Come On 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Come on Kids. Come on and do your best. The Fires. They will burn. Ignite the night. And the ash fall. In clouds. Dark out the light. And a virus. Creeps in. To try and take a life. In solitude. We will huddle. Filled with fright. And leaders. Let you down. Day by day. Hold you back. Kill your dream. No matter what they say. And the hoarders. Hoard their money. And hide away. While we sicken. As we're stricken. With no other way. People dying. Mothers crying. We want to live. Bullets of hate. Shoot to take. We want to live. Through the trials. And hard denials. We want to live. Across the miles. Across the aisles. We want to live.

Dusty Rental 03:37
lyrics
buy track
In mornings sometimes I hear you whisper I wake up, I'm still alone again Sometimes I still hear your footsteps in the doorway Wonder if you'll maybe come back again When you text me in the middle of the night It's cryptic so I wonder if you're alright Any time, you know I'll do all I can Yes, I know you've got yourself a new man On the beach. Several years ago. I still remember. Words you said. Hard wood floors. In a dusty rental. I hated to see. Inside your head. All the roads. We walk forever. Lead me here. For good or bad. In the evening sometimes I sit and wonder If you were here, would we fight again? Rain will fall and the stillness and that's all Where I'm going is maybe better than where we've been

Family Man 01:36
lyrics

She said she don't want no jerk No geek off the street Seen enough of this Seen enough of that Time to get it together No more messin' around This time she wants a family man Got big plans No one understands Seen enough of the world To be where she'll be Some will call her crazy Call her nuts About time she wants a family man He can be dumb As long as he works hard No way he'll be perfect But he can come home at night Give kind words Don't need much All she needs is a family man

Happy and Healthy 03:22
lyrics

Something. You know I need something Happy and Healthy. Happy and Healthy. I want something. Hell, I need something. How about happy and healthy. Happy and healthy. I need a gun. A big old gun. The biggest damn gun. Under the sun. You never never know. What I'll need to get done. But I might do some shootin'. So I need a gun. I gotta be pretty. I gotta be wealthy. I need all the muscles. That's what they tell me. If you wanna know me. Let's see what you can buy me. If you wanna try me. Start by being wealthy. I got my agenda. Big return to sender. The big never ender. The endless depender. So get on my agenda. We can be there together. And if you don't like it. You're just a big pretender.

I believe in Someone 04:23
lyrics
buy track
I believe in Someone. I believe in you. When I'm traveling in the darkness. And I don't know what to do. I believe in someone. I believe in you. When the walls close around me. And I can't break through. I believe in someone. I believe in you. Standing on the bridge of doubt Staring at the waters below Thinking what I can't live without Wondering what I could know Seems nothing goes as planned out Timelines go askew Too easy to get trapped in self doubt Wishing for something new Chalk it all up to bad luck Hindsight sure ain't fair Take the hits when I should have ducked Wishing I didn't care I believe in Someone. I believe in you. When I'm traveling in the darkness. And I don't know what to do. I believe in someone. I believe in you. When the walls close around me. And I can't break through. I believe in someone. I believe in you.

Miriam 04:51
lyrics

Got some money set aside. I can take you for a ride. Drive out someplace. Was gonna get you high. Talk about all the problems of the world. Sometimes I imagine you're still that kind of girl. Miriam. Please don't say that we're done. Miriam Miriam. I know you think I'm not the one. Miriam Miriam. Yes, there's a million other guys under the sun. Miriam What would your Twitter friends think. If they knew you try all that hard? If they could see you now. Would they suspect you'd go all that far? Yes, someday every one of us is gonna die. But can you handle being on your own now, for a while? Miriam. Yeah, I know you think that we're done. Miriam Miriam. Yeah, sure I'm not much fun. Miriam Miriam. All I ever wanted was for you to become. Miriam What would your Twitter friends say now. If they could be here somehow? What would they do. Would they try to get through? Put on a show, nobody will ever know Do what you want to, you're free now, so go

What can I do? To turn back time? What can I do? To make you mine? I wanna hit rewind What can I do? To change your mind? What can I do? To fix this bind? Wish I could hit rewind You're the kind of girl. Comes once in a life You're the kind of girl. Take you for a wife Yes I would, yes I would indeed You're the kind of friend. I've longed for Waited all my life. To hear you knock on my door Never thought you would, thought you would indeed You're the kind of girl. I wanna hang around You're the kind of girl. Keeps me in this town Yes you do, yes you do indeed You're the kind of girl. Rocket ship You're the kind of gal. A one way trip Yes you are, yes you are indeed What could I do? Change my ways? What can I do? To see you every day? I would hit rewind Yes I do, yes I do indeed

She Glows 02:56
lyrics
buy track
See there's this gal. Oh that I've known. Long time you know I hear her whisper. Nights in my dream. And where I go I see her picture. When I close my eyes. She's intent on me And then the wind blow. And I'm to realize. She's all I need You know she glows. You know she glows There's a light. That shines on me. Comes from the sky And in the winter. I could freeze. Look into her eyes The light she rides. Down through the night. To be by my side Someday she'll take me. When she flies. To other galaxies You know she glows. You know she glows

about

Recently I purchased a cheap condenser mic. The goal was to record something during this blasted pandemic. It has been hard to motivate, but I finally sat down and did it. This is life. It's real. Staying at home. The stress. Here you go.

Today marks 40 years since John Lennon was taken from the world too soon. I had to play guitar. A good idea right now is to go and listen to his song Imagine.
