reminds me of the time
I used to live there

Verse 1
It washed away the bitterness of forgotten memories
Eased the pain of a thousand yesterdays
Too many nights sleeping out in the rain
Too many reasons to accept the blame

Verse 2
Driving down the road 100 miles an hour
On a one-way street
Got a gun in my pocket
A bottle in my hand

Chorus
I keep a half a glass of moonshine
In the cabinet over there.
It reminds me of the time
I used to live there

Instrumental break

Verse 3
I’ve got my head against the wall
Feet on the yellow line
I know pretty soon I’ll be doin’ time
I know pretty soon I’ll be doin’ time

That is why

Chorus
I keep a half a glass of moonshine
In the cabinet over there.
It reminds me of the time
I used to live there

That's Why

That's Why (blues version)

Writing and composition kudos to John Eagle and Thomas Kaltenbach. Arrangement and production edro.

I saw you, ‘cross a crowded room
The music played inside my head
It was just a glance, a spark of warmth
But I can’t remember what I said
It was something clever, of this I am sure

We were yards apart yet next to each other
It was cold sometime late in December
The tinsel sparkled just like your eyes
They were the deepest blue, if I remember
Oh yes, deep sea blue, of this I am sure

And then we started walking
Such synergy brought us face to face
Was it the music playing?
Amid the noise of a crowded place
The music played for us, of this I am sure

We felt alone inside a great mass
Then heard the music in our ears
And so danced across the floor
As if we had done it for years
It all captured us, of this I am sure

There we were, a globe among the stars
Two lonely hearts in a meeting of chances
Empty spaces meeting, we fell in the void
Finding ourselves between all the dances
We knew who we were, of this I am sure
Of this I am sure
Oh yes, of this I am sure

Of This I Am Sure

Lyrics: John Eagle

It’s lonely out tonight
The sky is black with rain
I’m waiting for the morning
Cuz I can’t stand the pain
It’s deep inside me
And I know you feel it too
Why can’t we try again
Somewhere new

You’re out tonight
I feel it in my bones
Hopefully somewhere
Not all alone
And I am trying to hold on
To something we had
Let’s stay together
Before it’s all gone

Chorus
My Charlotte
You’re raining on my parade
I thought one day
We would be together
I’m trying to understand
How we got this way
I’m not over you
Honey I just can’t help it
I’m all alone and blue

So I’m standing outside
My tears mixed with rain
Trying to find a handle
On what’s the blame
You were once my girl
The center of my world
And now we’re drifting
And I can’t ease the pain

Oh Charlotte
Give me something
To give us hope
Don’t leave me standing
All alone and blue
I don’t have the answers
I’m just wanting you

Chorus
Oh My Charlotte
You’re raining on my parade
I thought one day
We would be together
I’m trying to understand
How we got this way
I’m not over you
Honey I just can’t help it
I’m all alone and blue

My Charlotte

John Eagle and edro with the Drunken Munchkins

Sometimes, it feels like the Chrysler Building has fallen on me
And here I am, just another piece of rubble
You know the feeling, you feel it too
Like you’re going through life with a rock in your shoe
Remove the rock and set yourself free!
Of course, it’s never as easy as you want it to be
 
Chorus
If I can’t fix me and all that I am
Then give me a bus ticket
Send me as far away from me as you can
Start a new life on a beach without care
Strip me down in all my despair
And screech with the seagulls, out there somewhere
 
If you should find me babbling and undone
Permission granted to have some fun
Oh, to be a pawn in a topsy-turvy world
The compass is on a bender
And doesn’t know up from down
It’s all a big circus, run by the clowns
 
Bridge
Someone find me
On the side of the road
That’s me in the ditch
Cuddling with the toads
 
Chorus
If I can’t fix me and all that I am
Then give me a bus ticket
Send me as far away from me as you can
Start a new life on a beach without care
Strip me down in all my despair
And screech with the seagulls somewhere
 
Mr. Irrelevant, that’s who I am
Come out of the hills like a rambling man
Hey, look at me! I’m nobody, and who cares
A big ball of chum, for the Corsairs
Give a man a fish, feed him for the day
Teach a man to fish, but make him pay his way

If I Can't Fix Me

An old, forgotten Drunken Munchkins song. 

People fight for sacred ground
People learning to love one another
Yes I know true
It's happening to you and it happens everyday

Buildings all around
Falling to the ground
Burning up in flame
Yes I know it's true
But I'll be here for you

Let it out or let it in
People come to play everyday
Yes it's plain to see
But it's happening to me, and it happens every day

People livin' all around
Falling to the ground
Lives go up in flame
I want you to know
That if we play this hand
We'll play it as it lays

Buildings all around
Falling to the ground
Burning up in flames
I want you to know
I'll be standing here
Making sure you're safe

You don't have to take a vow
Let's sit and talk awhile
That's all I ask of you
It happens everyday
People walk away
It's silly but it's true

It Happens Every Day

We die a little every new day
And live a lot every night…
Like an old shanty
We’re apt to collapse from the blight

Other times…
A nightmare descends
On a world stage
And we stare it down
With eyes so flinty
The threshold of stubborn rage

Chorus
No, it’s never easy
We die every day
No, it’s never easy
And live a lot every night

And yet, we rise from the ashes
When many count us out
As designs on a rout
We rise like a creature
From deep in the swamp

Bridge
Try us, if you may
We’re a Big Easy prey
A waypoint for any storm
While the world morns

Chorus

No, it’s never easy
We die everyday
No, it’s never easy
And live a lot every night

Have no fear
In regard to the latest test
It's face down the beast
And say: Let this cease!

As we reach for another beer
And we reach for another beer…

It's Never Easy

 I met Davis in New Orleans near the levee. He and John go back a long way. with real stories to tell. John tells this one.  

Another leaf blew from the tree
And I’m not sure why
And I don’t know why
Another leaf blew from the tree
And I’m not sure why
And I don’t know why

It was a gusty wind
As each life is
Or can be
I’m sure you know

The wind blows late in life
It comes over the hills
And shakes the trees
We all see this

Hang on to the great limb
Spread strong and wide
Huddled leaves shaking
Clattering in the wind

And when the gale ends
A sigh of relief
Live to fight another day
Purloined like a thief

Davis

I love you all so much, from here on out it's all going to be sad music!! i want to make you all proud and i hope you like this song, love y'all, thanks for always having my back <3

Lyrics:

Chorus-

I'm only 19, what do you want from me
laugh all day, just to cry in my sleep
got a whole year before I'm outta teens
8-5-9's just the way I be
Awake all day to escape my dreams
I feel this way, but I wanna be free
Got a whole before I'm outta teens
8-5-9's just the way I be


Verse 1-
When I was only 10 I think I lost myself
I'd go to bed and I'd pray for help
Flash forward only 9 years
I'm still dealing with the same fears

Chorus-

I'm only 19, what do you want from me
laugh all day, just to cry in my sleep
got a whole year before I'm outta teens
8-5-9's just the way I be
Awake all day to escape my dreams
I feel this way, but I wanna be free
Got a whole before I'm outta teens
8-5-9's just the way I be

Verse 2-
I try my best to heal your pain
I know I'm different, but we're still the same
I put love in all my songs
So that you can sing along

Outro-

I'm only 19, what do you want from me
laugh all day, just to cry in my sleep
got a whole year before I'm outta teens
8-5-9's just the way I be

Sleeping With Roses

lost (feat. snow)

Hi. I'm Ed. First off, thanks for listening. 

You might notice a link below to a blog site John Eagle and I started to add a new dimension to the stories we tell. 

Once I played in a band that had two Elvises (Elvi) and adopted the pseudonym edro as a cover.  

Mostly it is me playing guitar, keyboards, mandolin, and whatever else makes sense for a song. Most of the songs are original with a few live. The originals are written and performed by edro. I have been fortunate lately to be involved with some collaborations with some real fine folks.

The intro was written when I first joined SoundCloud. While I collaborate with many fine folks, John Eagle and I have written hundreds of songs together. We are working pretty hard writing good songs these days.
