Better Days

I've been walking down the same road Hoping to arrive at somewhere new.
I've been driving down these long roads, recognize nothing in you.
Oh my better days
are left behind, hung to dry, tossed aside and behind me
behind me.
I smoked my last cigarette then, but I bummed a few today.
My last sip of sweet old bourbon, at least (for now) until I'm paid
Oh my better days
are left behind, hung to dry, tossed aside and behind me
behind me.
Oh the circle wars are unending.
Seems like yesterday I called you my life.
But now I know how it all goes for you and me, on these sleepless nights.
We just talk around in circles trying to prove who's wrong and right.
Now the good times are all but faded, and we drink to break the fight.
Oh my better days
are left behind, hung to dry, tossed aside and behind me
behind me.
I've been walking down the same road
Hoping it leads me back to you.
(Franklyn Woods - Dec 2023)

Simple Solitary Man

You’re not the type to harbor your gold,
You’re not the type to put on a show,
You’re not in to boasting, You keep it your own.
You’re not the kind that they knew before
No riches or basking, You’ve figured it out
You’re not the type, to be speaking out
You’re not a guy to wish on a star
You’re not a guy to take it too far
You’re not into dreaming, it’s a waste of your time
You’re not much for leaving. The homestead is fine
No riches or basking, no wanting for more
You’re not the type to settle the score
No riches or basking, You’re strong in your plan
You’re just a kind and simple solitary man

Franklyn Woods Abbotsford, British Columbia
"Born and raised where city meets country, Franklyn Woods finds inspiration for his emotive songs in the vast fields of the
Fraser Valley, and the train-tracks and alleys lining the core of his small-town home, Abbotsford, BC. Driven by his passion for writing and making music, Woods' soft-spoken, “alternative country” style blurs the edge between downhome and downtown..."
