KEN BAILEY
I have been playing music since the age of 8. I play all the instruments on my recordings, I am a lot more concerned with sharing my music than with making money from it. I have a bedroom studio, I will leave it up to you if that's working out
Story behind the song
"We've seen what this old town can take, now let's see what it can give"
Lyrics
High above the fast moving city, with the sirens and lights that never stop
let's make a date, let's tempt fate, I'll meet you on the rooftop
beyond the reach of hustlers and cops
We'll set our sights on the end of the day, and see what the fading light has left to say
We'll have a few drinks in the light of the fading sun, we'll have our fun
we'll give all the cabbies names, imagine where they live
We've both seen what this old town can take, now let's see what it can give
And after awhile, we'll slow down, we'll shift gears
and turn up the radio and toast each new star as it appears
and it's not just the wind that blows me away
it's having you here, and hearing all the things you have to say
And you say "it's still early, let's live beyond the laws of the magistrate
light up, come up, the time is now, don't stop or hesitate"
and the stars seem to shine in your eyes, lighting up the darkened skies
and hits me like a fourth of July fireworks surprize
