Peter Erickson and Mark McClellan formed OFFICER 67 in late 1990 in Norman & began playing around the Norman OK and OKC area. We later were graced to have the talents of Dean Brown on drums and vocals. Our style is acoustic and we play anything from Beatles to Crowded House, from REM to Wilco. Originals and an album followed when Frank Lawrence, of FLAWRENCE & BEGEL loaned us recording equipment to capture original songs being performed live. With that, Endless Game was recorded and produced with the help of Darla Miller on backup harmonies and Frank Lawrence with studio production.

Story behind the song
Started as a rapid riff change to warm up before gigs. Then a melody appeared and words about chasing a dream fell on to the page. Dropped in a few easy "jazz" chords to break the song up.
Lyrics
I fell like steppin' out, in the end I know I'll be there All my fears can't hold me down, Lady Luck I hope that you deliver CHORUS My mind's made up, I'm not giving up You don't know me, you can't feel The way I do, the way I do My time ain't runnin' out, I've got so much more to offer I've got dreams to carry me, to a place so far from here I feel like findin' out, I'm not givin' in to the pressure I'll run this race to win, in the end I know I'll be there
