Dust starts to settle
And i read out all the petals
I know

That i'm really
On you're mind
Start thinking crazy
And i

Think you can save me
I know
I know
That its just
All in my mind
Do you think that
You can come Out and
Save me
I can't stop thinking if
You on the daily
Been messing with girls
That fuck up my head
I think that i need a lady
Ooooooo

No cap no lie
Trust me

No cap no lie
Trust me you can't ever hide
Oooo ohhh

Been feeling so troubled

So come here
On the double
I can not wait
No i cant not sleep
Been drowning
Myself
In the liquor

And i will lift you up
As long you let me
Cause i know that you will never
Regret me
And i know that you
Will never forget me

Ooooo ohhh
Oh come
Save me
Same me
Same me
Ohh ohh
Whooo

Well, I never was one for trouble
But I reckon it was for me
When I was just a little boy
Pap put me on his knee
And he said, "Dear son, steer clearly
On the high road you should stay
'Cause down there in them valleys, boy
Them detour make ya stray"
He said, "Don't waste tomorrow on today's idle time
It's hard time living on the backroads of your mind"
On the backroads of my mind
Where the turns are mostly blind
Reckoning by wrote and memory
Well, they don't been deducted and lately you're in decline
It's hard time living on the backroads of my mind
Now the years flew by so swiftly
And I can't say they was kind
The old home and my family
I left it all behind
For a life of hopeful fortune
On the highways I did grow
But like so many dead-end roads
They left me all alone
I ain't ne'er been to Jackson
Where trouble's so easy to find
I mourned my fair share here on the backroads of my mind
On the backroads of my mind
Where the turns are mostly blind
Reckoning by wrote and memory
Well, they don't been deducted and lately you're in decline
It's hard time living on the backroads of my mind
On the backroads of my mind
Where the turns are mostly blind
Reckoning by wrote and memory
Well, they don't been deducted and lately you're in decline
It's hard time living on the backroads of my mind
Yes, it's hard time living on the backroads of my mind

This is great! My ex-wife and I ran into him at Wegman's grocery in Ithaca, NY. It was 2003 or 2004. We drove from Detroit to Niagara Falls for the night, then to Ithaca for my cousin's wedding. I told my wife, "I should look Greg Graffin up in the phone book. I think he teaches here or is working on his PhD here." We both chuckled at my nonsensical statement...Twenty minutes in Ithaca, and we were hungry, and since we were both vegan, went to Wegman's because of their great vegan/vege hot bar. We sat down and I saw a nerdy middle-aged guy sitting at a nearby table, along with a cute 21 year old chick. I said to my wife, "that guy looks JUST like Greg Graffin!!!" Nah, it couldn't be! I was just talking about looking him up a few hours ago! I couldn't eat and kept looking at him & the cute chick. Finally my wife said, "just go up and ask him if he's Greg from BR!" As they were getting up from eating, I approached him. "Excuse me, are you Greg Graffin from BAD RELIGION??" He said, "why yes, I am Greg Graffin." Holy shit! "Dude, your music & lyrics changed my life and help mold who I am today!!" He said, "thank you. That means a lot to hear that." Then I said (because I just had to!) "why haven't you re-released "Into the Unknown"?? And will you EVER re=release it?!" He chuckled and said, "you can find it easy enough on the internet. But maybe when BAD RELIGION stops recording new music, we'll formally re-release it." I told him I've had a crappy quality found online for a few years now.... He was the nicest guy and I'm glad I talked to him!!! Been a fan since 1986!!

Okay lad, I officially envy you right now. ;-)
Because as a European from Austria, my chance to just casually run into Greg Graffin and the other BR blokes by chance is not even close to, but exactly zero.
On the other hand, I think it would be nice to just have a nice casual chat with them about everyday life or whatever over a brew or a pint, because for the last three decades, I suppose the lads from BR did have way more than their fair share of chats with fans who told them how godlike they are.
So they might just enjoy if people would prefer a nice craic because contrary to some rumours, band members in general still aren't unearthly gods but just humans who might enjoy a healthy dose of not always having to be famous now and then.
So... I sense that you and Greg got along well - and that's the only thing that counts in the end, innit? :-)

You're lucky he was nice to you in regards to "Unknown". I met Gene Simmons at an in-store in 2003 and made the mistake of complementing him on an album I luv but he considered a mis-step :"The Elder" (1981). DAMN! You shouldda seen the dirty look he gave me- and he wasn't even wearing his demon make-up!

I met him once outside of a BR show at Bogart's in Cincinnati, OH and you're right.....he's the nicest man ever.

I love this man so much

I consider him to be one of the most talented musician's & song writers of today. I can barely put into words how Bad Religion and Graffins solo work have helped carry me through the darkest parts of my life
Gabriel Mazuca
I'm really impressed with his solo work, truly a brilliant lyricist and musician

Beautifully written songs! So good to hear his voice again, in a different context. Well done Doctor Greg!
