Old Mother Jones

​

She'll be comin' 'round the mountain
When she comes
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain
When she comes
She'll be ridin' six black horses
Ridin' six black horses
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain
When she comes

Oh, Suzanna
Won't you cry for me
Well, I come from Louisanna
With the six string on my knee

We'll all be comin' out to meet her
When she comes
We'll be killin' the old red rooster when
When she comes
Comin' out to meet her
Killin' the old red rooster
Singin' Hallelujah
When she comes

Oh, Suzanna
Oh, Suzanna 

She'll be comin' 'round the mountain
When she comes
She'll be ridin' six white horses
When she comes
Y'all be comin out to meet her
Shoutin' Hallelujah
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain
When she comes 


Oh, Suzanna
Won't you cry for me
Well, I come from Louisanna
With the six string on my knee

Born Into The Fire

​

Born into the fire
Down in Mississippi
Burnin' with the crosses
Hallowed be thy name

Drinkin' with the Devil
Sippin' on his whiskey
Beggin' for the hound dogs
Howlin' at my name

Oh, Mississippi
Fire and Flame

Oh, Mississippi
Fire in my veins

Diggin' for the boss man
Draggin' on my chains
Born into the Fire
Burning in the sun

Back door at the jailhouse
Slippin' off them chains
Searchin' for the Devil
Down Highway 61


Oh, Mississippi
Fire and Flame

Oh, Mississippi
Fire in my veins

Hallowed be thy name

Born into the fire
Down in Mississippi
Searchin' for the Devil
Down Highway 61

 

Falling From Grace

​

People hide their faces
Too ashamed off what think what they've  Become
Remembering the places
Hauntingly familiar places when they're from

Too much to achieve
Too hard to believe
The sky's falling down

Chances that were taken
Mistakes that we have made along the way
Getting lost in pages 
Of a book you wish your life was written from

The spirit's been broken
The secrets were spoken
And the wave's crashing down

Falling from grace

And now you're falling

​

They try to pull you closer
But all they're really doing is pushing you  Away
It's lonely in your shadow
And all you want to do is step into the light

Your spirit's been broken
Your secrets were spoken
And the waves crashing down

Too much to achieve
Too hard to believe
The sky's falling down

Falling from grace
 

Father Ryan

​

Mother, don't you understand?
Don't need a hand
Time to come out of the nest
And learn to fly

Sister, she don't know the way
To this day
Try to figure out who she is
And why

So far from home
No where to roam

Father, I am just a man
With a plan
And I hope some day that 
You will understand

Brother, stand and fight the fight
Wrong or right
No matter what
I always be here by your side

Far from home
So far from home
Far from home
No where to roam
Far from home
Take me back
Where I belong

People, they don't tend to see
Judging me
Try to tell me who they think that
I should be

Far from home Far from home
So far from home
Far from home
No where to roam
Far from home
Take me back
Where I belong

Fever

​

Some people think I'm a loser
But most people don't even think
Now I'm a victim of seeing the future
Sifting through the lies and the pain
It's like we're living in a pit full of vipers
A place where truth is a weapon of flame

I'm a weapon of this revolution
I'm a storm comin' in from the sea
I'm a victim of this evolution
Can you feel the rage inside of me?

We got a fever

You got maryters high on the mountains
Trying to tell us what to do and to say
And when the innocence loses it's virtue
And the sickness is all that remains
And when the truth is a weapon of fire
We all start looking for somebody to blame 

I'm a weapon of this revolution
I'm a storm comin' in from the sea
I'm a victim of this evolution
Can you feel the rage inside of me?

We got a fever

Feel the temperature rising
Feels like we'll burst into flame
And when the truth is a weapon of fire
We all start looking for somebody to blame 

I'm a weapon of this revolution
I'm a storm comin' in from the sea
I'm a victim of this evolution
Can you feel the rage inside of me?

We got a fever

Lay Down Your Arms

​

And when you're runnin' for your life
It's like a razor sharpened knife
Cuttin' right into your soul
Some heads are gonna roll

When there's no one else to blame
We all hang our heads in shame
Now it's time for us to choose
Which one will win or lose

So lay down your arms
It's time to lay down your arms

When the battlefield is home
Which one will cast the stone
To bring it crashing to the ground?
We're goin' 'round and 'round

When you're feeling you've lost
Which one will pay the cost 
Of playin' in the game?
It's time for us to change

So lay down your arms
It's time to lay down your arms

It's whether or not to fight
When it's stake is love
We're letting it drag us down
Instead of rising above
Remember what used to be?
Just you or me, the history
Breaking down all the walls
This time the fall
Well, it just might kill us

And when the line is in the sand
Whose gonna get the upper hand?
It's almost out of our reach
Now it's time to storm the beach
And when we're beatin' down and dazed
The surrender flag is raised
Now no one wins the fight
There is no wrong or right

So lay down your arms
It's time to lay down your arms
You've got to lay down your arms

 

Let's Go For A Ride

​

Every single day when I'm looking in the Mirror
I wipe it off, now things are getting clearer
And I say to myself
And then I say it again
That getting up was worth it
And today is going to bring
The crazy feeling that makes me want to sing
"What a beautiful day to go for a ride"

Well I don't have much money
And I didn't get paid
Can I borrow some scratch?
And we'll be on our way

I promise everything will be alright

Let's go for a ride

Let me turn the key 
And then I'll look to my side
Shades flipped up 
You've got that look in your eye
And I say to myself
And then I say it again
That getting up was worth it
And today is going to bring
The crazy feeling that makes me want to sing
"What a beautiful day to go for a ride"

Let's go for a ride
 
Every day when I look in the mirror
I wipe it off and the thing's getting clearer
And I say to myself
And then I'll say it again
That getting up was worth it
And today is going to bring
A crazy feeling that makes me want to sing
"What a beautiful day"

We can cruise to the tunes on the radio
Leave it all behind
Now, it's time to go
I promise everything will be alright
Let's go for a ride

Moon Under Water

​

Your eyes are always telling me something
A certain look could say the trouble is a world Away
Your eyes are always showing me something
We'll pack our bag, we catch a plane
And then we fly away
Now we're on our way
To live a new day

Your eyes are always giving me something
Like the shimmer of the waves in the morning Surf
Your eyes are always glowing with something
We'll climb aboard
We'll ride the waves
Now we're on our way
To live a new day

We'll sail away, sail away
The best part of the dream is coming along
We'll sail away, sail away
You're the reason I keep on strumming this Song
Like the time we wandered off along the Windy beach
And found ourselves

At Moon Under Water
 

We'll pack a bag to catch a plane
And then we'll fly away 

We'll sail away, sail away
The best part of the dream is coming along
We'll sail away, sail away
You're the reason I keep on strumming this Song
Like the time we wandered off along a windy Beach
And found ourselves

At Moon Under Water 

It's like the time we ran through puddles on the Rainy street
And found ourselves
At Moon Under Water

 

My Life

​

I'll tell you my life story
If you want to lend an ear
I think it's sad but funny
You just might want to hear
I'll tell you 'bout my troubles
All about my stumbles
Alone in the dark
Then you came walkin' in
And turned on the light
To my heart

You can tell me your life's story  
But if you haven't got the time
You can tell me 'bout your hurries
Later on that'd be just fine
We'll talk about past lovers
Maybe 'bout the weather
Stories we've heard
We'll talk about life's lessons
Maybe some confessions
Can't be that bad

Well maybe we can get together
Where we could be alone
We'll talk about the future
Until I have to take you home

Now we know each other's story
But we're running out of time
We always say don't worry
Because everything is fine
Maybe we can get together
Where we could be alone
I know you are my future
You have my heart
Let's go home

The One

​

She knows all about me
So she thinks she does
Thinks she does
She thinks I feel the same way
How could she be so wrong?
Be so wrong

Never be the one
She's got stars in her eyes
Never be the one
She believes all her lies


Try and try to fake it
Don't push too hard or you'll break it
You'll break it
Should I tell, but just how?
She's alright for now
Alright for now 

Never be the one
She's got stars in her eyes
Never be the one
She believes all her lies
She'll never be the one

I was runnin' around like your
Foolin' me, schoolin' me
Cool as me
But you ain't got that look in like
You're fallin' from grace
Sucker's tellin' 'cause they're lookin' 
At the look on your face
You play a good game 
At follow the leader
So I'll lead you, feed you
Anything but need you
And when the working day is done
 
She'll never be the one
 
He talks shit behind my back
And puts the knife in deep
It's in too deep
Reach around to pull it out
The secrets never keep
They never keep

Never be the one
She's got stars in her eyes
Never be the one
She believes all her lies

Never be the one

Shrink

​

Is "Everything Sharing" just a bit too much,
When all you're looking for is a place to trust?
Try thinkin' back, diggin' up the past
But you better hurry 'cause your time won't Last
 
Start singing
Nah,Nah

Tell it to the shrink

Never wanted to sleep with my mom
Felt a little bit cracked when I got back from 'Nam
He tells me that
"Still waters, they run deep"
He'll find the secrets that your soul can't keep

Start singing
Nah,Nah

Tell me what you think

Or tell it to the shrink

He likes to walk around inside your mind
Kicking over rocks to see what he can find
He tells you that your afraid of life and that You're scared to death
And you'll probably be this way until you draw your final breath

Start singing
Nah,Nah

Tell me what you think 

Or tell it to the shrink

So Sorry

​

Everything changes when you come around
You come around again
When everyone scatters and everything shatters
You think I'm your only friend 

I'm so sorry
That you're always in distress
I'm so sorry
That you never past the test

You blew it

Everyone changes when you come around
You come around again
When everything that you do and you say
Turns into a five act play
When all of your talkin' turns into a stalkin'
It keeps going like this every day
Everything changes when you come around
Why don't you just go away?

I'm so sorry
That you're never on display
I'm so sorry 
That you never get your way
I'm so sorry 
That your life is such a mess
I'm so sorry
That you never passed the test 

And every time you come around in such disarray
And it seems so hard to believe
That every time we try to kick your ass out the door
You tell us that you'll never leave

Oh,no
C'mon, man
Why don't you go?

Everything changes when you come around
You're so contagious when you come around

I'm so sorry
That you're never in the right
I'm so sorry 
That you never win the fight 
You're so sorry
That your life is such a mess
I'm so sorry 
That you never passed the test

You blew it 

Sundown Town

​

Way down in a sundown town
It's not too safe to walk around
If your a man of color
You'd better run for cover
The sun is settin' on you now

And it's time to change our ways, sister
Time to hold our heads high, brother
If we can't turn this town around
Then we'll burn it to the ground
We don't need no sundown town

Started walkin' around this dirty little town
Wandering there and here is what I found
When the color of you're skin decides if you Lose or if you win
That's just f*%*n'  bulls**t to me

And it's time to stand and unite, sisters
Time to join the fight, brothers
If we can't turn this town around
Then we'll burn it to the ground
We don't need no sundown town
 
Well I hope and I pray maybe one day
Rise above and see eye to eye
I don't ask why, I don't know when
All I know is it'll never end

Less we change our ways, sister
Less we hold our heads high, brothers
If we can't turn this town around
Then we'll burn it to the ground
We don't need no sundown town

We've got to stand and unite, sisters
Time to join the fight, brothers 
If we can't burn it to the ground
Then we'll turn this thing around

We don't need no sundown town
