Lies Across Town
©Jerry Axson

I’m out with some friends tonight,
no, I don’t want to be alone -
they take me places I don’t belong,
and I’m thinking - at least this aint’ home,
between the smoke and the drink and the noise,
there’s a gentle touch of a soft hand,
tonight I’m going to lose my way -
and tomorrow I will understand,

What lies across town -
is a good woman who cries herself to sleep,
what lies across town -
is a situation I’ve gotten myself in too deep,
what lies across town -
is a world of hurt like I aint’ never known before,
what lies across town -
is a place I called home now it’s a changed lock on a big wooden door...

and you’re standing on the other side,
I can feel your little heart break,
and if I could I would tell you baby,
let’s stay together for something or somebody’s sake,
but it’s all I can do to hold on to,
promises we made in the past,
if you felt like me you would just let it be,
you’d cut me loose so fast,

Ooo, Baby - just let it be...
I’m no good for you - and you’re not the one for me...
Rise and take this day - shake off the night...
What lies across town - just aint’ worth the fight...

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
