First draft of a song I wrote for a friend that I met who did more for me and others than he ever knew. RIP my brother.
lyrics
Raise A Ruckus - First Demo Draft Version
Words/Music By: James Vincent Carroll
I walked into a bar one day with trouble on my mind
Said "make mine a double of leave it all behind"
A man sat down next to me and said you're in the right place
'Cause 'round here we serve shots of love and lifelong friends are made
CHORUS:
Lift your glass here with me - Let's drink to the memories
That brought us all together where we are
Family near and far all because of one man's heart
Pass around your favorite mason jar
And raise a ruckus in this bar
Several years have come and gone - I cannot believe
Seems like we just got here and then it's time to leave
Oh, I'll always remember the time he shared with me
The chances he gave all of us to be the best that we can be
REPEAT CHORUS:
Even when it's closing time and we hear that last call
We don't have to say goodbye at all
I have watched this young man grow into a successful musician over the years. We did some of his early material together and he is still cranking out some amazing songs! James Vincent Carroll
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
