Time To Stroll

(Nick Duer)

This is my life history. Fast life, fast lane. But through music, sunshine, whatever part of me always looking for peace. Even now believing it's there. Just no clue where.

As a younger man I never really had a goal
Wreaked havoc on the prairie, a man without control
Well that kinda life eventually takes it's toll
Piled alot of pain on my body, scars upon my soul

I was born in time to be part of the start of heavy metal
Had to have it all no way I was gonna settle
All that flower power, but I couldn't touch the pedal
Black it was the pot, gold lost in my kettle

Didn't see the damage I'd done sure did feel the hole
Moved to Sin City and let life's dice roll
Hid everything I could, but I could not hide my soul 
Gonna run through the jungle, when I should of strolled

Had a girl named Anne bout as fine as a woman comes 
Course I couldn't hold her, way to young and dumb 
See Vegas had lots of crazy, and I needed some
Along the way it became just bout stayin numb

I don't really know the point of this song
I guess just to remind myself I was wrong
How could I be so weak with a spirit so  strong 
Now I just want a place, a place that I belong 

Never saw the damage I was doing, now I live in that hole
Made it through that hell it all it cost was my self control
Hid everything as long as I could, but I could never hide my soul 
I been running through the jungle, but think it's time to stroll

Now fifty something and I look forward to the end
Only one woman I loved to her this message let me send
As fake as my world was, my heart was not pretend
Hell I loved you so much times it even helped my heart to mend

But shit is, and is not meant to be
And you never felt the same for me
Even now I close my eyes and you are what I see
Something bout that picture still can set me free

Nothin gonna change the damage thats been done
Lied to the fucking devil, the father, and the son
Lost everything I loved, but I never lost my soul 
No more running, no more jungle. In the next life I will stroll

A song describing the ups and downs of life. Also the ups and downs of love. Both capturing the truth that you must give to receive. Often giving comes with no guarantee, save the promise if you don't give then you will never receive.

He Loved The Women

By Nick Duer

This is my first country song, it's based on a fools life, and that fool is me. I went 9 years clean, and during that time a good 6 years without even kissing a girl. You have to relearn some things. I had been the drunken crazy guy. The girls went out with me to show their wildness, or upset their parents, or current or ex-spouse. Once I got a taste again I was off and running. Let a bunch of fine, honest, loving ones slip through my fingers. Maybe cause my fingers were busy texting the next victim or grabbing her behind. Now older, alone, I have some regrets. But I wouldn't trade a one of them. Cause I do love the women.

On Angels Wings

By Nick Duer

Another song for the Angel on 9th Street. As I call her. She is truly beautiful, most of all her eyes. At the time I was struggling with life in general. It sometimes took as little as a thought of her eyes to give me courage, or motivation to keep trying.

Plagiarized Love Song

By Nick Duer

The ultimate love song, for the biggest love the writer has ever felt. He is a lover of love, and a lover of song. The woman never returned the feeling. But the feeling itself is return enough. A playlist named Songs For My Angel, contains most of these songs. Any song he has written since meeting her has a little inspiration from his Angel.

Material Thing

By Jordan Lewis

This song tells the thought of how they prefer the path of achieving their dreams rather than settling for a normal job and also what makes them successful. The money or the things they have.
