about

My lifestyle - This came purely in the moment of stressing over bills. It was also an attempt to simplify a song musically with not so much going on within it, just a "wam-bam" thing. I had intentions of doing a quick skit in the middle where the telephone rings. I still might add it, and it would be me hanging up on a series of bill collectors. As it turned out I never took time to complete those tracks but I think it would be funny as hell. I have tried it out live with our band in the garage and they chuckled when they heard me doing it.

lyrics

Barely Making It

Monetarily speaking
I'm running out of gas
the gauge aint bouncing and it's going down fast
coasting to the pump
hope I don't hit a bump
I'm barely making it
Tires are leaking air and I aint got a spare
I'm barely making it
Don't feel bad for me
I'm my own worst enemy
It's the way I live my life
I'm barely making it
oooohhhhh barely making it
barely making it
barely making it

My "Brand New Day" went to hell
My "Blue Sky" turned grey
I solved the "Unknown"
and now it's time for me to pay
bills are all RED I can't get ahead
I'm barely making it
can't answer my phone I think I need a clone
I'm barely making it
Don't feel bad for me
I'm my own worst enemy
It's the way I live my life
I'm barely making it
oooohhhhh barely making it
barely making it
barely making it

*jam*

I'm barely making it
I'm barely making it
I'm barely making it
I'm barely making it
Squeeze is "on" and I'm sliding into home
I'm barely making it
Gate's coming down
I can hear the train's sound
I'm barely making it
Don't feel bad for me
I'm my own worst enemy
It's the way I live my life
I'm barely making it

Jon Wolter Sparta, Illinois

From Sparta, IL. I'm a self-taught musician that started out playing drums at an early age, then guitar in my teens. Pretty much traded in my music career years ago for blue collar family life. I set up a studio in my spare room in 2014 and started writing. 4 songs into my new fascination I was stricken with sudden deafness in one ear. ... more
