Happy Memorial Day!! God Bless America

I wrote a poem for Memorial Day in honor of the brave men and women of the United States military that kept freedom ringing and paid the ultimate sacrifice, so we and future generations may enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. My grandfather, Collis Jordan was a Major in the Allied Air Force and my stepfather, Donald "Doc" MacDonald was a corporal in the U.S. Army. Both of them were in World War II. They didn't die while serving our country but nonetheless they served our country. By crazy coincidence, I found a authentic World War II Corporal uniform (pictured below) at the Salvation Army here in Key West and got it for free!  May they and the many men and woman who sacrificed their own life to ensure that we have a better one, Rest In Peace. God Bless America!

MEMORIAL DAY



They paid the price

The ultimate sacrifice

The cost of freedom

Is not free

Honor the ones we love

And lost



War torn scars

Willing to fight

For what you

Enjoy today

Sleep in peace tonight

As they rest for eternity                                               

God bless the soldiers

Who gave their life

We owe ours to them

They kept and keep

Our creed

Home of the brave

Land of the free



Stand as tall and strong

As the Statue of Liberty

Give thanks to the soldiers

That defend our honor

And belief                                                   

                                                    Authentic World War II Corporal uniform


God bless them

And their families

Giving children a chance

To realize their dreams

Because of them

America continues to be

Home of the brave

And the land of the free



Happy Memorial Day

Band name: Fall Down Daddy - Song name: Alcohol Call

I got the CD back from the production. I listened to the song and was disappointed that they used a drum machine as opposed to real "live" drums. Especially when I am a drummer myself. I think it takes away the power of what the song could of been. I knew it was a long shot in the dark and really, what could I expect for 200 bucks. Hopefully, I can recoup my investment. I wish I could put out something better but I can't just sit on it. For only 7.99 MondoTunes will distribute the song to over 750 online retailers including iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Spotify and Napster to name a few.

I named the "band" Fall Down Daddy and the single "Alcohol Call" should be distributed worldwide online in about 3 weeks from now. Some sites will get it up sooner than others.
The song sounds like old school country ie. George Jones and Johnny Cash (R.I.P.) It has that "feel" to it and believe me, I would never compare my song to be even close to those legends.

Happy Mother's Day Mommies

Happy Mother's Day mommies..you are commended for what you do, from me anyway!
I lost my mother from pancreatic cancer when I was 15 years old. Please cherish everyday you have with your mother on Earth, I no longer have that chance. 


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY



NOTHING better than the unconditional love of a mother.

NEVER will I see my mother again

Until I make my way to heaven

I love you

For all you do

Along with the shit

You put up with

And what you go through

Happy Mother's Day

Haven't seen my mother

Since I was fifteen

God took her away

From pancreatic cancer

Wish the best

For you and yours

I wish I could be

With the one I love

Happy Mother's Day

I have to wait

For the gates of heaven

To open up

I have a lot

Of work

To do on Earth

Before I'm gone

No time to wallow

In sorrow

Need to move on

To see

A better tomorrow

Happy Mother's Day

Mama

I will be home soon

I know that you are

In a safe place

In the good hands

Of the Lord

The same place

I will be someday

Just a matter of time

Happy Mother's Day

Until then

Waiting

Do my work on Earth

God will handle the rest

I rest assured you're in good hands

Better mankind

Stay strong

Happy Mother's Day

I'll see you

When I get there

She cried

I don't want to die

I couldn't change

Destiny

It was up to

The doctors who operated

Outcome

The sight I didn't want to see

All I can say now

Living alone is

Happy Mother's Day

One step closer everyday

To give her another kiss

Form a family reunion

Regain

What I already lost

Nice to know

Good times are on their way

Take away

The worries

I had today

Think about

The memories

I had

From days

Gone past

Something to hold on to

Something "they" can't take away

Before I go

Let me just say

Happy Mother's Day

Greatest and Latest News For Me and You

Just got an email back from the production company recording my song. First off, the song is done!!! The CD has been sent in the mail, so I'll be check in the mail waiting, of course, with baited breath. Secondly, they said it turned out great and is very danceable and fun!! Hopefully they know a good song from a bad one. It's not a sight unseen as we have seen the words, it's a matter of sound unheard.


Once I get the CD, I will send it off to get distributed to over 750 outlets which should take about 3 weeks to complete, according to the distributor. I'll let you know of the complete release as soon as it is complete. Until then, I wrote these words in anticipation of what might, could happen.



Words of HisStory and a wishful thought for a possible future outcome.



HEADLINES: HOMELESS MAN, NO MORE. HE WROTE A SONG AND BOUGHT A HOME OF HIS OWN IN HIS HOMETOWN.

NEVER TO BE HEARD



HE TOURED

WITH ANOTHER BAND

AS A ROAD MANAGER

TRAVELING THE WORLD

THEN

THE TOUR ENDED



HE WORKED

FOR A RECORD STORE

ON SUNSET STRIP

THAT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS

THEN

HE BECAME

ALONE AND HOMELESS



HE TOOK

FROM CALIFORNIA

NOT TO GEORGIA

BUT TO

HIS HOMETOWN STATE

OF FLORIDA

WRITING POETRY AND LYRICS



PAID A BAND

200 BUCKS

OVER THE INTERNET

TO MAKE A SONG

PLAY ON HIS WORDS



THE SONG BECAME

A GLOBAL SMASH HIT

THAT WENT UP THE CHARTS

CLAIMING HIS NAME TO FAME

HIS 1ST HIT

WENT TO NUMBER 1

WITH A BULLET

TO HIS DISMAY

SOME GOOD NEWS

YOU NEVER CAN TELL

WHAT WILL HAPPEN



In homeless news, the notorious Murphy is M.I.A. Rumour has it, he is up in Marathon (God help Marathon) with one-eyed Gunny or he might of went back to Texas, nobody knows fer sure. Now I hang out with Hillbilly Willy, Billy Boy, Squirrel and Carmine, who I found out went to Sue Moore school in Marathon (in which I did, in case you didn't know) but he was a few years ahead of me as he is about 10 years older than I. That's all the exciting news we have for now, stay tuned, as there's sure to be another adventure coming around the mountain.

Ta Ta and To Da Loo....:)--- See You Soon!

CLASS IS IN SESSION

TIME FOR YOU

TO LEARN A LESSON



DON'T TELL ME

I TOLD YOU SO



YOU DIDN'T WANT

TO LISTEN

AS I SPOKE

THE TRUTH



ALL YOU WANTED TO DO

WAS TELL LIES

THAT CAME BACK TO YOU



CALL ME A DRUNK

WITHOUT DIRECTION

BUT I THINK

I NEED ANOTHER DRINK

I BLAME YOU

FOR MY FAULT



KEEP YOU GUESSING

YOU NEVER KNOW

WHERE THE BLESSING

COMES FROM



LIVE ON MY OWN

WITHOUT A CARE

IN THE WORLD



HE WILL PROTECT YOU

FROM THE PROBLEMS

YOU MAY FACE

ANY DAY

ALL YOU NEED IS FAITH



KNOW THAT HE LOVES YOU

AND WILL

ALWAYS

KEEP YOU SAFE



FROM A DARK PLACE

TAKE TOMORROW

AS A GIFT

HE GIVES IT BACK

10 FOLD

NOT WHAT YOU GOT

BUT WHAT

YOU HAVE BEEN BESTOWED

EVEN WITHOUT

A PLACE TO GO



A LIFE LESSON

I COULD NEVER

LEARN IN SCHOOL



I have too much time on my hands while I am on "vacation", good that I have time to write another poem but I am drinking like a fish. But that will end soon, as my money is running out. I might go into detox in Marathon as I am tired of the situation as I wait for my song to get done. Celebrating too early, I think and I have no clue on how it sounds but the producer has emailed me a few times and tells me it sounds great. You never know how the public will take your song. It's gonna take 2 more weeks for the finished CD then I have to pay for distribution which is only 8 bucks to get delivered to over 750 outlets online including
iTunes, Amazon and all kinds of other sites. So we'll see what the future holds, if I had a crystal ball, I would tell you now, but I don't. I've decided to name my publishing company after my grandfather who was a Major in the Allied Air Force and my mothers' father, his name is Collis Jordan so I liked the ring of, Major Jordan Productions, being that they produced me, I think it would only be fair if I paid homage to them. That's all for now, just pray I don't drink myself to death or end up in jail!! Peace, Love and Happiness!!

FRESH OUT OF BUBBLE GUM

There's a joke about kickin' ass and bubble gum. These words I wrote last night and I couldn't stop laughing!! I don't know if the reference of an "ass" doctor in which my brother is a anal cancer doctor, a Professor of Oncology to be exact, I guess he likes dealing with assholes, I personally can't stand them, but that is his chosen profession. GOD bless him, it's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. I love him with all my heart!!! I dedicate these words to him, with tongue and "ass" cheeks, of course!!!




FRESH OUT OF KICK ASS

BUT I THINK

WE MIGHT

STILL HAVE SOME

BUBBLE GUM


WE'll TAKE YOUR NAME AND NUMBER

AND CALL YOU IN THE MORNING


TO SEE

WHEN THE DOCTOR

CAN PUT A FOOT

UP YOUR ASS



Short and simple, but, at least, I think, to the point.



Wrote a few more lines that I like, but have yet to put them to a poem, here they are.......


But first, let me give you words a fellow homeless man named Ken wrote in my notebook as I was writing another poem/song pissed off at K.O.T.S. after they told me they were full and I had to go. He told me that he had a line to write, then I handed him my notebook and he wrote,

"Have I told you, how much I like you, I said to my hero"

Pretty cool and surprising to me, you never know, how somebody thinks about you.

The homeless community is usually vindictive and out to get you, as you sleep in the same place. For the most part, it seems to me, they try to get everything with greed, without thinking about somebody else, Me Me Me. I know one guy who HAS TO BE FIRST IN LINE at the soup kitchen EVERYDAY!!! Ridiculous to me, but what do I know, I'm just another man, living on the streets.

O.K. Enough banter...here are some of the lines...



BURN A BRIDGE

YOU WILL NEVER

CROSS AGAIN




KICKING ASS NOW

TAKING NAMES LATER

YOU STARTED A WAR

I WILL NEVER FORGET

TO

FINISH




TREAT ME

LIKE A EPIDEMIC DISEASE

POINT YOUR FINGER

WITHOUT A PLACE TO SLEEP



ONE OF

THE ELITE SOCIETY

SUE ME

WITHOUT MONEY

TO CONSUME

YOU WISH

YOU WERE ME

I WISH

NOT TO BE YOU



Thank you, this concludes our broadcast of the poeticdrummer blogspot, remember, the only life, you have, is one! So, make sure, you have some fun!;)

Poem Of The Day Before They Kick Me Out Of The Library

Quick post, gotta go, before I leave, here's a poem, I wrote today.

Written April 29th, 2013




DRY MY EYES, FROM THE TEARS I CRY



LEFT ALONE

WITHOUT A HOME

THE TEARS

I DRY

BY MYSELF

GIVE ME

ANOTHER DAY OF HOPE



WASH AWAY THE PAIN

I WISH

TO DO WITHOUT

NOT MY FAULT

NOT IN THE CARDS

THAT I WANTED

TO BE DEALT

TRAPPED

WITHOUT A PLACE TO GO

TOUGH ROAD

I WISH

NOT TO BE

BUT IT'S A FACT

THAT REMAINS

REALITY



TRYING TO WRITE A SONG

THE ONLY THING

I HAVE LEFT

IN THIS WORLD



SHOOT ME AT THE STAKES

FOR TRYING TO RELIVE

MY MISTAKES



MY MOM

WENT AWAY

BY THE TIME

I WAS FIFTEEN



I WRITE THESE WORDS

TO STAY ALIVE



TO SURVIVE

WHERE THE DAD

I NEVER SEEN

WENT



YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND

I TRY TO EXPLAIN

BUT EVERYTHING

WENT THE WRONG WAY



THE OTHER WAY

I STILL HOLD ON TO A DREAM



NOT EASY

A LOT OF TEARS

I HAVE BEEN THROUGH



I DON'T RECOMMEND

THESE WORDS I LIVE

THE ONLY THING I HAVE LEFT

TO HOLD ON TO

AND GIVE





PLEASE FORGIVE ME

I WISH I

COULD TELL YOU

SOMETHING ELSE



MY ADVICE WOULD BE

HAVE FUN

WHILE YOU CAN



BEFORE YOU FALL

INTO THE GRAVE



REGRET SOMETHING

YOU NEVER DID



I TRIED IN LIFE

THE BEST

THAT I COULD DO

ALL I HAVE LEFT

IS BLOOD TO SPILL



YOU THOUGHT

YOU HAD THE TRUTH

MY REALITY

A LIE

NEVER TOLD

MY PROBLEM REMAINS

STILL UNSOLVED



DRY MY EYES

FROM THE TEARS

I TRY

NOT TO CRY



A PLACE

I RUN AND HIDE



HAVE TO GO THROUGH

THE PAIN

BEFORE YOU GET TO

THE GLORY



JUST ANOTHER

PRICE IN LIFE

YOU HAVE TO PAY



I DON'T RECOMMEND

GOING DOWN

THE SAME ROAD

I HAVE BEEN TO



I'M A CRAZY MOTHERFUCKER

LIVING ON A DIFFERENT CORNER

WITHOUT THE COST

OF RENT

BUT THE DREAMS

ON THE STREET

ARE NOT THE SAME

AS YOU MIGHT THINK



JUDGE ME

BY THE COVER

OF MY BOOK

TAKE A SECOND LOOK

BEFORE YOU MAKE

A JUDGEMENTAL DECISION

I JUST MIGHT CHANGE

SHOW YOU

A THING OR TWO



I HAVE TO GO THROUGH LIFE

JUST LIKE YOU

JUST THROUGH

THE EYES

OF A DIFFERENT STORY

WITH END RESULTS

UNKNOWN



These words are all over the place, but then again, HEY, SO AM I..!!, what a coincidence, how convenient, matches the point in question, as if, you didn't have an answer. Stare in the mirror, to see what I am after.

ANOTHER DREAM TO BELIEVE

I just sent in my final payment to get my song "Alcohol Call"  recorded should be done in about 3 weeks or less!! Can't wait to hear how it sounds, as it is a long shot in the dark, it's going to be a country song. I wrote these latest lyrics between 4-23-13 and 4-25-13 at my Secret Sleeping Spot on my vay cay, as I am currently unemployed. I am still trying and I will never give up, it's because of you, I never will. Thanks for your support and reading my words. I love you all!!!! I hope someday to make you all proud!!

AS THE MOON ROSE

I LAY MY HEAD DOWN

CONTEMPLATE

WHAT I DID WRONG TODAY

DREAM ABOUT

WHAT TOMORROW

MAY BRING

DO I HAVE A CHANCE

TO MAKE IT IN A WORLD

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

THE WIND BLOWS

IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION

TO A PLACE

WITHOUT A HOME

ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS

I DON'T KNOW

ALONE

EMPTY

UNDERNEATH

A FULL MOON

MUSIC THE ONLY THING

LEFT

TO HANG ONTO

KEEP ME SAFE AND WARM

PASS THE TIME

THROUGH THE STORM

A HARD ROAD TO FOLLOW

GIVE ME A BIGGER BETTER BITTER PILL

TO SWALLOW

TAKE ME AWAY

FROM MY SORROWS

WAKE ME UP TOMORROW

WHEN

THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER

GIVE ME

THE KEYS

TO PARADISE

YOU WOULDN'T

BELIEVE I'VE

BEEN BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF

AN AMAZING RIDE

A SIGHT

I WISH YOU COULD SEE

LETTERS

I PUT TOGETHER

TO EXPLAIN MY WORDS

GIVE ME ANOTHER DAY

TO DREAM

NEVER TAKE AWAY

MY MEMORIES

I MADE THE BED

I REST MY HEAD

BLAME MYSELF

ALL MY FAULT

I DON'T BLAME

ANYBODY ELSE

BAD CHOICE

I GUESS YOU COULD SAY

I TRIED

RIGHT OR WRONG

THAT'S THE WAY

 LIFE GOES

Deal of the Century / 10 days until unemployment

Well well well it's been a swell couple of weeks. I've been working and making money as the clown in the Staute of Liberty suit. I swear the people driving by are more entertaining to me than I am to them. It's a fun job but somebody's got to do it, thank God for music, I couldn't do my job without it. I found the deal of the century, in fact, I am typing on it as I type. I had a homeless buddy sell me a iPad for a 100 bucks for which he paid 4 loritabs and 40 bucks for. I had purchased a Zeki Jelly Bean tablet @ Kmart for 99 dollars and had it for about a week. I downloaded all kinds of music videos and one day went to play the videos and found they were no longer on my device which made me very upset, as music videos are my lifeline from the outside pressures of the real world. So finding the iPad, I returned the android piece of shit back to the Kmart and got my money back and picked up the smooth as silk, works every time iPad. And as a bonus, unbeknownst to me, was able to download all the songs I had purchased before from iTunes and download them on to my great new iPad device which amounts to over 700 songs and 2 full length video concerts that I had forgotten I even bought, Journey 1981 Live from Houston and Cheap Trick Live at Budokan 30th aniversary edition. Great stuff!!!
So I am so blessed to have a iPad with all the entertainment I need including GarageBand to write music with, Tiger Woods golf and iMovie to make, what else, movies!! And I have Internet access at work!!! Which leads me to say that I have 10 more days until my job ends which is no surprise as I know after April 15th, tax season is over and there is no need to market the service and let me mention I am the last Statue of Liberty standing as my co worker called in sick for a few days then stop calling and never showed up again for work which means more hours for me.
I know it's been a while since I posted (like you give a shit) but I have been doing some work, writing the occasional poem, shooting video and playing video games. This morning I wrote this poem and I will attach video on what I saw after I wrote the poem and I left my Secret Sleeping Spot which, to me anyway, was pretty cool. We had a rainstorm in Key West the day before.
Final note, I have my song "Alcohol Call" in music production with a company called Magic Key Productions/Red Rocks Records which I hope to have done by the end of April and I am registered with ASCAP. We'll see what happens. Exciting to me, I recited just the chorus to my bosses' wife and a regular former WNBA Olympic gold medalist musician client of Liberty Tax, and they both got goosebumps, and it wasn't some smoke up my ass bullshit, I felt the bumps!!! So that was shocking and beautiful to hear. You never know how the audience might take your words. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Blame It On Boredom /A Couple Poems and a Few Song Lyrics

Written 2-24-13...I just noticed the ALL CAPS. It's easier for me to do that then hitting that damn shift button every time I want a capital letter. So please forgive me, I am not SHOUTING!!! O.K.!!!!! JEEEZE

- I WROTE THIS NEXT TO THE COW KEY BRIDGE IN KEY WEST SITTING UNDER A TREE, DRINKING MY BEER (VICE), LISTENING TO MUSIC AND WATCHING A GREAT BLUE HERON FISHING ALONG THE EDGE OF THE WATER AS I WAITED FOR THE HOMELESS SHELTER LINE TO GO DOWN AS THE HOMELESS PEOPLE (ZOMBIE SHEEP) MADE THEIR WAY WALKING PASS ME GOING TO K.O.T.S., WHEN OUT OF THE BLUE, I SAW A DORSAL FIN COME OUT OF THE WATER IN FRONT OF THE HERON. IT WAS A DOLPHIN, YOU KNOW LIKE FLIPPER, SWIMMING FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO UNDER THE BRIDGE TO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN SIDE. WHICH, I HAVE SEEN A DOLPHIN IN THE WILD BEFORE BUT I STILL THOUGHT IT WAS COOL AND WALKED ACROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC TO CATCH A CLOSER GLIMPSE OF THE MAMMAL BUT IT HAD ALREADY GONE PASSED. AND NO, I WASN'T THAT DRUNK AND I WASN'T SEEING THINGS, OR DO HALLUCINOGENIC DRUGS. IT WAS A COOL, BEAUTIFUL SIGHT THAT YOU DON'T SEE EVERYDAY. I TOLD THE HERON THAT, THAT FISH WAS TOO BIG FOR HIM TO CATCH, THE HERON LAUGHED, SHOOK HIS HEAD AND FLEW OFF, SQUAWKING..



WHO IS "THEY"? / A+ ASSHOLES AND OPINIONS


TEARS IN THE DARK

IT'S BEYOND BELIEF



HOW COULD I EXPECT

FOR THEM

TO THINK DIFFERENTLY



I'M JUST ANOTHER GUY

LIVING IN THE STREET



WALKING DOWN

A DIFFERENT ROAD

THEY NEVER EVEN

THOUGHT ABOUT



I LOST MY BOX

I TRY TO THINK

DIFFERENT STORY

REFLECT ON THE PAST



REMINISCE

HOPE TO PRAY

TRY TO CATCH

EVERY WORD

I TRY TO FORGET

LOOKS LIKE A CROSSWORD

NO HARM

PEACE FOR THE WORLD

WHY CAN'T

QUESTION THE HORNS

OFF A BULL

UNTIL I FIND

THE RIGHT

CORRECT ANSWER



SEEMS SO EASY TO ME

SO HARD FOR OTHERS

THAT HAVEN'T HEARD



WONDER WHY

EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY



SO SIMPLE FOR ME

SUCH A PROBLEM

FOR THEM

WHO EVER THEM ARE



HAVE I BEEN

GIVEN A GIFT

OR HANDED A CURSE



THEY TELL ME

WHO EVER THEY ARE

IGNORANCE IS BLISS

BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHAT THAT IS

WHO EVER THAT IS



I AM HAPPY

WITHOUT

A CARE IN THE WORLD

THERE'S ENOUGH BULLSHIT

GOING ON ALONE

WITHOUT ME

GETTING INVOLVED



STAND UP

AND SAY

WHAT YOU THINK YOU CAN CHANGE

SIT DOWN

IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO

OR SAY



DON'T BLAME ME

FOR YOUR FAULT

ALL YOU CAN DO

IS TRY



WAKE UP

ONE DAY

DEAD

SLEEPING FOREVER

UNDER THE COVER

OF WOOL OVER YOUR EYES

AS YOU COUNT THE SHEEP

THAT PASS YOU BY



PEACE IS YOUR SILENCE

NEVER TO BE HEARD AGAIN

YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE

BUT YOU NEVER SPOKE UP

NOW YOUR THRILL IS GONE

AS WELL AS YOUR SECOND WIND

TO YOUR LAST BREATH



I TRIED TO TELL YOU THE FIRST TIME

BUT YOUR EARS WERE CLOSED

DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN

YOU THOUGHT I WAS A FOOL

WHO DO YOU

THINK

IS A FOOL NOW

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL



TURN THE MIRROR AROUND

TO SEE WHO IS TO BLAME

THE FAULT

ALL YOUR OWN

KEEP YOUR POINTED FINGER

AWAY FROM ME

FLIP IT

UPON YOURSELF

THEN PUT IT UP

YOUR RECTUM HOLE

YOU SCAPE GOAT

WHO EVER YOU IS

EAT A TIN CAN

YOU NEED TO ENROLL

INTO A PLACE

THEY CALL SCHOOL

YOU'RE SUCH A A+ ASSHOLE

YOU CAN LAUGH AT THE MONKEY

DANCING IN THE SUIT OF ARMOR

DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YA



THEY SAY IT'S A SIGHT TO SEE

BUT I CAN'T SEE IT

I'M BEHIND THE TIMES AND SCENES

I JUST MOVE

TO WHAT THE MUSIC TELLS

ME TO DO

AUTOMATIC

NO BRAINS NEEDED

TO THINK ABOUT IT



JUST LISTEN

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

HAVE YOU LOOKED IN THE MIRROR LATELY?

I'M SURE YOU WERE

A CHEERLEADER

BACK IN THE DAY

PRESENTLY

YOU REMIND ME

OF A SEA HAG

FROM OUTER SPACE

LIVING IN

A HOMELESS PLACE

SORRY FOR MY OBSERVATION BUT

YOU ASKED FOR THIS TREATMENT

I TOLD YOU TO GET AWAY

BUT YOU JUST WANTED

TO BE A ROYAL PAIN

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

NOW YOU MUST SUFFER

THE CONSEQUENCES

WITH A

GOOD OLD FASHIONED

TONGUE LASHING

SORRY I HAVE TO GO

REMEMBER ONE THING

I HATE TO SAY

YOU'RE THE



(Chorus)



PLEASE LORD AND EVERYBODY OFFENDED, PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF MY WORDS ARE A LITTLE HARSH BUT SOME OF THESES ANIMALS ASK FOR IT AND I WILL BE TOYOTA AND GIVE IT TO THEM. DON'T PUSH ME TO THE EDGE. I'M ALREADY OFF MY ROCKER. "THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THEY BE FUCKIN' WITH" -(OutKast Andre 3000 300 or somethin' like that)





ALCOHOL CALL



I ASKED THE BAR KEEP

FOR ONE LAST DRINK

AND ONE MORE FAVOR

BEFORE I LEAVE



COULD YOU DIAL

MY BABYS' NUMBER

ON THE PHONE

BEFORE I GET

READY TO GO

TO TELL HER

WHERE I HAVE BEEN

ALL DAY LONG

BUT ALL I COULD SAY

BEFORE THE MOON ROSE

WAS



(CHORUS)



SORRY HONEY

I MEANT TO CALL

BUT I FELL ASLEEP

ON A TELEPHONE POLE



I HAD A HOME

I USED TO CALL MY OWN

BUT I TOOK

A FALL

INTO A SEA

OF ALCOHOL



(CHORUS)





SHE SAID SHE WAS TIRED

AND THAT SHE

WAS GOING TO LEAVE ME

SHE COULDN'T PUT UP WITH

ANY MORE TOMFOOLERY



(CHORUS)



BUT I SAID

WAIT A MINUTE NOW

THESE WORDS THAT

I WRITE DOWN

WILL BUY US A HOUSE

AT THE END OF THE ROAD

THINK ABOUT THAT

BEFORE YOU LEAVE TOO SOON

OUR DREAMS

ARE ABOUT TO

COME TRUE



(CHORUS)



COUNTDOWN SING ALONG



ONE TWO

MANY BEERS

THREE FOUR

SHOW ME THE DOOR

FIVE SIX

SICK OF THE SAME OLD (BEEP)

SEVEN EIGHT

SHE HATE TO WAIT

NINE TEN

WHERE DO I BEGIN AGAIN

ELEVEN TWELVE

WAKE UP BY MYSELF

THIRTEEN FOURTEEN

SEARCHIN FOR MY BEAUTY QUEEN

FIFTEEN SIXTEEN

MUCH TOO YOUNG FOR ME

SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN

START A NEW BEGINNING

NINETEEN TWENTY

I NEED ANOTHER FORTY

TO FIND ME

A BRAND NEW SHORTY

WITH A POCKET FULL OF MONEY

SO I CAN SAY



(CHORUS)



(END OF SONG)



THE WORDS WRITTEN IN THIS SONG THAT I WROTE SOME TIME AGO ARE SOMEWHAT TRUE WITH A LOT OF MADE UP BULLSHIT THROWN IN TO CREATE A CONTINUITY TO A STORY LINE. THE PART OF THE SONG THAT HAS RELEVANCE TO THE TRUTH GAVE ME THE IDEA FOR THE SONG WHICH IS THE TELEPHONE POLE PART. I REALLY DID FALL ASLEEP ON A TELEPHONE POLE ONE NIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE OLD OVERSEAS LOUNGE IN MARATHON. I WAS DRINKING A BEER OUTBACK OF THE OVERSEAS LOUNGE SITTING ON A TELEPHONE POLE GETTING READY TO GO IN FOR THE WEEKLY SUNDAY NIGHT OPEN MIC JAM AND PLANNING ON PLAYING THE DRUMS. IN FACT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS EITHER A SHORTAGE OF DRUMMERS OR LACK OF TALENT, I WOULD USUALLY BE UP ON STAGE DAMN NEAR ALL NIGHT AND THEY EXPECTED ME TO BE THERE AND I WASN'T EVEN GETTING PAID ALTHOUGH WE DID GET FREE BEER AND IT WAS A FUN TIME. ANYWAY, I GUESS I WAS TIRED AND DECIDED TO LIE DOWN ON THE TELEPHONE POLE I WAS SITTING ON AND ENDED UP FALLING ASLEEP ON IT AND I MISSED THE WHOLE JAM NIGHT, WALKING IN ON THE LAST NUMBER OF THE NIGHT. I TOLD EVERYBODY I WAS SORRY FOR BEING LATE, I MEANT TO CALL BUT I FELL ASLEEP ON A TELEPHONE POLE..... THE HOME I USED TO CALL MY OWN IS IN REFERENCE TO BEING HOMELESS THEN AND NOW. AND THE SEA OF ALCOHOL IS IN REFERENCE TO WHEN I WENT OVER THE SEAWALL, TWICE, ALONG N. ROOSEVELT IN KEY WEST INTO THE WATER WITH MY BIKE BECAUSE I WAS FUCKED UP OFF OF VODKA. THE FIRST TIME THE AMBULANCE PICKED ME UP OUT OF THE WATER AND I WOKE UP IN THE CORNER OF THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND WAS TOLD BY SECURITY AS THE SUN WAS COMING UP THAT I HAD TO GO AND I WAS STILL SICKER THAN A DOG, PUKING MY GUTS UP. THE SECOND TIME, YEAH I KNOW I SHOULD OF LEARNED THE FIRST TIME, BUT THAT LIQUID COURAGE IS SOME POWERFUL SHIT, I WENT OVER THE SEAWALL WITH MY BIKE, BACKPACK, LAPTOP, iPOD, MY CLOTHES ALTHOUGH THEY WERE SOAKED EVERYTHING ELSE WAS RUINED OTHER THAN MY BIKE WHICH I NEVER DID GET BACK AFTER I WOKE UP AT A BUS STOP WITH NOTHING BUT THE WET CLOTHES ON MY BACK TO A KEY WEST POLICE OFFICER TELLING ME TO WAKE UP AND MOVE ON. SO THAT'S THE STORY BEHIND THIS SONG WHICH I HAVE SOMEBODY CURRENTLY IN THE STUDIO PUTTING MUSIC TO MY WORDS RIGHT NOW. IT'S GONNA COST 200 DOLLARS BUT I GET TO KEEP 100% OF ALL THE ROYALTIES. WE'LL SEE. IT'S GOING TO BE A COUNTRY SONG.I DEFINITELY WILL POST IT SOMEWHERE FOR SALE OF COURSE AND LET YOU KNOW THE MINUTE IT IS AVAILABLE. PEACE OUT...I'M THIRSTY!!!! ;O....zzzzzzzz... HEY BAR KEEP, GIVE ME ANOTHER DRINK!!!!
