Was in a jam
How damn
Fantastic

LYRICS
While I was thinking aloud
Walking under a dark cloud
Why would one want to be
Living in difficulty
Why no live reality
A little more pleasantly
I found the light
(Somehow)

(Right now!)

LYRICS
Looking through the interference
I recognize your outline
Memory scan for a reference
Under art the kind “fine”
Refresh the temporal imprint
Impression from an infant
Youth infusion growing older
Elder grows young again
getting lost in the scene
Still the same as it ever was
Getting lost in the seen
A new twist on because

LYRICS
This needn’t be painful
The pane of your window
So full
Can’t see through
Searching for a more
Transparent you
Is it frost
Is it dust
What clouds your view
Out your window
On the world
For ages told
Fable of old
Turn to stone… cold?
Clear the view
Let light through
See the warmth
In depth and breadth

Our hearts grow stronger
The way we ought to be
Forays grow shorter

LYRICS
I hate to harp
But which edge is sharp?
Do you understand
Running with scissors in hand
Could be detrimental
To your mental…
Stability
Or even your basic ability
Consider going gentle
Ever so slightly
Tread lightly
Teetering on the ledge
With the sharp edge
Driving a wedge
Between us
Dangerous

You’re the best kind of friend to have
So kind
Out of my mind
And end to have

LYRICS
When the occasion arose
I suppose…
He wanted to strike
A special pose
Strike a pose
Spectacular
It comes natural
So stoic
In the thick
A star
Spectacular
You are
Fantastic
Giving the kick
Stoic
In the thick

Then, the occasion arose
One of those
Instinctively throws a pose

Spectacular
It comes natural
So stoic
In the thick
A star
Spectacular
You are
Fantastic
Giving the kick
Stoic
In the thick

A song about man’s best friend.

A           E       F#m         E   D
I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
A               E                  F#m   E    D
A starry night, the campfire light
A          E     F#m             E    D
The coyote call, and the howling winds wail
A             E              F#m     E     D
So I'll ride out, to the old sundown
D   Amaj7  Bm7 A (x 2)

Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female
A                   E         F#m       E   D
The nights we spent together, riding on the range

Looking back, it seems so strange

D                Amaj7
Roll me over and turn me around
