    Jesse Dayton’s Beaumonster is filled with song interpretations that are part-greaser, a whole lotta twang, and quintessentially outlaw country badass. Beaumonster encapsulates a life filled with adventure and lore featuring some of the greatest musicians this world has ever known.

    This companion album finds Dayton performing songs written by the many talented musicians and songwriters featured throughout his memoir. The album zigs and zags from Waylon Jennings to Social Distortion and Doug Sahm to Willie Nelson — all who share a connection with the storied Beaumont guitar slinger.

lyrics

One, two, ah one, two, three, four
Hey!

Well high school seemed like such a blur
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections
And in class I dreamed all day 'bout a rock 'n' roll weekend

And the girl in the front of the room
So close yet so far man, she never seemed to notice
That this silly schoolboy crush wasn't just pretend

Well life goes by so fast
Well you only wanna do what you think is right
Close your eyes and it's past
Story of my life

Story of my life
Story of my life

Well I went down to my old neighborhood
The faces have all changed man, there's no one left to talk to
And that pool hall I loved as a kid, now a 7-11

And I went downtown to look for a job
Well I had no training, no experience to speak of
And I looked at the holes in my jeans
And I turned and headed back

Well life goes by so fast
Well you only wanna do what you think is right
Now close your eyes and it's past
Story of my life

Story of my life
Story of my life

Yeah, good times come and good times go
I only wish the good times would last a little longer
Think about the good times we had
And why they had to end

So I sit at the edge of my bed
I strum on my guitar and I sing an Outlaw love song
Thinkin' 'bout what you're doin' now, honey
When you're comin' back

Well life goes by so fast
Well you only wanna do what you think is right
Now close your eyes and it's past
Story of my life

Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
