Upside of Lonely” is a very cool song written by our good friend/producer Tom Hambridge along with Gary Nicholson & James Thackery.   Roger & Linda Earl heard Tom play an acoustic version of this song at the Bluebird Café in Nashville and loved the lyrics!  Roger talked to Scott and Bryan about it and they decided to record it and change it up a bit!  Fun tune!  Released both on EARL & THE AGITATORS ‘Shaken & Stirred’ (2018) and FOGHAT ‘Under the Influence’ (2016). Foghat has been playing this song in their set all year and there is some great video of the performances. So we figured we would have some fun doing a Lyric Video with photos submitted by YOU, our cool fans!

Every Tuesday and Friday (2x per week) we will post a line from the song and ask fans to send us a photo representing that lyric. If it is not a photo that you have taken, please be sure to give us photo credit and make sure there are no copyright claims. At the end of 8 weeks, the band will pick their favorite photo for each lyric. There will be 16 winners and each winner will receive photo credit in the music video, as well as the following gifts:

  • VIP Guest pass for two for a Foghat show of your choice
  • Earl & the Agitators CD “Shaken & Stirred”
  • Earl & the Agitators Baseball Cap
  • Earl & the Agitators Patch
  • Foghat 8 x 10 (autographed and personalized)
  • Foghat ‘Post it Note’ Pad
  • ‘Under the Influence’ CD & Vinyl
  • 2 Foghat Flag Bandanas

“Upside of Lonely” Lyrics:
The good thing about you being gone
I can watch the game all day long
I can stretch my legs out in the bed
Extra pillows underneath my head
Don’t why nobody told me about the upside of lonely
I got a lot more room for my stuff
And I only have to wash one cup
I can stay up late and play my guitar
And the groceries go twice as far
Don’t why nobody told me about the upside of lonely
Your girlfriends ain’t ringing the phone off the wall
And I never have to hear from the mother in law
I ain’t cut the grass since the middle of June
I smoke a big cigar right up in my living room
Don’t why nobody told me about the upside of lonely
I drop my dirty clothes on the floor
I let the trash pile up by the door
I eat pizza three times a day
I ain’t worried ’bout watching my weight
Don’t why nobody told me about the upside of lonely
