Take Care!
Lyrics;
A lonely road 
A lazy night
Tired eyes and Fire light

Time won't you sit a spell
Rest yourself no need to run
You must have lots of stories you can tell
Time won't you sit a spell 

A lonely road
A lazy night
Tired eyes and Fire light

Rustling leaves
Cool the breeze 
Mix the colors
That fall from trees

A lonely road
A lazy night
Tired eyes and Fire light

Orion up in the sky
Colder nights are coming soon
I feel a chill run through my bones
Gaze upon the harvest moon

A lonely road
A lazy night
Tired eyes and Fire light

A lonely road
A lazy night
Tired eyes and Fire light

Time won't you sit a spell
Rest yourself no need to run
You must have lots of stories you can tell
Time won't you sit a spell

Thoughts are passing through my mind 
Storm clouds rising high
Things I've done and things I've seen
Haunted memories floating by

A lonely road
A lazy night
Tired eyes and Fire light

Time won't you sit a spell
Rest yourself no need to run
You must have lots of stories you can tell
Time won't you sit a spell

Tired Eyes And Fire Light

Dan X2 is Dan Blackard (Reno, Nevada & Susanville, California) and Dan Lockhart (Carmel, Indiana & Edwardsville, Illinois).  We met here on SoundCloud.  We like making music together.  We have written and published over 300 songs together.  More songs written together than Lennon and McCartney.

The ProgRockDan1 site was taken down by SoundCloud. It was located here:

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
