\"Looking<\/p>\n

It was a stormy afternoon on the rain spattered patio of a rundown little motel north of Ensenada in 1981. The ocean raged against the rocks just beyond the edge of the unpainted concrete patio.<\/p>\n

I’d pulled a plain wooden chair out of the room onto the slab and I sat there, a six pack of Bohemia or maybe Negra Modelo in a sack next to the chair and a bottle of Sauza Extra next to it.<\/p>\n

Sea spray mixed with rain coated me and my guitar — a $20 special I’d picked up on an earlier trip — but how often do you get to write songs with the ocean crashing literally at your feet and the sky roiling like a time lapse movie. I wrote three songs that afternoon. Two of them were pretty good, as my songs go. I had just broken up with a girl I’d gone with for nearly 3 years, so I had a lot of songrwiting energy, I guess.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, though I wrote it a quarter century ago, there’s never really been a proper recording. I decided to do something about that, but these things are never a direct path from point a to point b for me. This rough demo is sort of a snapshot along the way. What do I<\/span> like in it? The snare brush. I think that’s pretty cool. That’s about the only thing I’d come close to keeping, at this point.<\/p>\n\n

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE<\/b><\/p>\n

Some people say
\nLove is a game
\nbut I’m telling you now that I wasn’t playing
\nwhen I fell in love with you<\/p>\n

Here I go again
\nLooking for reasons where there aren’t any reasons
\nHere I go again
\nlooking for trouble… I’m already in trouble<\/i><\/p>\n

That day in my car
\ndon’t say you don’t know
\nYou held me so close
\nbegging me to let go
\nI told myself you were just confused<\/p>\n

Here I go again . . .
\n<\/i>
\nYou always said
\nthat it was fate
\nI’m telling you now
\nthat I was framed
\nwhen I fell in love with you<\/p>\n

Here I go again . . .<\/i><\/p>\n

A dog barks
\nthe wind howls through the night
\nI whisper your name and
\nstare in the fire
\nI can’ keep myself from calling out to you<\/p>\n

Here I go again <\/i>
\nLooking for reasons where there aren’t any reasons <\/i>
\nHere I go again <\/i>
\nlooking for trouble… I’m already in trouble<\/i><\/p>\n
