Left the Ring in the Jar

from Shadow by Steve Blaque

about

Left the Ring in the Jar was lyrically written perhaps middle of 2019 while i was working at a job i used to do. I think it was a fantasy to set up escaping the work i was doing and just wanting to be 'free' to wander and forget about the nonsense i had to deal with. in this respect the letter to the guy's wife is a metaphor for quitting work and just rolling ....issues of cats and sandwiches the last rites of departure. the whole thing a farcical analysis of life that we're all encumbered with from time to time and it was my way of exploring the fantasy of freedom....of escaping and leaving the accoutrements of a life desired no more......

lyrics

left the ring in a jar
got me a pay check
and it wasn't worth its worth
and i figured
i don't need this life

so i packed up my bags
took a look around
wrote out a note
leaving it for my wife

darling time to roll
i grown to love you no more
best you find another man
there's a world i wanna explore

yeah i dug the good times
but you know they were long ago
now we just don't rhyme
so it's time for me to go

chorus
i left you the house
i left you the car
all the booty in the bank
and left the ring in the jar
i left you the house
i left you the car
there's no debts
and i'm sorry about the scars

who knows what's gonna transpire
but don't count on me comin' back
but just to let you know i got a heart
i left enough food for the cat

and i know baby this may not be
the best way to say goodbye
but if you check in the fridge
you'll see your fave sandwiches on rye


chorus
i left you the house
i left you the car
all the booty in the bank
and left the ring in the jar
i left you the house
i left you the car
there's no debts
and i'm sorry about the scars
