Peter Erickson and Mark McClellan formed OFFICER 67 in late 1990 in Norman & began playing around the Norman OK and OKC area. We later were graced to have the talents of Dean Brown on drums and vocals. Our style is acoustic and we play anything from Beatles to Crowded House, from REM to Wilco. Originals and an album followed when Frank Lawrence, of FLAWRENCE & BEGEL loaned us recording equipment to capture original songs being performed live. With that, Endless Game was recorded and produced with the help of Darla Miller on backup harmonies and Frank Lawrence with studio production.

Story behind the song
Wrote the song after watching a movie about a guy in a witness protection program. My Blue Heaven starring Steve Martin, Rick Moranis and Joan Cusack, comes to mind, but it was probably some movie far more serious.
Lyrics
I travel by cover of night to find my way to you There is no one else I can turn to And now I'm in your arms for just a little while By morning's light I've got to pack my things and fly CHORUS That's the way it's got to be my love In the morning I'll be on the run And I'd do anything for you my love It's hard to love a man who's on the run That's the way it's got to be my love And I'd do anything for you my love That's the way it's got to be my love That's the way it's got to be But you know I love you You know I love you There's men out after me, they're trying to take my life It seems I lost my way so many years ago I witnessed everything they made me take the stand I was innocent, but now I am a marked man
