Ride Away

Jim Garland is a great song writer from Georgia. He plays acoustic/country

style music most of the time. I know that he plays around Athens, Ga. alot

and is from Macon, I think. I hear he is now making his first full length

album that will come out later in the spring.

Lose at Love

- words and music by Jim Garland

Verse 1

Intro : hit bass G twice then strum once, repeat twice

Just the other day, some asked me about you

And I said that you were doin' fine.

I didn't bother to say that I ain't got a clue

And I spend most of my time

Wishin we were still together

And keepin in touch with more than just a smile

Pretendin that I'm feelin better

Though not once have we kissed in quite a while

Still thinkin' about you all the time

Through all the pain and strife

I'm holdin on to pieces of my own dear life

And that ain't right

You lose at love and your heart breaks

But if you fall in love, it's a risk you take

It ain't fair, . . . but it's true

And I want break down and wash away

Cuz all I got left is all I got to say

All the little lies, . . .about me and you.

Verse 2

The way the story goes

I am doin great, and we are still in love

Through the highs and lows

We are bound by fate, It's like a gift from God above

And every time we swear its over

You come runnin back to me

Swearin that you'll never love another

And freedom's not what you thought it would be

Still thinkin about you all the time

I'm 'bout to go insane,

Guilty goin crazy 'bout the things I claim

To be right

Chorus same except end with

. . . about me and you

Repeat Chorus
