Lyrics
"It's Been Too Long"
Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.
Standin’ in line at the free local’s keg
It’s Thursday night, and I ain’t too proud to beg
It’s bringin’ back all those memories
Back when we were young and wild and free
Dancin’ and a-carryin’ on, drinkin ‘ and a-singin’ along
And now they’re playin’ your favorite song, you know that one by Stevie Ray Vaughn..
It’s been too long, since I’ve seen your pretty face
It’s been too long, since I’ve been back in this place
It’s been too long, since I’ve heard your beautiful voice
It’s been too long, since I have had a choice
I forgot how happy I could be, when you were around
I’ve been livin’ in misery, since you’ve been gone
Watchin’ Blues Effect at the Sundance Saloon
Steppin’ out for a smoke and a-howlin’ at the moon
I’m doin’ all these things that we used to do
Nothing’s changed, but it’s not the same without you

This is about a place called the Sundance Saloon, a bar in Lionshead village in the town of Vail, Colorado where I used to live right above the bar when I was a ski instructor there. I also played the apres-ski gig there in an acoustic duo. It was my Cheers, where everybody knew my name. This is about hanging out there on Thurs. nights when they tapped a keg you could drink from for free if you were a "local" - meaning you worked and lived there (few people around were actually from there). There was a big deck in the back that overlooked the ski runs on the mountain where people would step out for a quick toke, and there was always a good blues band called Blues Effect playing there on those nights. Good times. | | Audio Sample | | |
