lyrics

You think you've got a hold on my heart babe
You think that I don't have the strength to run
Well, those promises I made, they don't mean a thing
And I ain't gonna be the one

Well, I remember the laughter and the good times
I remember when we used to have so much fun
But those days, they have gone along the wayside
And I ain't gonna be the one

Oh-o-whoa-wo-oh-woh-oh
I ain't gonna be the one

Well, you're Mama always said you were a good girl
So why don't you put down your Daddy's gun
Cause there's nothing you can do to make me change my mind
And I ain't gonna be the one

You can take the last breath from my lips babe
You can take the midnight moon and the setting sun
You can take everything that I ever had
But I ain't gonna be the one

Oh-o-whoa-wo-oh-woh-oh
I ain't gonna be the one

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

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
