Run For Your Life

I had a dream that you and me
Were on the run from the police
And I don't even know
And then you jumped into my car
Said "I know somewhere, it's not too far.
Come on let's go."
And then you took me to a show
I grabbed my guitar cause I was ready to go
But I woke up before I could play
And it reminded me of when I'd leave
And you would always say to me
"Oh, won't you stay."
Last time I saw you was a Monday night
I think you were getting into some kinda fight
But you know I had to run
And we had had such a good time
You sat in the seat right next to mine
Hanging out, playing games and getting drunk
You stayed there till the end of my show
I grabbed my guitar, it was time to go
But I told you I'd be back soon
And just like so many nights of my life
Where I have to tell someone goodbye
I walked out under a half-lit moon
And now I'm off to another show
I grab my guitar, I'm always ready to go
Be it a stage or a living room
Up next I'm westward bound
Don't worry I'll work my way around
And I'll be back to see you

Who I Am

Putting pressure on myself
Was never anything but bad for my health
When I can learn to sit back and relax
That's when I find myself swimming in the gap
Between the notes and words that I sing
Music pours from the silence with me
Cause I know who I am
And that makes this that much harder
For anyone to understand
Cause I know who I am
And I've had to accept some truths
Some hard facts about my misspent youth
Try as I might I don't think I can
Even pretend to act like the age I am
You tried to give me love and build a home
But you can't give away what you do not own
And I know who I am
And that makes this impossible
For anyone to understand
Cause I know, I know, yeah, I know
Who I am

Jason Guy Smiley recommends:
Come & Gone
by Anthony and the Second Verse
This is the newest record from Anthony and the Second Verse. It's a pretty rocking collection of songs. Anthony produced and played lead guitar on my newest album, The Blue Eagle.
