My Song 'Back Up' is on YouTube!

Here is my February song release, “Back Up,” on YouTube! Please share this link widely on social media and in private messages so that as many people as possible will be unable to get the chorus out of their heads.

Thanks again to producer Tom Rueter, who sounds terrific on this track, to sound artist Bruce Sharp, who made the track sound terrific, and to Shane Starr, who designed the heartbreaking cover image.

Also, here are the lyrics:

Back Up

I said “Some of them don’t make it
A lot of them”
He said “When did you last see her?”
“Around September”
And he had me pour through photos
F’r’a shot of them
He said “What were these guys wearing?”
“I don’t remember”

“Cheers,” she said
Took a bottle to bed
And brother, she never got back up

Oh they had my love on weekdays
For therapy
And they had my love on weekends
For prayer and healin’
Twelve steps and one to grow on:
Th’ Hesperides
So I gave to her a bottle
A lovin’ feelin’

“Cheers,” she said
Took a bottle to bed
And brother, she never got back up

Well it’s looking like “obstruction”
And “homicide”
‘Cause they found her in my bedroom
With my Jack Daniels
‘Cause there wasn’t no abduction
N’they know I lied
But if you can make the funeral
Light thirteen candles

“Cheers,” she said
Took a bottle to bed
And brother, she never got back up

‘Cause when we were kids in the country
Folks might not understand
And if you lost your mind and your mem’ry
You might be abandoned
But in your system here in the city
It’s no man’s land
A system can’t love a woman to death
The way a man can

“Cheers,” she said
Took a bottle to bed
And brother, she never got back up

“Cheers,” she said
Took a bottle to bed
And brother, she never got back up
Back up
Back up
Back up
