Wild Water 06:09
lyrics
buy track
November comes again, indiscriminate northwest wind then December and I remember, words so tough and words so tender Can’t take back words never spoken, a promise never made is a promise broken You and I were too young to know, where the wild water flows and where the dust from your boot heels goes, when that northwest wind blows it all away But 14 soon turns 41 and there’s more left to do than has been done There’s wild water in the bucket, when you kick it it rolls away Wild water dies in the river unless rain sets it free There’s love that you’re born with there is love you’ll never find sometimes your love grows most in those you left behind As young boys do we fought like fools with fists and words, sometimes cruel but mostly we just got along, a brothers love like a river runs deep and strong but rivers split and stones tumble, trees fall in and cutbanks crumble away There’s wild water in the bucket, when you kick it it rolls away Wild water dies in the river unless rain sets it free There’s love that you’re born with there is love you’ll never find sometimes your love grows most in those you left behind God damn it’s getting cold, January makes young men old out where the memories freeze like ice on the branches of dead old trees The trees that young boys climb are the trees that grown men leave behind too soon Still can’t drive that county road, still get sad when the snow starts to blow bouncin’ off the headlight beams, when you’re wild the world is mean sometimes you can try not to cry like your mammas boy, but if you don’t let go the pain can destroy a man There’s wild water in the bucket, when you kick it it rolls away Wild water dies in the river unless rain sets it free There’s love that you’re born with there is love you’ll never find sometimes your love grows most in those you left behind Can’t stand February, a desperate thaw like tears on the prairie They say lonely men die alone, where the wild seed’s sown There’s ice on the river waitin’ for the sun, to make it wild and let itrun again You’re ice on the river waitin’ for the sun, to make you wild and let you run again

Burnin 05:54
lyrics

I moved 12 times before I was 12, never got to throw down any roots Always was the new kid and I never learned to tell the truth Sometimes, I lie awake at night I hear that kids voice in my mind Tellin’ me to keep movin’ Lord keep movin’ down the line And theres always somethin’ burnin’ up behind me And theres always smoke up around the bend I hope when I’m gone you’ll remember me I was always burnin’ at both ends There’s a train rhythm in my head all the time Sometimes that’s the smile you see Tellin’ me to keep movin’ Lord keep movin’ down the line I guess I’m just the son of a middle border Just a line that always bends Sometimes I feel like I’m just shooting sparks across the sky burnin’, burnin’, burnin’, burnin’ Always burnin’ at both ends When I think back on all the times I nearly died It’s still less than all the times I’ve lived I’ve been punched and kicked and kissed and stomped on but I’ve always tried to forgive And theres always somethin’ burnin’ up behind me And theres always smoke up around the bend I hope when I’m gone you’ll remember me I was always burnin’ at both ends

Smoke 'Em 03:55

Been working like a dog 6 days a week, all there is, is worry, work, eat and sleep Paycheck gravity always pushin’ down on me, Got both ends fightin’ just to get to the middle, red state blue state, it’s your ass on the griddle poor is poor no matter where you come from Broken pieces fall to the bottom Pick em up boys Smoke ‘em if ya got em They tell you there’s no jobs and the other guy’s to blame downsized morality they have no shame If you don’t speak the language go back where you came from Ain’t no use fightin’ at the bottom Pick em up boys Smoke em if you got em Locks just keep an honest man honest, while the crooks count the money inside Long as they keep ya fightin’ with each other, you won’t see em steal you blind Their pennies and their prayers are the only thing that trickles down Ain’t no use fightin at the bottom Pick em up girls Smoke em if ya got em

I would feed you honey, from a golden spoon bathe you in forgiveness underneath a champagne moon Let it pour I would be your honeysuckle, sweet on the vine wrap you in forgiveness, leave those bad things behind Let it pour Let it pour The past is water baby, Let it pour I see you cryin makes me feel like dyin inside You can’t live if your livin’ on that water gone by I would be your rain water, wash away your pain underneath the rainbow you would never be afraid Let it pour Let it pour The past is water baby, Let it pour We all have our sadness In between the moon and the madness It’s alright to cry about it just don’t drown in tears gone by The past is only there if you let it know you care set you free (Set Free) Let it pour Let it pour Gonna let it pour Let it pour Let it pour Gonna let it pour Hey oh The past is water let it pour its all right yeah It’s all right good people It’s all right just let it pour The past is only there if you let it know you care set you free (set you free)

Hard Times 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Hold my breath and count to a hundred, maybe count to a hundred and ten get up wash the blood from my face, and do it all over again First one in cuts the limes and lemons, Second one takes out the trash liquorman delivers at 3, but now we gotta pay him cash It’s hard times, hard times, hard times out there Hard times, hard times, but it’s always good times in here Afternoons are quiet and the walls are still smiling at the fools that have walked through the door but it’s the fools that walk out and cause all the trouble, when they’re told they can’t come back no more A Wednesday always smells like a Wednesday, but Saturday never smells the same Sometimes it’s just a whisper and the promise of Sunday morning’s walk of shame It’s hard times, hard times, hard times out there Hard times, hard times, but it’s always good times in here This part of town is as rough as you make it, or as smooth as you want it to be The high plains ghosts in this city of grifters ain’t got time for your hipster scene only good crowd is a crowd that’s drinking, that’s never a problem around here You become a regular if you regularly come by and buy everybody a beer It’s hard times, hard times, hard times out there Hard times, hard times, but it’s always good times in here

Just Dance 03:58
lyrics

Sometimes we’re all hurtin’ from a peak behind the curtain Nothin’ is for certain that’s for sure Let’s hide inside the notes and spin out where the dance begins a place called the end of the world And let’s dance ’til the whole world dances along A dance is just place inside a place, inside a place we rarely go So let’s go… Let’s dance like vampires all night There’s nothin’ left to leave behind Let’s dance and let the worlds collide C’mon, c’mon good people now - Fuck It! Just Dance The world is just a drum awaiting greater animation from hearts with beats like ours that beat with joyous vibration with 808 drum beats and the sound that a soul makes when the DJ drops that love on the Five Let’s dance like vampires all night There’s nothin’ left to leave behind Let’s dance and let the worlds collide C’mon, c’mon good people now - Fuck It! Just Dance I look around the darkened room with flashing lights of green and blue the moment and the motion they are one time and space are realized, forever’s what it feel’s like Dancin’ at the end of the world….

You Alone 05:39

Junie was a blushing young bride a jewish princess from Chicago’s East Side A bouquet of feelings that she tried to hide She strapped me to her garter and said hang on for the ride You alone, know me You alone, show me You alone know There can be nobody else You alone He said Vermont looks good this time of year I hear the leaves are turnin’ gold He said I think I feel like growin’ old with you She said I know I love you but what’s a girl to do You alone, know me You alone, show me You alone know There can be nobody else You alone You alone, know me You alone, show me You alone know There can be nobody else You alone
