Liner Notes

The idea for this one came from a couple of slugs on my tent once upon a time. I’m afraid I might hate it, and my guitar, but I’ve put too much time into it, and need to move on. Maybe I’ll like it better in the morning.

Lyrics

I see you comin’, like you have before,
With a wink and a jerk,
Those pearly whites might fool them all,
But this old fool has learned,
Between the jokes, the offhand remarks
Your rotten tongue will spew…
Residue

I used to hang on to your every word,
Picked up what you were tossin’ out,
I let you tell me how much I was worth,
You didn’t give me much to count,
You left no careless thought unsaid,
It was nothing to you, that…
Residue

You could have built me up, instead of cut me down,
Instead of letting insults fall out of your mouth!

Yeah, I see you comin’, you can’t hurt me now,
I’ve built up my defense,
I’ve gotten older and I’ve figured out,
I don’t have to pass your test,
It’s taken years to uncover myself
Years trying to remove, your …
Residue
Your residue
