What About Me? (Stories Demo) 03:58
lyrics
buy track
I see you walk, walk away I'm not gonna beg you to stay I'll see you around, by and by I won't make a scene, I won't cry But I've got one question for you, If you've got some time left for me "What am I supposed to do, When yours is the only thing I want to be? What about me?" You've got nothing left to say You have made it very clear to me anyway I supposed we'll both heal over time Maybe someday you will be a friend of mine But you were so convincing, That you made a fool out of me What about me? I guess I will live a brand new life I guess I'll become someone else's wife Maybe you will sit alone and cry Thinking about us and wonder why Why you ever threw away your love That was real, that was true What about you? I can't sit upon a shelf, keeping myself free What about me?

Big City Blues (Stories Demo) (free) 02:35
lyrics
download
Sittin’ on a stool in a smoke-filled bar Singing someone else’s words and playing my guitar There’s people drinkin’ and dancin’ too All havin’ a good time so why so blue? Chorus: I had big city dreams That I’d make it out one day Kept that ideal so close, helped me make it through this way Now my big city blues Are not going away So I will sit, sing songs, to get paid Cynical or honest, I can never decide Choose what you want: you’re the one with a quarter in my side Each night is just a little bit worse than the last Floatin’ through this storm of life, surviving on my dimes Chorus

Famous Singer (Stories Demo) 05:51
lyrics
buy track
Your grandfather was a famous singer Travelin' around from town to town And by the lights he'd follow The path to the road, to wherever it had led him down Your grandmother was a famous lady Fabulous in beauty and in mind Each night she'd walk around the town, everybody they wanted her life Away take it away from me "Loneliness ain't welcome 'round here" Pa'd say. "Why can't I just be happy? All the green and gold in this world cannot bring me To where I want to be." Pa would come home late at night, you see Sometimes he'd be away A dirty suit and a broken harp, filled with disgust Was all that he had to our names Your grandma woke early one morning to A sound that she had not heard in years It was the man that she'd loved long ago, Before he had driven her to tears "I've been gone for too long, you see My plan was f'ed up beyond belief The one thing I thought that I needed was always Right here in front of me".

I Guess I Won't Forget (Stories Demo) (free) 02:51
lyrics
download
Baby is it true? Was I no good to you? 'Cause baby, I tried. I tried, I tried. Did I make you feel lonely? Well, I didn't mean to. I guess I won't forget when I had you. Thought I was so clever, never reaching for forever. Thought I'd be satisfied with no one by my side. ...'till the day I saw you, but I was such a fool. And I guess I won't forget when I had you.
