Instrumentation Tony Graham Guitar/Vocals/Lyricist "Singer Songwriter Tony Graham has had the ability to magically mesmerize every audience I have seen him perform before. At a Tony Graham performance, while you are inadvertently wandering through past, present and future thoughts, you can’t help but wonder if the late Jim Croce hasn’t re-incarnated himself into the mind and soul of Graham. Or is it the reclusive Cat Stevens that keeps tickling your ears? Has James Taylor and Dan Folgelberg had their magical hands in on the honing of this guys talent? Yet what you are actually hearing and experiencing is something fantastically unique and fresh. Tony Graham is one of the best new songwriters of our day. Someone is going to grab a hold of this guy and run. Wouldn’t it be fun to be a small part of that history?" Mark Tenoi - Streetlight Magazine Http://singersongwritertonygraham.com “A unique and original American voice”. The voice echoes Cat Stevens, Jim Croce and Dan Folgelberg during their soulful, musical best. But Tony Graham somehow remains his own man, with his own memories, stories, and visions. He is not only well worth hearing, He is well worth hearing again and again Forest Benning - Nightlife Entertainment Graham, has been building an ever growing following for years by sculpting songs packed with spirit and passion. Dorine Bordin DB productions INC The Next American Idol Reviewer: Simon Cowell Tony Graham could easily be the next American Idol or the next Nashville Star. Hope to see him in the competition.

Story behind the song
I walked into a resturaunt after work to get dinner and it was full of well dressed snooty people and the whole place went hushed when I walked in the door with my work clothes on. People sat as if embarrassed with my presence.
Lyrics
I’m Thinking I’m thinking That I ought to be dressing myself up in brand new clothes. For one reason, People say that the clothes make the man, I guess that’s true I suppose, That if it’s all about the money and the things that you own, It must be true what they say about your clothes. Because I’ve noticed, When I’m wearing my faded blue jeans and worn-out old T-shirts, I’m just somebody nobody knows. I’m thinking That I ought to be driving around in a brand new car. For one reason, People say they can vision your life by the cars that you drive. But if the world just stopped revolving and we lost our gravity, Would weights and measures still measure the same? So I’m thinking, When I’ wearing my favorite blue jeans and nostalgic old T-shirts, I’m not the one who's in need of the change. I could show off all of my money. Display the mountains that I’ve climbed. So I could finally be acknowledged as a man of worth. But could I cling to those things when I float away from earth? So I’m thinking, I’ll keep wearing my faded blue jeans and worn-out old T-shirts, And refuse to compete in the game. I’m thinking. Yeah I’m thinking. Oh baby I’m thinking. I’m thinking. I’m thinking. ©2004 Words and Music by Tony Graham
