about

This song I originally composed for the latest King Kobra record but ended up keeping it for myself. I enlisted lyric help from Emily Eyre to see where it'd go. She said it reminded her of driving a car so she wrote lyrics about that. I morphed the lyric Emily had to keeping it about driving a car but with a bit of sexual inuendo. I ended up doing a re-write on the lyrics as I thought they were good but felt maybe it should go somewhere else. I sang that version down and the one I kept and played it to a circle of people for feedback. It was a close call but most went for this version. Maybe someday I'll release the other version. I had the chorus of "Why Not" before I gave to Emily and kept it thru both versions. The inspiration for the new lyric was Jack Russell circa 1987. I wrote it about how I envisioned Jack after the 1987 release "Once Bitten" came out and when he was on top of the world. The lyric really could be about anyone who figures "Why Not" go for my dreams.... The song is dedicated to Jack

lyrics

Ridin in to danger
grin on my chin
hit em fast hit em hard
I'm in to win
I found my purpose,
I'll get it while I can
I rise up and figure out, I'm in command I am inspired
got this on my brain it's moving thru my veins as I go higher
I leave all sorrow and regret and live the moment why not?

Why Not? Why Not? Why Not?

Runnin in to road blocks
that I bust thru
I kick down every door
that I come to
So leave reluctance
and come with me
cause when it comes to livin life, I'm livin free I am inspired
Got you on my brain, your moving thru my veins
As I go higher, I leave all sorrow and regret and live the moment why not?

Why Not ? Why Not? Why Not?

I'm inspired
got you on my brain, your moving thru my veins
go higher, leave your rage and regret and live the moment why not?

Why Not? Why Not? Don't get lost Why Not?
Why Not
