Continuing with the “musicians with the first name of Eric” theme, this week I’m featuring one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Eric Hutchinson and his song “Not There Yet” from his “Moving Up Living Down” album. I heard it while shopping today and instantly knew it was going to be the song for today’s article. It was never released as a single so all we have is a static image but I hope the song whets your appetite enough that you go and check out some of Eric’s other songs.
Let me know what you think of the song in the comments.
“I don’t want to work anymore
I just want to live instead
Everyone is saying I’m all grown up
I’ve come a long way, but I’m not there yet
I’ve come a long way, but I’m not there yet.
Where did the summer go?
I was just hitting my stride
It’s this insanity, takes me along for the ride
I swam the oceans and the seven seas
Knowing that fate would strike eventually
You’ve got to hit rock bottom if you want to come out on top
I don’t want to work anymore
I just want to live instead
Everyone is saying I’m all grown up
I’ve come a long way, but I’m not there yet
I’ve come a long way, but I’m not there yet.
Where did the winter go?
I just got used to the cold
And it’s immaturity, keeps me from getting too old
Now I saw a snowfall on a thousand towns
With a sense of purpose I had just been found
You’ve got to run real far before you ever feel close to home
I don’t want to work anymore
I just want to live instead
Everyone is saying I’m all grown up
I’ve come a long way, but I’m not there yet
I’ve come a long way, but I’m not there yet.
You know I’m not there yet
Been working myself into a lonely state
You know I’m not there yet
Been breaking my back to find another way
It’s been a long time coming
I deserve to take a holiday
I don’t want to work anymore
I just want to live instead
Everyone is saying I’m all grown up
I’ve come a long way, but I’m not there yet
I’ve come a long way, but I’m not there yet.”
