I’ve never seen a season blow so fast,
Tradewinds carried my present to the past,
Cause all I thought about was you.
Wanna make a life for two.
For two,
For two
I’d build us a house, I’d steal us a car
Give me a ladder, I’ll pull down the stars,
Cause only you can warm my blues.
You change my hue even when I’m bruised.
Bruised,
Bruised
La la la etc..

Mr. Brian

Oh Mr. Brian, he works them cars
All damn day, he works so hard.
Just like his papa, his papa before
Just like his papa, his papa before
He’s got a kid for every day of the week,
He slaves all night to put shoes on their feet
Just so his babies got somewhere to sleep
All because his babies need somewhere to sleep
He smokes all day and cain’t get no rest,
One day the beat’s gonna leave his chest.
All because his babies had have the best
All because his babies had have the best

Deep Pain, Loose Change
00:43
|
|||
I've got a deep pain that creeps my veins
I sought to seek change in this rich man's game
But loose gains yield loose reins
And if I lay slain for these such thangs
Let the world know me
Not only, my name

Broke Again
02:55
|

No sugar in my coffee, I left all that in the past
Gets me off in the mornin
By noon I’m at half mast
I just wanna tie my shoes and crawl home
The lord gave me backbone just to be broken
Sixty more hours and I’ll be golden
One more service cause you never know when you’ll be chosen
They sold me emptiness and said “You should be happy to be in debt”
The lord gave me a paycheck just to be broke again
I’ve been told that salvation, it ain’t for no rich man,
But in this world I can’t see that to be true
I’m tired of waitin’ on the next one
Tired of faith, guess I need me some proof
They sold me milk and honey
But I guess things done turned out funny,
I don’t want no sweet things, just hope again

My Friend

My friend we gotta patch this hole,
it’s running, gonna leave us in the cold.
Oh don’t you know we gotta catch this boat,
before it’s off the coast
Now you’ve done things that I don’t really like
And I’ve said things that really weren’t so nice
But don’t you know we could let all that go
I’d like to drink coffee when we’re old
Oh oh oh oh oh etc..
A good pal is hard to come by
And I’d like to say that you’re one of mine
For what it’s worth, I’d like to make this work
Life’s too short to let this bridge burn
Oh oh oh oh oh oh etc…
I’m sorry, for getting sentimental,
But when you love something,
You cain’t always be gentle
Oh oh oh oh oh etc…

Loose Ends
03:45
|

Tie up your loose ends, don’t leave ‘em all out hangin
You’ll never know when your day will come
Call up your friends, tell your folks that you love em
Try to tie the knot before you’re gone
If one things for certain, ain’t nothing certain
But you can make your plans if you want
I’ve never been one for runnin and rehearsin
Just try make today into tomorrow
I’ve seen sickness and I’ve seen twisters
Things that make me curly up and cry
So I gave up on asking for permission
I try to it all in stride
So try to make amends, take some time just to listen
Go for a stroll or drive
Life it depends on a healthy disposition
Cause there’s know end up misery in sight

Nowheresville

Nowheresville, where the air’s always clean
And people move like molasses through a front porch screen
But the world is moving faster and they don’t wanna listen
the world is moving faster and their living off their pensions
They say in far away places, where they don’t know the lord
They’re killing and their raping
That’s why we gotta go to war
But it seems everyday now, the war has been brought here,
Bullets dance and they trace out, every week of the year
Oh I gotta move north now, gotta hope on over the pines
Just me, my lover and a bed now and closin coastal lines
Either way that you split it, gonna be a brighter future
Be it from change or from flames
Be us winners or losers
