Blue On Blue 03:58
lyrics
buy track
There were lights around us Secrets in the sand Laughter cross the water Summer songs and summer cars Blasting through the night Stars above, young lovers in love We lay on the rooftop Sinners in the sun I spoke of heaven above You knew every weather Every cloud by name Never loved you better CHORUS Blue on blue, rain on rain Oh, I’d trade it all away To taste those days again Blue on blue, rain on rain Yes, I’d trade it all away You drew me a picture I drew a full house We all play the hands we’re dealt When things start slipping sideways Years go flying by We just sigh “oh, look at the time” CHORUS Sirens in the distance Choppers in the sky We dance to that rhythm now Halo lights around us Sapphires on the ground Take me back, oh, take me back somehow CHORUS

Ko Ko Sioux 03:41
lyrics

Koko Sioux are you caught on the blues Sailors and lovers cruisin’ Toulouse Kids singin’ doo-wop under the light C’mon let’s step into a sweet April night CHORUS Koko Sioux, hey la, hey voulez-vous Koko Sioux, who you been talkin’ to This boy’ll love you whatever they say Baby just laissez les bon temps rouler They say you’re crazy, don’t you despair I got some shadows, too, and I’ll take you there Under the bridges, down by the pier Wear your red shoes, I’ll bring the beer CHORUS Hear those sirens wailin’, feel that heat See your body shakin’ as you pull back the sheet Nobody’s talkin’, nobody dares But you’ll hear me singin’ as I creep down the stairs CHORUS

Away From Here 03:34
lyrics
buy track
If we ever get away from here If we ever get free and clear If we ever get a good goodbye You and I We’ll climb that hill Chase that dream Lift our eyes to the skies above Cast our love down a steep ravine If we ever get away from here If we ever get a second chance Won’t let it slip through my hands Gonna pack it up and disappear Leave all those ghosts back here Hoist that sail Hard-a-lee Lift our eyes to the skies above Cast our love out over the sea If we ever get a second chance (Bridge) If we ever get another life There’s no telling, we just might Build a castle, fill it up with things Live like kings Bring your drum We’ll sing a tune Lift our eyes to the skies above Cast our love up to a blood moon If we ever get away from here

Still Alone 03:50
lyrics
buy track
Took a drive last night No particular place to go My dog beside me on the seat Chuck Berry on the radio Faces passing through my mind All the people that I’ve known From back when we were little kids Now they’re all married and they got kids of their own And I’m still alone Seen a California mudslide Oklahoma drought I’ve heard that lonesome train whistle blow The one Hank Williams used to sing about And the woman I once knew so well When I called her on the phone A voice I’d never heard before Said “we’re not here now, leave a message at the tone” And I’m still alone I’ll get another point of view Climb another hill I’m not gonna settle down yet Maybe I never will…maybe I never will Stopped at a little juke joint A local band is playing Sweet Little Sixteen and Maybelline Barmaid winked and asked me, “Hey, where you staying?” Danced with a couple strangers Working girls out alone At last call they all headed home And I fell asleep to a test pattern drone And I’m still alone

There Must Be 03:01

There must be A galaxy in this universe We can’t comprehend With a star like our sun Planets, atmospheres No, we’re not alone There must be There must be Forms of life in this universe We can’t comprehend How they live without fear Without endless war Hatred for their own There must be There must be Harmony in this universe Bands of angel choirs We might hear someday Hymns of hope and peace Out in space somewhere There must be

Find My Way 03:36
lyrics
buy track
You’re in the morning choir of blackbirds You’re in the quiet of the night Show me the chords that hide inside me Send me those blue notes so I might CHORUS Find my way, find my way back to your door To your wide open arms Find my way, find my way back to your love I’m in the shadow of the mountain Out on the blinding desert sand Send me one more last chance oasis Slip me those aces so I can CHORUS I’m in the bitter winds of winter You’re in the snowflakes on my tongue Carry me home up on your shoulders Pray for no colder day to come CHORUS

Julie 02:27
lyrics
buy track
I saw your dad the other night We had a drink or two Julie, he was low Remembering a better time Funny things you used to do Why’d you break his heart this way He held on, oh, so long Never got to say goodbye He’ll always wonder what went wrong Who’s to blame Doesn’t matter now God’s mercy may allow His friends to fill his empty days And he’ll just go on somehow But you’ll be there in every dream Every high and low And though you’re gone, it somehow seems He will never let you go

More Brads 04:17
lyrics
buy track
CHORUS Got more Brads today everywhere you go Hipsters stalkin’ every town, ghettos gone condo Got more Brads today, Lord, let your people go Send ‘em back where they belong, back to Ohio/Buffalo I ain’t got nothing against them Some of my best friends are Brads But why do they all seem to work at the mall Selling stereo accessories Though I got nothing against them Why must they wear that cologne And stand right next to me in line at the bank Why don’t they leave me alone CHORUS I ain’t got nothing against them Equal jobs, equal pay But why do they all seem to need so much money They’re just gonna spend it foolishly Though I got nothing against them Why don’t they shuffle along And go shoot some hoops in some scruffly little schoolyard Sing a little song CHORUS Though I got nothing against them What’s a .38 for If not to protect my little girl From the Brad next door CHORUS

I don’t care if it’s hot and the phone don’t work I don’t care if I miss Wide World of Sports I don’t care if some college kid thinks I’m a jerk As long as I can wax my automobile I don’t care if neighbor throws his trash on the street I don’t care if the water in my toilet turns blue I don’t care if Thom McCan Brigadiers on my feet As long as I can wax my automobile CHORUS It’s so shiny and bright It’s so shiny and bright It’s so shiny and bright Keep your grubby fingers off her Or I’ll break your neck I don’t care if halitosis afflicts my breath I don’t care if the miniskirt never comes back I don’t care if scientists prove there’s no life after death As long as I can wax my automobile CHORUS I don’t care if my boy wants to dress like a girl I don’t care if California falls into the sea I don’t care if some maniac blows up the world As long as I can wax my automobile

D.C. in July Headin’ for the P Street Beach, I Try to catch your eye Then you catch mine Even through the haze Of Thorazine and dehydration I can see the way Our hearts align I tell you crazy things I know Secrets of the universal code up above Twenty-seven ways to fall in love Lyin’ in the shade Deep end of a conversation Slip beneath the waves Without a sound Even through the haze Of Thorazine and chlorination I can see the way I just might drown (But) you show me all the strokes you know Secrets of the Houston life you left, dreaming of Twenty-seven ways to fall in love Let’s go, let’s go now Let’s fall in love Let’s go, let’s go now Let’s fall in love D.C. in the fall They’re closing down the P Street Beach We’re dancing on the Mall Oh Susie Q, baby, I love you Even through the haze Of autumn mist and medication I can see the way You pull me through You tell me crazy things you know Secrets of the universal code up above Twenty-seven ways to fall in love

Starlet 03:34

Throw your beauty to the wolves Light another cigarette Lay your body down without a sound tonight You’re no helpless little girl Know your power over any man Still it’s hard to keep a wound so deep from sight When the lights come on at midnight, you’ll be there There for all the world to dream upon Windswept hair, a California smile Hold your head up, don’t you cry Keep a lion by your side Leave your fields and farms, take up arms and fight Tell your story one more time And may every line ring clear and true Through your darkest days you’ll find your way to the light (When the lights come on at midnight, you’ll be there There for all the world to dream upon Windswept hair, a California smile) Tell your story one more time And may every line ring clear and true Through your darkest days you’ll find your way to the light Through your darkest days you’ll find your way to the light

When the evening sun goes down On this town by the sea You’ll accompany me, my son All the places we have known All the races we’ve run All those old songs we’ve sung Live on in you Live on in you, my son Live on, live on Live on, when I am gone When my day is done Sing a song and carry on When the candle burns down low And it’s crow black in here Go on throw back a beer or two Haunt the places I have known Pay the bar tabs I’ve run All those old songs I’ve sung Live on in you Live on in you, my son Live on, live on Live on, when I am gone When my day is done Sing a song and carry on When the morning sun comes up On a day bright and blue I’ll accompany you, my son

Billy’s little world Seventeen and he never Kissed upon a girl Mama, she worry Will he ever love someone She wears too much makeup Will he ever love someone Some trampy little trailer trollop Billy’s little world See him slink around a corner All the boys at school Laugh and go “Homo, Will you ever love someone We’ll see you right after gym Will you ever love someone We’re never gonna let us be him” Is it real, is it true, I don’t care What I feel here with you: no despair Billy’s little world Seventeen and he never Kissed upon a girl Mama, she worry Will he ever love someone She wears t-too tight pants Will he ever love someone She teach him how to d-d-d-dance

CHORUS We may never be the same Never be so young But like my bother used to say Gotta keep on keepin’ on Keep on keepin’ on, keep on keepin’ on Like my bother used to say Gotta keep on keepin’ on In my head there’s a red light flashin’ Bad news bangin’ on my door Say a prayer for the hearts unbroken Long lost heroes comin’ home CHORUS In my life there’s a white line windin’ Blue lights blinkin’ in the cold In my mind lie the words unspoken Dreams like diamonds in the snow CHORUS
