lyrics

shapin and a shiftin
and a rollin and a driftin
a feelin and a fallin
and a weeblin and a wobblin
A failing and succeeding
and a begging and a pleading
not knowing where you going
is the only way to go and
I got a hundred dollars
and a clean starched collar

We're getting on down tonight


I'm a boy who loves his mother
and is kind to his brother
don't need no one to tell me
nothin in this life is free
i got a hole in my pocket
gonna shoot off like a rocket
got a one way ticket
Destination you can't pick it
I'm a lover and fighter
A licker and a biter

We're gettin on down tonight


Interstellar space travel
The judge he bangs his gavel
Says its just a pipe dream
That may be the way it seems
But when we're hangin out in bars
Over on Jupiter or Mars
We'll have the last laugh
When he acknowledges his gaff
They say 147
is the new 111


We're getting on down tonight


Some say God isn't real
That depends on how you feel
If he's with you right now
have him stand and take a bow
He's done one helluva job to
inspire the angry mob
Who light torches in his name
look for somebody to blame
Blame the muslims, blame the jews
Next time they might blame you

We're getting on down tonight


Well you're born and then you're dead
Now go and get that through your head
I'm in information retrieval
I ain't no Evil Kneivel
But one slip on icy stairs
And it's all just splitting hairs
End up in the same place
With or without a suitcase
If there is another side
I won't be trying to hide

We're getting on down tonight

about

Tom Savage image

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
