Michael Des Barres and Kris Rodgers - Bounce Back Baby

from Hot 'n Sticky by Michael Des Barres

about

Des Barres says, "I have always admired Kris Rodgers's work. I felt he had an innate rhythm and blues feel to his songwriting. I wanted to do a couple of songs with piano and wonderful backup singers, and also with his great band, the Dirty Gems. I am so pleased with the results, and our co-producer Dave Draper and Wicked Cool Records, of course. I believe in the positivity of life more than I ever have because we need it so badly, which is in essence what the lyric implies. Get up on your feet again, and fall in love with yourself!"

Rodgers adds, "Michael and I started talking during the summer of 2021 about possibly working together. We hit it off! Writing music for "Bounce Back Baby" was really organic because Michael’s lyrics speak so positively to rising up from adversity, like we have all had to do in recent years."

lyrics

Lyrics:

She said you’ll be alright
You’ll bounce back baby
Everybody loves you
Except me maybe

For 18 months I saw it comin,
That’s how it happened.
She started runnin
And I know you know,
But let me tell you how its gonna go

I’m gonna bounce back baby (bounce back baby)
I’m gonna bounce back baby (get away from the pain and the sorrow)
I’m gonna bounce back baby (I’m a mess today but i’ll be back tomorrow)

Yes you did you broke my heart
But that’s good for the senses
I”m gonna mend the fences
Not guilty of all offenses

I’m just a book on an empty shelf
I’m a library all by myself
Let me read it to ya
I never really needed ya

I’m gonna bounce back baby (bounce back baby)
I’m gonna bounce back baby (get away from the pain and the sorrow)
I’m gonna bounce back baby (I’m a mess today but i’ll be back tomorrow)

Yeah I’m gonna bounce back baby
She said you’ll be alright
You’ll bounce back baby

Waking up is not hard to do
Its who you are, what you do
It’s a trick, a lesson, and a prayer
Suddenly she’ll be standing there

I’m gonna bounce back baby (bounce back baby)
I’m gonna bounce back baby (get away from the pain and the sorrow)
I’m gonna bounce back baby (I’m a mess today but i’ll be back tomorrow)
