No Gojo In My Mojo (Farrell Jackson © 2025)

(V1) I'm standing here, my wheels won't turn. The fire's out no bridges to burn

I'm stuck inside, this endless night. Searching for sparks to reignite.

(Chr) My giddy ups gone. No gojo in my mojo. Life got in the way.

Motivation left the station. I need a vacation. Life got in the way.

(V2) The tracks ahead, are rusted steel. A shadow looms it’s all I feel

The map I follow, has blown away. I'm lost in echoes of yesterday

(Chorus)

(Instrumental Bridge)

(V3) The moonlight fades, the stars grow dim. A hollow tune a lonesome hymn

But deep inside, I hear a sound. A quiet hope as my heart starts to pound.

(Chr) My giddy ups gone. No gojo in my mojo. Life got in the way.

Motivation left the station. I need a vacation. Life got in the way.

My giddy ups gone. No gojo in my mojo. Life got in the way.

Motivation left the station. No time for recreation. Life got in the way.

(outro)

I've been working on this song for a couple of months. I wasn't sure what tracks I wanted to add or subtract. Once I figured it out, I wasn't happy with the mix. So I redid some guitar tracks and added more fills to the drums. I also added a blues harp at the the outro. With those changes the mix came into focus. I hope you enjoy the listen.

Credits: All me:

I used my Ernie Ball OLP (song picture) for all the guitar work. Into a Crate 5 Watt x 10" Valve amp, mic'ed with a Shure SM57. A Squire Modified Jazz Bass direct to board. A Chicago Blues Harp Key of E.  All vocals through a Neumann TLM103 Condenser mic. Zoom drums.
