Peaceful State of Mind

(V1) Life can be so lonely... when you go it alone
It helps to make some friends....along the way
That's what the Lord.... made dogs for
To keep you company...when there's no more

I've hitched some rides and rode some trains
No one but myself to blame

(V2) I carry my guitar... and my well blown harp
Don't play like an angel.... or sing like a lark
But I have my stories.... and songs of the road
I've got a tatoo..... and some scars to show

I've been places I thought I would die
But for my wits I always get by

(Chr) I'm in a peaceful... state of mind
It doesn't matter.... what state I'm in at this time
Maybe I'll head West..... until the road runs out
Sail to an island..... somewhere in the south

(Gtr Solo)

I've been places I thought I would die
But for my wits I always get by

(Chr) I'm in a peaceful... state of mind
It doesn't matter.... what state I'm in at this time
Maybe I'll head West.... until the road runs out
Sail to an island..... somewhere in the south

I'm in a peaceful... state of mind
It doesn't matter..... what state I'm in at this time
I thought I'd be..... six feet under by now
But I keep rollin'..... along somehow

bop bop bada...bop bop ba dada
bop bop bada...bop bop ba dada
bop bop bada...bop bop ba dada
ooooooo...ooooooooo

This is a Country Rock collaboration between Gary Carciello and myself.

Gary - rhythm guitar, bass, keys, and drums.

Farrell - lyric, melody, all vocals, slide and solo guitar. I'm playing my Epiphone Casino into a SansAmp pedal.

I'm on a roll...this is my second song of the 2018 so far. At this rate I'll have enough for an album by years end, lol.
