Story behind the song
Recorded 6 track with the Fostex VF160, I had a new Martin 00CXAE acoustic I was trying out and all the studio sound shields were down, so we could experiment with an acoustic version, this is one of many live takes that night.. Michael Duran; Acoustic guitar & vocals Steve Layman; keyboards Marty Nicklin; Bass Steve Torok; Drums
Lyrics
Is it you again outside, Just banging on the front door? You say you had enough, Now you're coming back for more, But that's alright. I said that that's alright. I may not want to admit it, I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe. Now I don't mind when you send money And bring your girlfriends with you, But how could one be so thoughtless to try And handle less than two? But that's alright. I said that that's alright, baby. I may not want to admit it, I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe. Now I'm telling everybody It seems too good to be true: Sweet things can always get sweeter. I know mine did, how about you? Yes, it's alright. I said, yes it is, that's alright. I may not want to admit it, I'm just a fool for your stockings I believe. Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard 1979

YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why don't you sing often? A great voice like that and you have not been singing. Please explain. And, Michael, this song should be the first song on your list, in my humble opinion. You are hiding your talents from us all on here.
