LYRICS
Just like that
You’ll get the knack
Try and get
The rock and roll back
The toe tap
Finger snap
I concede what we need
Guitar that makes fingers bleed
Just like that
Blues kickback
Matter of fact
Nothin’ you lack

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you see the beauty in the entirety?
Do you see the entirety in the beauty?
Except for there where Killroy’s here
I’ve become aware of what I hear
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around

Do you feel the beauty in the entirety?
Do you feel the entirety in the beauty?
Except for where man’s left his mark
The light overtakes the dark
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around

Do you see the beauty in the entirety?
Do you see the entirety in the beauty?
Except for the scars of mankind
I kind-of love the beauty in all I find
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In the twilight of the light
Comes the night
Our closest star, the Sun
Becomes done (undone, done, undone)
The light before us
Too bright to be a star
Nor, that far
Is Venus
The planet of love
Shinning in from above

In the twilight of the light
Comes the night
Our closest star, the Sun
Becomes done (undone, done, undone)
The light before us
Too bright to be a star
Nor, that far
… Mercury
We see Mercury
The God of speed
Witnessing our deed

In the twilight of the light
Went the night

LYRICS
Have you heard of “no brainer”
This no brainer is a strainer
Scratchin’ my head
Over what he said
Living in delusion
Lively up yourself, don’t be no dread now
Beating on a horse already dead now
Seems to be a lack of marrow
’cause the cavity is too narrow
Solid bone from ear-to-ear
Lack of gray matter I do fear

Gonna give it a whirl
In good ‘ole East Earl

[chorus]
What’s “birthday” mean to you
Going to Shady Maple, too
For an all you can eat
Birthday treat

My, oh, my
Pie in the sky
You can have your cake
And, eat it, too
Sampling apple dumpling
Can the belly take
More than two
Are you telling me
All you an eat for free?
[chorus]

Travelin’ miles
For service n’ smiles
Another run around the sun
When it’s all said and done
Can’t wait ’til next year
When my birthday draws near
Heading back to East Earl
For another whirl

LYRICS
Grab your hoe
Come on let’s go
What we reap is what we sow
Probably should water good
Adding to the neighborhood

[chorus]
Generation germination
Pant my seed
Grows like a weed

Hey, maybe our baby
Falls close to the tree..
Guess we’ll see
Probably
Sprout nine months out
Isn’t that what life’s about
[chorus]

Sometime soon… around noon
Shady Maple’s fork and spoon
Pops, son n’ me… family three
Generations dinning happily

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
God, though you may find it odd
I hope I’m not asking for too much
I pray I’m not asking for too much
With all their suffering and such
But could you please
Turn up the breeze…
Just a little more
Believe it or not, that’s what I’m asking for
Please turn up the breeze
Yest, that’s it
Please turn up the breeze just a little bit
Forgive me for the tantrum
Forgive me for the fit
God damn it!
Turn up the breeze just a little bit

LYRICS
4×4 with 6-on-the-floor
Equals freedom to pick-up when you want to
Meant for America to move
The great American movement
You know
Pick-up and go
Do what ya gotta do

Bring us your sick, tired, bored
We can handle any size horde
Meant for America to move
The great American movement
You know
Pick-up and go
Do what ya gotta do

Easy to be free keyless entry
The stick shift gives ya a lift
Meant for America to move
The great American movement
You know

Do what ya gotta do
Where the grooving get moving
Meant for America to move
The great American movement
You know

Do what ya gotta do

LYRICS
In plain sight
In broad daylight
In the line of fire
Eye-to-eye desire

Just between me and you
There is nothing we can’t do
First we envision the vision
Next we follow through

Dream the scene
Make it true
Seen in dream
Time is due
