Bare Feet In The Street

[Nelson]

The insanity of exercising the same poor judgement and expecting a different result, often leaves us smiling awkwardly at fire flies and walking backwards, "Bare Feet In The Street"

Bare Feet In The Street
by
Misternelson

Verse
It's 3 in the morning and I can't sleep
There's nothing to see on this old TV.
I just set here, staring at the screen.
It was another night out, wild as can be.
But ended up with the same old 3,
Loneliness, a stranger and me.
Chorus
I told myself time and time again,
This is no life... can't you understand.
A promise made, then broken again.
Another stranger is in my bed.
I gotta go, I won't turn around,
I started walking but I'm running, now.
And the only sound or sights to see,
Are the other lost souls, the other lost souls,  
the other lost souls running bare feet in the street.

Verse
You gave your heart, I gave my word.
I broke it again and you kicked me to the curb.
Now, dry your eyes because I don't deserve your tears.
It's the price I pay, for fooling around,
I had your love but look what I'm left with, now.
Loneliness strangers and me.
Chorus
I told myself time and time again,
This is no life... can't you understand.
Promises made, then broken again,
another stranger, in my bed.
I gotta go, I won't turn around,
I started walking but I'm running, now.
And the only sound or sights to see,
Are the other lost souls running bare feet in the street.

[Hook]

Great song Nelson. That chorus kicks ass, such complex layers, very cool lyrics, I really dig this one brother! Love how you sing "I don't deserve you tears"!
Rock On!

[Redler]

Pure Nelson classic!! Loved the music from the first note. Melodic and touching lyrics. Top class lead guitar additions!

Your first version of this song is more rude and naked. You put quite a bit of sophistication on this one. I am sure they are both great on their own terms, but if I'm allowed to chose, I like the first most. Perhaps because I've listened to it a few times and I am already used to it. I have to listen to this second version more times.

Terrific stuff, great skill involved, playing and production, loved the listen as always!

[Jarle]

A beautiful song Nelson your vocal excellent as always and i really love that acoustic...excellent

[Tangled Wires]

Fantastic song Nelson, and love the way the chorus picks up the pace and creates a really nice dynamic. The acoustic runs throughout the song are perfectly played and placed and combine perfectly in the choruses with that plodding bassline, piano and acoustic strumming.

Your vocal is so consistent on each an every song and the harmonies in the choruses here have a real "wow" factor.

Your music deserves a much wider audience!

fabulous, i want your voice.

Wowzzzer Nelson - you knocked it out the park and then some. I could listen to you voice all day, you have 'that' touch and timing - brill.
