Song information
The first week of January 2024 I posted what had been, until recently, a “lost and eventually forgotten” track called SPHINX. At that time my canine friend Daugrin commented: “How many more of these you got in that vault?” I insisted, somewhat adamantly I might add, that there were no more lost and forgotten tunes. Case closed!

WELL… A couple weeks later, my wife Diane discovered a DVD from 2007 that had fallen out the back of the drawer where I keep my DVD masters into a box of her art supplies in the drawer below it.

I remember that back in 2017 I had looked for it but never found it. I presumed it was, as it were, “lost at sea.” Amazingly, all the files were intact. It only required a bit of editing, remixing and remastering.

If memory serves, this tune was an experiment. It was my only attempt to do something outside of my folk-rock/classic rock comfort zone. I call it ACID FUNK.

It’s a bit quirky (not sure WHAT I was thinking when I wrote those lyrics!), but kinda fun… I hope some of you will get a kick out of it.

I did…

Lyrics
NOT MY PLACE

I
It’s plain to see baby, 
by the look in your eyes;
you’re expectin’ somethin’,
from me tonight.

Somethin’ to calm your worries;
…alleviate your pain.
Somethin’ to ease the problems,
in your troubled brain.

1st Chorus:
I been travelin’ this road a long time.
I’ve learned a thing or two along the way;
but it’s not my style to peddle panaceas.
Uh-uh honey, it’s not my place to say.

II
You’re standin’ there glarin’,
like I just slapped your face;
but a clear and honest answer baby,
—it ain’t no disgrace!

2nd Chorus:
I been travelin’ this road a long time.
I’ve learned a thing or two along the way.
I ain’t your “guru!” I ain’t your “messiah!”
Uh-uh honey, it’s not my place to say.

Ahhh… Get funky!

III
Why don’t you calm down baby?
You must be lost before you can be found!
You’re not the first wayward soul,
to tread this hallowed ground.

It’s not my place to say baby,
what path you got to take.
Open your windows! Let some Light in!
And it will show you the way…

3rd Chorus:
You been on this road a long time.
You’ve learned a thing or three along the way.
Don’t go lookin’ to me for the answers, baby.
Uh-uh honey, it’s not my place to say!

Outro:
Oh no… It’s not my place at all.
You’ll find your way… Hang in there!

Rock and roll…

FUNK was never my thing, but I'll try anything once.
(Well... that's not really true is it? You'll never hear metal, rap or hip hop from me...)
Thanks for listening and commenting bro.
Next post will be back to form. I promise!
Lol...

OOOPS! Methinks I prevaricated just a little.
I did do one song inspired by hip-hop.
Will post someday...
