My Bourbon Burst Blues

Catching a ride on the bus
Strangest people sitting way too close to me
Ride is free, I can’t complain
Air conditioned going where I need to be

Don’t get to decide who’s sitting next to me
Don’t get to decide if they’re gonna talk to me
But I have no doubt I’ll smell them

Scheduled stop on 22nd street
Corner where I wait to see what’s gonna be
Transfer to Speedway Boulevard
Closer to the median where I hold my own

Don’t get to decide who’s sitting next to me
Don’t get to decide if they’re gonna talk to me
But I have no doubt I’ll smell them

Watch I pull a fast one
No one knows more than me

Whole day worth of sun and heat
Take a ride and cool it off ’til I get my fix
Someone always contribute
Some voluntarily and others not so much

Don’t get to decide who’s sitting next to me
Don’t get to decide if they’re gonna talk to me
But I have no doubt I’ll smell them

Watch I pull a fast one
No one knows more than me


No One Knows More Than Me

Only got leftovers
A little more than what I was asking for
Take a little morsel home

Got a feeling I ain’t seeing anything going on
Got a feeling I might have missed everything
You told me that I need to know

Call the waiter, need a box
Carry in my hand if it don’t fit inside
Too stuffed to finish up

Got a feeling I ain’t seeing anything going on
Got a feeling I might have missed everything
You told me that I need to know

Questions go unanswered because
You’re asking the wrong question
Ask me something else

Paid the bill and walking out
Satisfied, laugh to myself
Check the score
Take a little morsel home

Got a feeling I ain’t seeing anything going on
Got a feeling I might have missed everything
You told me that I need to know

Questions go unanswered because
You’re asking the wrong question
Ask me something else


The Leftovers Song

Ten to one and due at one
Impossible to be to work on time, impossible
Assimilation is what I’m going for
Appreciation is all I’m asking, not disregard

Find my way, freedom and happiness
Beyond these walls, find my way

Boss is busy running ‘round in circles chasing 
After something we call adoration, amazing
Sneaking ‘round the back way 
Trying not to get noticed
Ten minutes late again, shoot, not again

Find my way, freedom and happiness
Beyond these walls, find my way

Oh, can’t see myself
Worried ‘bout tomorrow

Find my way, freedom and happiness
Beyond these walls, find my way

Oh, can’t see myself
Worried ‘bout tomorrow

Find myself up in the break room eating candy bars
Watching T.V., nothing getting done
End of my day I’m asked to stay
Finish pile of work that never stop piling up
No, I’m gone


When I Dream About Work

Every time I see your face
Reminded of beautiful place
Don’t need to be reminded that
All is not enough

Given the choice 
I’d never have guessed
But I’ve got no choice

Asking for a simple favor
Mind if I could sit with you more?
Gentle gesture, human nature
Gift to ease my heart

Given the choice 
I’d never have guessed
But I’ve got no choice

Make everything easy
Easy on the eye

Now we know as years have passed
Love always been, always will be
Comparing to rarified air
Easiest choice ever made

Given the choice 
I’d never have guessed
But I’ve got no choice

Make everything easy
Easy on the eye


I'd Never Have Guessed

Call out for help, got a bit of a problem
Cracking up under my foot begun to leak
I see rust coming through, been here a while
Water is about to flood us out

Find a way to make this right
Find a way to make this right

A tension break, or run aground, getting worse
Keep getting worse since it was found
Pressure seem to continue building
Could be a major break at hand

Find a way to make this right
Find a way to make this right

All hands on deck
We’re taking an ocean of water

Find a way to make this right
Find a way to make this right

All hands on deck
We’re taking an ocean of water

No time for discussion
Let’s get this resolved
There’s always a solution 

Find a way to make this right
Find a way to make this right


Find A Way To Make This Right

I write and record my own songs in my home bedroom studio. I play the guitars and bass, do all the singing, and have world class drummers from EZDrummer3 on all these songs. The song lyrics are from my head and heart. I hope to make more music soon so check back every so often👍
