No Longer On The Run ( Original )

Six Feet Never Felt So Far. By Glenny G November 8th 2021
SIX FEET NEVER FELT SO FAR
I RIDE ALONE IN MY CAR
I LOOK TOWARDS A DISTANT STAR
WONDER IF THERE'S LIFE ON MARS
WENT TO FISH MY FAVORITE LAKE
WHEN THE GROUND BEGAN TO SHAKE
I'VE NEVER FELT A REAL EARTHQUAKE
AM I ASLEEP OR AM I AWAKE
I CAN'T DENY IT I SEE THE SIGNS
AS THE SUMMER FRUIT ROTS ON THE VINE
NOW THEY SAY THERE'S CLIMATE CHANGE
STORMS AND FIRES HAVE MANY NAMES
WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME
LIFE ON EARTH IS NOT THE SAME
THE WILDLIFE DISAPEARS
WE NEVER SHED A SINGLE TEAR
WE JUST BURN OUT ANOTHER YEAR
THEN LOOK OURSELVES IN THE MIRROR
BUT THERE'S A GOOD LIFE STILL AHEAD
I'M STILL BREATHING AND GODS NOT DEAD
GODS NOT DEAD NO GODS NOT DEAD 
SOLO/CHORUS
THERE SEEMS TO BE TWO DIFFERENT TRIBES
WE'RE CUT IN HALF AND THEN DIVIDE
ALL ALONG IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT
SIX FEET APART NO END IN SIGHT

Six Feet Never Felt So Far (Original) With Lyrics

Sea of Pain    " Influenced by the Guitar Style of " Robin Trower

A country hearted song today . From my poem 
Working on my LAST NUMBER ONE by Glen Granthem
Playing my Ovation sitting in the sun
Trying to write a song That'll reach Number One
Music is the center to everything I see
And it only gets better when you let yourself be free
Yes I'm working on my last number one
Yes I'm writing this song just for fun
Strumming my Ovation adding to my list
But maybe there's something I've  missed
Well I've been playing music for over sixty years
Can't stop those melodies ringing  in my ears
I can only do it my way Country Rock and Blues
Playing all the parts anyway I choose
Working on my last number one
 I'm writing this song just for fun
Strumming my Ovation adding to my List
 But maybe there's somethings I missed
SOLO

Lyrics Black Cranberry by Glen Granthem
No I Can't Find My Way And I'm Done For Today
I Feel The Setting Sun Going Down On Me 
And I'm So Far From Home And I'm Feeling All Alone
I Can't Feel The Colors In My Skin
I Couldn't Understand I Never Had A Plan " Had A Plan "
Now I'm Out On A Limb Where My Options Are Thin
Hanging On The Edge With No End In Sight
I Need A Helping Hand There's No Place To Land " No Place To Land "
SOLO
Yeah The Waves Come Crashing In  ,  Yeah The Waves Come Crashing In
And I'm So Far From Home And I'm So far From Home  And I'm So Far from Home........................

The Art Of The Deal By Glenny G's One Man Band ( Original ) 2023
LYRICS
The legend lives on top of the hill
And if you reach out you'll find it still
Empty those pockets throw out those pills
Imagination can burn out or kill
The time your given is not guaranteed
Don't find yourself man lost in a dream
Open your heart and plant a seed
Or all you'll leave is sorry and greed
Your not a magazine Or just a faded dream
Or just a crowd that screams on a distant beam of light
SOLO
Your not a king on a hill
When all you have is free will
There's nothing more to conceal
When fame and fortune consumes your life 
We all are someone with something to say
The mind is hollow can go a stray
And grab the things that are shiny and bright
Even the sun will turn down the light
SOLO
Your not a Fading dream  Your not a fading dream ....  Of Light
Of light Of Light 
The legend lives on top of the hill
And if you reach out you'll find it still
Imagination can burn out or kill
Life is more than the art of the deal 
Life is more than the art of the deal.....

Life Is More Than The Art Of The Deal (Lyrics) Original

Dark Shadows. Original . By Glenny G's One Man Band
LYRICS
Who Hides Among Us , And What Will We Face
You Can Never Trust The Human Race
Hides In The Shadows , Dark Shadow.
If I Can Feel It Then I Can Touch It
No One Can See It , Nothing To Fear
Hides In The Shadows , 
Who'll Guard This Place Tonight As The World Turns
Standing In Plain Sight As The Candle Burns
Hides In The Shadow , SOLO
You Can't Take It Down , It Makes No Sound
As You Turn Around , It Goes Under Ground 
You Can't Chase It Into The Night
Or Expose How It Consumes The Light
Dark Shadow , It Hides In The Shadows
It Lives Inside This Empty World 
It Lives Inside This Empty World
Dark Shadows

Blue Onion Blues. Original Glenny G ( One Man Band )
Having fun working in some blues tracks. This one has a bit of the Booker T  Vibe. 
LYRICS
Somewhere you made up your mind
You wanna drive the train
On the move with double vision
No time left to explain
You keep casting a spell down a wishing well On me " On Me "
Your in control of the future
Paint it anyway you feel
Prosperous and richer
Ever since you took the wheel
Planting a dream with sugar and cream on me " on me "
SOLO1
Sometimes I taste green onions
Blowin down a country side
It's hard to see in the dungeon
You took me on one big ride
Planting a dream with sugar and cream on me " On me "
SOLO2
Planting a dream with sugars and cream on me " On me "
Your in control of the future
Plan it any way you feel
Prosperous and richer
Ever since you took the wheel
You keep taking a chance even a dance with me with me
Sometimes I taste green onions

Back To The Wall  by Glenny G and his one man band.
A simple effort relaxing in the studio sheltered from the 113 degrees outside.

LYRICS
We'll I'm looking down hill to an open space
With all my dreams in a small suitcase
Travel the world one day at a time
All I can say it's good for the mind
My eyes are wide open free to live out the blues

I settle in with my back to the wall
I tell myself to give it all
Write down these words solid and true
Never read them on the front page news
That's ok cause I'm alright tonight

Then comes the dawn and the morning light
I tell myself it's just another night
Watching the stars and the moon disappear from sight yeah . . 
Well that's ok cause I'm alright tonight

Live out these blues do what I choose
Light the fuse pay my dues
Carry on day after day wont let nothing ( No one ) get in my way 
Cause I'm alright that's enough for me
Ride on blu----oooohs

Back To The Wall  ( With Lyrics )

Garden In Your Yard. A poem about aging with Grace and a helping hand. Performed by Glenny G's One Man band

Stand and Stare as you are , Don't be pushed a side
Your time will come when your aware , So Garden in your yard
You paid your dues and lived your life , Never falling behind
I'll be here right next to you , Like a guiding light
Let them wait for you , Let them pass on by
I will comfort you , So don't even try
Married once so long ago , Those children all are gone
Your friends and church have paved the way ,
Toward your resting soul
Ride the waves feel the ocean breeze in your dreams tonight
break the chains that bind you here , Float into the sky
Let them wait for you , Let them pass on by
I will comfort for you , So don't even try
( Organ Solo)
We'll enjoy those memories of so Long ago
Now it's time for you to leave , So let your garden grow . . .

2124 by Glenny G's One Man Band  ( Original ) with Video link and Lyrics .
https://youtu.be/123zrxCZics
Lyrics ( 2124 )
In 100 years in 2124 we'll all be buried with our relatives and friends, Strangers will live in our homes that we fought so hard to build , They'll have everything we all own today
Including that car you spent a fortune on, 
Descendance won't know who we are. 
And as the years move on our history , photos and deeds go into the dumpster of oblivion. We won't even be a memory , But maybe if one day we stop to analyze this question we'd understand.
How many of us know our grandfathers father? 
How many of us see his sons and daughters?
SOLO ( Rickenbacker 360 guitar )
Those ungiven hugs and kisses to our children and loved ones is what life 
 is really yes really all about .
Dreams of obtaining everything , Always wanting more and more 
without taking the time for what's worth while in life
How many of us know our grandfathers father
How many of us see his sons and daughters
How many of us know our grandfathers father
Things shinny and new won't even matter , No No . . .

The Darker Side By Glenny G
Face the tales of a Darker side ,You've got to be brave to,
Face the trails of a wilder ride ,You know you can be saved.
You can't help the ones you've failed , Your only human
You pay the price for being jailed , It's all led you to this better place
Don't take on the world  , Don't let it confuse you
Save some strength in yourself , To get the things that you want
Face the pain from an open wound , Is it never ending
Time will heal , It will leave you soon , You know it's not that grave
I need to see you the way you were , Not slowly fading
Although the past is just a blur, Its all led you to this better place 
Don't take on the world , It can only abuse you
And make you strike out , At the voices that taunt .
I know for sure this is not what you had in mind
A dream that's so stale and the music's all gone
No big encore for there was so little time
To try and get back to a road that's so long.
Solo out . . . ,

Eternal Spirits Sing Our Songs By Glenny G
Spending time on a song we wrote
Remember what you said
You tell it best in your leather coat
Then you'd lift your head
A piece of paper on a worn out desk
Lost in my thoughts that I believe
The warmth of the fire heats my dream
Lost in low light on a wall we take flight
Time and space inside ( Solo )
You left behind your legacy from those times in songs
Never again would we be free
How quick those days had gone
Late at Night I think of you
It's all under ground where it belongs
Eternal spirits sing our songs ( Solo )
Never found a legacy

Every Time lyrics by Glenny G
EVERY TIME I SEE YOU I FEEL THE PAIN
AND WHEN WE TOUCH I FEEL THE RAIN
SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE ME HAS BEGUN TO CHANGE
I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD FEEL THIS WAY
WHEN I'M IN YOUR ARMS I WANNA STAY
I KNOW YOUR STRONG AND YOUR ON YOUR OWN
WHEN I HOLD YOU CLOSE I WANNA TAKE YOU HOME
AND CHERRISH YOU UNTIL MY DIEING DAYS
HAVE YOU BY MY SIDE ALL ALONG THE WAY
(SOLO GUITAR)
DO YOU LOVE ME ,DO YOU WANT ME , DO YOU FEEL THE SAME
GIRL I LOVE YOU AND I NEED YOU, DO YOU FEEL THE SAME
I HAVE TO SAY THE WAY I FEEL

WILL YOU UNDERSTAND OR WALK AWAY .......

LYRICS
IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD WILL I FALL INTO OUTER SPACE
OR WILL I HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE TELLING ME I'LL LEAD YOU HERE
OR WILL I SPIN WAY OUT OF CONTROL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
TO A DEEP BLACK HOLE. AND IF I TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU
WILL THIS DREAM TONIGHT COME TRUE

YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS AND BRAND NEW STARTS
THE WORLD TURNS  THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
IT'S NOT THE SAME IT'S NOT THE SAME

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY 
TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN  THERE'S STILL PAIN
SO MUCH PAIN... ITS BEEN EIGHT LONG YEARS SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
TIME RAN OUT YOU COULDN'T BE SAVED 
THE DAY YOU DIED THE LIGHTS WENT DARK 
MY SPIRIT DIED AND MY SOUL CRIED OUT

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN BUT THERE'S STILL PAIN SO MUCH PAIN.,,,,,,

High-est LOVE by Glen Granthem
Lyrics
THE RAIN COMING DOWN IT TURNS THE EARTH TO MUD
LAST NIGHT YOU MADE IT CLEAR I REST UPON YOUR LOVE
ITS A HIGHER LOVE
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING WITH RINGING IN MY EARS
I SPENT THE NIGHT ALONE AGAIN  AND YET I FELT YOU NEAR
BACK AND FOURTH ON AN EMPTY FLIGHT WITH NO TIME TO SLEEP
MY EYES REST UPON THIS PHONE JUST TO READ YOUR SPEECH
ITS A HIGHER LOVE
MY HEART AND SOULS LEFT BURNING FROM THIS SMOKE FILLED ROOM 
WHAT LYES  AHEAD TONIGHT FITS LIKE AN EMPTY TOMB
DEVIL SWARMS AND WATCHING AND RIVETS ALL THE PAIN
TOGETHER WE GO WALKING WHEN I SPEAK YOUR NAME
ITS A HIGHER LOVE.....

High-est LOVE ( original ) With Lyrics

SKID ROW BOOGIE BLUES lyrics Glen Granthem
EVERY HAND REACHING OUT
ON EVERY CORNER THERE'S NO DOUGHT
A WINTER FREEZE IS COMING DOWN HARD
WELL SOME WON'T WORK SOME ARE WEAK  
THERE'S SOME ON DRUGS THEY JUST CAN'T BEAT
DOWN ON YOUR LUCK ON SKID ROW
SOLO.....
YOU FOUND A PLACE TO DO YOUR TIME
IT DON'T TAKE LONG TO LOOSE YOUR MIND
WHEN EVERY FACE YOU SEE LOOKS THE SAME
EVERY DAY COME RAIN OR SHINE
YOU WALK THE STREET AND DO YOUR TIME
SURVIVING IN A WORLD CALLED SKID ROW
SOLO...
SKID ROW... SKID ROW...
A CITY OF TENTS ON THE RIVER BANK
WHEN OFFERED A JOB THEY SAY NO THANKS
THEY JUST WONT TRUST THE SYSTEM OR THE PLAN
THEY HAVE THERE RIGHTS AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS
BUT ALL ALONG THE PRESSURE MOUNTS
SURVIVING IN THE WORLD OF SKID ROW
SURVIVING IN A WORLD CALLED SKID ROW

"When I start a song, I really try to finish it, whether it's good or bad, because I've found that I'm the worst judge. I have a problem satisfying myself, I'm always wanting to do something better than before. When I come back to songs, I try to finish them no matter what, and if you still don't like it when it's finished, you learn something by working on it " ALVIN LEE. These words seem to fit well for me and my approach to song writing. and yes CHEERS
