From Jeff Gordon's debut May 2020 release "Better Late Than Never"

Lyric:
It's right before your eyes
Don't blink or you might be surprised
It's a Rainbow
Like a road running up to the sky
You can ride it if you let your mind fly
It's a Rainbow

Once I searched for the pot of gold
Now I know that I'll never grow old
It's a Rainbow
I think you should try it to
If you do, you'll never feel blue
It's a Rainbow

Green, yellow and red
Lose the negativity in your head
Indigo, orange and blue
Let your rainbow guide you

Now that I've gone and blown my mind
I think I'll do that all of the time
It’s a Rainbow
So now I’m in the swing of things
Can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring
It's a Rainbow

It's a Rainbow all for you
A Rainbow will always be true

It's A Rainbow

From Jeff Gordon's May 1, 2020 debut release "Better Late Than Never"

Lyric:
This Old House is falling
Crumbling all around the years
This Old House is mourning
Won't hold back any tears
But it holds on to the memories
Pictures faded in the sun
Children playing in the attic
With laughter from everyone
This Old House

This Old House is yearning
For the time when it was young
This Old House is aching
To hear those songs that were sung
But now its rooms are silent
Creaky floors and broken glass
Doors that open when the wind blows
Wishing time had never passed
This Old House
 
[Interlude]
 
This Old House is knowing
Accepting that the end is near
Yet This Old House is singing
Celebrates what happened here
It smiles with gentle knowing
Sitting there in the sun
With walls surrounded by tall grass
And nowhere it can run 
This Old House

This Old House

Lyric:
Gonna turn off the news
Don't wanna feel these blues
There are storm clouds in the air
But no one seems to care
Each side is in their corner
Leaving not an inch to breathe
Bottled up in so-called safety
That's no way to be free

It doesn't matter anymore
Too many people keeping score
And I don't want to live like that
I run away from that in seconds flat
So I will walk right out the door
And they won't even know what for
And I have no doubt
They'll never figure it out
It doesn't matter
Doesn't matter anymore

Sometimes the truth doesn't take
What's real some call fake
Like a leopard in disguise
With spots turned into lies
All of us are guilty
At least once in a while
But most would never admit it
Guess that's just gone out of style

It doesn't matter anymore
Too many people keeping score
And I don't want to live like that
I run away from that in seconds flat
So I will walk right out the door
And they won't even know what for
And I have no doubt
They'll never figure it out
It doesn't matter
Doesn't matter anymore

Doesn't Matter Anymore

From debut album "Better Late Than Never" released May 1, 2020

Lyric:
She had kinda lost her way
She wondered if she would be ok
A sadness dripped from her like rain
Wished she could brush away some pain
Something like a tender hug
Would be better than any drug
What was she gonna do?

All she wanted was to be
Wrapped in Flowers
Absorbing all the love that she
Yearned for hours
All she wanted was to be
Wrapped in Flowers
And she would glow with the energy
That wiped all her tears away
(Wrapped in Flowers)
(Wrapped in Flowers)

Being alone was not her style
She'd been on that road for quite awhile
She kept on lookin' for a sunny day
Some shiny hope for a better way
In her dreams she felt alive
A true love that would survive
Would she see it through?

Chorus

Wrapped In Flowers

ORIGAMI BUTTERFLY
You were quirky as a kid
And everyone loved you
You had an infectious laugh 
And always looked on the bright side

It was so unfair and senseless
Destined to a world of hallucination
Why your mind had to take the detour
Swept away like sand in an ocean tide     

Origami Butterfly
Croquet in the back yard
Going on a Sunday drive
With mom and dad
Your yellow hair blowin' in the wind
What happened to you is a sin
And it hurts too much to think
Who you might have been

Voices in your head persistent
Became your reality
Not understanding what is real
Life has not been fair to you

Journals filled with nonsense pages
Not like the kid I used to know
You were smart beyond your years
Most people don't even have a clue

Origami Butterfly
Croquet in the back yard  
Going on a Sunday drive
With mom and dad
Your yellow hair blowin' in the wind
What happened to you is a sin
And it hurts too much to think
Who you might have been

Lyric:
It might begin with a verbal confrontation
Opposing viewpoints and then honesty is questioned
Accusations fly like icy rain in winter
Bitter ridicule and no one is a winner

Are we closing the book
On the art of comprising
We've all gone to our little comfort zone
Are there some of us who see
Common sense must start arising
Before our worst angels are set in stone
Then we're all alone

A misguided leader who demands total loyalty
Lays vicious fiery scorn at all those who disagree
Doesn't seem to care who's head he is twisting
While others shake their heads and never stop resisting

Are we closing the book
On the art of comprising
We've all gone to our little comfort zone
Are there some of us who see
Common sense must start arising
Before our worst angels are set in stone
Then we're all alone

All Alone

Multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Jeff Gordon is excited to be at the beginning of a new later-in-life career. Jeff's original style varies from driving alt-rock to more mellow sounds. Topped with an emphasis on harmony vocals, his music is a stark contrast from his work as a trumpet player and educator. With several new projects in the works, Jeff is looking forward to sharing more of his music in the near future.  Following his debut May 1 release "Better Late Than Never," next up will be an album coming out later this year with lyricist John Nicholsen.
