lyrics

The man there on the corner
Sells me what I need to get by
A twenty bill delivers me
Beyond the dark clouds in my mind

These streets will turn into the yellow brick road
Pinwheels spinning so bright
Shooting stars and halos
Light up this concrete paradise

No I won’t fall down any further
If I can’t stand up
Lyin’ on this cold cold ground
Pretendin’ I’m the man I was

When I got back here stateside
My wife she was long gone
Couldn’t keep a job
Barely hangin’ on
Now these streets they are my home

The shame that I’ve been feelin’
Sure cuts me to the core
Hoped someday I’d bleed out
Wake up alive just like before

No I won’t fall down any further
If I can’t stand up
Lyin’ on this cold cold ground
Pretendin’ I ain’t had enough


No I won’t fall down any further
If I can’t stand up
Lyin’ on this cold cold ground
Pretendin’ I’m the man I was

The man there on the corner
Sells me what I need to get by
A twenty bill delivers me
Into this concrete paradise
On this warm December evenin’
In this concrete paradise

about

John Bunzow Portland, Oregon

He’s as likely to draw on his love of country legend Merle Haggard or barroom bard Tom Waits, as he is the smooth R&B and soul of Marvin Gaye, the folk wisdom of Bob Dylan, or the blues of Albert King.

He has established himself as an original artist of heartfelt depth, substance and style.
 
Bunzow commutes regularly to Nashville from his home base in Portland.
