The third verse was what I came up with first, before I found my theme. It's really extra. Fun prompt.

Lyrics
Keep It In The Pocket
Keep it in the pocket But close to the edge Lock it in the socket No need to hedge
Ch Hold tight Dimming the light Keep it in the pocket All night
Still in the pocket Listen to it run It'll break your fall If it all comes undone
[Ch] There goes the light
If you break out and run To the edge of the sun You still have a chance To get it all done.
[Ch] We can do without the light

Truly a musician's anthem -- enjoyed this, esp. the smooth shift into the chorus and how everything flows so well thru the whole song.

Great groove, straight ahead a great song. I"ve got a D-15 that I've yet to use this year. Sound great. Fantastic skirmish

Nice and upbeat and quite a jaunty number all together. I like the way you sneak some cool riffs in there too Good job

Rant enjoy the chorus lyrics subtly change as the song progresses. Great upbeat piece that has me wondering what our who’s in the pocket?
