WORLD OF OUR OWN

World of Our Own

Augeri / DeRossi 

We’re a stones throw from the county line
The border lays about an hours time
If we travel light
We can make the coast by dawn

Now, I don’t know what lay ahead
But I do know yesterday is dead
And I’ll be damned if I
I just sit around and mourn

Imagine the gifts that tomorrow brings
When our hearts will follow
Our Dreams of yesterday

There must be a place
Where we don’t have to dream to see
Where they’ll let us be
In a world of our own
There will come a time
And it’s sooner than you think
Girl, where we can live
In a world of our own 
In a world of our own

Nothing fancy, just a little home
A leaky faucet and a creaky floor
On a quiet street
Or on a busy avenue

Imagine the gifts that tomorrow brings
When our hearts will follow
Our Dreams of yesterday

There must be a place
Where we don’t have to dream to see
Where they’ll let us be
In a world of our own
There will come a time
And it’s sooner than you think
Girl, where we can live
In a world of our own 
In a world of our own

Love is a blessing
That keeps us waiting
Waiting forever
To set our hearts free, yeah

There must be a place
Where we don’t have to dream to see
Where they’ll let us be
In a world of our own
There will come a time
And it’s sooner than you think
Girl, where we can live
In a world of our own 
In a world of our own

Darling I’m scared but it still feels right
It’s a leap of faith that we take tonight
Together we set out in search to find
Find a world of our own
We get scraps from the table 
But never the feast
Maybe the good life’s some mythical beast
‘Cause it’s you and me baby that’s all I need
Is a world of our own

"A Three Hour Tour"

Howdy all!

Well, we’ve returned home from a "three hour tour” that turned our “Gilligan’s Island” into a nine day excursion starting in Santiago and ending Savannah. To our amazement and delight, three sold out shows in Chile and always an extreme pleasure to play for our Chilean audiences. It appears we’ll be returning as soon next October to their southern climbs and perhaps
… penguins?

The “Blizzard of 2017” couldn’t keep us from our next engagement in Georgia so rather then return home thanks to a touch of the flakey white stuff and cancelled flights all along the eastern seaboard, we headed onto to Savannah a day earlier sans luggage and deodorant and had the golden opportunity to taste some of this quaint city's finer delicacies. It’s Gumbo, Fried Chicken, She Crab Soup and Fried Green Tomatoes! (Are you hungry yet?) 

Then on to a last minute venue change that could have been disastrous but instead may have turned out to have been the highlight of the entire trip thanks the incredibly enthusiastic Savannah crowd who assisted us in blowing the roof off that sucker! 

Thanks to my bandmates Adam Holland, Craig Pullman, Tobias Ralph, and Gerard Zappa who held it all together especially our “Ace” FOH engineer Phil Castellano who worked what will be affectionately forever known as the  “Miracle on Abercorn St.”
A proverbial Rabbit out of his hat:-)

Another day in the life of The Steve Augeri Band.

And boy, as usual, it’s good to be home again:-)

’Til we meet again…
Steve Augeri
