about

J.W. McClure vocals and rhythm guitar. Sam Morgan on electric archtop, Zan McLeod electric bass

So there's no misunderstanding-this is about my life as a musician in the 1970's.

lyrics

Living Off of My Friends
Living off of my friends
It ain’t been easy
To hide the guilt
Of living free
If I had me a woman
I’d move right in
And save my friends from poverty

Chorus
Living off of my friends
Living off of my friends
Oh, someday I’m bound to make amends
If I had me a woman
Someone with a great big house
and a great big ‘move right in’
I’d save my friends.

Living off of my friends
Cause they all love me
And they’re foolish enough
To give a sucker a break
Does anybody know
Just a simple minded girl,
Who’s so naive she would take me in?

Living off of my friends
I guess I could move home again
But mama would scream
She’d call me a bum
I’d have to get a job, a real job,
Get a hair cut now and then
And then I couldn’t live off
Of my friends.

about

J.W. McClure Seattle, Washington

J.W. McClure lives in Stanwood, Washington. This is a career restarted for me. In the 1970’s I was often an opening act at the Washington D.C. clubs, The Cellar Door and The Childe Harold for Tom Paxton, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Rush and many well known bands. In the 1980’s I returned to Washington to do folk music, satire and stand-up comedy before getting swamped by family and other work. ... more
