A PORT OF CALM

Sometimes being alone is less lonely than being with other people. This song reveals that feeling. This guy has a night of celebration with a woman, including all the prerequisite elements of eating, dining and intimacy, but in the end it’s an empty liaison where he once again reaches too eagerly for the elusive meaningful, fulfilling relationship, only to come up hungover and empty. There is sarcasm in his comparisons to it being a “paradise amour”. The song features the wonderful pedal steel playing of Dakota Holden, which gives a neat country spin to what is a bit of a hybrid between urban folk and country blues. Confetti is a fun and colorful thing, till you wake up late for work with it lining the inside of your shoes.

Lyrics: Confetti In My Shoe

Whisky in a bottle
Confetti on the floor
She sure ain’t no model
Guess I’ll have another pour 

Cheesecake in the kitchen
Crumbs upon her lips
Time to test the tension
My hand falls to her hips

It’s just the bourbon talking
But she thinks it’s really me
As my fingers do the walking
It’s classified and free
And through the bedroom door we fall
And land upon the shore
The eyes roll back to see it all
This paradise amour

Like the rattling of pots and pans
Rolling in her arms
And passing out at 3AM
To sleep through my alarm

The sunlight stabs the curtains
The cold hangs heavy hard
The morning brings no flirtin’
And she didn’t leave her card

I wish that I smoked cigarettes
I wish I had a clue
How twisted being lonely gets
Confetti in my shoe
And through the bedroom door we fell
And landed on the shore
The sun sets on the beach of Hell
This paradise amour

Confetti In My Shoe

If there is a place called heaven, it would be here!

I wrote this song back in 2010 and it's a coming of age song with a nice swing to it. Very retro feeling like early-70's. My attempt at a kind of Chicago type song. Charlie did a good job singing and I played a nice lead on it. Summer is just around the corner so how about a little Sunday Summer Swing with that nice cold beer or Margarita! I also produced a video for this song and it will available to watch on May 8 on YouTube - https://youtu.be/Acus_OcQ4aA
Cheers! 🍻 

“SUNDAY SUMMER SWING”

SUNDAY IN THE PARK,
YOU AND I LYING BY A FOUNTAIN,  
WATCHING THE KITES, SAILING HIGH, IN THE SKY,
MAKING LOVE IN THE BLUE,
LIKE ME AND YOU, LIKE ME AND YOU, AH,
              
SWEET SUMMER MUSIC PLAYING,
WHEREVER WE GO,
THE SUN SERENADING THE COLORFUL FLOWERS,
THAT DANCE IN THE BREEZE,
LIKE YOU AND ME, LIKE YOU AND ME, 
         
OUR AGE OF INNOCENCE HAS DIED,
ALONG WITH OUR DREAMS, 
THE LOVE BORN IN YOUNG LOVERS EYES, 
IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE ANY LONGER,
NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE ANYMORE,

SHARING A SWING IN SPRINGTIME,
UNDER OUR FAVORITE TREE, 
COOL LEMONADE, IN THE SHADE, LIKE MOM MADE,   
BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE, 
LIKE YOU AND I, LIKE YOU AND I,

OUR AGE OF INNOCENCE HAS DIED,
ALONG WITH OUR DREAMS, 
THE LOVE BORN IN YOUNG LOVERS EYES, 
IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE ANY LONGER,
NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE LONGER,        
SUNDAY SUMMER SWING, SUNDAY SUMMER SWING,
SUNDAY SUMMER SWING, SUNDAY SUMMER SWING.

SUNDAY SUMMER SWING

"SUNDAY SUMMER SWING" (VIDEO - https://youtu.be/Acus_OcQ4aA)

There’s a chicken wing restaurant near where I live that on Saturdays I often go to 

After cutting the grass and 
Wacking the weeds
Any  trimming any bushes unruly 

After several months if you sit in the same place the waitresses all get to know you 

And I always sit down 
in young Deborah’s section, 
she’s got a crush on yours truly

She really enjoys all the stories I tell and she laughs at my hilarious jokes 

She always makes sure I have plenty of ketchup, she doesn’t do that for the rest of these folks

Men, don’t fall in love with your waitress 
Being nice to you is part of her job 
Sure, she laughs at your jokes but she laughs at the jokes 
Of every Tom, Dick and Harry or Bob

One Saturday I’m sitting in my usual spot, but Debbie didn’t show for her shift 

And I’m thinking My god, 
what on earth could be wrong 
If I had her address then I could save her

And so I lied and told her manager that Debbie had called me and asked if I could give her a lift 

 He gave me her address 
On a cocktail napkin
And I thanked the man for doing me this favor! 

And I imagined when she saw me I would be her handsome hero and she’d plant on me a passionate kiss 

She’d say “leave your stupid, fat cow wife, she doesn’t love you, marry me instead and we’ll have marital bliss” 

Men, don’t fall in love with the waitress 
You’re not her white knight on a giant white galloping steed 
You’re just another guy who got the cheeseburger combo 
And an appetizer he didn’t need

So I drove up to her trailer and knocked softly on her screen 
And this 6 foot four gorilla came to greet me. 
He had perhaps the largest biceps I had ever seen 
And his fists were more than big enough to beat me. 

I said, “ I was sent to check on Debbie, make sure she’s okay 
Debbie then appeared engulfed in sadness 
She said, “wait a second, I know you, you’re there each Saturday. 
Why the hell did they give you my address?   

I said, “listen, I just wanted to make sure you were alright 
We’ve become so close I care about you deeply 
She said, “I just serve you chicken wings, what gives you the right! 
Get the hell off of my porch, you’re fucking creepy!  

So I got back in my car and I drove quickly away, for a moment there I feared for my life 

I knew that I had overstepped 
Her personal boundary 
And I could never sit again in Debbies section 

I thought from now on that after finishing the lawn, I should have a couple beers with my wife. 

We’re old and fat with two grown kids 
But just like Darwin said 
You have to trust in natural selection 

Men, don’t fall in love with your waitress 
On your personal reality try to keep a  very firm grip 
You’ve got a mortgage, a fat wife and four kids who need you 
So pay the check and leave a generous tip

Don't Fall In Love With The Waitress
