Hair of the dog that bit ya
Whether it’s coming back to booze or something worse
Find the right words to fit ya
Could it be love or some kind of curse

I wouldn’t care if it was over
Dragging out lies just for fun
Take up the hunt from a bed of clovers
Finding our luck was out on the run
Out on the run

There’s something worse
Than finding your helpless in love
You kissed me first
And I’m spinning for months after months
How to cheat your own luck?
Hope the fates are out on the run
Out on the run

Armor for sleep to keep me from hurting
Building up walls just tall enough
Board up the keep, to keep you stirring
But unlock the doors so you can come (V)

Who breathes for you, just screaming owls
Outside our window, and peering through
Taking our love like dirty towels
Washin ‘em clean, but I’m falling for you
Falling for you

There’s something worse
Than finding your hopeless in love
You kissed me first
And I’m spinning for months after months
How to cheat your own luck?
Hope the fates are out on the run
Out on the run

Out On Te Run

Out On The Run

This week, it's a special Triple Shot edition of AD. Three from some of your faves and each set has something special in it. Demos, alt takes, live cuts and there's even a commercially unavailable acoustic hit medley from one act. Roll up a couple and turn on the Smoking Lamp. DB is in the house, so turn it up a bit, ok?

Bright Skies Overcast

I’d like to see a younger man do that
(Mark I Anderson)

When I was a younger man
I went chasing love
The moon and stars in smoky bars
I never thought I’d get enough
What a young man doesn’t know
He ain’t had time to learn
The moon and stars and smoky bars
Just pages that you turn…

When I was a younger man
I partied way too long
Rock and roll won’t let you go
Another drink another song
What a young man doesn’t know
He ain’t had time to learn
Rock and roll it don’t let go
It’s a badge you earn…

[1st Chorus]
An older man’s tasted love
He’s watched it come and go
Fallen down and sobered up
Made his peace with rock and roll
Won’t give advice he’ll take it
And kindly tip his hat
I’d like to see a younger man do that…

When I was a younger man
I hid the truth in lies
I burnt it down to the ground
Never stopped to realize
What a young man doesn’t know
He ain’t had time to learn
You burn the truth down to the ground
The echo will return…

When I was a younger man
Tomorrow was the fool
Seize the day, before it fades  
Yeah, that was the golden rule
What a young man doesn’t know
He ain’t had time to learn
Nothing really fades away
The moment always yearns…

[2nd Chorus]
An older man’s heard the sound
When an honest person speaks
He’s given up the burning down
Standing in the moment weak
Won’t give advice he’ll take
And kindly tip his hat
I’d like to see a younger man do that…

[Bridge]
The younger man inside / A renegade for sure
Like a blind man with a map
Son, you’ll go insane / Always wanting more
An old man told me that…

[1st Chorus]
An older man’s tasted love
He’s watched it come and go
Fallen down and sobered up
Made his peace with rock and roll
Won’t give advice he’ll take it
And kindly tip his hat
I’d like to see a younger man do that…

Won’t give advice he’ll take it
And kindly tip his hat
I’d like to see a younger man do that…

I’d like to see a younger man do that

I’d fall in love, all over again with you
(Mark Irving Anderson)
 
I can hear the quiet in the morning hours
Where there’s no need to speak
Within the stillness here, I’m so inspired
As your touch leaves me weak…
 
Weak as a newborn with newborn eyes
To gaze upon your skin
Weak as any man who ever tried
To fall in love again…
 
[Chorus]
I’d fall in love, all over with you
I’d relive each dream, and watch them come true
Once ain’t enough, when you feel like we do
I’d fall in love, all over again with you…
 
I can feel the passion stirring here inside
A gift the morning brings
Lying beside there’s no need to hide
Hide from anything…
 
Before the morning hours begin to fade 
Fading out of sight
Hold me close enough to hear me say
I fell in love again last night…
 
[Chorus]
I’d fall in love, all over with you
I’d relive each dream, and watch them come true
Once ain’t enough, when you feel like I do
I’d fall in love, all over again with you…
 
[Bridge]
And baby if I’m dreaming
That ain’t no big deal
Cause, every time I’m dreaming
This is how it feels… 

[Chorus]
I’d fall in love, all over with you
I’d relive each dream, and watch them come true
Once ain’t enough, when you feel like I do
I’d fall in love, all over again with you…
Once ain’t enough, not when you feel like I do
I’d fall in love, all over again with you…

I’d fall in love, all over again with you

Whenever I’m lying with you 
(Mark Irving Anderson)

[Chorus]
…Tonight, as we’re lying together
Whispering words that aren’t true
The truth it slips right through my fingers
Whenever I’m lying with you…

…I tell you I’m sorry
And I saw the light
No, I haven’t been drinking
I’m sober tonight
I hear the old alibies 
In the bare-naked truth
In the words that I whisper
When I’m lying with you…

[Chorus]
…Tonight, as we’re lying together
Whispering words that aren’t true
The truth it slips right through my fingers
Whenever I’m lying with you…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

…I’ll change direction
Set sail for true north
With the good Lord to guide me
Let him chart the course
But there’s old alibies 
In the bare-naked truth
In the words that we whisper
When I’m lying with you…

[Chorus]
…Tonight, as we’re lying together
Whispering words that aren’t true
The truth it slips right through my fingers
Whenever I’m lying with you…

The truth is it hurts and it lingers
Whenever I’m lying with you…

Whenever I’m lying with you

One last show for 2025. We remember the fallen rockers and other musicians that we lost this year.  And a New Years toast to you, my friend.
