If You Could See Me Now 04:07
lyrics

If you could see me now I know you would be proud I had a wife and we had kids A good dog, a warm place to live If you could see me now If you were here right now I’d make you laugh somehow You could hold me to your heart And you could tell me I was smart If you could see me now If you could see me now If you could see me I won’t tell you what you’d done What you did to your own son I just know that you would smile To see us walking in the sun If you could see me now I know you would be proud I couldn’t do what you had done I would never hurt my son If you could see me now If you could see me now If you could see me

Bad Move 03:53
lyrics

The fall from Olympus is steep, steep, steep Beware every step that you take You can sway you can swerve in the car you deserve Till a pot hole ruins your day You can start each day with a grin on your face Motor hummin’, no one callin’ your bluff You’re on cruise control, down the high way you roll till some d’bag cuts you right off It was an ass hole move Yeah just an ass hole move I was a man on the move With nothing else left to prove till I got busted with the ass hole move There was a girl I met through a friend of a friend He said, ‘the two of you would hit it off fair’ Until I had to go away for a week and day When I got back, he and she were a pair It was an ass hole move Yeah just an ass hole move I was a man on the move With nothing else left to prove till I got busted with the ass hole move Well there’s a lesson learned every time you get burned A word to the wise let me state You can sway you can swerve in the life you deserve But a land mine is laying in wait It was an ass hole move Yeah just an ass hole move I was a man on the move With nothing else left to prove till I got busted with the ass hole move It was an ass hole move that truly blew my groove I was a man in the flow Every row did I hoe till I got busted with the ass hole move

A Home 05:17
lyrics

Homes for the homeless, homes for the transient Home for the needy among us Homes for the sickly, homes for the elderly A Home for the poor, for the young A home Home for a moment - for all eternity A home for the children - a home Home for the weekend - for some a luxury For some an impossible dream A home Go Home if you’ve sunken to the lowest of lows Go home, when you’ve reached your mountaintop Brother help brother, sister build sisterhoods And mother, bring all of us back home Bring us back home How much is enough for you A bigger house, a grander view Will that make you happy and free Your face in the mirror - Is love behind those eyes If not then your house is no home Go home Go home Go home

Dance Alone 08:39

What I tried to say In my month of May When I was not of age Can I join you up on stage No one heard my call. Was that it - Was that all My life inside a shroud, just another face in the crowd? Call on me this time, pick me for your side I can’t skate but that won’t ever stop me trying Let me fall if I must fall, let me rise if I’m to rise Just recognize that I am here - I’m trying, trying, trying What I mean to say (You’re not listening anyway) I should feel like I belong Like I can stand and sing along Hey, I can play that role, hey I can bare my soul Slap me in the face or wrap me in your warm embrace Let me l fail if I must fail, let me shine if I’m to shine Just recognize that I am here and trying, trying, trying, trying I’ll Dance alone., I’ll dance alone Though it’s a little like, ’I’m alright’ And it’s a lot like, ‘Oh, you know’ And they really should have told us it’s the writing on the wall And now September’s gone and winter time has hit full on I look across my bed, where she used to lay her head The only one who understood the only one who thought I could The only light to guide my way And when our hair turned silver gray Her memory failed and finally slipped away And if she were here beside me she would say Go dance alone, go dance alone Though it’s a little like, ’I’m alright’ And it’s a lot like, ‘Oh, you know’ And they really should have told us it’s the writing on the wall

She’s a queen but her head ain’t straight Sets her sadness to percolate And she sobs like the rain falls, pitter patter Oh she’s off on a crying jag Holds her heart in a shabby bag Now here’s mine on a scuffed up silver platter Blue Martina come away tonight I will, Blue Martina, make it right Dinner time at the five and dime I’ll have yours why don’t you try mine Here’s the keys, here’s the change now, jingle jangle See the fool in the sunny glade If you can’t swim it’s alright to wade We are waves on the water, ebbin’ flowin’ Blue Martina come away tonight I will, Blue Martina, make it right There’s no need to be fitting’ in I’ll be Yang, Honey, to your Yin And it feels like the first time When it could be the last time And it’s always the best time So grab your shoes or let’s go barefoot Grab my hand, grab your pocketbook It’s the moment the time is ticken’ tockin’ Blue Martina come away tonight I will, Blue Martina, make it right

Believe Now! 03:33
lyrics

I look out my window I don’t see what I saw just short years ago A town we all called home Where we could speak and roam freely Once we pulled together All at once it’s come untethered Where did our country go What we fought world wars for lay wounded Money is the new God Profits over people nouveau monde These are the dark-ass days Its set our souls ablaze Believe Now! A melting pot from sea to rising sea Everybody has a right to be, hear me, hear me Believe Now! We fight the fight It’s within sight / We sacrifice Believe Now! In flashlight, flood light, firelight Believe Now! Believe Now! As I look out my window I hear clearly in fortissimo We’ll raise our voice in song No note can be sung wrong Believe Now!

Train, What Train 08:00
lyrics

I’m here waiting on a train Let it be no train in vain People here don’t know my name S’pose in that there ain’t no shame I can wait some more, another day can end It’s a trend, I don’t stand out I just blend I can leave, i have a choice No one here can hear my voice They seek refuge in their caves Now they’re hemmed in by the waves See the rain slip down the drain Then evaporate again There’s no trick to standing still It’s just your will You know I will I have lasted, I’ve sustained So, I wait here for the train Every day begins with hope I’ll break through this envelope I can wait some more , another year can end It’s a trend, I don’t stand out I just blend I feel movement on these tracks Heavy tell-tale clicks and clacks I’ve grown old but just the same I’m here waiting on a train

Bones in the Bedroom 02:27
lyrics
buy track
When I was a little child I was frightened and scared Skeletons roamed my parents bedroom Oh, the creaky rocking chair The moaning never ended But in time I comprehended The unknowns in the bedroom were the bones in the bedroom There were bones in the bedroom on a Saturday night By Sunday morning it all seemed all right A big commotion and some major locomotion ‘Bout the bones in the bedroom Oh the clones in the bedroom Jumping this way and that Two people playing, going tit for tat At times it’s more like hand-to-hand combat Between the clones in the bedroom Every morning when the sun comes up it goes down The morning coffees need no sweetener on that commute to town Lying prone in the bedroom Well it could be all right But then, who knows someone may have up and died there of fright it all depends upon your appetite When you’re prone in the bedroom Every morning when the sun comes up it goes down The morning coffees need no sweetener on that commute to town Bones in the bedroom on a Saturday night By Sunday morning it all seemed all right A big commotion, a number 9 love potion Such locomotion, I think you get my notion It’s like that horse that hood-winked all of them Trojans ‘Bout Bones in the bedroom The Bones In The Bedroom

Look At Me 03:52
lyrics

Look at me, my life is hell Today I heard from Personnel They took my job away They never liked me much anyway I guess we’ll sell the second car And three or four of my guitars You call that country club Their food was way to rich anyway There’s a dead man on the ground It took four men to hold him down For minutes three he made no sound Look at me, my life is hell We’re getting low on Zinfandel I sold some stock today My broker said so anyway There’s a black man on the ground Two shotgun blasts, one took him down He took a jog in white bread town Look at me, my life is hell My image one big show and tell The pool needs cleaning And it’s much too cold out anyway Your bumper sticker says choose life. “What does that mean” I asked my wife? It means we’re hypocrites It was starting to bleach out anyway There’s a dead girl in her bed "They shot my girlfriend" Walker said They didn’t knock they just sprayed lead

Look To The Sky 07:26
lyrics

There's an awful lot that changes in a life From the time you scrape your knees it seems like everlasting strife Listen my child, I gave you all the love inside of me But my time is running short now, my future's hard to see I'll sing to you my thoughts, a little like a lullaby I'll wrap you in my words and then we 'll look to the sky Once there was a boy/girl, he wore his heart upon his sleeve He took far too much to heart, to all he seemed naive But here is the thing, the gist, the point I wish to make so clear That it's time, yes it's time that golden-throated gondolier I sing to you my thoughts, a little like a lullaby I wrap you in my words and then we'll look to the sky We'll look to the sky, We'll look to the sky And sing and dance with stardust in our eyes We'll look to the sky and nevermore look back I could never say the words, I know, I should have said to you But I tried, how I tried, it was the best that I could do There's never been a better word in any song since time began So I've got to go with Love, that time-worn, age-old signalman I sing to you my thoughts, a little like a lullaby Wrap you in my words and then we'll look to the sky We'll look to the sky, We'll look to the sky And dance and sing with stardust in our eyes We'll look to the sky and nevermore regret You can sculpt a block of ice, over time that art will melt You can build your house from cards if that's the hand your dealt I have loved you and I know that you loved me It's a dance we danced together, I led you, you led me I sing to you my thoughts, a little like a lullaby I wrap you in my arms and then we'll look to the sky We'll look to the sky, We'll look to the sky And dance and sing with stardust in our eyes We'll look to the sky and never more regret We'll look to the sky and never will look back

Tan in the land of the Midnight Sun Cinnamon blood in the Amazon Wildebeest slides to Oblivion Now the Curse of the Golden Child Laughable loons in the noonday sun These are the days of the Halcyon Myriad stars in a Polygon Now the Curse of the Golden Child My mommy and my poppy made me in a jalopy But that didn’t stop me and then out popped me I can do everything quite well but that don’t mean that I’m well done Eternal days of the Pathogen Conical runes flow in Bethlehem Stanislav Lem pen a sci-fi gem Now the Curse of the Golden Child My mommy and my poppy made me in a jalopy But that didn’t stop me and then out popped me I can do everything quite well but that don’t mean that I’m well done Mackerel mint in a wine filled bowl Dragonfly bones in an dry sink hole Nikita Boone in a Dead Sea Scroll, troll Now the Curse of the Golden Child

I don’t own a gun Never will own one Don’t need your killing machine It may portend your death At a dead end I’m sure, you’re a marksman fine So sure, Bull’s Eye every time Then a killer confronts you It may portend Your death at a dead end Buy a bigger gun Get the faster one You’ll still cry for your mother On that day when they find you In a pool of your own blood At a dead end Shy away from strife Seek a peaceful life Don’t need no killing machines Or someday they’ll find you In a pool of your own blood At a dead end

Every Blue Moon Is Mine 03:43
lyrics

Every Blue Moon seems to be mine Upon this matter there can be no denying I'm counting sheep Now that every blue moon is mine Like every sad tune that's ever been sung Like every guitar that's never been strung I'm losing sleep Now that every blue moon is mine I was but putty when I was in her hands Like taffy pulled deep in the south She sure was nutty like a sugared pecan Her aftertaste’s still haunting my mouth So if you're listening and I don't think you are You'll believe me one day (When you read my memoir) I'm losing sleep Now that every blue moon is mine I was but putty when I was in her hands Like taffy sweet but now gone tart She sure was nutty like a sugared pecan Her aftertaste has hardened my heart So if you're listening and I don't think you are You will miss me one day (I’ll read it in your memoir) You counted sheep and cried that every blue moon was… You lost the sleep and sobbed that every blue moon was… But until you do, it's me Now every blue moon is mine
