That's a good one Pete. My mother's favourite when I was a kid was...you come home here dead and I'll kill you! She said jokingly... hopefully!     

nice song Jim. i found it difficult to play with your chords and it helped with an Am in here and there. as the writer you know how to play it so lets hear it please.     

Thanks for the listen and great comments. Apparently I can be funny on occasion though my family don't think so, they rarely listen to my songs anyway. My jokes just make them groan, that's fine cos that makes me laugh!!!     

thanks Pete.
i recorded it back in 2008 and the only part of the process i remember was slapping my hands on my knees during the solo bit     

Happy birthday my friend. I'll soon be celebrating the 39th anniversary of my 30th birthday! So rest assured I shall be lifting a glass and wishing you many happy hours on your Taylor, all I'll get is a big bar of chocolate and a bag of jelly babies....swap?

Hi Newby, welcome to Chordie. you probably have a very high pH level on your fingers which will take off the shine and dull the ring of your strings. This will happen with just about every make you can get. I knew a guitarist that removed his strings regularly, boiled them then used an oil coating to preserve the tone. To be honest I don't know if that works so I just get cheaper end strings: Martin's or d'dario for acoustic and Fenders for electric. I would recommend a heavier guage string for acoustic which will hold their tone longer.     

A very moving piece Pete. It brought back memories and fears. I've never taken drugs but I was a heavy drinker...long, long ago due to the friends I had I expect. Now I warn my kids and grandkids to think about the consequences of what they're about to do as everything we do when we're young comes back to haunt us later in life. It's not easy to be an onlooker either as a nasty drunk or an out of control addict can destroy and affect lives. Another great observation well reported.     

Enjoyed that but I kept waiting for the trumpet to come in...lol     

Did you write this as a stadium anthem? I can just imagine the crowd singing back to you I WANT MORE! Love it! Also the line "pay my bail" definitely one I want to hear
