Drifter Excerpt

My upcoming rocker novel, Drifter, contains several originals songs that I either wrote for the book, or that were languishing on my hard drive.

Here is You've Got You by Eden Winters, as sung by the band Trickster.



You don’t need me

You don’t need anyone

You’ve got you

You’ve got you



Lovers come and lovers go,

Taking all that they can get

Leave you bruised and leave you bleeding

Til you wish you’d never met



They sink their claws into your ego

leave you empty, full of doubt

With deceitfulness and brutal lies

They twist and turn you inside out



You don’t need me

You don’t need anyone

You’ve got you

You’ve got you



Better keep yourself around you

Better to walk this world alone

Than know ecstasy of one moment

The next spent cut right to the bone



They promise much, and give so little

Take, take, take, is all they do

Then leave you standing there with nothing

You don’t need them, you’ve got you.



Walk away, don’t look back,

You won’t need them, never do,

Head held high and eyes wide open,

You need no one, you’ve got you



Look for Drifter to release from Rocky Ridge Books on July 7. I'll post more as the day grows closer.
