Live On

I know a woman that likes to shake her tail feather
In her moccasin boots made from Navajo leather
She dances all day long whatever the weather
Wherever she goes the sky is always blue
Her heart is pure, her love is true
She never spends a moment wondering what to do
Live on my friend
Your back to the wind
Dance your dance and sing your song
Live on my friend
Till it’s time to start again
Cause life goes on
Sitting on the front porch under some shade
There’s an old black man sipping lemonade
He’s got a head full of wisdom, he never got past the third grade
Sent to work in the fields when he was ten
He’s the son of the south and the cotton gin
And now those calloused hands don’t match his easy grin
Live on my friend
Your back to the wind
Dance your dance and sing your song
Live on my friend
Till it’s time to start again
Cause life goes on
A child is born, who could it be?
Well it may be you and it may be me
It’s got a whole life ahead, let’s just wait and see
We’re never really sure where we’ve been
Or whose to blame for the shape we’re in
The only thing we know is life goes on
Live on my friend
Your back to the wind
Dance your dance and sing your song
Live on my friend
Till it’s time to start again
Cause life goes on
Live on my friend
Your back to the wind
Dance your dance and sing your song
Live on my friend
Till it’s time to start again
Cause life goes on
Cause life goes on

Moses And Me
04:33

|

There will be time for rest when the day is done
400 miles neath the burning sun
Living in sin there will be price to pay
When the whole wide world washes away
There will be plenty for us soon enough
As far as the eye can see
Just a little walk through the wilderness
Into the land of milk and honey
And when your children go and do what they asked of you
Back by the burning tree
We’ll go downtown and hang around
You and Moses and me
You and Moses and me
You and Moses and me
You and Moses and me
Been watching people struggle through the walls of time
Trading their joy for pain
But when the feast turned to famine and that sunny day
Turned to 40 nights of rain
There will be plenty for us soon enough
As far as the eye can see
Just a little walk through the wilderness
Into the land of milk and honey
And when your children go and do what they asked of you
Back by the burning tree
Gonna go downtown and hang around
You and Moses and me
Just you and Moses and me
Just you and Moses and me
Just you and Moses and me
I used to find comfort in those shiny things
Made by the minds of men
But now the world is too cold for my old soul
Better get out while you can
There will be plenty for us soon enough
As far as the eye can see
Just a little walk through the wilderness
Into the land of milk and honey
And when your children go and do what they asked of you
Back by the burning tree
Gonna go downtown and hang around
You and Moses and me
Just you and Moses and me
Just you and Moses and me
Just you and Moses and me
Just you and Moses and me

It’s funny how time puts you in your place
The simple little things that put a smile on your face
And when you’re not looking, it sneaks up from behind
And you find somebody you never thought you would find
Slide to the left
Back to middle
Sway to half time
A banjo and a fiddle
Back to the right
We could do this all night
Honey if you want me too
A little bit of me
A lotta bit of you
Sprinkle it with hope
Til our dreams all come true
I need you so
Won’t you let me know
When it’s time to go
Serendipitous fortune come as you will
Your’e gone just as easy once you’ve had your fill
But tonite’s been a great night and we should do this again
I welcome you back when the music begins
Slide to the left
Back to middle
Sway to half time
A banjo and a fiddle
Back to the right
We could do this all night
Honey if you want me to
A little bit of me
A lotta bit of you
Sprinkle it with hope
Til our dreams all come true
I need you so
Won’t you let me know
When it’s time to go
Slide to the left
Back to middle
Sway to half time
A banjo and a fiddle
Back to the right
We could do this all night
Honey if you want me to
A little bit of me
A lotta bit of you
Sprinkle it with hope
Til our dreams all come true
I need you so
Won’t you let me know
When it’s time to go
I need you so
Won’t you let me know
When it’s time to go
I need you so
Won’t you let me know
When it’s time to go
I need you so
Won’t you let me know
When it’s time to go

Town Park
03:27

Late night in Telluride
Stumbling through the dark
Finding my way by the light of the moon
Somewhere in Town Park
In the distance, I could here the rumble
Of the dog house down below
I was getting so much closer to that high, lonesome sound
Of a fiddle and a bow
Two beers are better than one
Two beers are better than one
If it all goes right
I’ll fall on my face tonight
Two beers are better than one
Crowded together in an easy up
Letting all those good times roll
The propane warms the instruments
The music warms my soul
I’m that guy that doesn’t have a ticket
No tent, no beer, no cash
I’ll just drink from someone else’s cooler
And smoke up all their stash
Two joints are better than one
Two joints are better than one
If it all goes right
I’ll smoke all your weed tonight
Two joints are better than one
Friday’s get freaky, there’s a party at the Tiki
Watching all those hippy girls dance
And while their boyfriends are busy playing bluegrass music
I’ll be looking for my chance
I keep getting NO for an answer
I say why can’t everybody be free?
Stealing what I can I just can’t get enough
Of this festival built for me
Two girls are better than one
Two girls are better than one
If it all goes right
I’ll be in your tent tonight
Two girls are better than one
If it all goes right
I’ll get all I need tonight
Two beers are better than
Two joints are better than
Two girls are better than one

Please Excuse The Mess

Please excuse the mess
You made in Los Angeles
No one would ever guess
You’d leave me like the rest
We travelled west together
Chasing the California dreams
You left me alone in this big city
And now I’m falling apart at the seams
Please excuse the mess
You made in Los Angeles
No one would ever guess
You’d leave me like the rest
How many more have your hurt
In this particular nasty way
Knowing you, one thing’s for certain
There someone out there your hurting today
Please excuse the mess
You made in Los Angeles
No one would ever guess
You’d leave me like the rest
These city streets are so crowded
I just can’t find a friendly face
But I would leave for home tomorrow
If I could just get out of this place
Please excuse the mess
You made in Los Angeles
No one would ever guess
You’d leave me like the rest

Cowboys And Hippies
03:26

|

Cowboys and hippies are my kind of people
Walking a road all their own
They gave up the comforts of modern day living for
Choosing the freedom to roam
Now hippies dress funny
They don’t care about money
And they won’t let the man keep them down
They’ll follow the band to the next one night stand
And get lost in the smoke and the sound
I don’t mean to alarm you
Those hippies won’t harm you
Letting their freak flag fly
Just another piece of that good old American pie
As long as there’s land
In need of a hand
The cowboy ain’t likely to change
Roping them cattle
From high in the saddle
Spending lonely nights out on the range
Where home ‘s just another
Sky to sleep under
In the land where the eagles still fly
Just another piece of that good old American pie
There’s no need to stare
Won’t you pull up a chair
With the cowboy, the hippy and me
We’ll roll up some smoke
Maybe all tell a joke
About life in the land of the free
Say hello to your brother
From another mother
And you can tell by that look in his eye
He just wants a piece of that good old American pie
We can all have a piece of that good old American pie

Brother John

Up by the Bear Creek falls
Somewhere in the night
We was picking in a circle
Had a banjo to my right
They said his name was John
And that boy sure could play
We picked a couple dozen
before he walked away
Roll on, brother John
Time has come to travel on
Roll on brother John
Always here in the song
A couple years went by
Until we met agin
We was was having quite the time
Picking with with a grin
His fingers knew the way
Through Any tune you’d call
He always got a break
Because old John could play them all
Roll on, brother John
Time has come to travel on
Roll on brother John
Always here in the song
Just a year ago
On this very day
A long black train came by
John got on and rolled away
So tonite we gather in the dome
And pick until the dawn
Will The Circle Be Unbroken
Fly Away and He’s Gone
Roll on, brother John
Time has come to travel on
Roll on brother John
Always here in the song

Hammered and Nailed

I go to work every day and try to earn my pay
So I can bring it on home to you
But we’re always out of food and you’re never in the mood
When I’m gone I wonder what you do
It’s been going on too long, you’ve been doing me wrong
I know you’re out there cheating on me
Behind those pretty eyes, theres’s a lot of dirty lies
I’m the only one left that cannot see
Gonna go down to the tavern drink some whiskey all night
Find a myself a woman, pick myself a fight
I’ll wind up in the boneyard if my ass don’t land in jail
I’m out getting hammered, she’s at home getting nailed
And I try to do my best when I lay us down to rest
You just turn your head and pretend
And now I’m choking on my pride, you got something on the side
Why does it have to be with my best friend
He’s been sneaking lie a mouse
In and out this house, he won’t even look me in the eye
And I’ll tell you something what
Don’t let the door hit your big butt
When I say adios and goodbye
Gonna go down to the tavern drink some whiskey all night
Find a myself a woman, pick myself a fight
I’ll wind up in the boneyard if my ass don’t land in jail
I’m out getting hammered, she’s at home getting nailed
I go to work every day and try to earn my pay
So I can bring it on home to you
But we’re always out of food and you’re never in the mood
When I’m gone I wonder what you do
Gonna go down to the tavern drink some whiskey all night
Find a myself a woman, pick myself a fight
I’ll wind up in the boneyard if my ass don’t land in jail
I’m out getting hammered, she’s at home getting nailed
I’m out getting hammered, she’s at home getting nailed
I’m out getting hammered, she’s at home getting nailed

On The Way
03:16

One man working in the dark mine
Another basking in the sunshine
Starts a rumbling on the sideline
Another soul is on the way
Another soul is on the way
Gonna meet the one to whom they pray
Flying somewhere out of sight
Through walls of time
Fast as light
Lets hope this night don’t get much colder
Before the morning meets the soldier
With a rifle on their shoulder
Another soul is on the way
Another soul is on the way
Gonna meet the one to whom they pray
Flying somewhere out of sight
Through walls of time
Fast as light
Best hit the road before its too late
Somewhere to go and she cant wait
One last time to set the record straight
Another soul is on the way
Another soul is on the way
Gonna meet the one to whom they pray
Flying somewhere out of sight
Through walls of time
Fast as light
Another soul is on the way

Early Times
03:46

|

I’m just an honest, ordinary guy
You won’t see me beg or steal
But times are getting tough
I think I’ve had enough
And this is how I feel
I’m gonna take down technology
Chop down the money tree
Settle back to early times
Burn all the evidence
Arrest the government
Put it all on the line
Things are not as simple as they used to be
I’m a man above his means
As this world keeps on spinning
Round and round and round
The crazier it seems
Takedown technology
Chop down the money tree
Settle back to early times
Burn all the evidence
Arrest the government
Put it all on the line
Our buildings scrape the heavens
Still we choose to climb
Can’t read the writing on the wall
All we need to know the further in the sky we go
The further we will fall
Takedown technology
Chop down the money tree
Settle back to early times
Burn all the evidence
Arrest the government
Put it all on the line
Takedown technology
Chop down the money tree
Settle back to early times
Burn all the evidence
Arrest the government
Put it all on the line
Put it all on the line
Put it all on the line
