Slippin' Away (demo)

The sun is down, day is at an end
And in the mirror I see the years again
I’ve seen it all go by so fast
It is a pace nobody can outlast
Today will soon be yesterday and I can feel the time slippin' away
And winter feels a bit more cold this year
but it won’t be long ‘til spring is here
Seasons flying by so fast
before it’s here, another year has passed
Today will soon be yesterday and I can feel the time slippin' away
If I could turn it back now
I would turn it back tonight
and I'd make up for lost time
And I would set a few things right
But life is such a fast ride
and it ain't ever gonna stop
You gotta try to hold on
Hold on with all you got
Hold on
Tomorrow’s sun is gonna rise again
and I don’t know when my time here will end
The winds of change are blowin’ hard
nobody know’s what’s comin’ round the bend
Today will soon be yesterday and I can feel the time slippin' away

Easy Livin' (demo)

Easy living, it ain't no easy living
When you got so many taking
And not so many giving
Wish I could check out for a while and
go down some road that's less driven
Wish I could trade in the hard times
for some easy livin'
I got so many obligations
Ain't no time for recreation
It's a dire situation
and the source of my frustration
Man I need a relocation
Or a permanent vacation
Cause I think this occupation's
Gonna be my ruination
I ain't workin' 9 to 5
'cause I been working 5 to 9
The man has got me on the line
For mandatory overtime
They can't afford to get behind
Or else the contract gets declined
Man it's enough to drive a crazy man right outta his mind
Easy living, it ain't no easy living
When you got so many taking
And not so many giving
Easy living, no it ain't no easy living
When you got so many taking
And not so many giving
Everybody's movin' 'bout a hundred miles a minute a day
And if you're just not keeping up you better got out of the way
I'm not looking for a showdown
I'm just lookin for a slowdown
But I think we know already how
this whole things gonna go down

No Denyin' You (demo)

I walked down Broadway tonight
Stepped into the 404
Was hoping maybe you'd be there
As I walked in through the door
But of course you could not be found
It's been a while since I've been around
I know what I put you through
With things I would say and do
I know I let you down
I can't get my head around why
I don't want to miss you
But it's all that I do
The more I resist you
The more you break through
And I don't wanna want you
The way I want you
And though I keep trying' and trying
There's just no denying you
I left things in disarray
and I know I made mistakes
that I know I can't undo
But I can't stop thinking of you
I let a good thing go
I don't think I'll ever know why

One More Round (demo)

Today turned out to be a lousy day
it's one that I'm still trying to wash away
and that ol' clock on the wall
is saying we can't stay
All we're asking for is one more one last call
ONE MORE ROUND
Before you shut her down
ONE MORE ROUND
There's a memory left that I still need to drown
and I don't care if tomorrow finds me face down on the ground
Set 'em up we'll I'll knock 'em down
ONE MORE ROUND
I usually ain't the type to cause a fuss
And I don't want no trouble between us
But if you're thinking that's the end of this
Then someone here is bound to get pissed
So just reach on back and grab that bottle Gus
AND POUR ONE MORE ROUND
Before you shut her down
ONE MORE ROUND
There's a memory left that I still need to drown
and I don't care if tomorrow finds me face down on the ground
Set 'em up we'll I'll knock 'em down
ONE MORE ROUND
BRIDGE:
JUST ONE AND I PROMISE I'LL BE DONE
I'll EVEN BUY A CAB FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS ONE
SOLO OVER CHORUS
BRIDGE
VERSE HALFTIME SWING

Hello Lonesome (demo)

Hello Lonesome
You're the last one I expected to see
Fancy meeting you in this place
You seem to have a knack for finding me
You shoulda been here just a little bit sooner
She just left, you barely missed her
Hello Lonesome, I guess it's me and you again
So what'd you end up doing today?
Me not much, actually much of the same
Same old story, more bills to pay
Where the debt is much higher than the money I've made
How 'bout tonight what do you think we should do?
I say we hit the liquor store and grab some mexican brew
I guess that it could be a whole lot worse
Just think where I'd be if I didn't have you
Hello Lonesome
You're the one who's always there for me
but I gotta be honest with you
You're not the one I really wanna see
Seems to me no matter where I go
You're close behind, or directly in tow
Hello Lonesome, I guess it's me and you again
Hello Lonesome, I got some news today
Seems she's had a change of heart
Says she's gonna come back and stay
Please don't take this the wrong way
When you hear what I'm about to say
Goodbye Lonesome, I'm sure we'll meet again some day
