lyrics
Living On The Outside (J. A. Mills)
Verse 1
I’m on the outside, looking in
A good man going bad, drinking from the rivers of sin
Haunted by the things I’ve done and what I might become
Oh, living on the outside, Lord, looking in
Verse 2
Ridin’ shotgun in the shadows, lives the man I use to be
Seduced by pleasures, that stripped me of my dignity
Stone-blind, fooling myself, can’t blame nobody else
Oh Lord, living on the outside, looking in
Verse 3
My woman’s at home, the children are warm and safe
She’s curled up in bed, wiping tears from her face
Tired of being my crutch, Lord I miss her lovin’ touch
Living on the outside, lookin’ in
Solo
Verse 4
Wounded and shaken, tormented by my dreams
Oh, the man in the mirror, silently screams
For an answer to a prayer, so tired of playing soltaire
Oh Lord, living on the outside
vamp out on intro riff
I don’t want to be on the outside, looking in
People I’m living on the outside
One day the sun’s gonna shine, Shine down on me and mine
Brighter days will surely come, everybody else is having fun,
I’m on the outside, Lookin’ in

Earthy, jammy progressive rock with thick, chewy guitars and tasty organs. The music is loose and drawn out but rarely loses itself. Just a really vibin' listen. impressivelad
Cerebral palsy curbed his ability to play guitar the conventional way, so Nagoda learned double slide, this is his debut LP.
