Everything I've Been

Everything I've Been

EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN

All alone on a highway of diamonds
Driftin’ straight towards the sun

So easy to end up alone like this
Without anywhere to run

Through ghost town after ghost town
It's a snakes and ladders game we play
Trade a few minutes of honest rage
For the future of a castaway

And you might say I am a lonely man

And you just might be right

I've never been much for family and friends
Working by day, sleepin’ by night

Idrive a silver studded el Dorado

Top down and the wind in my hair
Rollin’ way out into the desert

Just me and the lizards out there

And all I see now are the shadows

Of my past as they all crowd in

And it's another mickey of tequila

‘Til I can deal with everything I've been

80 many women I have loved

And left wounded in my wake
Countless chances to make amends
But none of them would I take

And now this self-inflicted poison

Is rollin’ around in my veins

No new roads for me to ride anymore
Just circles on circles again

And you might say I am a lonely man
And you might call me a fool

We all get to sleep in the beds we make
And I'm no exception to the rule.

Idrive a silver studded el Dorado
Top down and the wind in my hair...

My Love For Fridays Goes Back A Long Way

"Crimson flames tied through my ears · Rollin’ high and mighty traps · Pounced with fire on flaming roads · Using ideas as my maps · “We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I · Proud ‘neath heated brow · Ah, but I was so much older then · I’m younger than that now ·                     ...

Roll Me Away… A Rock & Roll Lament.


Listening to artists like Bob Seger always comes with a bit of a price paid in sadness and melancholy. · It feels like it was so many years, so many miles and so much insanity and so many experiences ago. This was the music of my youth. It was crazy and bold and simple and anthem ...
