Project 12

It took me a long time to complete this for several reasons. At times, John (or I) would forget the title, but I would tell him I had worked more on it. I liked the words from John, but couldn't find the emotional center. Glad I stayed after it now.

John: lyrics
Edro: arch-top guitar, vocals, octave mandolin, piano

It's a pretty little blacktop
With yellow stripes running long
How i got here's a story
Best served in a song
And you'll say, Lucien
You're a loser
Don't know how you get along

Chorus
I'm broke down
On the side of the road
No place I'm going
Or which way to go
If heaven's a highway
I'm doomed where i stand
End of the road
For old Lucien Ferrand

My life's a story better than Job
It started in a womb
Now this blacktop road
My mom was a saint
Or something real close
She put up with dad
And loved me the most

I been there and done that
Got the shirt to tell
But no one told me
How deep was the well
It's best summed up
By a paramour of mine
Lucien, she said, you're a tough sell

Chorus

If luck was a bucket of mishaps
And my troubles all existed there
Why I'd toss the old bucket in the well
And mayhaps my luck will flare
And head toward a nicer place
On this yellow striped blacktop
Right now, it's about all i can bear

It's true, I'm broke down
On the side of a road
But I know where I'm going
That i can guarantee
And it ain't the hell highway
With a yellow stripe brand
It's just the beginning
For old Lucien Ferrand

"Strings & Theories"

I never gonna care about my age
but it's a turn around

I don't wanna chain my self again
so  it's a turn around

I just don't know why
the rules of game had change again
then it's a turn around

Don't you think it twice
turn around and say goodbye
Noone can't remind your rules
and noone realy wanna do for you

We only have to live and die 
sometimes we fight each other now

How long we go 
When everything will over
Where is a turn around
Where is a turn around

I Never gonna much to loose
I really wanna know the truth
I don't wanna live forever and ever more

Turn around

Watch Out
