Story Behind The Song

I was playing in a country band and the manager was an ex cop, on a full moon night he said that the police called that a felony moon and so I wrote the song.

Song Description

During a full moon there can be an upsurge of crime.

Lyrics

Living in the city?s got it?s Pain and Joys
You take the bad with the good, It?s either music or noise
Children on the street are growing up to fast
I try to slow em? down, So their body?s will last
Working on a shift that keeps me up all night
Cruisin? down the strip I hear the word it?s a fight
Down around the corner Fifty Fifth and Main
I see a shot in the dark, hear someone screaming in pain

Lord I think I?d rather be home in bed
Workin? this job, Must be out of my head
On the radio, I hear the same old tune
Buddy watch out Cause it?s a Felony Moon

Ninety miles an hour is the speed I drive
With the radio blasting, ?Wanted Dead or Alive?
Maybe you think that I?ll be having fun
But those who live by the sword might have to die by the gun

Lord I think I?d rather be home in bed
Workin? this job, Must be out of my head
On the radio, I hear the same old tune
Buddy watch out Cause it?s a Felony Moon

Living on edge has got a certain appeal
Your either holdin? the hand or waiting for Em? to deal
Sooner or later you?ll be face to face
With all the things that you?ve done that you can never erase

Lord I think I?d rather be home in bed
Workin? this job, Must be out of my head
On the radio, I hear the same old tune
Buddy watch out Cause it?s a Felony Moon
