Mike was a very close guitar playing friend. We spent many nights jamming at his house on Skeeter Lane.
Mike passed away at a young 47 years.
Lyrics
Skeeter Lane
I once jammed with this ole boy named Mike
We’d sing and pick guitars all the time
Dreamed about seein’ our names in lights
How I miss those Saturday nights
Down on Skeeter Lane – That’s where we found our fame
Nobody knows our names – ‘Cept down on Skeeter Lane
Well Mike got married and things changed a bit
Had to pay his bills between raisin’ kids
Over the years our time started to slip
Didn’t go far, but we had a good trip
Down on Skeeter Lane – That’s where we found our fame
Nobody knows our names – ‘Cept down on Skeeter Lane
(lead break)
You never know what the good Lord has in store
I don’t go down that dirt road no more
My buddy Mike left us one summer morn
Made us all rich even though he was poor
Down on Skeeter Lane – That’s where we found our fame
Nobody knows our names – ‘Cept down on Skeeter Lane
Way down…
Got down…
Tore down…
Get down… Get down!
