Mal Mapes

Representing the death of the rust belt since '02!

I'm Mal Mapes. The whole band part is a bit exaggerated. I'm a simple four-chord salesman armed with a guitar, and generally I just play with a drummer. I've lived here in the Cleveland area nearly my entire life, and it's rewarded me with plenty of ideas (and exaggerations) for songs, poetry, and life in general...

Story behind the song

I was just off in thought, snapped back to reality, and there it was.

Lyrics

Life's a wierd sensation, just a morning dream
It was a long strange trip by the time I was 17
Pick up my bag, put out my thumb
I've only started to have my fun....

And I'm still on the run
Don't know what I'm running from
But I'll get by
So dont you cry for me

Music is the world's best drug, and
Everybody just can't get enough
But hey, I'm just the same
I only wish I had what it takes

And I'm still on the run
Don't know what I'm running from
But I'll get by
So don't you cry for me

And I'm still on the run
But I will find my love
Out there in the sunlight....
