Cut To Pieces
Everybody put your hands up
Look around and show me what you’re made of
Ain’t nobody gonna save us
Keep your eyes upon the prize
Everybody knows it
You’ve got to roll with it
There’s no way we’re going down without a fight
Everybody knows
You’re sinking like a stone
I’ll give you one more chance before I
Cut you to pieces
Everybody it’s time to wise up
Make up your mind
And hit ‘em with your best shot
Looking for answers, looking for trouble
It’s a real fine line
Everybody knows it
You’ve got to roll with it
There’s no way we’re going down without a fight
Everybody knows
You’re sinking like a stone
I’ll give you one more chance before I
Cut you to pieces

Year of Nothing

Year of Nothing
It was a year of nothing
A year to forget
Like a record skipping
Like a work of fiction
I don’t remember
Just who I was
How to run without tripping
Crazy days we’re living in
Who could of guessed it was coming
It was really something
When I break this spell
You can all go to hell
If I haven’t lost my mind
I will be just fine
When all this passes
You can kiss my ass
I’m just passing through
And I am done with you
It was the year that wasn’t
But we never gave in
All we had was time
And time had no meaning
Hey now, there’s a crowd in the house
All these sights and sounds
When I break this spell
You can all go to hell
If I haven’t lost my mind
I will be just fine
When this all passes
You can kiss my ass
I’m just passing through
And I am done with you

The Way She Goes

The Way She Goes
Oh Josie
Dragging her feet on the edge of the path
To the Irish Rose before closing time
Last Monday
The word got out that the only gig in town
Was closing down
That’s the way it goes
Place your bets and roll with the punches
That’s the way it goes sometimes
That’s the way she goes
A round for the room
And a song to chase it
That’s the way she goes sometimes
Oh Josie
I hear your headed south for a month on the coast
And it calls for rain
Drive careful
I’ve seen there’s a speed trap out on the straights
And late last night they took half my rent
That’s the way it goes
Place your bets and roll with the punches
That’s the way it goes sometimes
That’s the way she goes
A round for the room
And a song to chase it
That’s the way she goes sometimes
Oh Josie
Don’t look now but your old flame just walked in
I can see his lefthand knuckle shine
Good riddance
He never saw that sparkle in your eyes
He’ll never know just what he missed
That’s the way it goes
Place your bets and roll with the punches
That’s the way it goes sometimes
That’s the way she goes
A round for the room
And a song to chase it
That’s the way she goes

Change of Scene

We were half way home when we pulled into Portland
Snow was falling hard, covering our tracks
We crossed that bridge listening to Henley
Singing ‘Don’t Look Back, You Can Never Look Back’
Singing ‘Don’t Look Back, You Can Never Look Back’
A change of scene
A change of scene
Oh a change of scene, would do ya some good
A sign said “We Are Always Hiring’
As we serpentined along the Purple Heart
I felt the weight of the continental drifting
The Silver Reef, it tore the map apart
Keep it weird, keep it cool, that’s what you wanna do
When you’re blowing with the breeze and chasing down a muse
A change of scene
A change of scene
Oh a change of scene, would do ya some good
No painting by numbers, no photos allowed
The cannons and craters, and cracks in the ground
A decorative balance of showers and dunes
Finding the answers and chasing a muse
A change of scene
A change of scene
Oh a change of scene, would do ya some good
Oh a change of scene, would do me good too.

Train Rolls On

Train Rolls On
I can hear the whistle blowing
Calling out in the night
Soon as I can get a jump on
I’ll be chasing down the line
For as long as I remember
The road has been calling out my name
I’d be lying if I told you
That spinning wheels feels the same
Now the past has gone
And the train rolls on again
Now the past has gone
And the train rolls on again
The truth is stranger than the fiction
And I’ve been telling stories all my life
I look at places like a postcard
Collecting pictures in my mind
And I count all my little heart breaks
With a song and a smile
If I ever get to heaven
I’m gonna cross a million miles
Now the past has gone
And the train rolls on again
Now the past has gone
And the train rolls on again
I can hear the whistle blowing...

STAY GOLD
I want to roll this up and smoke it
Let it burn at either end
Watch my plans go up in smoke
And fill my lungs again
I have seen salvation
I have felt it in my bones
Sweet Maryjane and Rock ’n Roll
Will save you in the end
As long as I’m still kicking
I will do the best I can
I was made for rodeos and bands
Stay gold and shine forever
And take in on the chin
Love like it’s the last love you’ll get
You’re nothing but a spirit
Nothing but a breeze
Nothing feels as good as running free
I want to roll this up and smoke it
Let it burn at either end
Watch my plans go up in smoke
And fill my lungs again
I have seen salvation
I have felt it in my bones
Sweet Maryjane and Rock ’n Roll
Will save you in the end
Gather all your glories
Summon all your ghosts
Go and find someone to hold you close
Turn ‘em loose at midnight
Watch ‘em disappear
Chasing down a muse with pretty words
Nothing good comes easy
Nothing good comes free
There’s nothing wrong with getting high like me
I want to roll this up and smoke it
Let it burn at either end
Watch my plans go up in smoke
And fill my lungs again
I have seen salvation
I have felt it in my bones
Sweet Maryjane and Rock ’n Roll
Will save you in the end
