Free At Last at the Paper Tiger in San Antonio, TX, 1.2.16
Dakota helped me record piano for a new song today at the Greene City Courthouse today
I don’t usually post anything other than my music or art on this blog, but I’ll be damned if I’m not feeling obligated to post some pics of this weird Gibson guitar that I’m buying.
It’s a 1965 Gibson LG1 with what looks very much like a refinished body… At first, I really hated the color, but now I think it’s kind of part of it’s mojo. And the best part of it is, I’m getting it for less than $500. Dig it.
A few shots from my music video shoot yesterday
Grady Philip Drugg - Agua De Coco
Standing by, you’re someone else
So divided in yourself
Personal attacks become the norm
It becomes too hard to keep my heart warm
Couldn’t tell me where you’ve been
You’re no different than any of them
Narcissism becomes the norm
It’s so obvious, nobody really needed a warning
What sort of difference does it make
When you never give and only take?
I hope your “experiment” delivers results
I hope someone thinks your “performance art” is somehow thought provoking
I used to proud to call you a friend
But that time is over

Grady Philip Drugg - Liar
You’re a liar, whar are you trying to prove?
You’re a liar, you think that you can do
Whatever you want, but I see through you
You’re just a liar, what are you trying to prove?
You demand respect, I don’t believe in it
So now you’re crying, “Where are all my friends?”
I’m so tired of trying to make sense
Of whatever you say, but now it ends
Cuz now you’re crying, “Where are all my friends?”
You demand respect, I don’t believe in it
Why can’t you just grow up and be
Completely reformed?
Live in the real world with the rest of us
It’s real easy when you just tell the truth
You demand respect, I don’t believe in it
Grady Philip Drugg - Stick It Out (Hold On)
Check it out, I just can’t take it
This isn’t how I wanna go
It’s all about how they tell you just to fake it
But not really the act of actually doing so
I’ll stick it out
I’m gonna hold on
And I don’t care if anyone sees
Chickened out, I don’t think I’m gonna make it
I fall to the ground and gasp for air
So much doubt on my mind, my knees are shaking
I can’t talk like that, I’m not going anywhere
I’ll stick it out
I’m gonna hold on
And I don’t care if anyone sees
Check it out, I just can’t take it
This isn’t how I wanna go
It’s all about how they tell you just to fake it
But not really the act of actually doing so

Grady Philip Drugg - I’m Hiding Away From Your Love
I’m up in my head, I’m down on my luck
I’m hiding away from your love
There’s something around, it’s holding me down
I’m hiding away from your love
You lay in our bed in dead of night
I really don’t wanna fight
I’m hiding away from your love
I really don’t wanna fight
I love you so, I hope you know
I don’t wanna hide from your love
Your my best friend ‘til the end
I don’t wanna hide from your love
Grady Philip Drugg - Wide Eyed
Something other than your natural state has come on
You’re somewhere else besides your house
Then she walks in and asks you what you’re doing tonight
And you get quiet as a mouse before you say,
“Look at me, I’m happy as can be and I’m wide eyed”
She’s in disbelief,
“How can you be so wide eyed?”
Later on, you begin to believe she was right
You’re such a fool right about now
You feel so rigid and you’re grinding your teeth all night
It’s left you wondering how
She knew all along that you were wrong to be wide eyed
All alone cooped up in your home
You’re so wide eyed
Nothing shrinks to the size that you want it to be
The world’s so big and it blows your mind when you’re wide eyed
But don’t you let her change your mind
