Breaks With The Soul
03:04
|

I come to the free lands
Not to visit but to understand
How I can fit in with a brand
Strap yourself to the mountain heap
Take with the day the kind you keep
And remember the feeling you lived
All you know
Is just sitting in between
Breaks with the soul
The mind feels nothing
The sky is just a picture to me
My heart is on a TV screen
Everything is just a game
Staring blind, the cement ties
Takes me back where my home lies
In a town with the hill on the right
All you know
Is just sitting in between
Breaks with the soul
The mind feels nothing

All Natural
03:15
|

Shadows and coolness break overcasting now
Fellow captains stop by and wave near the bow
All time must end without us somehow
Boards creak and waves crash, time fills the sail
Generations have lived here, still rattle the nail
The circulating waters drive life without fail
The peace I've felt here is all natural
The time I've spent here was all natural
Just like my woman, all natural
Nature half as beautiful as my one gal
Blissful loneliness has, until the end
Been my companion through a journey 'round the bend
I never once I thought I would be here again
Music begins to play and I don't hear
I've tired myself of holding things dear
I'd kill for a chance to be understood clear
The peace I feel here is all natural
The time I've spent here was all natural
Just like my woman, all natural
Nature half as beautiful as my one gal
Silence lingers throughout horizons
My mind is a burning fire that's rising
I just hope my friends at home don't remind me

Lake Time
03:24
|

Well what can you do
When the dock's come over you
How can you feel except blue?
Well how do you try
When the whole damn creek's gone dry
How can you tell the days gone by?
I'm livin' on lake time
from sun to sunset
My lake time's
Got some upset
Living in a cottage too
Wherever we can go to hide from you
My lake time's been off, they never knew
Well I've been away
For six of past seven days
Some may think I've gone astray
Cuz it's a-one too many now
And it's not enough 'til then
I'm gonna need to get off the island again
Say it's true
That we might be together again soon
And say it's true
That I might be in love with you
I'm livin' on lake time
From sun to sunset
My lake time's
Got some upset
Living in a cottage too
Wherever we can go to hide from you
My lake time's been off, they never knew
I'm livin' on lake time
From sun to sunset
My lake time's
Got some upset
Living in a cottage too
Wherever we can go to hide from you
My lake time's been off, they never knew
Say it's true
That we might be together again soon
And say it's true
That I might be in love with you
I'm livin' on lake time
From sun to sunset
My lake time's
Got some upset
Living in a cottage too
Wherever we can go to hide from you
My lake time's been off, they never knew
My lake time's been off, they never knew

Twilight Oasis
02:24
|

Dusty path gives way to
A clearing in sight
That lets in the warmth
With the brief sunlight
I'll search around
For a place to sit
Between some rocks,
Moss breaks the sticks
A twilight oasis shines
Burgers, shakes and another fries
My hunger lies right in my face
I slide a five right across the gates
No parking, no lines to wait
I cannot begin to taste
The sweet and subtle sound
Of a greased oven turned right around
Comes my way, a beef discreet
Forest line, my eyes do see
Plastic and paper fall fast with ease
My lunchtime fate has sealed the case
A twilight oasis shines
Burgers, shakes and another fries
My hunger lies in my face
Divine light of the human race

Had To Go
04:46
|

The easiness here is quite enough for me
Birds don't much whistle, shine bright through the trees
And I know that I'm in my place to be
The borders and lines don't mean a thing
The limitless greenery has got much to lend
Mind and body, still I'm wanting, more of its blend
And I know they want a piece from me
Making servants of men and fools out of me
It's not you who had to go
And it's not you who wants to show
A passport of entry to my
Country of love
Another voice comes crying out distant from my ear
Milk and bread and gas and beer, half their worth up here
And I know after sixteen weeks things are still unclear
The night breaks, the darkness lies, fog approaches near
Every day comes over the stoic mountain face
Blinding me beyond my eyes grow weary in this place
And I know I should be glad I'm woken up without disgrace
Start me off with another cup of wasting my days
It's not you who had to go
And it's not you who wants to show
A passport of entry to my
Country of love
Come with me to another time when I could understand
When you live out on your own no one will lend a hand
And I know that I'm in my place to be
Borders and lines don't mean a thing

Guitar Land
02:47

I wish I was a great big player
In the high school band
And if I could play guitar man,
You know I'd be best in the land
And if I could play guitar man,
You know I'd play the best in the band
But I would not much be for practicing
'Cause that ain't my band
Well I know I'd be a guitar man
If I could play the chords
Well I know I'd be a guitar man
If I could only play the chords
Well I know I'd be a guitar playin' man
If only I knew some chords
Knew some chords, knew some chords
Well I know I'd play the guitar man
I'm from the state of Alabam'
And I know I'd play the guitar better than you
Well all the state of Alabam'
There's no place from here in the land
That I could play the guitar 'round the band
And I know I'd play the guitar best a-band

Mr. Sun
02:47
|
|||
Goin' round the sky
Flies like a bee
Burnin' each day like I ain't never seen
It's Mr. Sun
It's Mr. Sun
It's Mr. Sun going up the sky
Makin' daylight for you and me
Shines in my eyes
A billion miles away
I ain't never seen dark light since before the break of day
It's Mr. Sun, shining bright
It's Mr. Sun
He's Mr. Sun all in the daytime, and he's Mr. Gone all at night
What else to do
Except go back inside
Who can I blame when the A/C backfires
It's Mr. Sun, shining bright
It's Mr. Sun
There's only one Mr. Sun, and he's gonna start a fire

And It Seems
02:42
|

And it seems like some things are here for me
And it seems like what you cannot see
And the mountains, they speak their words to me
And the sky, I cannot speak for thee
And I know this because I listen close
To the prairies, the hills, lakes and coasts
As for people I don't know much more
Than the things they told me once before
And I know just what this means
That my place is in the trees
And I know just what this means
That my place is in the trees
Close your eyes and wash all your thoughts away
Sunny gleaming, yellow teeming flowers sway
Let the night sky share the dark light with the moon
Sandy footprints linger past glimpses of you
And I know just what this means
That my place is in the trees
And I know just what this means
That my place is in the trees

Workin' Anywhere
02:54

Richmond engine number six
Twelve miles into the Seaport sticks
Takes a minute to get up to
The speed of a hundred and two
I've been down to that countryside
From the middle of the west to the north of the side
It don't matter where I'm gone
Always seemed better to move along
I can catch another rail to the eastern cove
Can't go down to Mexico
Met another gal in Texas too
Might have to go and get her who
Some nights a little worse for wear
Sure as hell beats workin' anywhere
It's not so bad down here you know
Dallas in the summer stays pretty slow
Travelin' man don't get no due
C'mon save me, what can I prove
'Til I get to that ol' lone star
World has traveled me pretty far
It don't matter where I'm gone
Always seemed better to move along
I can catch another rail to the eastern cove
Can't go down to Mexico
Met another gal in Texas who
Might have to go and get her too
Some nights a little worse for wear
Sure as hell beats workin' anywhere
