- LYRICS -

Two step forwards, another backwards
Out on the front line, standing on a land mine
It looks so easy until I'm on my own feet
And faster than the blink of an eye

Feels like I'm losing control 
I don't know which way to go
Feels like I'm losing control 
You'd think by now I'd have learned 

It looks so easy when you hand it to me
Scrawled on the back page a message from the stone age 
And as it crumbles I begin to stumble
Falling through a trapdoor

Feels like I'm losing control  
I don't know which way to go
Feels like I'm losing control 
You'd think by now I'd have learned 

If you try to run and hide 
Then you'll never turn the tide
Endlessly lost at sea
Wasting all your energy
 
You want it, you got it
I need to see you on it
You wanted to feel it
So show me that you mean it

First hand, wandering the wasteland
All I see is quicksand, lapping at my feet
Fall down, catch you on the rebound
Nothing left to say, nothing here left to see

Feel like I'm losing control 
I don't know which way to go
Feels like I'm losing control 
You'd think by now I'd have learned. 
But I know I will return

A celebration of life for my favorite songwriter ever and to honor him BEFORE he dies. Thank you Bob. You truly made the most impact in me as a writer.

Ballad of a Miserable Man   lyric and music © June 2024 by Mike Dampf.  Mandolin: Becky Sora/ Bass: David Leadbitter/ Piano: Mike Ryan/ Special thanks to The Tequila Jam Singers on chorus!

I don't really know what I want
I don't really know who I am
everything I once believed lies
like a mirage on the sand

My life's become a time-share
geckos, cocktails and sun
poolside's reserved for the angels
who know how to please number 1

So judge me if you must
I'm just a miserable man
looking for some love and pleasure
here on God's lay-away plan

We paid for this sham paradise
let the lawnmowers keep it all trim
let the palm trees keep it all shady
and let Happy Hour begin

When the jet taxis out on the runway
and the steward greets you with Death's grin
then tighten your seatbelt my lovely
what a hell of a ride it's all been

Ballad of a Miserable Man

Fox in the Chicken Coupe

Writing songs and kitchen party playing with my many musical friends ... pretty much sums it up.
