Time And Luck may grow up to be a more fully fattened pop song, perhaps a la Byrds sound. But for now the idea is to get the band...me...on "tape". As time goes by this a consistently pleasing process with some unanticipated benefits. It's forcing me to become a better guitar player, a better singer and to work hard at the song writing. It's all out front, and I'm proud of that. I'm also happy to be saying exactly what I want to be saying (more or less give or take) in these songs....

Time And Luck

Ears ring in the morning
I don't need no rooster waking me
Body feels like it's mule kicked
But that's just life you see...

And if someone had told me
Working hard would be such fun
I may have started collecting jobs
When I was very young...

Time steals up like a thief in the night
Turns your hair shades of grey
All your younger self assuredness
Leaves you with very little to say...


I'll run out of time and luck
Before I see these dreams
And I've got no money in the bank
But that's alright it seems...

You sit there and look at me
As if my mind just broke
And these chords you call the louder ones
I guess they're just a joke
I'll run out of time and luck
Before I see these dreams
But I've got myself a little girl
And she's swimming in this stream...

Sunday's birds sing in the sunshine
Blossoms fall like snow
You could fill a thousand books
With the things that I don't know
And I'll run out of time and luck
Before I see these dreams
We don't have a pot to piss in my love
But that's alright it seems....
