You can hate me, extricate me, you can count me out Eighty-six me, ochenta-y-seis me, you can scream and shout Loretta told me don't go go home a-drinkin' with lovin' on your mind So I think I'll stay out, a little bit longer and try to unwind Three days on the wagon Trying not to lose my mind Three days on the wagon Oh lord wont you show me a sign I'm falling off tonight Bright eyed and bushy tailed, all about raising hell In a trance, a determination, under a wicked spell I've got an itch I want to scratch, but I just can't seem to reach It's like a monkey on my back, it's like a mean ole' sucker leach Three days on the wagon Trying not to lose my mind Three days on the wagon Oh lord won't you show me a sign I'm falling off to tonight I'm falling down tonight

Head on down to my favorite tavern, buy myself an ice cold brew There's no place I'd rather be than, sitting down right here with you Spittin' dirty jokes and made up stories, getting along like a house on fire It's a funny thing how time goes, it just keeps on slipping by I want to sit right here with you Jukebox playing some old time country blues No more worries I refuse I want to sit right here, and drink a beer with you Workin' hard every other day, playing hard every other night I don't always want to work my life away, All I want to do is party down and that's my right I want to sit right here with you Jukebox playing some of that old time rock n' roll No more worries I refuse I want to sit right here, and drink a beer with you Yea, it's going to be alright Gettin' down all damn night Lovie dovie by the neon lights Party like it's 1999! Yea I want to sit right here with you Jukebox bumpin some old school Easy E No more worries I refuse, Because I want to sit right here, yea I want to sit right here, I want to sit right here, and drink a beer with you

Maybe I was a little foolish, for giving in to my pride Also a little selfish, for giving up on trying Maybe we were a little careless, for kicking our hearts around And maybe I'm just a little drunk, lying here on the ground Yea maybe you were right, The grass ain't greener on the other side And maybe I was wrong Well I was crazy for loving and leaving you And there's nothing I can say and nothing I can do I gave up everything that I had to lose And I was crazy for loving and leaving you Thought I had the key to your heart, But it seems like you changed the lock, Now you won't take my call, And you wont answer when I knock, I walk around this town, As lonesome as I'll ever be, Always looking for distraction to set me free, Maybe you were right, The grass ain't greener on the other side, And I was wrong, And I was crazy for loving and leaving you, There ain't nothing I can say, nothing I can do, And I gave up everything I had to lose, And I was crazy for loving and leaving you I take all that blame and put it on my shoulders, Anything to keep the heat of your love from growing colder, And I was wrong, And I was crazy for loving and leaving you, There ain't nothing I can say, nothing I can do, And I gave up everything that I had to lose, and I'm crazy for loving and leaving you, I gave up everything, All that I had to lose, And I did all that I could possibly do, I was crazy for loving and leaving you, Yea I was crazy for leaving you.

Losers Weep 04:03
I had your love in my pocket, And a hole in it too, I had your love in my pocket, And a hole in it too, Now my souls worn out in my travelin' shoes, Had your love in my pocket, Well I lost it on the road, I had your love in my pocket, And I lost it on the road, When finders keep sometimes losers lose, Sometimes we're lost, and can't seem to find the way, The path keeps changing day to day, Others pick up what we've left behind, And the world keeps turning, Finders keep and losers weep, I had your love in my mind, and I lost it along the way, I had your love in my mind, and I lost it along the way, Well it's easier to keep traveling than it is to stay, Sometimes we're lost and we can't find the way, The path keeps changing day to day, Others pick up what we've left behind, And the world keeps turning, Finders keep and losers weep,

Yea, and I got a feeling, Deep down in my heart, Yea and I've had it from the very start, I remember as a little kid just a watching that zenith screen, Dreaming of a California raisin scene, Yea and I got a feeling, Deep down in my soul, And I like to call it rock n' roll, Just a pickin' and grinnin' like a good ole boy guitar man, Running around in a good time travelin' band, But the world will try to put you in your place, That's when we stand up and look it in it's face, I'll take it slow, I'll take it fast, Trying not to let the world kick my ass, I can get low, and I can get high, If you want you can come along for the ride, And I'm gonna sleep when I die, Yea and I got a feeling, Woa! it's in the back of my mind, It's a little voice just a giving me clues, It's taken a while but I think I'm finally coming around, And I know exactly what I'm supposed to do, But the world will try to put you in your place, That's when we stand up and look it in it's face, I'll take it slow, I'll take it fast, Trying not to let the world kick my ass, I can get low, and I can get high, If you want you can come along for the ride, And I'm gonna sleep when I die, Yea lord I'm gonna sleep when I die, I'll take it slow, I'll take it fast, Trying not to let the world kick my ass, I can get low, and I can get high, If you want you can come along for the ride, And I'm gonna sleep when I die,

Well Kept 03:06
Coming off a hard time Little sickness and pain No one seems to listen When I complain Now I made it down a mountain Gonna' take is easy for a while Find the ones I love the most And start collecting rainy day smile and I'd like to make a toast to... Good Lovin' Should be well kept Good Lovin' I promise dear I'll try my best To keep good lovin' Flowin' Strong Because it's that good lovin' That keeps me movin' on Coming off some heartache And some misery Lord know some of that was Created by me But now I made it down the mountain Gonna' take it easy for a while Gonna' find the ones I love the most And start collectin' rainy day smiles and I'd like to make a toast to... Good lovin' Should be well kept It's that good lovin' I promise dear I'll try my best To keep good lovin' Flowing strong Because it's that good lovin' That keeps me moving on It's that good lovin' That keeps us moving on

about

July 8th, I woke up and decided I wanted to professionally record a 5 song e.p. I started making phone calls and about 3 calls in I got a hold of Sean Flora (Cake, The Shins, Black Keys) and decided he was the one.

From there I created a Kickstarter Crowdfund Campaign to fund the deposit for the studio, and also see if I would have any support.

Much to my surprise, It was a success and In 3 days I had raised a total of $800 to fund a studio trip scheduled for the end of Aug 2017.

My good friend Stephen Amari (Bass) and I worked for 6 weeks prepping and towards the end we worked out our parts with Nate Hanson (Perc). Our pre-production was solid, and we had something to work with.

Thomas Creveston with his golden harp skills, and Shevonne Sayers with her lovely vocal work would add just enough organic texture to put it over the top.

From August to December we spent just over a 100 hours tracking, mixing, and mastering 5 songs plus a bonus song that I had recorded in 2015.

It has been a labor of love, and I can honestly say with all of my heart, that this record is as genuine and true to myself as I can possibly be.
