Good Gracious Love

about

This is a song about a drifter who, after reflecting back on a life spent fiercely protecting his own self-interests, realizes that's all he has left.

lyrics

Lord only knows I can't take you
It's too late to get you back
In my good graces
Good gracious love
Won't even throw don't owe you a bone
You're on your own
To cut the slack out of the rope
Good gracious love

It’s a no-win situation
The train has left the station
Heard it on the radio all dressed up nowhere to go
We were two bulls in a china shop
Left a check for mom and pop
Passed you on the boulevard
Pardon me for the disregard

But the day had come to walk away
Just looking for some good, gracious, love
You know I told you love
We're driving my way or the highway
Until I find some good gracious love
Look toward above

But I’ve been flipping through the pages
Floating through the ages
Passing time away
Wandering through the places
Placing all the faces
Wish I could’ve stayed

It’s a no-win situation
The train has left the station
Heard it on the radio all dressed up nowhere to go
We were two bulls in a china shop
Left a check for mom and pop
Heard it out on the boulevard
Took a puff ‘cuz it’s a hard…

It's a no-win situation
No-win know when
It's a no win situation
No-win know when

The day has come to walk away
Just looking for some good, gracious, love
You know I told you love
We're driving my way or the highway
Until I find some good gracious love, lord above

But I’ve been flipping through the pages
Floating through the ages
Passing time away
Wandering through the places
Placing all the faces
Wish I could’ve stayed

Quick note about what you're hearing. I wrote all lyrics & play all the instruments on the tracks, except drums. I almost always compose songs first on the acoustic guitar. While my primary influence is classic rock, it might be hard to peg my music to a single genre as my influences range from grunge to blues to country/bluegrass to folk to reggae. You will hear a little of all of it in my music. ... more
