Drinking song by Dawn S.. Before Dawn had her vast array of songs she and I did this as she was looking for some musicians to put her words to music and she settled for me. LOL! Jim DeLecce Instrumentals/production and harmony. Remastered 2/08.
country drinking song
Fans of Beatles, Badfinger, Fogelberg, Moody Blues, Raspberries and other Retro Classic rock.
I am a fan of the Beatles, Fogelberg, Raspberries, Badfinger, Moody Blues, solo Beatles, Eagles. Any music that has solid vocals, good harmonies and a hook! I also am developing a fascination with old jazz standards. I am self taught on everything I play which explains my limitations. LOL! Up until a few years ago I was all accoustic all the time and did very little recording on an old 4 trak. I had written a lot of songs over the years on my accoustic most of those are not here as I started using the computer to record and wanting a more electric sound so out came an electric guitar, then I wanted a beat so the cheap drum machine came next, then I needed a bottom so the cheap bass was bought, then my drums sucked so I needed loops. Then I wanted some strings/sax so my keyboard was bought. Well you know the drill the more you get the more you want and songs that took 3 hours now take 3 days. And so my one man 6th grade band was born. I have put samples of the music I have written here on this website. I use drum loops and all other instruments are live Course you probably can tell that, LOL). Anyway as Harry Chapin's Mr. Tanner would say music is my life not my livelihood. I have met some great artists on SC and continue to hear great artists on SC. Click on the stations link to find Soundclick Radio stations where my music is playing. My music playing on these stations has been a pleasant surprise as these stations are filled with great musicians. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with some very good musicians here on SC. My brother Jim, Svenni Bjorgvins, Juri Rosenfeld, Johnny Proctor, His Masters Choice, DeAnn Sanders, Dawn Sinclair and most recently Dawn Diamond. I am very grateful to all these artists for helping me to have more fun than should be allowed for free. Writing/recording/producing music I find to be very rewarding. I am learning so much everyday about every facet. The exposure to so many great musicians has really helped me evolve as well. Well if you are still awake thanks for coming by. Other SoundClick Artists I recommend: Click on their links to hear some great music! Jim DeLecce my very talented brother Great Musician and great help to me in too many ways to count.

Story behind the song
Not sure but it sure is believable.
Lyrics
Author: Sinclair/DeLecce V1 I guess I am the type of man Who cannot keep a girl They come, they go, a tidal flow My head’s in such a whirl I know I should be broken by Rejection all the time It might be bad, but I’m not sad By midnight I’m sublime and I'm drinking.... White lightning and jamaican rum Tequila and some beers They shielded me from truth, When you walked out of here White lightning and jamaican rum Has got me on my knees That's not the whole equation, It's just part of the sum and I'm drinking.... V2 Will someone please explain to me What I am doing wrong I buy girls rings and do those things I’ve heard about in songs But when it comes right down to it I’d rather have a drink Up at the bar, with friends who are Too smashed to want to think and I'm drinking.... chorus and I'm drinking

Well Tony, another good darn good country song as well. Makes me thirsty. Your voice reminds me of a musician who calls himself Bright Eyes. Also I see my sister Rosie Clare enjoyed your song down below in 2010

Howdy Tony, Oh, I liked this!!!! I'm hearing a bit of a Paul flavoring in this, much the same way as Paul does in songs like Sally G. or Junior's Farm.....except it's totally original.....Awesome!!!!!! Are you sure you're not a certain knight of the British Crown? LOL!!!! Amazing work in every detail....great to hear some more country from you, loved the melody and the lyrics.....you are very versatile in your talents, Tony.....extraordinary!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers and compliments to you, Tammy & Jim, Wade
Catchy tune with some funny lyrics! Excellent vocal performance by Tony and Jim´s work in the background brings something "extra" to the mix. I particularily like the impression of live performance, that I get listening to the song. Good work by all! Peo

Fine job, Jim, on Production and hamonies! :) Tony, VERY FINE job on lead vocals..it's kinda unusual not to hear you doing the brit vocals..I think from hearing so many of yours, I always associated you with sounding all britty. :) Change is good, though. :D The spectrum is good, each instrument is separated nicely. :) 5-star treatment all the way across! :) Well written song by Ms Sinclair! :)
