On The Rocks
Grieves Lyrics
I ain’t no scholar, I don’t write no books
I don’t spend my money on the last girl honey
'Cause she hates my guts.
I paid my rent late, so my landlord's angry
And all this shit keeps piling up and trying to hang me.
I Give my love in on the run, on the run, on the run
So don’t you try to slow me down and walk around yeah
Sick of trying to strum along with your love song
So leave me leave me here to pour another drink on the rocks
Down on to the ground until your crawling on the gravel like a regular guy.
All, all of this will hold you down on to the ground
Until your drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye.
I ain’t got no savior, I ain’t got no time,
I know I'm stuck with a problem that will come through and swallow up my last dime.
All I wanted was some peace and quiet, to take me out of here
Before I start a riot.
Lost my reason, I done lost my way
I done sat here for hours and heard all the songs in the jukebox plays
So keep your sunny days away from here
And I'll pour the liquor down and smile while I say.
Life’s been on the rocks I’ve taken
My last shot at holding on to
Life’s been on the rock’s I’ve taken
My last shot at holding on to
All of this will hold you
Down on to the ground until your crawling on the gravel like a regular guy.
All, all of this will hold you down on to the ground
Until your drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye.

Having spent nearly two years on the road touring in support of 88 Keys and Counting,
The end of 2008 saw Grieves enlisting the help of friend and collaborator Budo to co-produce Together/Apart bringing his signature swiss-army knife, multi-instrumental backdrop to Grieves' hauntingly poignant narrative. The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from their live performances.

The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from their live performances. The recording process began to shadow the theme of the album as it saw tracks recorded in Colorado and Washington in addition to New York, infusing it with a mixture of regional influences while still maintaining a cohesive sound. As the album neared completion the title took on a double meaning for Grieves as he explored new subject matter in the absence of trust, refuge in addiction, acceptance and honesty in self-reflection, and trying to find his place in the world without forgetting his roots.

Lyrics:
I ain’t no scholar, I don’t write no books
I done spent my money on my last girl honey and she hates my guts
I paid my rent late, so my landlord's angry
And all this shit keeps piling up and tryin' to hang me
I get my lovin' on the run (on the run)
So don’t you try to slow me down and walk around it
Sick of tryin' to strum along, wit yo' love song
So leave me here to pour another drink on the rocks
[Hook: Grieves]
Oh, all of this will hold you, down onto the ground
Until you're crawling on the gravel like a regular guy
Oh, all of this will hold you, down onto the ground
Until you're drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye
[Verse 2: Grieves]
I ain’t got no savior, I ain’t got no time
I know I'm stuck with a problem that'll come through and swallow up my last dime
All I wanted was some peace and quiet
To take me out of here before I start a riot
Lost my reason; I done lost my way
I done sat here for hours and heard all the songs that the jukebox plays
So keep your sunny days away from here and I'll
Pour the liquor down
And smile while I say
Life’s been on the rocks I’ve taken
My last shot at holding on to
Life’s been on the rocks I’ve taken
My last shot at holding on to
(All of, all of, all of)
[Hook]
Oh, all of this will hold you, down onto the ground
Until you're crawling on the gravel like a regular guy
Oh, all of this will hold you, down onto the ground
Until you're drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye
