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.

Story behind the song
It's a song that's been in the back of my mind for quite a while. So, I finally sat down and wrote it.
Lyrics
Give Me A Break CHORUS Give me a break! From these storms that are brewing Lord, have mercy on my poor ragged soul It just keeps on rainin’ without any end Lord I’m begging Won’t you give me a break (v1) The phone keeps on ringing, it’s the same old jive The bank wants more money, or they’ll come take my ride Well I got laid off, so I ain’t got no dough Now how’m I gonna pay, what they say I owe And the taxman keeps calling, says I still owe a lot And he’s got what it takes, to take what I got Is there any hope, for a man in my shape It gets worse each day…I just need a break GUITAR SOLO (V2) My baby left me, said she ain’t coming back She went to the bank, and took all my cash Got a broken heart, that’s wanting to mend The heartache keeps hurting, there just ain’t no end Walkin’ around, in a perpetual haze Feelin’ just like, a rat in a maze I’m needin a change, had all I can take I’m doin’ my best…I just need a break REPEAT CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE – GUITAR ORGAN SOLO PRE-ENDING
