Story Behind The Song

great bar room rock tune written by me and rich mcculley who's originally from fresno--which is kinda like a rock and roll graveyard. lots of talented people who never seem to make it out, permanently stuck there and never realizing their dreams.

Song Description

Aging rocker, stuck in his hometown (fresno,CA). Friends are disappearing and he's feeling past his prime.never really quite found what his was looking for.

Lyrics

DONT TURN YOUR BACK ON ME TODAY

fresno like a grave
working like a slave'
a hundred and ten in the shade
feeling old before my time
like grapes for wine
forgotten on the vine

i know you'd help me
if you only could
but i've got problems
you cant solve them
baby, dont try to save me but dont your back on me today

dont turn your back on me today

field or factory
land
of opportunity
ten years disappear
it used to be clear
where i'd go from here.
where i'd go from here

i know you'd help me
if you only could
but i've got problems
you cant solve them
baby, dont try to save me

but dont your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today

days come
days go
seasons change
but everything stays the same

but dont your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today
