Linen Dress

This ain’t my first rodeo
She bit her lip leaned back and smiled
Don’t move to fast take it slow
Stick around if you like my style
A floral print on a linen dress in the moonlight
Lord is alright, it’s alright by me
The papers are signed I’m free to go
The scars left here are love’s fault
She took my money to Ohio
Are you ready for a fresh start
A floral print on a linen dress in the moonlight
Lord is alright, it’s alright by me
A floral print on a linen dress in the moonlight
Lord is alright, it’s alright by me
I bide my time sitting up here toiling away
I ain’t know poet these are just things I hear people say
I may be living in the Lord’s house but doing the Devil’s work
But I’m not that jerk
This ain’t my first time alone
It’ll be my last we’re too old
Pick up your coat put down the phone
This is no recital this is rock and roll
A floral print on a linen dress in the moonlight
Lord is alright, it’s alright by me
A floral print on a linen dress in the moonlight
Lord is alright, it’s alright by me
A floral print on a linen dress in the moonlight
Lord is alright
It’s alright

Cassandra what will it take to make it right
Cassandra hold on to me with all your might
The road is long this place is nowhere near the end
Cassandra I’ll kiss you on the cheek again
This is not goodbye
Lay back and close your eyes
Share your smile with the night time sky
How I think of you
In the summertime you are the warmth again my skin
When the sun is high I am the shade you roll within
When you walk on by I’ve got to take a leap of faith
Cassandra I know you best be on your way
This is not goodbye
Lay back and close your eyes
Share your smile with the night time sky
How I think of you, I think of you
Cassandra, there’s one thing left for you to know
Cassandra, ain’t it time we said hello
This is not goodbye
Lay back and close your eyes
Share your smile with the night time sky
How I think of you, I think of you
Cassandra

Decatur Street

I saw Jesus with my Angel
Walking down Decatur Street
I saw a woman who once loved me
I hang my head in defeat
I thought I was wise but what did I know
I thought I was right but I had no reason
Go away I scream in fear
I can’t let go! That moment of regret
You followed me here from another year
I stand in line with those who drink to forget
I pray to your picture I keep in my pocket
Your standing afar sun shining on your face
I saw Jesus with my Angel
Walking down Decatur Street
I saw Jesus with my Angel
Walking down Decatur Street
I know a boy who became a man
Beat and battered for his life he pled
She was judge and jury the trial began
Man and wife by the verdict, I do, she said
I see my face in the bottom of a glass
Wink back at me as I throw it in the trash
I see your eyes in headlights that I pass
Driving me back to doorsteps from my past
Don’t go, don’t stop, don’t give in
Love is the way we wash away our sins
Thank you for the days that you gave to me
Thank you for the nights and the mornings too
I lost your trust that I see
I’m sorry for the time I took from you
So now you’re out with brand new friends
And a man with a beard, long hair, and a smile
I saw Jesus with my Angel
Walking down Decatur Street
I saw a woman who once loved me
I hang my head in defeat
I know a boy who became a man
Beat and battered for his life he pled
She was judge and jury the trial began
Man and wife by the verdict, I do, she said
I saw Jesus with my Angel

Two Step

How many nights must I lie here beside you
Knowing you don’t want me after all of these years
I sit by my window I see the land that we got here
I draw down my shade to keep the light from my tears
We danced in the Springtime to Wheatley and Dean
You’ll smile shined over the Bay in-between
We laughed on the stair when I took off your shoe
You cried in my arms when the captain passed away
Dance a two step at midnight
Swing softly with me
Dance a two step at midnight
And bring back your love to me
I trembled inside as you walked to the alter
I felt your heart beating as we stood hand in hand
Now here we stand 20 years after
All that I ask can I still be your man
Dance a two step at midnight
Swing softly with me
Dance a two step at midnight
And bring back your love to me
And bring back your love to me

Moments

Some old memory woke me up today
You’re calling from some lonesome highway
If you’re leaving because you think you must
I’ll be here burning the day away
While my words disappear into dust
You’re driving far away from us
Turn around if you’ve something to say
Before you smile and fade away.
I’ve been bruised and I’ve been battered
By the things that don’t matter
Chip away
Always find myself holding on
To moments long dead and gone
Like worry beads fumbling through hands
I kneed them through until I’m damned
I’ve been bruised and I’ve been battered
By the things that don’t matter
Chip away, chip away
If my heart has hardened into stone
Chip away the rock what’s left can build a home
Hold on to what time has weathered away
It can be assembled to start a new day
Always chasing some new shiny thing
My hopes drift apart like broken rings
I guess I’ll grab my things and go
And find a new memory for tomorrow.
I’ve been bruised and I’ve been battered
By the things that don’t matter
Chip away, chip away, chip away, chip away

Whenever I'm Down
04:05

Another one’s up another one comes down
On the ground
Another one’s up I have found
Faces on the streets tonight
Look different by the fire light
Another one’s up whenever I am down
On the ground
One more bottoms up that I down
But I’m walking again
It’s Spring time my friend
All my money has gone away
All my friends are here to stay
Oh my honey she’s gone away
Good times will come back some day
No body says what’s up when ever I am down
On the town
Everyone’s up when I bum around
Don’t park me by the side of the road
Light a fire we’ll shake off the cold
Another one’s up whenever I am down
On the ground
Ain’t easy getting up when everybody is down at sundown
Now I got a job to do
I’ll be there how about you
All my money has gone away
All my friends are here to stay
Oh my honey she’s gone away
Good times will come back some day
All my money has gone away
All my friends are here to stay
Oh my honey she’s gone away
Good times will come back some day
Good times will come back some day
Good times will come back some day

Run away to some Mississippi town
Thought I saw Elvis he’s pushing 80 now
We’ll find work here my uncle says
Ain’t no drilling got keep my baby fed
Smell of oil still rides the wind
No oysters offered at the Sea Side Inn
It’s not my fault I need the pay
When the company calls we go to work that day
Her tears are made of sunshine
Her love goes down like moonshine
Still waters roll over me
Let my body drift out to sea
Boarded up schools rust where water flowed
Dust cover the corner drug’s empty rows
Would love to change my life and do what’s right
Will “right” put food on my table tonight
You have your jacket and your tie the costume of a bureaucrat
I fix your car wearing dungarees
You’ve been to Paris I’ve been to Lorton I’ve walked your dogs while you dined with kings
But have you been from sea to shining sea
Her tears are made of sunshine
Her love goes down like moonshine
Still waters roll over me
Let my body drift out to sea
Her tears are made of sunshine
Her love goes down like moonshine
Still waters roll over me
Let my body drift out to sea
Let my body drift out to sea
Let my body drift out to sea
Let my body drift out to sea
Let my body drift out to sea
Let my body drift out to sea

Change
03:29
|

A wink and a smile can go a long way
Just when you think you’re here to stay
A change comes ‘cause nothing stays the same
But it’s gotta be this way, it’s always been this way
Now I can cry and freak out and break down
It makes a lot of sense when you’re around
Nothing feels good ‘cause no one likes to change
But it’s gotta be this way, it’s always been this way
And it’s bloody and it’s mean and it’s lonesome and it’s cold
When the things you love start to get old
And nothing feels good ‘cause no one likes to change
But it’s gotta be this way, it’s always been this way
I can learn to let it go
Let the autumn sky begin to snow
I’ve learned to love the highs and lows
But it’s gotta be this way, it’s always been this way
And it’s bloody and it’s mean and it’s lonesome and it’s cold
When the things you love start to get old
And nothing feels good ‘cause no ones likes to change
It’s always been this way
It’s always been this way
It’s always been this way
