Movin On
My other life,
I left behind
A long time ago
In some troubled times,
was a friend of mine
no one could've known
spent my days,
in a dirty haze
swayin between the lines
put a big show on,
they're aint nuthin wrong
blinded by the white
now I… feel so alive… and I moved on
with times so tough now
and people who need me
no place for sorrow
so rise above it all
lower my head now
and focus on target
aint no distractions
and fire when ready
now I… feel so alive… cos I moved on

This Old House
Four in the morning she wakes up
house is quiet now the kids are grown up
straightens memories hanging on the wall
The timber in this old house
oh the stories it could tell
Pictures fading to black and white
As time goes by
Dads ol' back cant lift what it used to
Only sees friends when hes dressed in dark suits
No more laughin, too much funeral song
The timber in this old house
oh the stories it could tell
Pictures fading to black and white
As time goes by
Mountain view is gone from the porch swing
Highrises, billboards, and big screens
Farmers field under concrete sky
The timber in this old house
oh the stories it could tell
Pictures fading to black and white
As time goes by

Worse Than Dying

Worse Than Dying
There are things that gnaw at a man,
worse than dying itself
sorry bout the condition im in
im too proud to ask for some help
you know id try to reach out to you now
if i felt like you really cared
sometimes I feel shadows behind
i look but there aint nobody there
feels like a fate, worse, than dying
dedicated best years of my life
time that i will never get back
only those that walk beside
know the true darkness of man
I thank god i got out alright
but i feel like you left me for dead
good lord give me strength tonight
to keep those memories out of my head
feels like a fate, worse, than dying
Ive gave my life to you, but you werent here for me
I tried to walk away, but the ghosts wont leave me be
it seemed so simple for you, but i couldnt find the answer
at times i wonder aloud, how…why… me...
feels like a fate, worse, than dying

Honey Bee
oh my little honey bee
wont you come and sing to me
love your little song and dance
a most amusing happenstance
I could call you butterfly
so beautiful passing by
wrap yourself up in a breeze
and warm my heart with such ease
my little honey bee
You are such a pretty girl
love to have you in my world
time goes by much too fast
lets slow it down and make it last
now let me hold you in my arms
make me weak with all your charms
dance with me nice and slow
hold on tight and dont let go
my little honey bee
my little honey bee
wont you come and sing to me
oh my little honey bee
wont you come and sing to me
love your little song and dance
a most amusing happenstance
I could call you butterfly
so beautiful passing by
wrap yourself up in a breeze
and warm my heart with such ease
my little honey bee

Maybe Tomorrow
Ive been gone, way too long
and this place has seen so much change
they look at me with their faces drawn,
and deep inside I feel their pain
it used to be such a vibrant town
when the money went, all the walls came down
men and women who broke their backs,
have lost their homes to a greedy man
I remember better times, corner stores, and ball games
Mr Houston chasin us out his garden in the rain
if all of the good folk raise their voice everyday
you know that tomorrow for the better things will change
(maybe tomorrow for the better thing will change)
Its a troubled time, its a heavy load
many people cryin cos lies bin told
is this what were gonna leave behind
our kids will suffer, how will kids survive?
I remember better times, corner stores, and ball games
Mr Houston chasin us out his garden in the rain
if all of the good folk raise their voice everyday
you know that tomorrow for the better things will change
(maybe tomorrow for the better thing will change)

Pissin Down
bring your lady down, sit beside the fire
long night planned of good friends and good times
dont mind if the sky is threatening grey
weve been looking forward to this for days
She's wrapped her arm around my leg
Im laughing hard 'bout something you said
cold shiver, wind in the pines
yeah we all knew it was just a matter of time
Its pissin down on us again,
Hide beneath the trees and pass the smoke around,
You'd think we'd be used to moppin' plans
Now were watchin the fire try to breathe again.
Retreatin now through the basement door
crack a bottle of rye and smoke one more
toss up the blinds and keep an eye on the sky
we planned to go right through the night.
Its pissin down on us again,
Hide beneath the trees and pass the smoke around,
You'd think we'd be used to moppin' plans
Now were watchin the fire try to breathe again.

Git Me Some Whiskey
Got me a poundin head
from getting bent
don't remember what I did
don't remember what I said
got home at sunrise
woke up at sunset
beside some fine legs
and I looked at her and said
Git me some whiskey
to fix my aching head
git me some whiskey
an' we'll go round again
git me some whiskey
pair a shades and a fine cigar
git me some whiskey
I drive fast cars
hang out in the local bar
i keep my motor clean
i put the finest gasoline
you wanna take a ride with me
you wont get nothing free
said she'd take me to her bed
I just looked at her and said
Git me some whiskey
to fix my aching head
git me some whiskey
an' we'll go round again
git me some whiskey
pair a shades and a fine cigar
git me some whiskey

Diamond in the Rough
Hanging out in the cold last night, you seemed so far away
held your hand to find some warmth inside, You pulled it back and looked away
I know things bin tough lately, work is slim and I bin drinkin
but I swear to you I'll pull through for us, I'll never let you get away
.
But down inside Im not sure I trust myself,
its a hell of a mountain for me to climb
remember when things were simple babe
didnt have a dollar, didnt need a dime
if I can find a way to prove to you, theres a lot of me left to give
Cos I'm a diamond in the rough
a little worn and kinda tough
guess its time I show my stuff
Cos Im a diamond in the rough
Im a diamond in the rough
I want you to know how much I love you so, this family means the world to me
if I dont make it to the end of the road, trust I gave every part of me
Im sorry for the times you lay alone at night, wonderin if i'd be home at all
stumblin in without a thought for anyone, swear I'll never go there again
If I can find a way to prove to you, Theres a lot of me left to give
.
I'm a diamond in the rough
a little worn and kinda tough
guess its time I show my stuff
Cos Im a diamond in the rough
Im a diamond in the rough

Sally Don't Play That Game
.
You wanna ride in a fancy car
she wanna be a rising star
she's willing to give it away for fame
not a thought about her daddy's shame
heading west where the people aren't true
she'll even take it off for you
to get a shot on big tv
she'll have all the surgery
Sally don't play that game
it'll only drive you right insane
Sally it wont take you far
no one'll love you anymore
They say you were a gorgeous child
but kinda stubborn 'n' really wild
you'd turn all the boys heads in town
now hollywood has taken you down
all tattooed n strung right out
too much layin on the castin couch
got no love, looking too thin
tossed aside by the city of sin
Sally don't play that game
it'll only drive you right insane
Sally it wont take you far
no one'll love you anymore

A letter Never Sent
Its overgrown with grass so high
in the spot we used to lie
wonderin where you are out there
did you find someone with love to share
knew someday you'd have to go
and I wonder how it could have been
if it wasnt for the mess
I always seemed to get in
Ive got some great memories
like the way you smiled at me
hidin beneath the ocean wall
freezin on the beach in the fall
you never knew what you meant to me
and I knew time was slim
was somethin callin you
and beggin you to come in
I hope this finds you well
I'd love to see you again
and so I send my regards
until… we meet… again
Its overgrown with grass so high

Get Back On the Horse
.
You been gettin around town
I know this for sure
Makin quite a name for yourself
You made me look like a fool
I guess another lesson learned
I can handle a wound
I shoulda gone long ago
Whats a good man to do
.
I aint gonna stay down for the count
or feel battered and bruised
just get up n dust myself off
another round or two
Im always good to keep my chin up
I aint gonna get low
an this boys got a real strong back
know what Im gonna do
.
Get back on the horse, get out there and ride
If I get knocked down
Im gonna get up and fight
Get Back On The Horse
.
I hear you bin cuttin me down.
Time to let it go
I know the real truth behind
I'll take the high road
an if I see ya someplace, sometime
Ill give respect to you
I wont judge ya for the shit ya said, no
I'll never crawl like you
Everyday I hold my head high
nothin to be sorry for
an this boys got a real strong back
Im always ready to go
