about

The song, “Jump Out of My Skin,” was written around 2005 by my long- time friend, Terry James Clements. It stuck with me back then and has rattled around in my head off and on through the years. Recently, I was perusing through folders and files that had been stored on the hard drive of my studio computer. I was looking for duplications of music files and attempting to clean house, so to speak. While doing so, I ran across 2 other songs that had been written by my friend, in addition to re-visiting, “Jump Out of My Skin.” I decided I wanted to use all three songs to help finish out my most recent 12 song musical project.

Thank you for taking the time to search this out. I will be releasing two more songs in the not so distant future, as the remainder of the “Record” is being completed.

Stay tuned. I’m not finished.

Doc Mason

lyrics

Jump Out of My Skin
© 2004
You might see me staring out the window
Like I'm wondering just how things might have been
Maybe somewhere far away, a different time another day.
But no, I'm just tryin' not to Jump Out of My Skin.
__
Look into these eyes, do they seem troubled?
Like I finally played the game that I can't win.
Has the burden that I'm carrying gotten heavy?
No. I'm just tryin' not to Jump Out of My Skin.

__ Refrain:
And I'm trying to find something to hold on to.
Now that this World has spun out of control.
It's gettin' harder to believe.
It's getting harder just to breathe.
Is this how it's gonna be getting old?
__
Do these lines above my brow reveal the secret?
Why the hair upon my head is growin’ thin.
Am I loosing all the pieces to the puzzle?
No. I'm just tryin' not to Jump Out of My Skin..

__ Refrain:
Yes, I'm trying to find something to hold on to.
Now that this World has spun out of control.
It's gettin' harder to believe.
It's getting harder just to breathe.
Is this how it's gonna be getting old?
__
Do these lines above my brow reveal the secret?
Why the hair upon my head is growin' thin.
Am I loosing all the pieces to the puzzle?
No, I'm Just Tryin' Not to Jump Out of My Skin.
No. I'm just tryin' not to Jump Out of My Skin.

Doc Mason Fredericksburg, Texas

I was a 20 years old pre-med student when I was given a Gibson Guitar for Christmas in 1970. I took to it. Music had long been a part of my life. I started whistling when I was 2 years old, and called it my horn. I cut my teeth on Hank Williams… Summer of 1972, I met a Blues Guitar playing sharecropper named, Mance Lipscomb, who advised me to, “Be the best at what you do.” I took that to heart. ... more
