Biography:
In mid-70s Cleveland, singer-songwriter and current radio DJ Michael Stanley formed the heartland rock group Michael Stanley Band. The band recorded albums through the late 70s and early 80s while touring constantly across the American Midwest. After the group folded, Stanley has since worked as a solo artist. His highest charting singles with the Michael Stanley Band were "He Can't Love You" (a #33 hit) in 1980 and "My Town" in 1983 (a #39 hit), which both got decent nationwide airplay. Tune "Lover" is also a fan favorite.

Too long between rides
A Aadd11 A Aadd11
Too long between homes again
D A Aadd11 A Aadd11
Too lo-ong without someone by my side

And Lord, there's something 'bout a sad song

that helps to ease the pain...

Here I am, Lord, just singing up a storm

A Aadd11 A Aadd11
Too much going down today
D A Aadd11 A Aadd11
just can't take it in
A Aadd11 A Aadd11
Too much running 'round today
D A Aadd11 A Aadd11
can't tell you where I've been
D A
Seems that just like singing in the only thing to do
D A
only thing to help me pass the time
D A
Songs are just like ladies--can't forget them when you're through

and they're always on your mind...

Too few stop to pass the time

Guess that's how it goes
A Aadd11 A Aadd11
So sure that there's much more than this
D A Aadd11 A Aadd11
when really no one knows

And easing into midnight

as the bitters pass around
D A
crying in my beer

Singing someone else's troubles helps to ease your own

Goodnight, Irene, my dear...
