chloekv Dondero continues to be among my top 3 lyricists/songwriters of all time. I love everything this man produces and wish he got the recognition he deserves. Hard to pick just one song I love and I look everforward to the next bit of anything Dondero puts out.

dronzani83 There aren't a lot of songwriters out there as reliably good as David Dondero. Capitol Buildings Bleed is quintessential Dondero. Great lyrics. Distinctive guitar playing. And he sings with a ton of emotion. Favorite track: Capitol Buildings Bleed.

Summer’s here and the water’s warm There’s an afternoon thunderstorm Now the night time it’s cooling down Go to the beach and then we’ll go to town In the summertime we’ll live again In the summertime we’ll all be friends All the summers of the loving minds All the summers of the suns will shine We will listen to our favorite song Better hurry up it won’t be long ‘Til we’re surfin’ in the ocean waves Sun’s gonna come we’re gonna all be saved In the summertime we’ll live again In the summertime we’ll all be friends All the summers of the loving minds All the summers of the suns will shine

It’s coming full circle Your own Siddhartha Chased your tail for years All around the country Her ghost is on the train A vapor in the rain You faced, you failed, you fear Another disappointment Listen what your momma said You drive around until you’re dead You’re gonna go and drive yourself crazy Scattered is a family Shattered by the tragedy Why you gotta drive yourself crazy The pattern of the carpet Flaking of the paint Sliver of the moon Candle of a saint The traffic on the beltway Is dripping through the rainy day Capitol building bleed Doling out the violence Listen what your momma say You drive around until your dead You’re gonna go and drive yourself crazy Shattered is a family Scattered by the tragedy But why you gotta drive yourself crazy? It’s coming full circle Your own Siddhartha Chased your tail for years All around the country

You got problems I’ve got problems too And you know i don’t know what to do now All i know is you are in you Maybe you could just try something new See the snow on the tree Oh my god this is beauty You’ve got love in you Here’s to loving you I regret things i had done too I have messed up my life just like you I had thought to end it all too I have been so far gone drunk and blue I was wrong now i know it Here’s a song now to show it True to loving you Here’s to loving you Like the snow on the tree Melt away my dear beauty I don’t know about it I’m not sure about it All i know is it’s all in confusion I am nothing She is something A foundation Under my delusion See the snow on the tree Melt away my dear beauty You got love in you Here’s to loving you Like the snow on the tree

Rock Bottom 04:16
When you hit rock bottom And you can’t find a friend Cause everything you’ve done Left you standing with no one Then you’ll know Yeah you’ll know You hit rock bottom I thought that i was someone Believed what they had said I thought that i was good But i misunderstood But now i know Yes i know I hit rock bottom I bit the hand that fed me And i let the family down I was full of envy Let it get the best of me But now i know Yes i know I hit rock bottom Gambling is a sickness That’s buried in my brain When i start to lose I double up and hit the booze Then i know Yes i know I hit rock bottom I had a little money And i thought i needed more I thought i could parlay Triple up and save the day But now i know Yeah i know I hit rock bottom There is a deep depression And it’s coming with the snow It’ll settle in your bones And make you feel so all alone It’ll let you know It’ll make you know You hit rock bottom So when you hit rock bottom And you can’t find a friend Cause everything you’ve done Left you standing with no one Then you’ll know You’ll truly know You hit rock bottom

Bacon, Eggs & Beer You know my baby’s here Got everything i need out of life Everything i need out of life Got a garden out back And it’s chock full of leafy green A ritual attack on a sadness That haunts my dream Bacon, Eggs & Beer You know the coast got clear The clouds had paddled out to sea Leave behind tranquility Got a room full of records That you left behind when you died A thousand golden platters And my ears are open wide Bacon, Eggs & Wine The Grand Canyon is mine A came in with the snow in the night Awoken to it draped in white But it won’t be long Before it melts away with the dawn It won’t be long before it fades with the words of the song

What kinda love is it? Knock me down and make me feel like shit What kinda love is it? When you mess my mind and make me feel like dying What kinda love is it? Don’t seem like no love at all Don’t seem like no love at all Love’s s’posed to make you feel tall Not like, the miniature version of small What kinda love are you? You beat the heart up all black and blue What kinda love are you? You lied when you told me you were overdue What kinda love are you? An emotional vampire Drama queen of the empire Claws are always out Scratching at the surface of your own self doubt What kinda love it was Over and done yeah now just because What kinda love it was The audience it gets no applause What kinda love it was Don’t seem like no love at all Don’t seem like no love at all Love’s s’posed to make you feel tall Not like, the miniature version of small What kinda love is it?

I walked the line But you didn’t stand by your man You did not stand by your man I’m your man I don’t care if your momma Went to prison for crack Or if your dad’s the male stripper At the seafood shack Or if your grandpa was the sheriff But a criminal too I only care for you Only you I don’t want to be living out A country cliche I don’t want a good loving To be crumbling away I don’t want to be lonesome And sad everyday But i’m lonesome and sad Everyday Everyday It’s like a dead armadillo On the side of the road It’s like a knife cut the pillow And let the feathers all blow Ravens fly in a circle Above the carcass below It’s another drunk dead In the snow Don’t you know I walked the line But you didn’t stand by your man You do not stand by your man I’m your man

If heaven is full Full of people like you I don’t want to go Be ‘round people like you For all eternity Would seem like hell to me If heaven is full I don’t wanna go True it’s in the proof It’s in the numbers Proof, it’s in the proof Within the nature True that god is math That god is math That god is math Religious fanatic Of different faith and creed Zealous dogmatic Pulling a card from infinity The church of Star Wars The greatest story wins Around the fire Put faith in the marketing True it’s in the proof It’s in the numbers Truth, it’s in the truth It’s in the nature Truth it’s in the proof The Fibonacci Truth is in the proof That god is math But what is love? An irrational number? If heaven is full Full of angels like you I don’t want to go Be ‘round vapors like you For all eternity Would seem like hell to me If heaven is full I don’t want to go

If you don’t try Maybe i Could try to Speak to you But the door slammed shut And i know why I apologized It was denied I tried to fix this thing That i did Least i tried Just your son A drunk like you Do you see yourself In everything i do? My bio- Illogical Father Well i bother Though i never Really meant That much to you Some things in this life You just can’t get over Even when You get A whole lot older You said You did your job Get over it But i can’t forget How could you Expect me to? I was just a kid You wrote me off My sister too I’m just like you Your drunk dumb son Gonna change myself From everything you’ve ever done My bio- Illogical Father Well, i bother Though i never Really meant Shit to you My bio- Illogical Father
