Special Guest: Kirk Adams
This month I'm honored and pleased to feature one of Florida's pre-eminent power-pop purveyors, Kirk Adams. In addition to being a fantastic singer-songwriter, Kirk is a fine guitarist. He graciously added the perfect shades of slide guitar to complement this pandemic-themed ditty. Enjoy!

lyrics
Mornings have a way of becoming afternoons.
Days drift into weeks like wandering balloons.
Weeks add up to months, I blame it on the moon.
And debts unpaid will find their way home all too soon.
Here comes the past knockin' at my door
but it's not dressed like it was before.
What do you want, how'd you find me here?
Could you smell my fear?
Give me one thing I can use that won't get swept away.
Show me two things I can choose for a rainy day.
Tell me three things and I'm confused, but that's the price we pay
for having nothing left to lose
spinning in these nowhere blues.
Wake up in the morning it's a blank slate day
except for these distractions lying in my way.
By the afternoon my feet have gone astray
When evening comes 'round if I can't be found there'll be hell to pay.
Here comes the past knockin' at my door
but it's not dressed like it was before.
What do you want, how'd you find me here?
Come back another year.
Give me one try to light the fuse and get the hell away.
Show me two sides that I can choose whatever else you say.
Hand me my hair shirt and holy shoes and I'll be on my way.
Well, I've got nothing left to lose
I'm hiding in these nowhere blues.
Give me one thing…ooh
Show me two things…ooh
Tell me three things…
Nothing left to lose
I'm hiding in these nowhere blues.
Days drift into weeks like wandering balloons.
Weeks add up to months, I blame it on the moon.
And debts unpaid will find their way home all too soon.
Here comes the past knockin' at my door
but it's not dressed like it was before.
What do you want, how'd you find me here?
Could you smell my fear?
Give me one thing I can use that won't get swept away.
Show me two things I can choose for a rainy day.
Tell me three things and I'm confused, but that's the price we pay
for having nothing left to lose
spinning in these nowhere blues.
Wake up in the morning it's a blank slate day
except for these distractions lying in my way.
By the afternoon my feet have gone astray
When evening comes 'round if I can't be found there'll be hell to pay.
Here comes the past knockin' at my door
but it's not dressed like it was before.
What do you want, how'd you find me here?
Come back another year.
Give me one try to light the fuse and get the hell away.
Show me two sides that I can choose whatever else you say.
Hand me my hair shirt and holy shoes and I'll be on my way.
Well, I've got nothing left to lose
I'm hiding in these nowhere blues.
Give me one thing…ooh
Show me two things…ooh
Tell me three things…
Nothing left to lose
I'm hiding in these nowhere blues.
