Friendly Reminder

about

I had the pleasure of co-writing this song with the late, great Ed Tristram, who was a Greenwich Village fixture for many years. This recording features several of Ed's friends on background vocals, and the music video we shot features Ed's son Edward, Jr.

lyrics

(verse 1) She might be living in Kentucky now, or hiding down in New Orleans. You were just too damn lucky when you found the girl of your dreams. You knew you didn't have much of a chance to last beyond a month or two. What the hell was she thinking with a guy like you?

(chorus) This is your friendly reminder. She left you behind her. She coulda' been kinder, but you're not gonna find her. All the things that you told her ain't gonna hold her, 'cause she don't wanna see you ever again.

(verse 2) When you met her on that fine summer day the odds were a million to one. But now you gotta get her outta your head, 'cause what's done is done. I can't lie, it's gonna hurt like hell, but that's what drinking's for. So go on and finish that pint, and then let's order some more.

(bridge) I'm just trying to help you out brother, whether you wanna listen or not. She was bad for then, and she's worse for you now. Maybe you've forgot all the trouble and pain she's put you through. And in time that may fade away, but until that happens I'm gonna call you everyday.
