Driftin' Man

It's catchin' on, it's comin' in again
All this lovin' is a new zen
It's a sweet pastime for a driftin' man
Lovin' your way across this great land
Try all day
To to get through
Ice cold feelings with a word or two
From town to town, there's not enough
Love goin' round, so listen up
It's comin' in, it's catchin' on again
All this lovin' gotta got us fumbling
It's a sweet pastime for a driftin' man
Lovin' your way across this great land
I'm with you
It's starting to get through
There's nothing better than lovin'
It's what we're here to do
You go to work
Wonderin'
Will today be the day you let love in
It's a love revolution,
Can you show you care
We're too divided and that ain't fair
But it isn't too late, we're still here
Now go and love someone somewhere

Mama Knows How To Rumble
02:30
|
|||
I'm down on my luck, I lost the appeal
I'm back in the jailhouse, Mama, what's the deal?
It's hard time now, look what they got me in
Come and bust me out, come and get your kin
Mama, I'm going out of my mind
Mama, I don't know how to pass the time
Oh, look out
Not a moment too soon
Get em, Mama
I don't need a shovel for digging a tunnel
She's got two fists and it's double trouble
This hoosegow gonna be a pile of rubble
Mama knows how to rumble
She got my brothers in the tumble
Breaking out, it ain't no trouble
Oh, Mama, come quick
After they spring me, I'm gonna get drunk
And then my Ma's gonna fix us lunch
We'll be on our way after I kip
There's a job in Ocala
They say there's gold in that horse shit
Ma says it's the big one this time
But that's it for her and her life of crime
But Ma, there's so many trains and so little time
I'm ready to roll, I'm ready to rumble
Who says life needs to be a struggle
On the run, it ain't no trouble
Mama taught us how to survive
Toughened us up on the outside
But none of that matters behind bars
If a pony can't run, it's gonna have a broken heart

Reality and Fantasy
04:52
|

Jesus watched a TV special on Shania Twain
And now he wants everybody to know his name
Just like everybody knows, Shania Twain's
I said, Jesus, you're not at all like her
And I've never heard you sing a word
He says it doesn't matter, they're gonna know it all the same
Yeah, he will be as known as Shania Twain
Every song a hit single
On crossover charts
He's born in Mexico, it's a similar start
He wants everyone to know his name
Like everyone knows, Shania Twain's
I said, enough of that, we gotta get to work
He looked at me murderously, said, watch it, jerk
And then we got in the car and pulled away
What did the radio start to play?
He said, I wanna go to McDonald's
Before we harvest the trees
It's like the Twilight Zone, I saw the documentary
You know, Jesus, everybody already knows your name
And fearing you is better than fame
Doesn't matter, he says he wants to go to the U.S. of A
Gonna go and find his big break
I said, that's where Shania went in 91
And it took six more years before You're Still The One
And then I saw it written all over his face
He would need a Mutt to help him get to that place
The road less traveled is what I hope he takes
To find his own voice he doesn't need a hit parade
Those songs are filled with coyotes and snakes
But the cartel ain't gonna let you go anyway
Yeah
I'm going to the U.S. of A
Gonna find my big break
But it's a fine, fine line, reality and fantasy
It's a fine, fine line, reality and fantasy
It's a fine, fine line, I'll say a prayer for you and me
Take it away, Jesus

A little to the left, now straight up,
That's the spot baby, can you heal it up, heal it up
My back goes into building homes
I got pain from brick and stone
When I get it bad I need to loosen up
I go to my lady for her magic touch
And she heals it up, yeah, yeah, she heals it up
Lie back baby, let nme do for you
What I want cause everything falls on you
When I'm working I feel her out on the hill
A white dress catching on the daffodils
I'm working my butt off cause she's my thrill
If my lady deserves a house on the hill
I'm gonna build it up, I'm gonna build it up
Lie back baby, let me do for you
What I want cause everything falls on you
Sometimes I don't feel right at all
Sometimes I miss my step and fall
Sometimes she just fills my cup
And I don't wanna speed it up
That's my story about true love
You gotta give it your all, you wanna build it up, build it up
I'll fill your cup
Lie back baby, let me do for you
What I want cause everything falls on you

Little Road House
03:25
|
|||
The man at the door, ain't that tall
He got a head like a wrecking ball
Can barely get it through the door
Barn size talking, 20-gallon or more
It's been compared to a tickin' time bomb
Careful around my friend, don't say anything wrong
Careful around our friend
Careful around my friend
Now Henesy over here thinks two is better than one
a sideways look gets you in on the fun
Watch yourself in the middle ground
Don't let her catch you, hangin' around
Green eyes watches while she keeps
Let me introduce to you
Sugar Sweet
Hello, Sugar Sweet
At the midnight strike, cayopte Joe begins to howl
And low-rate Jimmy starts to grunt and growl
Last thirty years at the ends of the bar
Constable McFanny there to keep them apart
It's always gonna get a little wild
When the J' see the girls, got a new boy to devour
A new toy, a new boy to devour
Constable McFanny Howard
Drinks all night double whisky sours
Yeah this is where he comes after the beat
He`s the law
So don`t be cheap
This is where we mix and meet
It's a little roadhouse
On my friends street
Yeah, the pool table got two sawed off feet
From the wake yesterday, that's where they layed up Pete
This is where we come to grieve
It's a little roadhouse
On my friend`s street

Twice Bitten
02:24
|
|||
It's in the middle of my back, I can't reach it, I can't scratch
It's been four days, tell me is it turning black
I swear to you, as soon as I can find her
I'm gonna get even with that spider
Get my silencer
It's the second time, like I'm it's only food
When I first saw her, she was hanging in the bathroom
But now it's war, cause she's gone rogue
Waiting for me in my bathroom
Chomp, chomp, chomp, she's a predator
Stomp, stomp, stomp, when I find her
A-HA
Ughhh
Yeah
Gotcha!
Oh
You better watch out
That might be a wolf spider!
I just keep getting more confused and dizzy
I can't sleep, its driving me mad
In the last attack, I think she slipped me some poison
The room seems crooked and I think I'm feeling chosen
Chomp, chomp, chomp, she's a predator
Stomp, stomp, stomp, when I find her
Chomp, chomp, chomp, she's a predator
Stomp, stomp, stomp, find my silencer
I'm not usually this way
But that spider's gonna pay

Stumbed Or Fell
03:53

Finding new ways to entertain myself
Since you've been gone
Watching the time passing by
There's no telling what I might try
I've broken bones on every limb
My face is scarred, I walk with a limp
I can't stop hurting myself, I was never in sync
Until you gave me a drink
Of your love
And I looked into your eyes,
Ever since that day I haven't stumbled or fell
And all my good ideas don't go straight to hell
Finding new ways to entertain myself
While you're gone
Watching the time pass me by
There's no telling what I might try
My car is wrecked, my bike is bent, my board is cracked
From before when I couldn't circumvent those accidents
Every day before you, a crisis awaited of my own doing
But sitting around, missing you
Is safer than my good ideas and subsequent pursuits
I haven't stumbled or fell, and all my good ideas don't go straight to hell
I haven't stumbled or fell, and all my good ideas don't go straight to hell
I haven't stumbled or fell, and all my good ideas don't go straight to hell
I haven't stumbled or fell, and all my good ideas don't go straight to hell

Odyssey
07:07
|
|||
The images are coming in much better
Like closing my eyes in sunny weather
Save
Looking for a trace of the beginning in a place
Fourteen billion years later
It seems like yesterday
We were rubbing sticks together
Now we're peering out
Looking for the maker
Of all this time
We hung around and still we seek redemption
Like a grain of sand on a beach wanting hydration
And what if the drone is first?
And heaven is a place, a place
In the universe
Are we getting restless in our cradle?
Just wanna see his face coming in on the internet cable
From a long way out will it be our devotion?
When we find the place of creation
Big Bang
Big Bang
Big Bang, fourteen billion years later
Big Bang, fourteen billion years later
Well, I don't know much about it
I'd say that's fair
But it pulls me down when I look out there
Shake out the demons of this motor coil
Tinfoil hats and earthy spoils
Prepare, prepare, prepare
kneel before your king

Let Me Know Its You
03:36
|

If I could be a boy again
When life was just pretend
I wouldn't want it to end
Rushing to be a man
Unbroken
If I could be a teen again
Be a teen again
I'm sick of being a man
Part of a sacred club
Ready to change the world
Outspoken
How can I be a better man?
I want to be a better man
Than I am
Won't take a lending hand
I don't know why or understand
Just move along, keep going
Rake this broken flesh and bone
Breath new life in me
Show me I'm not alone
I want to hear your voice of wisdom
Take me home
Take me home
Come to my soul
Make me awakened
To your truth
I want to hear your voice of wisdom
Let me know it's you

Real World
02:56
|
|||
I don't know what I was thinking
I was out of my mind
And I don't mean on booze or drugs
It's just a general state of mine
It's a sign of the times
Everyone is confused
Trying to identify
And I for one don't know where I've been
Or where I'm going in this life
I don't feel like I belong in this place, to this race
Tell me where have all the real people gone?
You won't find them here
They're somewhere out there
In the real world
I haven't been myself for so very long
So much time looking at this damn phone
Man I really know what's going on
I don't play any gigs or jam anymore
I watch it all from my home
I still smoke cigs and read the newspaper
It leaves me out on my own

Your Adventure
03:21
|
|||
It isn't easy to impress you anymore
You've done some growing, I just can't ignore
I can see how you look at me, the canvas is getting old
The colors might be fading but why does it feel
Like you're wearing a blindfold?
Come back and see me when you found my replacement
Don't apologize or confound, I don't need a statement
The sun's gonna rise for both of us
Sometimes there's nothing to discuss
So go on, go on
It's your adventure
There's a new world waiting out there
I gave you my best and I will always care
You're gonna do fine, but if it gets too cold
You'll always find home, even wearing a blindfold
And if you need me, come around
In your retracement
Bring your truth, bring your lies
What is love?
There's no exam in
The sun's gonna rise for both of us
Sometimes there's nothing to discuss
So go on, go on
It's your adventure

Going To Havana
02:53
|
|||
The cigar smoke rings floating above my head
It's been raining for days, from the bar to my bed
The blackbirds play and sing under the varanda
The music is passion from the Cubano banda
Another patron witha cigar
Says it Sunny in Havana
And there's a flight at midnight
On an airstrip on the savanah
Lets go to Havana
A traves de la tormenta
Everything's got to be done
Arriesganda vidas
to feel the sun on her skin
I want to see her dress under the sol
And the moonlight on her shoulders, strolling along the shore
Por favor, this rain at our heels
Let's take off of this jungle and see what the sky reveals
Going to Havana
Going to Havana

The Future Bass
03:29
|

The future bass,,
The delta dregs, will wash away
We're here to play
But the PTA calls it doomsday
The future bass
Modified gut string and a washtub
Clean love, gotta make it through for a soul rub
The future bass
Battle under the August moon
In the morning dew, bodies everywhere like a human stew
The future bass, your soul will vibrate
See it on your face, there's no escape
The future bass
Bring a tear to your eyes
Black shades, and head back to the sky
The future bass
The future bass
To the body and face
There's no escape
The future bass
Your soul will vibrate
See it on your face, there's no escape
The future bass
The future bass
The future bass
The future bass
The delta dregswill wash away, there's no escape,
This is the sound
Of doomsday

Gangster Of Sound
03:05
|

When I first got into it, it was for the music
And that feeling that I get when I get the sound
I'm feeling good like a runaway gangster
In this world of gadgets and variables
It's gonna cost a fortune to be incomparable
If you don't want to lose what you've found
You gotta get what you need when you're a gangster of sound
Some know the talk, but do they know what it means
Others zero in on the frequencies
Some wouldn't know a good mix, if it hit em` in the face
Sound class in pre-school should be a mandate
First I check the weather, then my frequencies
I'm like an Eygiptiasn Pharoah using sound energy
Working in aa field all day
Working under the hot sun
Just like today, putting on a rock show on
You gotta get that bass so deep and low,
They're gonna feel it in their knees
Are you done eating?, give me those chopsticks
The amp is under a lock and key
If I can reach the volume, and get what I need
To get this joint ripping , I need maximum velocity
Gangster of sound
I'm coming for your Crown

Rival
03:19
|

You look taken in another place
Do you think it's love, do you think it's fate?
Did he charm you on your date
Did he take your breath away
With skin so pale, he walks out from the mist
Making you feel you want a kiss
Like you can't resist
Run away, run away, run away, never come back again
Run away, run away, run away, you don't understand
He'll put you in a maze and release the hounds
His heart of darkness knows no bounds
Everything he says isn't true
And he only wants one thing from you
When he says that he loves you
There's only one thing for you to do
Don't trust love
Don't trust love
Don't trust love
Don't take the bait
Don't trust love
Don't trust love
Don't trust love
Your misery can wait

Suddenly
02:57
|

Baby, I can't stop myself from thinking of you
I've got to be near, like right beside
Where your light washes through
There's so many songs out there
To comfort the sad
Too many lonely people
Wanting another one
But I'm gonna sing this instead
Suddenly, the air felt like a summer breeze
Suddenly,
She was there standing next to me
Suddenly, time was divided
My life seemed like it just started
When I first laid eyes on her
My destiny was decided
I couldn't sleep, stop, or rest until she said yes to me
I've never felt anything like this
Love is a mystery
I never want to hear a sad song
Cause I've been so very sad
I want the world to hear me loud and clear
I thought I was good as dead
When suddenly, the air felt like a summer breeze
Suddenly, she was standing right next to me
Suddenly
Time was divided
My life seemed like it just started
When I first laid eyes on her
My destiny was decided

One More Time
02:48

Do you remember the first time I walked you home
The sun was coming up, we were dancing down the road
The light was all around us, you had diamond eyes
And then you asked me to come inside.
Tell me ne thingt, when you knew, I was watching you
I've got on my dancing shoes, I could dance any way for you
I run all night, to hold you tight
Nothing can keep me away
I'll rub your feet, and warm your seat
Anything for you babe
Come on, tell me, tell me
Come on, tell me, I said tell me
Tell me lover, that you feel the same
And that your interest is to be with me again
I've been over the moon for you
I can't focus on anything
I keep trying to get back in
Come on baby, give me a sign
I haven't had your sugar since the first time
Come on, you're my queen
Together we're divine
At least for a night, one more time
Do you remember, when I walked you home
The sun was coming up, we were dancing down the road
The light was all around you, you had diamond eyes
Come on baby, one more time
Let me in
For more wine

Boom, boom, Janie
Walked in into the bar
Took a seat, spread out her arms
Waiting on the men to notice
She was alone, she wasn't my missus
So someone asked her where I was
She said, I don't know and I don't care what he does
That was it, that was all
They came to her like a cattle call
You're free, go boom, boom, Janie
Yeah, you're free, so go boom, boom, Janie
Every night ican be new company
Cause you're free, so go boom, boom, Janie
It didn't take long for broken hearts
All the teary eyes of those young upstarts
And some too old to play that part
But not too old
To become her art
And then one day I walked through that bar door
Later that night I had her on the floor
I said, when do you think you'll be done
She said, I don't know but you're still my favorite one
|

22. |

The days get dark
And they stay so long
You know I got trouble
And I need some sun
Try not to turn on my TV
Cause when you come around
It makes it easy
Thumbing through
This big old book
I got magazines
But they ain't got no hook
Don't know where to turn
I've seen it all before
There's my time with you baby
It opens my door
And you can come knocking
And you can come knocking
And you can come knocking
Cause you know I'm here
You know I don't mean to love you baby
But can you give me a sign
I'm open twenty four seven
And I can wait all night
Cause everything else babe
Ain't nothing to me
Because whenever you want baby
You don't need a key
And you can come knocking
And you can come knocking
You can come knocking
Knock me up baby
Cause you know I'm here

When the dust falls to the floor
You won't see my face no more
I'm dustin' off my travelin' hat
I'm goin', baby, and I won't be lookin' back
When the sun sets on the hill
You`ll have one less glass to fill
I'm movin' on, yeah, I'm movin' on
Without you on
It's just one foot in front of the other
Ba, baby, till I fall into the butter
Don`t let the smoke get in your eyes
From all your wicked, burnin' lies
I'm movin' on, yeah, I'm movin' on
Without you on
