lyrics

if this blood i'm spilling
isn't good enough for you

i'd be moving on to
i'd be moving on to

if these words i'm singing
don't mean anything to you

i'd be moving on to x2

if you're heart is black
and your spirit's broke
then it ain't no joke x2

if the highlight of your day
is your late night toke
then it ain't no joke x2

when you're beat up and broken down
bloodied and bruised
Feel like you've been used ?

when you're wore out and weary
and wondering why
you let me pass you by

I won't be the one to cry

if those tears that are falling
don't make me take pity on your soul
then it's time for you to go x 2

if this look in my eye
doesn't let you know
then it's time for you to go x 2

CHORUS

if those moments we were sharing
were anything but true
i'd be moving on too x2

if you're a little too high brow
to hang with regular folk
then it ain't no joke x2

if you never have heard the saying
that you reap just what you sow
then it's time for you to go x2

about

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. Tom Savage
go to album
Enderness
by A.A. Bondy

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. Tom Savage
