20 YEARS HERE
words/music by Cathryn Beeks 2019
When I was a young girl I had a dream
To sing with the band be part of a scene
I left California went to Wyoming
Jacksonville, Cleveland, I kept going
Ended up in San Diego
20 years here goes by in the blink of an eye
I learned who I was and what I wasn’t
Found the perfect man made him my husband
we settled down had a few parties
at that old house out in East County
made our way in San Diego
20 years here but I swear it don't feel that long
this city is beautiful
but it's all about you, you know
All of your music, I aint gonna lose it
taking you all along, I’m gonna share your songs
20 years here I know most of the words to your songs
20 years here and I love to sing along
I had a good life here, I made some music
made some good friends, they came and went
I had a good job, I made myself useful
a few disappointments if I’m being truthful
shed some tears in San Diego
20 years here and I’m finally letting it go
20 years here and only love fills my soul
20 years here I'll be back before you know
Stark, folk-derived songs built on brittle acoustic guitars that conjure the image of a fire burning in the distance on a dark night. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 8, 2022
