Story behind the song
A song I wrote about our lean, early years
Lyrics
I was never the richest guy They told me I didn’t qualify Paid in for years, but there were Other voters to buy Lying awake, how do I get through? Just don’t see any way to You tell me everything will be alright And I know that it’s true Refrain: Wash away this fear I have Wash away the year’s I’ve spent Make me like a child again Chorus: There’s always a better day And its not all that far away Things change, so someday There will always be a better day I got a job on Rideau street By the bakery, I could make ends meet If he paid me, paid me on time I could make, I could make ends meet Kraft dinners, how do we get through? Just don’t see any way to I hear you say everything will be alright And I know that it’s true Refrain: Wash away this fear I have Wash away the year’s I’ve spent Make me like a child again Chorus: There’s always a better day And its not all that far away Things change, so someday There will always be a better day

Hi Richard... I thought I'd vist your page and give you a listen...you have so much material here. I like this one a lot...it has that "Bruce Springsteen" blue collar feeling to it...as you sing about day to day life. The piano work is excellent (is that you?) ...and the vocals , as always, are outstanding. I love the background singers you recruited for this...they sound great! I can't believe that nobody else has commented on this track besides me....what the hell are they waiting for, anyway? I hope you're well, my friend. Keep on Rocking! P.S. It's been quite a long time since any of us did one of those Blues Forum Collabs...maybe we should think about possibly doing another one...they're always fun. I am just getting a new music computer set up with Pro Tools...so I should be available to something before the year is over....(just a thought) Hugs...Mike (NAV)
