I'm just a 56 year old cement mixer driver who gets laid off every winter for 3 months.I enjoy writing songs and recording them myself at home on my 8 track Boss BR864 recorder.It's just another one of my many hobbies.I just do it for kicks.Just laid back musical enjoyment. I have lots of originals and collabs on my page.My originals are are true stories about me,or people I know,or how I feel about things.Collabs are all efforts of me and my Soundclick friends.Doing collabs is my favorite thing here on Soundclick.Hope ya enjoy some of the tunes.

Lyrics

JIM BEAM BLUES

A ONE ROOM SHACK
BACK IN THE HILLS
LONLEY AND DRINK'IN
AFTER MY HEART WAS KILLED
ONLY THING I HAVE TO EASE THE PAIN
IS JIM BEAM

WONDER'IN WHY
SHE WOULDN'T LET ME STAY
HOW COME SHE THREW
HER LOVE FOR ME AWAY
I KNOW THE ANSWER IS IN THIS BOTTLE
OF JIM BEAM


(CHOURUS)
EVERY SIP I TAKE
HELPS TO EASE THE PAIN
LIKE A DOCTOR IN A BOTTLE
WE MAKE A GOOD TEAM
THE ONLY FRIEND I HAVE LEFT
IN THIS WORLD...IS JIM BEAM

ISOLATION
ICE COLD HEART
SUN GOIN DOWN
GETT'IN COLD AND DARK
ONLY HEAT I HAVE IS IN THIS BOTTLE
OF JIM BEAM


THE MORE I DRINK
THE CLEARER I SEE
THINGS NEVER WILL
BE WHAT THEY USED TO BE
JUST LONELYNESS AND ME
AND OLD JIM BEAM

Wow, how many years, 15 it says. We had a cool sound you and me. (Hey somebody has to brag on us hahaha) loved those days Laurel, especially to get to pick with good musicians as yourself . Hey they opened up the forums, but no country and blues yet. See ya my good picking buddy :)
