Long Time Comin'
03:39
|
|||
I’ve been trying to smell the flowers but I keep getting pricked by the thorns
Blood running down my fingers I can’t call you for help anymore
I’ve been waiting though the hours and swimming through the storms, my hands keep on filing under the weight of these stones
Call me one time
Call me Darling
Tell me what I can do to help you make it to the morning
It’s been a long time coming
Been a hard one to shake
No matter how you try, it just don’t seem to break
It’s a cold wind blowing a blizzard through your brain
Trying to make some sense of those thoughts you can’t explain
Can’t explain
The wind through the pines keeps on whispering me secrets
About where to go and who to call but I never seem to keep them
I’ve got dust in my eyes and sleep between my toes
Going through lifetimes of hell for those lies I’ve been told
-Oh Darling can’t you hear my call, I’m tearing down that wall
It’s been a long time coming
Been a hard one to shake
No matter how you try, it just don’t seem to break
It’s a cold wind blowing a blizzard through your brain
Trying to make some sense of those thoughts you can’t explain
Can’t explain

Why We've Come

Why We’ve Come One Grass Two Grass
Verse 1:
Every new horizon comes up on the furthest shore
Thought the troubled rains can pour,
Early in the dawn
If the pavement cracks into a puzzle, right beneath your feet
From the waters that have seeped
You want to be ready to respond
Fore when it comes to the tools of life, you’d rather be, looking at ‘em
Than find yourself looking for ‘em
When the puddle becomes a pond
Pre-chorus:
We watch what we worship in the recess of our hearts
Don’t let your moral compass spin circles round your poles...
Chorus:
We don’t know where we’re going, but we know where we’re from
Creeping vines just twisting toward the sun
We try to always aim for, what we care for,
what we’re there for, Why we’ve come.
We try to always aim for, what we care for,
what we’re there for, Why we’ve come.
Verse 2:
If you have a desire, to hit the streets to inspire
Throw kindling on the fire
That affects the outcome
Or are you’re standing on a foundation of, motivating inspiration
To shake up the divided nation
Stick to your guns
Time’s are always changing to a progressive rhythm
Keep your hand steady
As you’re beating on the drum
Verse 3:
Are you a Teacher or a Preacher or a Giver or a Saint?
Looking for who you are while avoiding who you aint.
(Or) Are you a Leader or a Seeded or a Feeder without restraint?
Fueled by filling mouths though does it leave you feeling faint.
Are you working with the best of em’ to lend aid to the rest of ‘em
Searching through the hard times for a world without complaints?

Meet me in the mornin , Meet me with the sun
tell me what I need to know to get this whole day done
Coming down the mountain riding on this line
many years behind me , Just in nick of time
and I'm gone
Moonlight fills the hills when I'm gone
Moonlight fills the hills when I'm gone
it's not where you look , and no one will agree
lucky if you're standing there , smack into a tree
parting of ways , leads to mending of times
forget about things you've done , mesmerized by rhymes
and I'm gone
Moonlight fills the hills when I'm gone
Moonlight fills the hills when I'm gone
There stands a blind man, so blind he can't see
unaware , unconscious , His neck there hangs the key
Standing by my window, cold and cloudy and just me
I'm a free born man breakdown , black eyed Suzy yes siree
and I'm gone
Moonlight fills the hills when I'm gone
Moonlight fills the hills when I'm gone

Under My Wheels
03:52
|

It’s one more gas tank for the sun and another old worn out country song
The handles are all broken
The windows don’t crank but she rolls on
V2
It’s one more shot of bourbon strong
How long must this go on
If it’s happening for a reason, I don’t get the motives of my god.
Of my god
CH 1
When the mountain air soothes you and the sea breeze helps to put you at ease (medium hold)
The smell of sage in the springtime and mile after mile falling under my wheels
Under my wheel
V3
Campfire smoke is running through your blood
One place for too long can’t feel any good
If I’m running from the answers well I wish them god’s-speed because I’m running hard
I’m running far

Blues on the Run
04:03
|

I'm on the run the dogs on my trail I've got no money to go my bail
if there's time to rest please tell me how, can't stop now won't stop now.
I burned all my bridges no friend a call this wall to climb seems awful tall.
Haven’t found me yet I’m sure they shall, Can't stop now don't stop now.
I didn’t wake up early no I didn’t get to sleep last night.
You might say I look worried, well I’d say that you are right.
I don’t know where this started, I’m not sure where it’s going
I might be broken hearted, but I hope it’s not showing
Take me back to the time when I was free
Back when I knew, what it was to be me.

Rings

That sound filled my head
The music was footsteps as we walked with the rain
We spoke of death
The words that I wanted I just couldn’t obtain
As we walked on though the rain
And I – Don’t know what to tell you
And I- Ain’t gonna sping you no lies
It’s all the same no matter how I look at it so I’m not even gonna try
I’m not even gonna try
I met this girl and I heard around the campfire that Molly was her name
She rocked my world, and she taught me the difference between my joys and pain and we danced on through the rain
And I – Don’t know what to tell you
And I- Ain’t gonna sping you no lies
It’s all the same no matter how I look at it so I’m not even gonna try
I’m not a sinner
No I’m -not a Saint
I’m not what you wanted me to be
I’m just a man putting some roots down in this small town with no reason to leave
When I fall down they’ll count my rings

Mississippi Quees
02:50
|
|||
Saved for three months just to get a ride
She's carrying me away to where I can find my pride
Everything I own is on my back
My past is going up her smoke stack
CH:
Give me that muddy water
Let me see that steam
Give me a ride on that Mississippi Queen
Dreaming of her kissing and how she felt in my arms
This Mississippi Queen is reminding me of all her charms
Headin' down south paddle wheels goin' round
Lord oh lord it's such a soothin' sound
Glistening of the waters burning through my brain
It's been so long since I've felt this sane
Been up in the hills for far too long
This muddy water starting to sing me a new song
