Song Lyrics
Fightin' The Fight( V1) Some people....have such a nerveOblivious.... to others aroundIt's time to throw some curvesAnd leave them wearin' a frownAll I am is...
( V1) Some people....have such a nerve Oblivious.... to others around It's time to throw some curves And leave them wearin' a frown
All I am is an honest man, Keepin' my head above the sand It's time to take a stand, 'Cause I really do give a damn
(V2) While waiting..... in the postal line Please hang up... your cell phone Don't wanna....... hear about your life You know you're not standin' here alone
You're gettin' into my space, Please take it to another place Slow down this is not a race, It's a big disgrace
(Chr) I'll keep on fightin' the fight, Sayin' what's right Cause sooner or later, You'll see the light
I'll keep on punchin' the bag, Haulin' the load Cause sooner or later, You'll find the road.................
(Instrumental break)
(V3) I see you..... texting in your car With no regard for the road Your movin'.....in a ticking bomb And it's gettin' ready to explode
You're gettin' into my space, Please take it to another place Slow down this is not a race, It's a big disgrace
(Chr) I'll keep on fightin' the fight, Sayin' what's right Cause sooner or later, You'll see the light
I'll keep on punchin' the bag, Haulin' the load Cause sooner or later, You'll find the road (Repeat Chorus)
This is an updated version of a song that was originally just 3 basses, drums and vocals.
DrC - All keyboards, drums programming and co-production

Nice production once again and I like the harmonizing bases and overall movement of the track. The vocals and the organ solo remind me much of one of my current heros (Neal Morse from Transatlantic and Spock's Beard)!

Thanks Stephan! Sometimes studio experiments work out (triple basses). I think DrC's drums and keys additions took it up a notch.

Down my way in the south we would say, "DayAm"! Great tune. So creative with the multiple bass parts (especially the wah). Fantastic guys!

Thanks for listening Rusty! DrC knows how to tickle the keys for sure.

Farrell ~ love this song ~ so true to life ~ gotta smile cuz no sense crying ~ glad you put it to a song & gave us a smile ~ there are a lot of oblivious distracted people out there walking & even driving with their faces stuck to their phones ~ glad I am wise enough not to be part of the crowd

So glad you handed this over to DrC. I haven't heard the original but wow, this is cool. Has a 10CC vibe.

Wow. Isn't this the truth. Everywhere you go these days, you have to listen to peoples life due to cell phones. I had a temporary one that I used from home. I still like the ol' landline phones. Guess I'm old fashioned (technically challenged), but still don't want everyone in my business. And when they passed the law on not being allowed to use cell phones while driving, That didn't slow anyone down. It's so scarey out there. This is a great song, about real life in this disfunctional world. Love it! 5*****

I love what the Doctors keys add to this song. Nice remix.
Just some songs that I've written over the years and to date. Plus some collaboration songs as well.
I've had fun with this music stuff most of my life...

I've had fun with this music stuff most of my life and still do. I gigged in a band for 35 years but now I'm just a home studio hack. Made some bucks from gigging but I guess the real payout is the numerous stories and memories from the road.
For a while I ran a small project studio at my place for soloists, duos, and the occasional full band. I gained a lot of recording experience doing that. It was definitely an experience. These days it's just me having fun in the studio. I try this and that with songwriting and recording. Once in a while it works. If I come up with something decent, which I think sounds ok, I'll post it up.
You can find my music on most of the popular sites ie. Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music etc. Thanks for visiting and if you have the time, hit the play button to hear a song or two.
