The Wheel Still Turns

the car's a wreck
but the wheel still turns
and i'm out of gas
but my heart still yearns
on the lookout for
my lost time
thinking 'bout
a friend of mine
this whiskey glass
is like the holy grail
promises the world
sets you up to fail
and all it took
was your last postcard
you know when i fall
i sure fall hard
yeeaaaahhhhh
4:30 am
in a cheap motel
didn't see it comin'
guess it's just as well
and the cops are banging
on the door
don't think i wanna
play this game no more
7 am
in a holding cell
one count of possession
and a story to tell
sure wish you were here
to bail me out
you know i miss you girl
in that there is no doubt
yeeaaaahhhhh

Train Keeps A Rollin'

200 dollars and a bottle of jack
girl on my mind and a monkey on my back
an hour and a half from our destination
i'm looking at 25 years incarceration
I gotta heavy heart from the things i've done
it takes a hard man to live this life on the run
i can a sharp blade under my bed
come down him and he he'll be the one who ends up dead
train keeps a rollin' on through the night
nothin' but darkness in its sight
the hounds are howling and the moon is full
where it's gonna stop, nobody knows
now when i was a kid i always flew straight
i loved everyone i had no time for the hate
then a girl came along, ripped my heart in two
the devil on my shoulder knew what he had to do
now if only these shackles weren't weighing me down
i'd take this train, i'd turn my life around
once you're on that track it can be hard to see
wake up to realize you're never gonna be free

the preacher says i should pray to god
he's the only one who gives a damn
the preacher says i should pray to god
he's the only one who gives a damn
well, that's not what he said exactly, but that's how interpreted the man
the preacher says i should pray to god
he's the only one who gives a damn
i think i might just go rob a bank
seems like the smartest thing to do
i think i might just go rob a bank
seems like the smartest thing to do
get myself a bag of cash, maybe take a Caribbean cruise
i think i might just go rob a bank
seems like the smartest thing to do
60/40 split if you drive the car
to make our getaway
60/40 split if you drive the car
to make our getaway
And if you got a buddy's where could stay, maybe lay low for a few days
60/40 split if you drive the car
to make our getaway
Turns out i didn't have the nerve
to go through with it after all
Turns out i didn't have the nerve
to go through with it after all
life can be tough, it can be real hard, but i'm in it here for the long haul
Turns out i didn't have the nerve
to go through with it after all

Amarillo

Sacamento's got your number
Talahassee's got your name
and it kinda makes you wonder
how long you're gonna play this game
blacken out the windows
the sun ain't gonna win this round
whislte blowin' in the distance
you know it's an awful sound
Pittsburgh doesn't want to see you
and you sure don't want to see Detroit
Albuquerque is no option
no opportunity to exploit
you need an understanding woman
who's gonna fill your heart up with hope
end up with some part-time junkie
she's just handing you the rope
Birmingham, Alabama
isn't where you thought it would all go down
you thought you had it in you
to go another 15 rounds
no call from the governor
just the whisper of the cool black steel
good ol' fashioned frontier justice
you were born lookin' at a raw deal
a cool west wind is blowin'
over your shallow grave
you never made it down to Amarillo
your soul was never meant to be saved

Lunatic Baby

stark raving mad i'm a lunatic baby
but you don't want to get the wrong impression of me
i'm wanted in 49 and a half states baby
the only place that they don't want me is in southern Tennessee
i was born into a low budget Hollywood movie
my daddy wore a sixgun and did what he pleased
my mama tried to raise me as best as she could
but her best wasn't good enough so you get what you see
we'd move from town to town, daddy'd get himself to workin'
but then he'd end up robbin' the local liquor store
one day he shot the store clerk and he ended up in prison
then all that was left was my poor mama and me
my daddy got the chair, my mama found religion
i found the keys to his pickup, an '89 Ford
i rolled down the interstate, lay waste to all that i saw
an angry little boy, my mama's demon seed
now you don't have to wonder why i am the way i am
it's the cards that i was dealt, that's how it's got to be
once you step inside this truck your world is changed forever
'cause i don't let nobody take nothin' from me
stark, ravin', mad, i'm a lunatic baby

We're Older Now

waiting for the dawning of a new age
listening to Segar, turn the page
sitting in the driveway on the patio chair
taking in the beauty, wondering what's up there
philosophical discussion, we're way too stoned
i can't feel my body and i know i'm not alone
it's a helluva trip, this midnight ride
speaks to your soul, hits you inside
we're older now
we're older now
we're older now
we're older now
voyageur bus trip hunted by ghosts
i guess that a home was the thing that we wanted most
laughing and joking and masking our pain
made sure we stayed high so we could stay sane
we're older now
we're older now
we're older now
we're older now
you went your way and i went mine
neither of us can say that we ever really fell in line
with the day-to-day routine, we're ramblin' still
no matter where we go we'll be climbing up that hill
we're older now
we're older now
we're older now
we're older now

Tom Savage Kingston, Ontario
Tom Savage is what one might refer to as a triple-threat. One part truth-telling troubadour, one part death-defying guitar slinger, and one part Country Blues howler. Each facet of his formidable on-stage persona carefully crafted over a 20+ year devotion to the composition and performance of song. Tom is a true believer. A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more
Tom Savage recommends:
Foolish Frank
by Frontier Folk Nebraska
This is some good ol' fashioned rock and roll! Nice hooks with the right amount of garage band roughness.
go to album
This is what an album should be. A collection of songs that, when placed in a particular order, create a fulfilling listening experience, far greater than that of the individual pieces of music.
