Losing Ground
© 2017 Kenny Leverett

Wake up California cause the sun is going down
But the sky it is not falling look around
Way down in the valleys and on the mountains high
So many counting on you, forget your alibis

Ooh Ooh look around
Cause you’re losing ground

Your suitors have stopped calling
Hollywood is gone
Big deals done in Texas
What went wrong
Wake up California cause the sun is going down
Look around

Ooh Ooh look around
Cause you’re losing ground

Broken down on that stretch of road
Trying to carry a heavier load
Than you could bear
Sometimes change is hard to face
Gotta get back up again
Get in the race

Wake up California cause the sun is going down
But the sky it is not falling look around
Way down in the valleys and on the mountains high
So many counting on you, forget your alibis

Ooh Ooh look around
Cause you’re losing ground

Wake up California cause the sun is going down
And you’re losing ground
Wake up California cause the sun is going down
Look around

Great guitar work in the intro, and I really liked the driving bass, it gave the song punch.

All around, this is really well done.

Kenny,

Excellent! A great listen.

Terrific production and arrangement. The opening - nice!... you guitar work (here and throughout) is really well done. The BAND is perfect. Everything at the right level (including drums). The longer leads could come up (volume) just a bit.

Your vocals are stunning. Nice harmony ooohhs...

Man! this is GOOD!

Kenny,
Such a great band feel on this excellent, moody song and your guitar is killer - but the standout for me is your vocal.Grabs the attention from the first line and doesn`t let up.
One of your best.

Kennny, this is very good! Very good vocals, and very professional use of the real tracks. Sort of a Joe Walsh thing.
