Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
I do like the hills....
Lyrics
Been on the Plains Too Long DC GDC GCAAm GGG Well my thoats getting dry like the dirt on my boots How long have you two been in cahoots I thought we were settled if mouldering along Guess I've been on the plains too long DC GDC GCAAm GGG G DEm AA The heat is oppressive and so is this town Guess I am the last to know what's going down Maybe we all just got bored with the song Guess I've been on the plains too long been on the plains too long GC GEmD GC GAmDC GAm There's a haze in the distance dust up to the gills I believe this ain't the place ywhere I belong It's time to be heading back up to the hills I've been on the plains too long Been on the plains too long Where is my focus where is my drive How do I know that I'm still alive What is it that's right what is it that's wrong Guess I've been on the plains too long instrumental So I'll hitch up my wagon and pack up my stuff I guess you can tell that I've just had enough Head for the hills where you know i come from Guess I've been on the plains too long
