manonrun

My answer to Lauper’s “Girls Just wanna have fun” which I played over and over last year but couldn’t get into. Back then there was a sports bar called “Coaches” (still is), I have not been there for a long time since they went UFC, but that place is what I think of when I sing this song….but its actually inspired initially by a guy name Ted.

(i) Clayton Weimer 2009

Found myself a bar, bought myself a beer
Look around to and fro, looks like the coast is clear
Bought myself another, not I’m feeling fine
My team just scored up on the screen, that girl she’s looking fine
I’m a man on the run.
Broke myself some dollars, bought myself some songs
Don’t want to sound to petty but free fall’s where my heart belongs
Now I feel the rhythm, now I feel the flow
She comes up to me, now, where do I want to go.
I’m a man on the run.
Found myself a highway, still weigh a load,
lets see what down that next exit
at the end of the road.

ObamaMan

This is to the tune of Charlie Rich’s “Mohair Sam”. , the song that Elvis was playing on a bass in front of a TV when the Beatles came by to meet him. So I was just playing around, watching MSNBC going gaga for Obama, and figured, awe what the heck.   I just recorded it, [...]

#8 Is That Necessary?

Well, a complex song that has such a deep meaning on relationships …yeah right, this was written quickly on one of those days where everyone seemed to be yelling and whining (on the news, at home etc.), including our little puppie, Toby… so I locked my self in the bathroom while he barked and [...]

Political Emails & Shades of Gray

So I have been getting political emails from friends lately…mostly forwarded to me and a list of others, which were forwarded by their friends and etc. I am not publicly political, I don’t try to sway people other than to look at both sides, and point to resources and other fact finding engines. [...]

#6: Shades Of Gray

I wrote this song at the start of the current political season (which seems about a 100 years ago)…. don’t know where it came from except  my hair lately has been bugging people.  When I came up with the first line I yelled at Sarah to write it down so I wouldn’t forget, her “Hay” [...]

#5: Godwilling

This comes from the Mariner Jones papers… I’ll come clean on that soon enough, but this song must be explained with some reference to it. Jones was a pirate, a real one not a Jack Black), and he was part of the the first flock of wild geese that were forced off of Ireland. [...]
