Alan D. David. Songwriter and performer in various musical genres. By trade, I am a lead guitarist. But, in recent years I have become more of a songwriter/comp
For over 40 years I played lead guitar and did back-up vocals in various country bands. It has been one of the greatest thrills of my life. But, these days I stay at home and compose songs, both lyrics and music. My writing style is much broader than just country music. I also write southern rock, a little blues, lots of smooth jazz and movie themes and even some latin music. I have been writing for about 20 years and hope to for quite a few more years.

Lyrics
Addicted © 2011 Alan D. David, BMI / Diana Bowers, BMI (v1) Everything that’s bad for me, is disguised as so much fun Every time I fight it, Lord my resistance comes undone I can’t hold back, can’t keep it on track That’s just the way it’s always been (v2) God knows she’s crying, my woman waits all alone While Jim Jack and Johnny, keep me drunk then I get stoned I can’t fight it, no way to hide it I’ll be dancing with the devil till the end FIRST CHORUS I’m addicted, so conflicted Will I ever see the light of day Yeah I’m addicted, I’m afflicted I don’t think I’ll ever find my way INSTRUMENTAL I’m my own worst enemy, got no one else to blame Lord knows I’ve ruined my life, this dark hole has brought me so much shame But there’s a flicker, I hear her whisper My woman stands behind the flame SECOND CHORUS Yeah I’m addicted, I’m still conflicted But now I got someone to light the way Yeah I’m addicted, but not convicted With her help I’ll find the light of day TAG With my woman’s love, God knows I’ll find my way
