BALLADEER (lyric video) - Jeff Lane
Balladeer - Jeff Lane (original song)
#ballader #jefflane #jefflanemusic #jeffsgarage
I like to tell the stories behind the songs when I do showcases, so I'll do that here. This song really goes ...out to all the other bar and "background music" performers out there who just like me have had many occasions where you're just there singing and pickin' your guts out and there's nothing coming back to you from the audience. Sometimes there's even barely any audience at all and the 5 people in the place are at the bar watching the game. Nonetheless you took the gig and you're doing what you gotta' do to get through it. That's where this song comes in to play. This song is about those "good places" you travel back to in your head that you rely on when things ain't awesome on stage. Fishing with Dad, remembering your Momma' smoking cigarettes at the kitchen table, you know... all the good stuff 🙂
LYRICS
Floating in silence - on a hot July day
Learning to be still - as the morning slips away
Poised like a Herron - Daddy perches on the deck
Fishing while the sunshine paints a ring around his neck
My old man showed me where to go to rinse my mind clear
Growing up like that made me The Balladeer
Smoking cigarettes at the table where we ate
in our house the kitchen was prime real estate
Mama played her Bob Seger records, our carpet was grass green
we'd sing all the words to Hollywood Nights thru the Famous Final Scene
I didn't know where I would end up, I just took it year by year
Growing up like that made me The Balladeer
I never thought I'd wind up here at midnight on this stage
with a tab to close and one night's pay laying in my case
When they turn the lights on, it's the end of another day
I close my eyes and I go back ... from where I came
This guitar is a time machine that runs on cheap draft beer
I guess that's why these barflies call me The Balladeer
