A little history... 6 years ago, Tom and I did our first co-write. By pure coincidence, it was posted on March 4th - which it turns out is our birthday. BOTH of us! We have done a "birthday song" every year since. So, now... a little more (of our) history... I WANT YOU TO KNOW ME like jimmy i found florida at it's very best clean gulf waters, a loose lauderdale, a sleepy, slow key west then the rock'n'roll bars of new york and philly called my name i talked to movers and shakers and record men tryin' to fan that flame when country turned it's head towards a sound i knew i found myself headed there to take in that view spent years hanging with the best of the best in guitar town taking turns strumming our tales in a bluebird round i don't usually tell these stories i'm not one to live past glories they stay on the shelf i keep to myself i let the rainbow be you want to open up the mystery lift the curtian, know my history every road town and trail down to the smallest detail it might come slowly but i want you to know me west virginia to ohio and then on to chicago drinking in all the urban blues from a late night radio northern illinois to southern illinois then down to tennessee kept heading south until i found the country side of me hooked up down in florida with a hardcore working band nashville called and made their pitch but we didn't give a damn all those years opening up for big acts and touring stars made up for wasted weekend nights in rowdy roadhouse bars. repeat CHORUS we followed the music it's in our bones we did it all for a song and here we are when it's all said and done it lead us right where we belong repeat CHORUS ©2019 floyd jane and Tom Adams. floyd jane: vocals, harmony, production, mix Tom Adams: vocals, harmony, tele (rhythm and licks), pedal steel Janice Merritt: harmony (engineered by Bud Merritt) RealTracks in style: ~~519:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1771:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkMovinMuted Ev16 130 RealTracks in song: 1770:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkMovinChords Ev16 130 RealTracks in song: 2933:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking SongwriterFolkSlapQuinn Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 2635:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryBluesRockHigh Ev 110 RealTracks in song: 671:Organ, B3, Background Southern Ev 120 RealDrums in style: NashvilleSkip^03-a:SideStick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat As always, a HUGE thanks to Janice & Bud!!

Man, this has it all! Very engaging write, great story made even better 'cause it's real!
Vocals are wonderful and band is great too, nice hearing some licks from Tom in there. The mix is perfect, listened first through the monitors, then through the 'phones.
Happy birthday Floyd and Tom!

I knew this was coming from previous years,
wow, what a treat!
it might come slowly
but i want you to know me
I want to know about you two guys (without prying)
you're both super interesting, very talented, obviously veterans of the trade (pros)
(same goes for J&B)
spent years hanging with the best of the best in guitar town
taking turns strumming our tales in a bluebird round
great lines, they make me smile!
I hear Tom's fine guitar work, nice and tasteful
northern illinois to southern illinois then down to tennessee
kept heading south until i found the country side of me
love those lines
This is my new favorite song, Happy Birthday to you both!!!
Kenny

Hey there Floyd, I really enjoyed the overall tone of this. The arrangement is wonderful to the ears and the vibe is very appealing. That organ really helps piece it all together. Fantastic work on the vocals too. Keep it up!

Wow - you guys did an amazing job! Very engaging and nicely catchy, and has some real sincerity behind it. You can almost hear that it was fun to make. A great groove that got my toe tapping right away too, and the mixing job is professional and top notch also. You two should be proud - thanks for sharing

Wowser! Don't wait a year to write another!
Thanks for having a listen, Bob... I knew this was coming from previous years,
wow, what a treat!
it might come slowly
but i want you to know me
I want to know about you two guys (without prying)
you're both super interesting, very talented, obviously veterans of the trade (pros)
(same goes for J&B)
spent years hanging with the best of the best in guitar town
taking turns strumming our tales in a bluebird round
great lines, they make me smile!
I hear Tom's fine guitar work, nice and tasteful
northern illinois to southern illinois then down to tennessee
kept heading south until i found the country side of me
love those lines
This is my new favorite song, Happy Birthday to you both!!!
Kenny
