Me and a guitar. I think what I do might be described as "Allegorical American Music." I'm in love with the mystery of three chords, a simple melody and sometimes obtuse lyrics. In this digital world of sampled pure tones and instant "professionalism" these are songs written as simple arrangements for guitar and voice in the American song writing folk tradition. Everything is recorded straight off into a couple of mics with no "fancy" multi-tracking, sampling or "real" production. I hope you might enjoy them. - john ford

Story behind the song
You fiure it out.
Lyrics
Jimmy woke up to follow a dream and carbon copy life isn't quite as it seems he bounced around this town in the grips of the machine till it ground him up and spit him out but life won't read like fiction and the truth is always out to get cha when your living in a paint by numbers world Joe walked the lines of the killing zone a perfect soho soldier lacking a soul counting the steps to fill in the holes she has it all without a doubt but life won't read like fiction and the truth is always out to get cha when your living in a paint by numbers world Billy watched the charts and kept the ship on course in a dog eat dog feast he beats a dead horse the children danced a jig not dreaming they were forced (urgh!) till she comes around the mountain when she comes but life won't read like fiction and the truth is always out to get cha when your living in a paint by numbers world Up on the hill tortured hands of time point down to the crossroads where we turn upon a dime we open up the scars sell paintings to the blind stone faced while the camera rolls but life won't read like fiction and the truth is always out to get cha when your living in a paint by numbers world
