joel david and lonesome fugitive

hey guys and dolls. just me tidal wave dave or lil dave as jd so lovingly calls me. i guess you have heard or read about my recent bout with the bad stuff. well, most of what youve heard is true.

ive been battling the disease of addiction for the past year and, thank god and good friends and bros like jimmy and jd, ive finally given up the intoxicants that riddled my life for so long.
dont let anybody tell you that with fame (or what we call it) doesnt bring access and excess.
i started with booze and moved to pain killers after brians back surgery. from there i moved to meth. thats definately a big fuckin' monkey to have on your back...
how did i kick the dragon? i saw my best friend(jd) almost die. i heard his words and what he thought was his dying request of me. i quit cd &l, went back home and finally to jds. I did out patient treatment (thanks dr. morris and all)and now im living day by day. the funny thing is i dont miss the junk. after the body cravings i had and with drawels, i lost my taste for it. thank god.
many thanks to all who have prayed for me and to those whom ive hurt with my bullshit, im sorry. please give me a chance to make it up to all of you. im a new man with a new plan and i have good people around me. i know that with their support i can remain on the wagon and continue to defeat this disease.
jd wrote a song while he was in the hospital. it was about me and one of my slips. i just finished writing the music for it and i must say that it is great. his lyrics are amazing. its so funny to me how he can put things so simple and so profound at the same time. any the song is called " accident" and im going to leave the lyrics on this blog. please read it. if out there using-stop. want to stop. find someone to help you find your way. i promise you that there is someone out there who cares for you and wants you to live-sober.
thanks again and god bless-david wallace. "accident" words by jd suttles, music by david wallace property of granny lou records

dont give up
it takes a while
i have seen this look before
its alright, you are not alone
if you dont love this anymore.
stop
i hear that you slipped again
im here cause i know you'll need a friend
you know that accidents can happen
and its ok we all fall off the wagon sometimes
its not your whole life
its only one day
you havent thrown it all away
take some time
learn to breath
and remember what it means
to feel alive
to believe
theres something more than what you see
i know theres a price for this
but some things in life you must resist
you know that accidents can happen
and its ok we all fall off the wagon sometimes
its not your whole life
its only one day
you havent thrown everything away
dont give up
it takes a while
believe me
there is people who love your smile
if you dont love this anymore
stop.

thanks jd, i love you dude. you are truelly my brother and i really appreciate you and your wisdom
