A Road Less Taken
02:46

The work gets rough in the factory
You should be off by a quarter to three
By example you will see
A road less taken
The white bird cries, a bluebird sings
Locked in their cage so sad to see
A black bird flies so high & free
High above me
Life sneaks by what can you do?
Slave until you’re black & blue
Follow freedom’s road sign to
A road less taken

Sanchez

Out in the street with Sanchez
Call the children to come in
I fire my gun straight up at the sun
Out in the street with my friend
Out on the road with Sanchez
Oh the places we have been
I don’t want no one to think less of me now
Out on the road with my friend
Out on the trail with Sanchez
Wipe the dust from my eyes
The sun’s coming up and the law ain’t on our side
Out on the trail with my friend

Go Away

Some people are blind
Some people can see
Some people become
Whatever they wanna be
So here’s a little story
Though, it might seem unkind
But somebody someday is
Gonna leave you far behind
Go away, go away, go away little friend
Don’t you come back again
When the summer is gone
I guess I don’t understand
As I looked into your eyes
I reached out for your hand
Did you think that maybe
It would be this way?
When I got up to leave
We both knew that I would stay

Darling

Miles & miles from home
I’ve got nothing except undying will
No nickel in my pocket so I sing songs
Oh, where did I go wrong?
And where did my darling go?
Drawn by the sound
Of the suffering crowds we know
Quite a meditative stare
Such a spiritual jewel
The absolute object of affection
Just can’t be won by the fool
And where did my darling go?
Drawn by the sound
Of the suffering crowds we know
The flowers in her hair
The flower pedals that get left behind
Tell me all your secrets if you want dear
But you left before I got to tell you mine
Just when did my darling go?
Drawn by the sound
Of the suffering crowds we know

The Cold Cold Water
02:56
|

I don’t know what the truth is
But I know it’s not the look in your eyes
Every time I see you
You always act surprised
Your exaggerated expressions
Your tone & the words that you say
You say you have nothing to live for
Do you always lie this way?
The water is deep and it’s cold
You struggle but you never learned to swim
I held my hand out to pull you in
But you laughed and said “You’re not him”
So I’ll leave you in the cold cold water
I’ll leave you behind so you can drown
But you’ll come runnin’ to me baby
The moment I’m not around

Gonna sing my song
Hope I get it right
Gonna tell my brother
Got to speak my mind
Got to tell my brother tonight
Hope to set things right
Getting off this world
Once it stops turning
Hope you’re not surprised
But it was frightening
Gonna sing my song
Hope I get it right
While the music shines
Before the last note fades
Hope I won’t be telling myself
“Oh, the songs I might have made”
Fields & fields of white light
Fields & fields of light
Hope I find that road you’re on
Long before the break of dawn
Fields & fields of white light
Fields & fields of light
Hope I find that road you’re on
Long before I’m dead & gone
Fields & fields of white light
Fields & fields of light

Still We Ride
02:27
|
|||
|
Up the road & round the bend
Hoist the anchor raise the flags
In rain & snow & thundering hail
Pray the winds will fill the sails
Through the desert, on the go
Onto the shores of Mexico
Fifteen lawmen on our trail
And to the end we will prevail
A twist of fate did manifest
Such weary men they did arrest
Remembering that sound we hate
The clanging of that prison gate
I see a bird up in the sky
It circle’s round so very high
Now far away & bound for glory
But 25 years is mandatory so
I’ll say goodbye

Ode to a Friend
02:30
|

Without you my friend
Could I make it another cold & lonely night?
You sit & talk until I feel alright
Thank you my friend
Well hello my friend
I just can’t think of anything you wouldn’t do
And there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for you
So thank you my friend
It nearly was the perfect plan
To sit & wonder how it might have been
But I was so blind
And I’m really glad you are here my friend

Lost Girl Blues

One more drink little girl
Have one more drink little girl
Just one more drink
So you don’t have to feel
And you don’t have to think
Just one more drink little girl
Who all here’s got to know?
I said who all here’s got to know?
Your contempt draws near
Now you’re cutting me down
Like I’m not even here
Said who all here’s got to know?
You just don’t understand
I said you just don’t understand
Where my words unclear?
Now you try to be brave
But there’s nobody near
I said you just don’t understand
Is that all you can say?
Is that all you have to say?
Did you lose your mind?
Or forget everything with a bottle of wine
And is that all you have to say?
One last thing before I’m gone
This one last thing before I’m gone
Just one more thing
Do you think I’ll survive
Without the sorrow you bring
Just one last thing before I’m gone

Jasper my friend
Where have you gone to now?
You left me at the bitter end
So far away from home
Jasper my friend
I know you’re gonna be too late
But when the others fail
I know you’ll come through again
Jasper where’d you go
When the story fades?
You’ll be the hero in the end
Then they’re gonna be your friend
