Lyrics

Anymore

Mama was a ball buster daddy was a crop duster
Sista hopped a train lookin fo 'er lackluster
last time she saw it it was fadin in the rain

I'm a six string hack walkin a rail road track
One stroke closer to a heart attack
Anymore these days are strange

Anymore i'm not sure what im doin or why im here for

Feelin like n old soul beat down like a hobo
Toolin a long tryin to make it through tomorrow
Reelin from the years in the cold

Havin lots of fun head toward the sun
I ain't foolin no one cryin through the sorrow
Healin takes time n it's slow

Anymore i'm not sure what im doin or why im here for
Anymore i'm not sure what im doin or why im here for

(c) Robert C Andrews. 2001

	Live or memorex? Excellent cover. Exceptional vocal. I would lose the canned applause going in and out, though. For me, it detracts from an otherwise genuine performance. Gives it an 'as live' feel. (In broadcast news, what we used to call a 'look live.') Why not just used the actual room sound? That aside, great job. Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

	Nice song Faultless song and performance, but I gotta tell ya, the applause at both ends is really cheesy and fake sounding. It really hurts my ability to take it very seriously.

	No disclaimer needed Very nice introduction. Love your low voice, honest straightforward presentation, perfect folk performance. I'm not sure why the disclaimer spoken line at the end. Classic songwriting and great folk lyrics, RC. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

	The strength of folk music Love your voice. The low range, the way it sounds like your singing just to me, that the story is yours, and true. I wish more men would sing low. Singing through sadness with no self-pity. This is the strength folks and blues can give. Thanks.

snowdragon	snowdragon said 1673 days ago (April 24th, 2005)
	The strength of folk music Thank you Eve. RC wrote the story, but the more I sing this song, the more personal it becomes. And with the number of comments I've been getting urging me to sing in the lower register, I think I'm starting to get the message. Thanks again. --- When philosophy and reality collide, reality wins Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7
