about

Hey Friends... I'm happy to release "Womp Womp" a new track from my upcoming Album "Beauty Inside Us" which is coming out this July 31st! "Womp Womp" is lively porch jam and just a simple thought about how with some people in your life you just have to stick around long enough for the good stuff to come out! Featuring my buddy and fellow Lawrencian Armand Hyatt on the harmonica and a great arrangement by producer Nick Vandenberg... And look for "Beauty Inside Us" coming out at the end of July....14 original tracks by yours truly and produced and arranged by the incomparable Nick Vandenberg! And check out Nick's music at www.nick-vandenberg.com

lyrics

Womp, Womp

Womp womp womp, womp womp womp

That’s the sound of the fan keeping time on the porch in the summer
That’s the sound of good life, go limping down the road
Pappa says he likes it cause it beats those damn flies half to death
Gotta take care of things boy, before they get too widespread
‘papa how you get that great big scar on your leg’
He said ‘son you oughta, go play at Tommy’s instead’

Seeking truth from a silent man
Seeking wisdom from an empty man
Try to stick around, long as you can

That’s the time when you and mamma stayed up talking til morning
That’s the time when she threw your stuff on the road
That’s the time, when the police lit-up the place like a show
That’s the time when the neighbors say, you stopped saying hello

Seeking freedom for an angry man
Seeking love from a bitter man
Just stay away, as far as you can

That’s the sound of the fan keeping time in the summer
That’s the sound of a man who called an end to the game
Said it was time to come back and sit on the porch like his boy
Said ‘That sound right there’, that something I’ve really enjoyed’
“Son don’t ever let yourself get talked into nothin but this…
‘Only one thing worth living’ for, and that’s a good woman’s kiss”

Finding wisdom in an honest man
Finding beauty in a dyin’ man,
Just keep holding on… for as long as you can
