Little More Better – live two-track recording
After leaving Home for school, Joaquin wrestles with being away from his family after three of his relatives perish in a shooting.
My grandfather used to drive me
to school every morning,
He loved to listen to the blues
I know he’d have wanted me to go
Now I’m far from home
Then I remember his voice
That sweet lovin’ sound
And I feel a little more better
My uncle always had
a good attitude in life
And told me “do something you love
and you’ll be alright.”
Now I’m far from home
Then I remember his voice
That sweet lovin’ sound
And I feel a little more better
22, still so young
My cousin didn’t deserve it
He had two little girls
He had a lot going for him
A kid went into the shop that day
Took their lives with a gun
It broke my family’s hearts
Every single one
Now I’m far from home
Then I remember his voice
That sweet lovin’ sound
And I feel a little more better
Now I’m far from home
Then I remember his voice
That sweet lovin’ sound
And I feel a little more better
