Album: Go Big or Go Home | Download: | Lyrics:
I come from a long line of barstool companions
Tell your story man have I got one for you
Life’s too short for silence
I may be right, I may be wrong
But no story ever fell on deaf ears
That had a bottle to help it along

I come from a long line of higher education
The higher I get the more my lesson gets learned
And now, now that she’d gone
I can stay out all night long
So tonight, the drinks are on me

Nevermind the place is empty
Nevermind the clock striking three
The sun rising over the city
It’s a sight you really ought to see
So fire up that jukebox
Mix the drinks up strong
She may not be here with me
But I still love that song

I come from a long line of late night walkers
Flashing neon is a siren to my soul
And at home the clock ticks like a gong
So I’ll stay out all night long
And say tonight, the drinks are on me

Bridge

I come from a long line of self-made men
Everything I got, brother I paid for in spades
I ain’t made out of money
But if I was I share the wealth
If a man’s honest with strangers
You can bet he’s honest with himself

I come from a long line of closet gamblers
Roulette wheel eyes and a crapshoot smile
And the years when winning was my style
They all come back to me for a little while
When I say tonight, the drinks are on me

And my real friends they never run away
And they smile, especially when I say
That tonight, the drinks are on me

Triple-threat songwriter-musician-producer Paul Mark has built a top-drawer original song catalog that tugs on the ears of the literary as well as the liquidated. Embracing the Americana/Roots spectrum with a relentlessly original take on blues, rock, soul, country, surf, cabaret, R'nB, and old-timey sounds, Mark combines a striking lyrical edge with an encyclopedic facility with American roots music.
Mark is best known for unique songwriting and for the raucous barroom sounds of his urban blues/roots rock ensemble, the Van Dorens, a revolving-door collective of dedicated musicians and production collaborators.. His originals, such as "When God Finds the Time", "Fritos, BBQ and Scotch", "I'm Going Blind", "One More Coat of Paint", "How Do the Blind Become So Famous?" and "The Drinks are On Me" take on traditional genres and weave them into contemporary, vital music.
In his instrumental roots guitar CDs titled "Roadside Americana" and "Mirage Cartography", Mark pays quiet homage to country blues greats such as Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt and Rev. Gary Davis, as well as next generation influences including John Fahey and Leo Kottke.
Most frequent among his session collaborators is the Grammy-winning Memphis producer/engineer Jeff Powell. Mark's created albums with Grammy-winning producers Jim Gaines, Terry Manning and the late John Hampton.
Mark is principal owner of Radiation Records Inc. and its publishing affiliate Last Warning Music. Read More of the official website:
