I could just drop at any second,
Cause I’m living right on the limit.
Got to stand up and keep movin on.
This world a lot of angry got to crack a smile
It Ain’t no matter what they do or what they say
My life happens anyway so just as long as I am standing
I’m going to stay up late and rock it all night long.

Same Ole Notes
Angels breathe fire, Children dance long before they walk.
A world filled with desire and now the mechanical demons talk.
I can’t get no higher but the pain just won’t leave.
My preacher is a liar and now my cop is a thief.
While politicians turn traitor, warriors are dying in the street.
Lost children’s faces just remind me of who I used to be.
The haters are my brothers, the lovers are my friends.
They spend their time sitting around making so many endless battle plans.
It’s the same ole news on a different day.
A world gone crazy sometimes too dark to see.
Sometimes the dream gets lost in the fog and the drinks.
Turns out you only see what you wanted to be.
One side is on fire the other may drown.
Might be time to stand me up and get me out of this town.
Sister morphine in my dream don’t you know I need you now.
Get me out of here wake me up somehow.
It’s the same ole story told a different way.
A world gone crazy, tiny heads right on the TV.
The words so cold and the children cry.
Still our warriors are dying lying in the street.
It’s the same ole world as when I was 16.
Something told me you better run and I did not hesitate.
Now i see that I am not alone there are so many like me.
Trust me when I say you know your dream will fade into a reality.
It’s the same ole notes on a different day.
A world gone crazy sometimes too dark to see.
The childhood dream gets lost in the smoke and the trees.
But it turns out you are just who you pretended to be.
Why
Woke with a dream in the back of my head
About 50 years ago.
Teenage band in a greyhound station
Just a misfit traveling show.
No Destination just couldn’t go home.
We had no real place to go.
Running away in the dead of the night.
Begin a life out on the road.
Why did I run.
Why did I cry.
With no place to go.
No wings to fly.
Daddy’s back from a war.
With those voices in his head.
An Anger man filled with pride.
A broken family man.
Was it wrong the children ask.
He keeps it inside
The kids just see brutality.
Then the angels cried.
Why did he fight.
Why did they die.
No legs to run.
No wings to fly.
Where do they go.
When the church bells ring.
Why they don’t laugh.
Why they don’t sing no more.
I ran out the door.
Where do they go.
When the church bells toll.
Daddy never came home.
Out in the rain we go.
The World
The World is on fire.
It just keeps burning.
Freedom is a desire,
You can never keep it down.
Hollywood
I never did make it to Hollywood
I never got that Nashville dream.
Strange I turned up playing an old guitar
on some deserted sunny beach.
I could cry about the dreams I missed
If I only had a little more time
But the moon is rising as the sun sets low
So I got to build a bonfire
and pour another glass of wine.
Running
Find the silence if you think you can
It’s not so easy anymore
I used to care so much about
Which road I ran
But I’m not running anymore.
I wanted to be some kind of a hero
It just did not come to pass
Maybe some kind of a rock star
But it was not in my path.
I ran the back roads like everyone else
I never had much fear of dying.
It would not matter if you cry or run
We all have just so much time.
I escaped it once before in my past
But it will be back around.
I just hope when it finds me
I’m wide awake
If it sneaks up from behind.
Moon
I am a child of the moon
I just stay in my room
I play soft music loud
I don’t fit with the crowd.
Night Time
You pass into the night time so easily
I stare long into the dark silence of my cold room
I start searching for some melody on the wings of a dove
But I end jusrt chasing shadows of love
Breath
Every breath could be the last that I take
Every morning I’m suprised I awake
Let me live just one more day
I’ve got a tune that I just got to play.
And it’s stuck in my head
It’s just got to get out
Don’t bring me down
Cause I’m ready to shout
Insta
So many tools now at your command
Insta anything,
twit the world with one hand.
I can see my house
From the edge of space
Just one step back
I got the whole human race
In one picture.
Every word and every thought that you think
Recorded somewhere by the time you blink
I’m not the kind to worry about things
Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings
