'CUT & RUN' EXCLUSIVE
Cut and Run" was crafted while I dabbled in drop D tuning, with the objective of combining an open string riff with a walking-style bass line. The composition draws inspiration from SRV and the sounds on his holy grail album, "In Step," which I repeatedly spun during my wood shedding years. I wanted to recreate those same sounds with my 1956 Stratocaster and carry out a fierce, raspy styling through my vocals. The song was recorded in a single take and embodies the high-energy of the band. Not only do I love playing "Cut and Run but I hope you'll be moved by the song just as I was in its creation

The Lyrics
I’ve been thinking bout you baby
Trying to see where we went wrong
The way i’m seeing things lately
I choose to right my wrongs
Can’t say we never had some fun
But whats done is done
Shouldn’t a let it go on this long
Now feelings i had are long gone
Sitting here waiting for the sun
And its time i cut n run
The anger it dies down
But the pain you caused me still lingers round
Your just a stranger to me now
And i forget what we were all about
Can’t say we never had some fun
But the time has come
Shouldn’t of let it go on this long
Now feelings i had are long gone
Sitting here waiting for the sun
And its time i cut n run
Looking back at us baby
and how we got so upside down
it weighs on my mind heavy
oh silence from you is the only sound
cant say we never had some fun
ya we had a good run
you think you really know someone
oh but whats done
its time to
cut and run
cut and run
its time to cut and run people
cut and run
