So, last week down in Louisiana, my pal Roger Dorethy and I began throwing some ideas back and forth. This song is the result...

Eddie Minyard - Guitar / Harp / Vocals

You’re an Addiction

I tried every bar on Bourbon Street

To get you out of my mind

I tried those Nashville nights, Those Vegas lights

And anyplace else I could find

I’ve been to every party town in America, baby

Flew to Amsterdam, too

But no matter what I try, no matter how high

I can’t get over you

You’re an addiction, baby

A heart-wrenching affliction, baby

You took that thrill away

Now I’m searching for it every day

I need an interdiction, baby

A love with some conviction, baby

A love that’s deep and true

Like I thought I had with you

<BREAK>

So I’ll keep spinnin’ around, from town to town

Spendin’ my money like a fool

But it’s a worthless chase, tryin to replace

That feelin that I got from you

It’s like I’m runnin on a treadmill, baby

Getting nowhere fast

Guess what they say is true, there ain’t no future

Livin in the past

You’re an addiction, baby

A heart-wrenching affliction, baby

You took that thrill away

Now I’m searching for it every day

I need an interdiction, baby

A love with some conviction, baby

A love that’s deep and true

Like I thought I had with you

I need an interdiction, baby

A love with some conviction, baby

A love that’s deep and true

Like I thought I had with you

A love that’s deep and true

Like I thought I had with you

ShannonAtkinson 2011-01-15	HOT!! love that 'country-train' soundin' harp in the bg ... cool little ditty y'all came up with, I'm addicted! -Sug
GrumpHarmony 2011-01-15	Cool song Eddie! A good write, some nice picking and a soulful vocal. Harp adds a lot. Nice work guys!
pnumos 2011-01-15	One fine write here! Lots of heart. Great job on working addiction, conviction, affliction, and interdiction into the storyline. The melody works the emotion of the lyics well. The harmonica in the background gives the feel of sorrow after the fact. Sorry for not being able to stop loving that which you know is not good for you. Real nice touch. Well done! All the best, Robin
newbeginnings 2011-01-15	Nice, nice play with words here guys...I love reading through a lyric the first time and having it all fit perfectly. One of my favs!
JamesCain 2011-01-15	Nice play on words Eddie. Love the double rhyme in a line. Can't go wrong with the harp. Nice James
jbthegeezer 2011-01-15	Cool song, I enjoyed my listen. Jerry
Russ 2011-01-16	Nice write and sang with conviction. The harp is perfect in the mix fading in and out. Nice track.
msdjunk 2011-01-16	Excellent song! Nice flow to the lyrics and sung well. For some reason I was expecting a breakout into a full band sound (guitar, bass, and drums) - but the soft picking on the guitar and the harp turns out perfect! A haunting sound. -Marc
RonnieG 2011-01-16	Enjoyed this FE. Some great lines in there Ronnie
rathole 2011-01-16	Eddie, I really like this! you 2 had some great ideas for this and the harp and passionate vocal make this shine--great writing!!!
cathead77 2011-01-16	Real cool, Eddie. I can hear Dr. Hook back in the day doing this.
mfrazier 2011-01-17	Strong lyrically and I really like the way you mixed the harp in the back, like the aftertaste of the mood of the song. Good solid vocal work. Nice clean guitar work as well. Good listen. Michael
Beeswing 2011-01-17	Wow! Great writing you two! Like Michael I love how you have the harp way back...almost like a memory...
LoanShark 2011-01-17	Very cool...love the feel with the guitar and hard. Nice
PamelaElaine 2011-01-18	Wow Eddie!! This is a sad lyric. The harps and guitar playing support your lyric. I hate the fact that love can end up being one sided. Trying to get over someone you love deeply is a sad thought. Enjoyed this collaboration. PamelaElaine
donnavalentine 2011-01-18	I really like this, guys! Some strong lyrics! Really well done!

LittleHippie 2011-01-18	great feel of heartfulness to this. The aching heart is present throughout, especially with the backdrop of the harp. well done!!
Ken_Damkier 2011-01-21	One of your greatest lyrics Eddie. And some of your best performances too. I love the harpsound and the way you play it folkish style. Good work brother. Ken
