about

Tim wrote this song long ago. It appears on 'Dead and Gone.' Loose Roosters play the tune live so much we had to put it on the new record.

lyrics

Wasn't that long ago
you were sitting by my side
wasn't that long ago
I had nothing to hide
wasn't that long ago
I was happy and feeling free
wasn't that long ago
you were such a good friend to me

Then I think...
If I could just have a drink
on the brink
I don't want to think

Time changed and rearranged
I chose a different road to hoe
Mama cried but the tears in her eyes
were like dessert salt in Mexico
things got strange
I found a horse with no name
and oh how we rode
all that was was a couple of times
not that long ago

Then I think...
If I could just have a drink
on the brink
I don't want to think

Contemplate and wonder
who I am and where I am today
was a tree, fast cars or whiskey
that made me change my way
friends and family feel that way
with wonder in their eyes
but I just keep on trucking along
over bridges and rivers of lies

Then I think...
If I could just have a drink
on the brink
I don't want to think

about

Loose Roosters Boone, North Carolina

Loose Roosters

Finer gentlemen, you’ll meet few
Writing songs that are all brand new
Live in the mountains with a kangaroo
And boy who cries about the age of two
Many have tried to play as they do
But the soul of a rooster is required of you

Tell all you know to come from far and near
The roosters are loose so lend them your ear
