"Night Mumbling" is a new CD with seven of Ford's original songs. Ford wrote each song, plays all the instruments, sings all vocals, and mixed the CD. He also personally designed each cover.
Here are the lyrics to the seven songs on "Night Mumbling."
La-Di-Da-Da-Da
by Ford Chastain
I am riding my bike around
I am riding my bike around town.
Forget all of my troubles now
Forget all of my troubles right now.
la-di-da-da-da
I’m in love with a pretty girl
I’m in love with a pretty girl now.
I just wish that she loved me too.
I just wish that she loved me also.
By the Shore
by Ford Chastain
Nothing really matters anymore.
I spend my hours sitting by the shore.
And I am so damn tired, I am so damn tired.
Life is as it seems, though half the time
Is minding your own business such a crime?
But I guess this is life, I guess this is life.
(chorus)
Hey, everything’s out of place.
I’ll need a new name and face
Just to finish out the day.
Life is just a series of goodbyes,
Our gasoline, our money, and our lives.
And I am so damn tired, I am so damn tired.
Things are as they seem, though half the time
One by one you know we’re going to die.
But I guess this is life, I guess this is life.
(repeat chorus)
Night Mumbling
by Ford Chastain
I walked on by, out of sight
It’s gonna take me forever.
I took my bike out at night,
I’m gonna come back whenever.
Someone tells me you're taking it down in the summer.
Someone tells me your talking at night is a mumble.
I took my time goin’ by
It’s going to take me forever.
I was not shy, that’s a lie.
I’m gonna come back whenever.
Someone tells me you're taking it down in the summer.
Someone tells me your talking at night is a mumble.
Walkin’ Down the Street
by Ford Chastain
I am walkin’ down your street,
I saw those people at your feet.
Don’t know that I am wrong when I say
you are better than me.
If I could only see you
walkin’ down the street,
walkin’ down the street,
and I know it’s not healthy
to pretend that you are mine.
I am looking in your eyes,
I realize that we said goodbye.
And I know that you are gone when I see
you walkin’ down the street.
If I could only meet you
walkin’ down the street,
walkin’ down the street,
and I know it’s not healthy
to pretend that you are mine.
Leaving Today Behind
by Ford Chastain
Today is a bad day to be alone.
I’m feeling afraid, feeling unknown.
Sky’s looking real nice to me right now.
I wanna learn why, wanna know how.
(chorus)
This is the worst time for this.
Every time I shoot I miss.
Nothing is going my way.
I feel like I’m leaving today behind.
The things I feel inside won’t go away.
I’m trying to hide, trying to stay.
Sky’s looking real nice to me right now
I wanna learn why, wanna know how.
(repeat chorus)
The Song about Busses
by Ford Chastain
Living in some boxes, wearing rags for a shirt,
I can tell right now that this is going to hurt.
Life is such a joke, or it at least seems that way.
All my friends are fake, they disappoint me each day.
I wanna leave on a bus, I wanna leave here today,
I wanna leave on a bus, so please get out of my way.
Everything is green and yet I’m feeling so down
I can’t get any peace when everybody’s around
Life is such a joke, or it at least seems that way.
All my friends are jerks, they really kill me each day.
I wanna leave on a bus, I wanna leave here today,
I wanna leave on a bus, so please get out of my way.
I’m Leaving Now
by Ford Chastain
Saturday and I’m feelin’ kind of strange…
Saturday and I’m feelin’ kind of strange…
It’s so funny how you act for me,
It’s so funny how you act
like all the world is shinin’
like every single bird is flyin’
But you, dup do do,
take it all down
I’m leavin’ now.
