Here's another one that Robert DePriest (ld57) and I collaborated on together. I really enjoy working with him. His lyrics are very inspiring and create vivid images. Really great guy to work with too. Although we have the tracks finished, I am not opposed to adding ideas that really add to the tune.
I am interested in working with a keyboardist (mainly organ and piano), drummer and sax player for this project if anyone is interested.
More to come.

Live and Let Live
Verse 1:
I saw a little blue-tailed lizard
Crawling 'cross my porch today.
He acted like he knew where he was going.
So I just got out of his way.
Verse 2:
Most days I'm all mean and crazy.
Look at me wrong, I'll slap you 'round.
But today's a good day to take it easy.
Just for today, I'm gonna back down.
Chorus:
I'm gonna live and let live,
Just for today, I'll give it a try.
Think I'm gonna live and let live,
No one hurt, nobody dies.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
Verse 3:
It really is a strange feeling.
'Cause I'm an excitable guy.
My favorite pistol's not even loaded.
I don't believe I'd harm a fly.
Verse 4:
Most days I'm all mean and crazy.
Look at me wrong, I'll slap you 'round.
It's a nice day and I don't know, maybe
Just for today, I'm gonna back down.
Chorus:
Yeah, I'm gonna live and let live,
Just for today, I'll give it a try.
I think I'm gonna live and let live,
No one hurt, nobody dies.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
Bridge:
I'm going with the flow,
It's a crazy notion.
Feel all warm and peaceful inside.
I'm going with the flow.
Today my life's an ocean.
It's a good day for ridin' the tide.
Yeah, I'm gonna live and let live,
Just for today, I'll give it a try.
I'm gonna live and let live,
No one hurt, nobody dies.
Outro:
Tomorrow I'll be back to normal.
So don't cross me, watch what you say.
God help all the blue-tailed lizards.
Tomorrow there'll be hell to pay.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
I'm gonna live and let live.
