about

Inspiration? Don't know. Just wanted to see how many verses I could write that ended with a rhyme for "night".

lyrics

Gears will grind, cogs will turn
Chimney smokes, the furnace burns
Now the moon is shining bright
I’m taking baby home tonight

The bossman speaks, the whistle blows
This place is deep in thought control
I can’t stick around and fight
I’m taking baby home tonight

This river bed is no place to sleep
It’s kind of muddy, it’s kind of cheap
And no one’s leaving on the light
I’m taking baby home tonight

The clocks will crow at the break of dawn
Rise and shine, the game is on
Now the road begins to wind
I’m taking baby home tonight

The hammer falls, the trap is tripped
We got caught up and the label sticks
It only happened once or twice
I’m taking baby home tonight

Every street turns me back
Every heartbeat a heart attack
I’m not falling on that knife
I’m taking baby home tonight

Nothing gained, nothing learned
No deposit, no return
I don’t see an end in sight
I’m taking baby home tonight

The Successful Failures Trenton, New Jersey

"The first thing you should know about The Successful Failures is that any attempt to plug them into one genre or another is very much a fool’s errand. Hailing from Trenton, N.J., the band deftly combines Americana, Pop, Rock, and enough of a dusting of Bluegrass that serves as an appetizer to the main course without overwhelming the entire meal." - July 2020, Rock is the New Roll ... more
