about

Finger-snapping, toe-tapping, Django Reinhardt-esque swing a la 30’s Paris, punctuated by American roots fiddle, mandolin, and 4-part 40s-style harmonies.

lyrics

Looking For a Song
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

Well, I don’t want to waste another day
But I got so many people standing in my way
And some folks think I’m dreaming my life away
But I don’t listen to anything they say

I’m thinking pretty hard about breaking out
And leaving’s on my mind there aint no doubt
It seems I’ve played this town for far too long
So I guess I’ll just go looking for a song

Now friends don’t get me wrong
I don’t feel that I belong
So I’ll be looking for that song
Looking for a song---

As a boy some people called me kind of bold
For not doing all the things that I was told
Now people tell me that I’m getting old
And it’s nine to five or you’ll be sleeping in the cold

Well, you can disagree with what I say
And you can spend your life miles away
And I won’t bother sending you that song
‘Cause you knew I was a rambler all along
You knew I was a rambler all along (Yes you did Honey)
You knew I was a rambler all along
