The Ballad Of Russ Ballard

lyrics

The Ballad Of Russ Ballard

He was born on Halloween in 1945
He is still making music, he knew how to survive
He is always wearing shades like Ian, Jeff and Roy
His Swiss cheese guitar somehow isn't a toy

Writing songs for others is his calling card
So I will sing to you the ballad of Russ Ballard

He's written many songs that other artists want
He is almost a hard rock Allen Toussaint
He was the frontman in a band that found a little fame
But they were known by another band member's name

All of his solo albums the public would disregard
So I will sing to you the ballad of Russ Ballard

Ace Frehley, Kiss and Three Dog Night
And Rainbow would sing what he'd write

The hard rock community should call him their Bard
So I will sing to you the ballad of Russ Ballard
The ballad of Russ Ballard
