lyrics

i've got a tank full of gas
and a heart full of hope
i've got a weekend pass
from pretending that i'm able to cope

i'm going to see what it's like
to live carefree
i'm going to do unto others
what they never seem to do for me


i'm a little too fond of them neon signs
the night life seems to know my middle name
every now and then i fall back in
and i convince myself that i'm really not the same

as those sorrowful souls on desolation row
i've got too much going for me
but i'm a selfish fool with a heart of stone
holding up a white flag and waiting for some relief


sweet salvation at the bottom of this glass
only trepidation is that this moment has to pass
sunlight streams into the stale barroom
i'm all out of time, i'm all out of cash

be out on the street before too long
try to get my bearings , try to find my car
no one told me it could go so wrong
wish i'd won the lottery or been a rock star

the night could have gone a whole lot worse
wound up in an alley instead of the drunk tank
no crimes committed and no harm done
i'm the only victim and i've got myself to thank


when the road gets rough
you'll be right behind me
ready to pick me up
ready to redefine me

when times get hard
at your wit's end

wait 48 hours
then put me back together again

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
