Grand King Deluxe 03:45

In my hotel room looking out my window Below the city looks so fine Basket of fruit and a king size shadow Scotch and soda, French white wine It’s good to be riding high in luxury Feels good to be alive living beyond practicality Pink flower moon hangs over downtown My friends are stoned on the balcony Things sure have changed a lot in a short time I remember when this was such a crime It’s good to be riding high in luxury Feels good to be alive living beyond practicality It’s good to be riding high in luxury We know that nothing lasts live it up every opportunity It’s good to be riding high in luxury Feels good to be alive living beyond practicality It’s good to be riding high in luxury We know that nothing lasts live it up every opportunity

Marathon Days 03:06
lyrics

Been so long since I felt free Since life held meaning you see All work and no play Not what I pictured for me No money, short on time I’ve got a soul crushing job No honey, no good wine Just glad I don’t have to rob Well I’ve learned to survive But life ain’t just getting by By Sunday I feel more dead than alive My boots on and the suns up Drive in to punch the clock The days long and the woks tough I’m so far from the top I don’t need no fancy car Don’t need no membership card Peace of mind would sure go far Don’t wanna worry so hard Well I’ve learned to survive But life ain’t just getting by By Sunday I feel more dead than alive Yeah I’ve learned to survive 
Barely just getting by Someday I’ll know what it feels like to thrive

Blue Wednesday 03:05
lyrics

Give me a reason why I should try again Another season coming to a bitter end Why be foolish, throw caution to the wind Why try again Picked up the pieces and I put ‘em back in place Pushed the reset, took time took space I can’t shake the past, why go back for me Why hurt again Oh I ain’t wasting no more time Oh I got to draw the line Ain’t wasting no more time Time, wasting no more time Time, wasting non more time Can’t read the future or planetary signs I’m getting nothing, it’s a flaw in my design I can’t shake the complex, or restore my confidence I don’t have faith Where is your gumption, your back bone and your grit Don’t lose function, don’t go call it quits Stay on the journey, don’t sabotage the game And throw it all away Oh I ain’t wasting no more time Oh I got to draw the line Ain’t wasting no more time Oh I’ve been blue and I’ve been burned Oh I have lived and I have learned Ain’t wasting no more time Time, wasting no more time Time, wasting non more time Time, wasting no more time

It feels like my birthday Rain through the streets of the king Red leaves and green magnolias And the yellow gingko trees Just doing what I please I’m doing what I please Passing trains and trolly cars You know you are on November 6th Street Been a long time since I’ve been here I only get back every couple of years Down on old Beale Street They’re shooting blue notes into the night Man, I feel alright I feel alright Passing trains and trolly cars You know you are on November 6th Street Passing trains and trolly cars You know you are on November 6th Street I wont do ya no harm I wont do ya no harm I wont do ya no harm Do you ya no harm Passing trains and trolly cars You know you are on November 6th Street Passing trains and trolly cars You know you are on November 6th Street November 6th Street November 6th Street November 6th Street November 6th Street

I’m gone I’m leaving gonna roll the dice Might break even might be cold as ice Put the odds in my favor I’m ready for a chance Bright lights are calling, fountains and gold Seen ‘em in pictures kiss ‘em and let ‘em roll I’m going down the old highway Catch a place and fade away Yeah all I need is a lot of luck Godspeed and a Midas touch Yeah all I need is a million bucks A big lead, am I asking for too much I’m going down the old highway And may be leaving on the run Brick street boogie downtown dance Casino cash rolled up in my pants She put me to her breast Cherry wine was on her breath Put me to her breast Honey you can be my guest Yeah all I need is a lot of luck Godspeed and a Midas touch Yeah all I need is a million bucks A big lead, am I asking for too much I’m going down the old highway And may be running from the run Oh yeah Yeah, yeah Uh Huh May be leaving on the run

Foster McGinty Nashville, Tennessee

Though heavily influenced by guitar-driven rock, pop, and blues born out of Memphis, New York City, Detroit, and the British Invasion in the 1960s, Foster McGinty is not a throwback artist recreating a golden period in popular music. While a familiar retro texture is ever-present, Foster McGinty has a sound and style undeniably both modern and original. ... more
