A lesson in habit control. Or not. My friends and I have all had our personal demons.

I am a Rock Musician. I just play 'em like I hear 'em. With The Hipwaiters sound something like everybody. I know that is hardly a fair comparison. So... Alt, P
On my tunes it is usually me playing everything because, it is hard to find the time to bring in other people while I am in the writing process. So what you get is me programming drum tracks, then playing the bass, guitars, and keys, and finally the vocals and backing vocals.

Story behind the song
I wrote this one on the piano in a honky tonk/stride style and have attempted to adapt it to a blues rock style a few times. This is my latest. My friends and I have all had our personal demons. This was just a general observation about exceeding with excess.
Lyrics
You left town at 22 Now you’re back at 44 Hundred proof through and though Crawlin’ for the door Messed up things you left behind A million things you’ ll never find You’re wound up till you unwind Crawlin’ up on higher ground Not too funny to you right now You’re half way up Or half way down See the world in black and white Never wrong and always right Half as strong Twice as Bright You’re half way up or half way down Bon voyage to so called friends Burn your candle at both ends It isn’t life when it’s the livin’ end Crawlin’ up on higher ground Not too funny to you right now You’re half way up or half way down I believe in miracles How did you ever last this long One foot in the grave I guessed Guess I got it wrong Bon Voyage to so called friends You burn your candle at both ends It isn’t life when it’s the livin’ end Crawlin’ up on higher ground Not too funny to you right now You’re half way up or half way down Half way up or half way down some kind a minor miracle You’re still around Half way up half way down A little sunshine from the lost and found Half way up or half way down down down It isn’t life it’s the livin’ end Crawlin’ up on higher ground Not too funny to you right now You’re half way up or half way down Half way up half way down down down Half way up half way down down down (Repeat and Fade)

Guess I picked this one to start with because of subject matter. Travelled some of the same detours myself. Real stuff here my friend.When you are in the mood & won't to kill a little time you can check out "One More In The Line" I think I hid it on the back side. Don't get much play on it. Metaphorical take on same problems. I'm a simple guy .
