LYRICS
Heard people say you can never go home again
But when I get there they say, “Where’ve ya been?”
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

No surprise when ya look in their eyes
A familiar face… you realize
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

There’s nothing like finding a long lost friend
Except for finding a long lost friend
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

Sorry to say some have passed away
But it’s OK… we’ll meet again some day
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

LYRICS
This is just about as country….
This is just about as country….
This is just about as country as it gets
(never forget, no regrets)

Plenty of fresh air
County fair’s right there
Backwater pleasure
Penn’s hardwood treasure

Clearfield, PA
Clearfield, PA

No four-way stop
Barely a single cop
Do the lights turn red?
Little town… bigger in my head

Blank Minqua squaw
Little in us all
Chinklacomoose
Lanterned caboose

Written and recorded in Clearfield, Pennsylvania.

A live 1-track stereo recording made on a park bench in downtown Clearfield.

Chinklacamoose, spelled many ways, was an old Native American village located at what is now Clearfield, Pennsylvania. The village existed from the early 1st century up until around the mid to late 17th century. The village was about halfway along the Great Shamokin Path, which started at the old Indian village of Shamokin (present day Sunbury), along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River west to its ending point at the village of Kittanning.

Chinklacamoose kept its name up until 1804, when it became the first township for Clearfield County. Only three years later, the township began to split up into smaller townships, like Beccaria, Bradford, Lawrence and Pike by 1813, when Chinklacamoose Township no longer existed and the name was lost to history.

LYRICS
Keeping the scenic scene free from obscene
Know what I mean? By no means mean

No sign of signs
Pollution desolation
Lover of love
Negator of the hater

Caretaker curator for the Maker
A race leaving no trace in our space

No sign of signs
Pollution desolation
Lover of love
Negator of the hater

Stave being slave. Wave on the wave
No gaudy God… Lord we applaud

Once we abhor being whores
An endeavour to adore
Knocking on heaven’s door

Is there more?

Can’t be won
’til you’re sure
There’s much more

Do you throw a fit

Are you at a loss
If you’re not a cost

Cry n’ wine
All the time
Nothing’s fine

[Read my mind: No me, my, mine]

Left me sitting here in the dark
Maybe it’s time for a little spark
Inconsiderate

Sorry doesn’t make-up for a sin
Especially when you do it again and again
Inconsiderate

Then you say you forgot to pay
When you get a chance, you’ll send it my way
Then when you pray you forget to say
“Lord, how may I serve you?”
Consider it

Have you ventured too far
“Who do you think you are?”

Leave them alone

Will you push them too far
Forcing them to fly
Will you push them too far

Now you’ll take your own test
In your empty-nest-ness
Baby’s grown and flown
Now you’re on your own

LYRICS
When raping your Mother Earth
Destroys your own birth
Then treating the guests
Like you’re above the rest

May you rest in peace
Rest in peace
(To say the least)

Animosity cease
Unconditional release
Realize
Pennies on your eyes

May you rest in peace
Rest in peace

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
The result of uncontrollable lust

May you rest in peace
Rest in peace

For sure fracture
The ill of the drill
Mine and mine… “it’s all mine”
Until there is no more

May you rest in peace
Rest in peace

Lost the human race

Both sides of your mouth talkin’ too

As a benefit to me
Isn’t working out logically
Hand in hand. Hand in hand.

LYRICS
We eat animals
We eat plants
And we sing and dance
After all
Man is an animal
Everything we do is natural

We eat animals
We eat nuts
And we sing and dance
We create
For nine months gestate
Within a lifetime, we lay prostrate

Some go nuts
Some advance
Need more song and dance
When we sing
Songs universal
The dance thing… transformational

LYRICS
There must be a reason
No matter the season
You bring out the worst in me
There must be a reason
No matter the season
Justice comes eventually

And by chance
When the scales balance
I’m around to see
Eventually be
Inevitability to reality

There must be a reason
No matter the season
The pig is ripe on the vine
There must be a reason
No matter the season
Humans turn to swine

And by chance
When the scales balance
I’m around to see
Eventually be
Inevitability to reality
