about

This is track number 92 on my new 94-track debut greatest hits album, MUSIC, etc... [available on the iTunes Store] This single features my longtime musical friend, Neal Chapman on lead guitar. It's my favorite hidden gem on the album and my longest song at 7:18, it being a suite of two different parts. Enjoy! "Music is the best."

lyrics

I used to stay up all night long
I'd practice a bunch or write me a song
The cool kids were all outside drinking their bongs
I'd be missing it

They would all sport and/or drink til they raged
Or hit all the clubs, their ID's overaged
I'd be there all night long up on the stage
I'd be missing it

Friends all shacked up;
Kids 1,2,3
Mortgages, marriages, master degrees
That train rolled right by; it just wasn't for me
I'd be missing it

Oh well. Super heavy sigh... Super heavy sigh...

Later, the PTA meetings at school
Play dates and watching kids pee in the pool
Yard sales, refinancing, garage full of tools
I'd be missing it

But strangest of all; I guess I just don't know
Christianity, Islam, Hindu, nam myoHo renge kyo
It's all nice but I feel....

1.
If you paint me a picture
Or built me a chair
If you write me a song
If you show that you care
2.
If you knit me a blanket
Or draw me a house
If you chisel a stone
If you catch a new mouse
3.
If you grow me a garden
Design the next car
If you cook me an omelette
Mix drinks at the bar
4.
If you scissor me my haircut
Cut me a suit
If you dance like you mean it
Wear cool DJ boots
5.
If you take ones and zeros
Make future appear
If you trick me with magic
If you craft me a beer
6.
If you learn a new instrument
Play from your heart
If you write this long list
Of folks who create art
7.
If you snap me a photograph
In black or white
If a sonnet or poem
or novel you write
8.
If you film me a movie
Right there on your phone
If you know how the nose knows
Perfume or cologne
9.
If you barista coffee
If you weld me a bike
If you graffiti letters
However you like
10.
If your timing with comedy
Makes you a clown
If you teach the world's kids well
They won't let you down
11.
If you write me a letter
If you sing me a song!!
Then obviously you get it
Then hey, come along!! Oh yeah!!
Go!!!
