The Mountain
05:58

I see all kinds of colors in my head
They're gold and burning red
Yesterday seems miles away
I'm looking for my free ride home
It's not black or white, cause overnight the sky was grey
So I have learned to float on the rain
Yesterday seems miles away now
And I'm looking for my free ride home
Lady in the sky
Why don't you just know the answer why?
Maybe I'll go to the mountain
You know freedom is always on my side
Lady, in the sky
Make me feel good just for a while
Maybe, go to the mountain
you know freedom, is always on my mind

Doohickey

Made a little wish when I was born
Live in a little bitty world of fun
50 days and 50 nights
That’s half to a hundred if I’m right
How is it you look so fine
When ya do a little dance in the ol’ moonlight
Took a left turn I thought was right
And I slept in my car last night
Took a little gas to fill it up
Rev that little engine up
My best friend is my little dog
And he does a pretty good job
You don’t gotta to fall for me
You don't gotta fall
You don't gotta fall for me
You don’t gotta to fall for me
You don't gotta fall
You don't gotta fall for me
I don’t smoke no cigarettes
But I’m pretty good with a fishing net
Get a little one on the end of the line
Bring it home for suppertime
Pretty little town where I grew up
I gotta job that’s good enough
I gotta good job and it pays
But I will never been the same
Put a little sunscreen on my face
Look up at the sun anyway
You walk around with foxes on
But I would live in a box of sun
Tangled up in wire
The angle backfired
Am I an angel or just too high?
I got a couple chickens in the coop
I don’t mind a little bit of poop
If you take your love away
I would trade A couple eggs
Not the only one with my desires
It’s a fact of every life
Got a little tent up in the hills
Take an earthquake to sink or spill
Johnny made his apples grow
But I don’t have a seed to sow
Socrates was flesh and bone
But wisdom left me all alone

Honeybee
04:26
|

I have a story to tell so listen well
“Friends are just old enemies”
She rang true like a warning bell
“Careful with your company”
Silent like a honeybee
“You fly so close to death”
Killing you is killing me
“Now there’s no one left”
On that day my time had come, and she stung me dead
I did no wrong just sang my song, but I was laid to rest
When at last I could not sing, she turned back to say…
“I will be what I’m born to be, there's nothing you can change.”
Can’t you see you’re killing me, what did I do to you?
Man will never understand, but it seems all right to do
Remedy for all you see hides inside of you
I will be what I’m born to be
I will be what I’m born to be
I will be what I’m born to be
I will be what I’m born to be

Carry Me
07:04
|
|||
No longer prisoned, roaming free
No force of wisdom can punish me
My gamblin money slips away
And it's too late now to change my ways
A ghost in plain sight illuminates
By my porch light I see it sway
And while my window shudders shake
I won't forget my last mistake
If red hot fire be my death
I want to walk out with nothing left
And like a miner digging coal
My soul is empty, my body's cold
With a shovel I dig my grave
This road had ended, no soul to save
There's no shelter from howlin wind
Dripping thunder under my skin
My days of hard luck have come and gone
My life of sin is catching on
My days of hard luck have come and gone
My life of sin and slinging guns
Break me open and take my soul
Gonna ditch my heavy load
I used to fly now I float
Going to find my golden coast
Carry Me, Carry Me, Carry Me, Carry Me

Maybe Mississippi
05:30

Traveling the country for a while
Traveling the country for a while
Papa he needs a little time
And mama can’t stop her crying
Don’t know why i’m feeling bad
Don’t know why I’m feeling bad
It’s the worst feeling I’ve ever had
As the miles go by so fast
Seen it all and it all looks pretty
From Kokomo all the way to Kansas City
In Jackson there’s a real nice lady
And she said...she’ll be my Mississippi lets me
Oh maybe Mississippi!
Third stone from the sun of Fire
Where the weather’s gone bad the water is too high
Villain on the loose cuz he lost his mind
Too amazed to just stand by
The queen she did her tricks for you
And disaster saved room for two
Wide blue ring of desert and sky
The ocean underneath my eyes
Working on a slow and steady rise
Working on a slow and steady rise
Going to meet my maker in the sky
But my blues will never-ever die
Seen it all and it all looks pretty
From Kokomo all the way to Kansas City
In Jackson there’s a real nice lady
And she said...she’ll be my Mississippi lets me
Oh maybe Mississippi!
Seen ‘em all and they all look shitty
Without my lil’ darlin’ Mississippi
She’s tied down in Jackson now, forever is way to long.
Forever is way too long!

Little Things

YOU ARE, YOU ARE SO MANY LITTLE THINGS TO ME
YOU ARE, YOU ARE SO MANY LITTLE THINGS TO ME
THE SAND SO DARK, BURYING THE BEACH
THE SAND SO DARK, BURYING THE BEACH
BIZZARE, ALL THE LITTLE THINGS I BREATHE
BIZZARE, ALL THE LITTLE THINGS I BREATHE
SEA STAR, SEA STAR SWIMMING IN THE SEA
SEA STAR, SEA STAR SWIMMING IN THE SEA
Cancel my plans for today
I'm taking a trip far away
My body bends and breaks
Over little things I can't control
YOU ARE, YOU ARE SO MANY LITTLE THINGS TO ME
YOU ARE, YOU ARE SO MANY LITTLE THINGS TO ME

Indigo
07:18

Twenty-three years moving through my mind
I’m amazed they got me here
Now my heart is jumping, it won't stop flying
And I smile from ear to ear
And I can hear you laughin' in my head
Won’t you laugh out loud instead?
So I play a melody
For the girl who changed my world
You got that slow hold on me
You got that loving that I need
Like everything I do is for you
I get my indigo from you
You got that something in between
All of my thoughts and all my dreams
You let down your hair, I climb the castle wall
Once I saw you, girl, I didn’t need to see ‘em all
Coming like a rainstorm, a empty sky
Wide and furious
It’s like a hurricane…hits me
And the waves are coming up
Let me go, let me go, let me down easy
Just don’t make me choose
When I’m the only one I feel crazy
Carolina’s killin’ my blues
Violet to blue,
I get my indigo from you

Goner
03:17
|

Too much time in a day
Too much time to burn
Half the time anyway
Light a fire just to watch it burn
In a mine below the town
Came a rumble a gunshot now
Sure as shootin’ he’d go down
Make the devil feel so proud
LOOKING HIGH
SEARCHING LOW
KEEP AN EYE ON CODEEJO
JUST REMEMBER HE ALREADY KNOWS
HOW HE DIES, WHERE HE GOES
HOW HE DIES, WHERE HE GOES
Montana, carry me
To a heaven I can see
I’m a goner probably so please
When I’m gone remember me
One more band is swinging
One more singer singing
One more life is living but mine has come and gone
One more smoker is smokin’
One more crow is crowin’
Cause he knows its just one step away…
Just one step away...
He was gunned down in a hole
He was gunned down in a hole
Don’t know how life unfolds
You could wind up dead in a hole

Pure Devil Blues
10:56

You better run
While the world stands still
You better run
Earthquakes can kill
She’s the kind of girl
Who wears her hair upright
But when she wants to boy
She’ll wear you down all night
She’s the kind of girl
Erase your memory
She’s the kind of girl
Won't give her love for free
Two thousand times
I’ve been down that road
The sunset mile
Looks like a ghost
Sidewalks are bare
To all you bring
The western air
The old feeling
Those sorrowed eyes
Of endlessness
Eternal bend
Of godlessness
Running wild…I was
Gunning miles past the
Cunning, that devil in her eyes
She’s a…fine super
Creature…She's like the
poison…that tangles in my mind
