Lord, I’m lost in my hometown. Got More on my mind and there aint nothin stranger than a stranger who used to be a friend of mine. Can’t find nothin’ to settle me down. Tried everything I could find but the woman I loved- she tore me up. Now what you got from the vine….

Hate to be Lonely
What have I done? Look up at the sun. Hold my head high. Wonder why I don’t run. Been stealing kisses right from under her nose. Been out of my mind. Been out of my clothes. I don’t love her not like she loves me. Hate to be lonely, hard to be free. You know…
Good to be Back Home
Big spliff in the morning over coffee, bang on those bongos want to play. I got this rythm in my head I’ll be singing all day. My baby up and left me now I am far from alone. Someone is singing harmony. it’s good to be back home. it’s good to be back home. Gather…
Fish Head and Tales
I was running through some words when I came upon a pond where the ladies fish lies and the boys came from. There was a sign and I went closer to take a look. It said, Throw into me a penny and make a wish. But that is not the deal I undertook. First I…
Clean Socks
I don’t got no clean socks. I don’t want to small talk. I don’t want this pressure I only met her two day ago. I don’t think so I don’t know. She could be anyone. She could be anywhere. She could be holding him. O without a care. She could be anyone. She could be…
Muddy River
Coffee brown muddy river dark grey skies out from under blanket shiver off yellow sunrise. What’s this new day holdin? Hope, it’s a surprise. Wipe the rest out of my eyes. Old Nissan pickup covered up in frost. Chariot of good luck. Two die down the highway tossed. The preacher isn’t gamblin. The hobo isn’t…

Tin Can Coffee Cup
Tin can coffee cup beneath a weeping willow. I’m blue skyin’. Which way should I go. I’m strumming my guitar. To my right is a crossroad. To my left is a train passing slow. I wish I wouldn’t starve if I just sat and sang. That my friends would drop by. That I’d feel no…
Nowhere From Here To Go
There’s nowhere from here to go. There’s no place I feel like stayin’. Perhaps I’ve accomplished my goal but I got no home and it’s cold, I aint playin’. I sat by while the burning man burned. I rode by the houses and it was never my turn. I cracked jokes like eggs on the…
To You
Can’t talk to who’s not listenin’. Can’t tell ’em what they need to hear. Can’t show them what would open their eyes. If they saw you surprise, you disappear. It’s just such blindness, such deafness. Which is killing you slow and killing you sure. And there’s just no way they won’t be the poison. Just…
Summertime Bank
Won’t ya, won’t ya, won’t ya come on chickadee sing me, sing me, sing that song. River, river, river run on. I’m sleepin in the sun on a summertime bank. Stone skipped 33 (your age) times then sank. I’m learnin how to whistle and I’m sayin’ my thanks to the rolling hills of home. Starry,…
