lyrics

there's no money left to borrow in this town
no hearts left to break
so don't cry for the king with the paper crown
like a worn out eight-track he's made his last play

they say that california's nice this time of year
i suppose it's the same the whole year round
i'm still not sure what i'm searching for
so i hope it lets me know once it's found

CHORUS:
that's why i'm
leaving in a hurry or in a hearse
and i'm not sure which is worse
but i hate to leave things this way
and i have half a mind
to show you the kind
of damage you've done to me

this two-time loser seems to have lost his way
in the shimmer and the shine of the city life
so many good intentions turn into debts to pay
or an angry husband with a very sharp knife

CHORUS

i would've taken that highway home
if i'd only known
where i came from

i'd rather pass the buck than to share the blame
i never know when to leave well enough alone
and when the calvary comes i'll be gone
but then i guess that you might have known

CHORUS

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
