Got something to tell you babe, I’ll tell you straight I went to work today, found out today was my last day I can’t believe it happened, let me tell you exactly how it happened Had lunch with the big guy and the big guy said, We got to cut something, we got to cut something My head grew heavy and my hands got hot Next thing I know I’m out here in the parking lot And I’m talking to you on the telephone, baby And you’re telling me to come on home You work your whole life tryin’ to build up something Then along comes a stiff wind and knocks it down to nothing I didn’t lose my job, my job was taken from me There’s a difference, you know what I mean I didn’t lose my job, my job lost me They tried to tell me, Just watch your back they said. And I said, how am I supposed to watch my back and still see where I’m going? Hey buddy, just don’t say we didn’t warn you Be tough for a while but I think we can make it We got the love, the kind to take us To the other side of the difficult water, take us to the other side ‘Cause when you look at me that way and you call my name I know nothing’s gonna stand in our way I didn’t lose my job, my job was taken from me There’s a difference, what’s the difference, I’m a free man! I didn’t lose my job, my job lost me So long, goodbye, good luck, see you later

about

John Dodge Portland, Oregon

Folk-rock-classical-jazz. That’s my answer to “What kind of music do you play?” Considering the dozen states I’ve called home, it’s not surprising that my styles range as widely as my travels. But rather than try to label the sound—because everybody has a different idea (Americana/roots/urban folk pop/indie acoustic), I just go for three qualities in my music: it’s rhythmic, melodic and memorable. ... more
