about

According to Ehresman, "If people still put out singles from albums, I guess this would be the one here.....When I decided to make this a rock record, this is the first song I wrote with that in mind......Huge, huge props to Ana Karen for her wonderful, top-shelf background vocals on this song....a real joy to work with in the studio."

lyrics

You Can Take It To The Bank
(©2017 Walter Ehresman)

You ain’t fifth, if you get my drift—
you’re livin’ at No. 1;
‘cause I’m a man of deep intention,
got no need to chase my fun.
You can take my word for true,
and you can take it anywhere you need;
‘cause my love is a rock foundation,
you are the only girl for me.

[chorus]
When I step up to the mountain, baby,
and I put it all on the line:
--you can take it to the bank;
--you can take it to the top;
--you can take it to a higher level, baby then
--you can keep it in your heart;
--you can show it to the world;
--you can use it all to take my measure.

I stand with and I stand behind—
in my arms you’ll be secure;
‘cause I’m a man of deep intention—
and this ain’t no force majeure.
And you know I ain’t the wanderin’ kind,
and you know I sunk my roots right here;
‘cause my love is a rock foundation,
you’ll never have a thing to fear.
