It's not because you're late again
It's not because you're soft.
I have a way of making friends
and send them running off.
We'll make cool shit I must admit
but then I'll find a way to quit
so don't let me distract you from your life.
I need a voice inside my head
I need to hear a sound
the silence seems to bother me
not lost but I'm not found.
A simple buzz to point the way
I'll try it out but I won't stay
when your head's up in the clouds
you don't need the ground.
Give your heart to me I promise it's just temporarily lost
I do it all the time
and I'll be back next year with new songs
'bout my latest fears but you
you're going to be just fine.
Give your heart to me I promise it's just temporarily lost
I do it all the time
and I'll be back next year with new friends
and some brand new tears but you
you're going to be just fine.

Lost days a new year's begun
time fades and the battle's not won.
New shoes and nowhere to go
heartbreaks and some pistols for show.
I'll stay here till you're gone.
A heart beats another resides
strides made to be buried alive.
A close race can never be won
but by yourself you can have some fun.
I'll stay here till you're gone.
I miss the smile on your face
so many die while we wait.
Lost days a new year's begun
time fades and the battle's not won.
New shoes and nowhere to go
heartbreaks and some pistols for show.
I'll stay here till you're gone.

I don't know if you're the reason
but I'm leaving.
Couldn't tell you why
maybe it's the season.
I've had enough
and there's not much time
I'm gunna play my hand
on the west coast line.
I find away to make everything go wrong
maybe this time I'm better off alone.
Cuz I've been thinking 'bout
your high west gold baby.
I can't stop thinking 'bout
your high west gold baby.
What you know about
your high west gold
cuz I'm gunna find mine
I'm taking my time
that high west gold gunna be mine.
I'm a stranger in a strange land
but I work hard I pull my weight
never ask for a thing.
I'm gunna shine cuz it's my time
you're gunna know my name.
I find away to make everything go wrong
maybe this time I'm better off alone.
Cuz I've been thinking 'bout
your high west gold baby.
I can't stop thinking 'bout
your high west gold baby.
What you know about
your high west gold
cuz I'm gunna find mine
I'm taking my time
that hight west gold gunna be mine.

You've got your bubble gum evil
at the tip top inn.
Leaning up against the wall
and someone something's
making you feel queasy.
I need a wide open
something or other.
Maybe a space of dirt and a gust
blazing and blowing
maybe a porch cuz
we're here
in the ghetto
rocking out on Whiskey, yeah
we're here
in the ghetto
rocking out on Whiskey.
Second shot you're cackling good
arm in arm just like we should.
Digging all the cool friends we got.
Third shot things are still ok
though you may see me sway a tad.
Oh yeah life is radicle
when you're hooping and a hollering
shaking and drooling.
Praising the music like it's the face of God,
let your tongue loose, let this charade out of the cage cuz
we're here
in the ghetto
rocking out on Whiskey, yeah
we're here
in the ghetto
rocking out on Whiskey.
Pretty soon we're screaming at each other
in the alley
your pride is bigger than a bowling ball.
And I wanna catch you
but I can barely crawl.
Why don't you go hang out
with your bonehead friends?
Oh I forgot
that's me....cuz
we're here
in the ghetto
rocking out on Whiskey, yeah
we're here
in the ghetto
rocking out on Whiskey.

Blues, stay away from me
Blues, why don't you let me be?
I don't know why you keep on haunting me
Love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
It seems somehow, we never can agree
Life is full of misery
Dreams are like a memory
Bringing back your love that used to be
Tears so many I can't see
Years don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by and still, I can't be free

Sitting here in limbo
But I know it won't be long
Sitting here in limbo
Like a bird without a song
Well, they're
Putting up resistance
But I know that my faith
Will lead me on
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll
Sitting here in limbo
Got some time to search my soul
Well, they're
Putting up resistance
But I know that my faith
Will lead me on
I don't know where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
Tried my hand
At love and friendship
But all that is passed and gone
This little boy is moving on
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo
Knowing that I have to go
Well, they're
Putting up resistance
But I know that my faith
Will lead me on
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
I can't say where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
Tried my hand
At love and friendship
But all that is passed and gone
This little boy is moving on
Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo
Knowing that I have to go
Well, they're
Putting up resistance
But I know that my faith
Will lead me on
Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo (limbo, limbo, limbo)

On the year anniversary of the California stay at home order I decided to release a "live in quarantine" acoustic EP of some special performances I did over the last year with friends. Covid brought a year without live music, and time to reflect on what's really important, so for me the best music to make was live, raw, and honest. Good tunes, good friends, and no bells and whistles. Hope you enjoy.
