LYRICS
Oh! My God,
I can’t wait to see.
When last is first resonates in me
[harmonics]
Oh! My Lord,
I can’t wait to be
Knocking at the gates of mortality
[knocking]
I pray our souls will life forever
I know our Lord is mighty clever
But, if mankind does persist…
In self-annihilation insist…
Well… death wish

LYRICS
When I was carefree
I was board
I asked the Lord, “What for?”
When I was carefree
It was lame
I asked the Lord, “What’s the game?”
Chorus
When I was carefree
Nothing bothering me was bothering me
When I was carefree
It was horrid
I asked God, “Spare the rod!”
When I was carefree
Life was empty
I asked God, “Please spare me!”
Chorus
When you’re carefree are you careless?
When you’re carefree do you care less?

LYRICS
Grim is the creeper
Creeping ever closer
No reaper sleeper
Guts are getting grosser
Someday you’re going to die
No sense to wonder why
Better to ponder “Why I”
Chorus
Someday you’re going to die
No sense to cry
Chorus
Someday you’re going to die
No sense to sigh
Chorus
Some things I can control
If you want to control your destiny
Listen to me
I will die
Only to be born again
That’s the good news
It only gets better
The escalator to heaven
Any way, you’re right here right now
Someday you’re going to die
You, everyone else and I

LYRICS
If you grab the tail of an alligator
Better be prepared to say, “See ya later!”
Before it’s too late… you’d better evacuate
Before you bake fate… no need to speculate
At the core, your spirit elevate
If you grab the tail of a rattlesnake
Better be prepared that’s all you can take
Before it’s too late, you’d better forsake
Before you bake fate, open your eyes — awake!
Love and honest faith you can’t fake

Chorus
Hey! I just wanted to say
It’s a perfect day
As you hurry along your way
Can you pause long enough to play
As you scramble through the day
Can you cause long enough to stay
Chorus
As you scurry along your way
Did you does serve to purvey
As you ramble… talking away
Will your good deeds far outweigh
Chorus
As you worry about your pay
Does the stress cause decay
As you gamble action replay
Will your soul wilt, wither… fray
Hey! I just wanted to say
Hope you enjoy every single day

LYRICS
Crazy roadtrip down I-81
Going down and back
Just for fun
Driven by the boychild
Toward Mexico
Just so he can go
Appalachian hiking wild
Chorus
Dancing! Dancing on the the line
Dancing! On a line too fine
The slippage of your baggage
Rupture rapture carnage
Seepage

Chorus — Em Am C D A C
Verse — Em C G A E
Made in the USA. Conceived on a roadtrip down Interstate 81 from Pennsylvania to Virginia Tech and back. My son needed a ride back to VA so that he could walk the Appalachian Trail back to PA. On the road, an 18-wheeler kept creeping across the line. He yelled out, “Yo! Dancing on the line.” So, this is basically a song about the thrills of being on the road… be it in a car or walking through the wilderness.

LYRICS
No matter what we may do
We’ve gotta keep the faith
Nemesis hubris does pursue
The promise of the oath
Maketh me to lay down in green pasture
Pray for the calm to come faster
No matter what we may do
We’ve gotta keep the faith
Life deceased reflects you
Can’t have one… must have both
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Thank God for every moment ’till my last final dying gasp of breath

LYRICS
The universe grows vast fast
Your presence turns into past
The ominous grows vast fast
All presents turn to past
I’ll see you on the bright side of the moon
Shoot out at the OK corral
The end of our time comes way too soon
Learning to let the living be my tomb

LYRICS
A song… that when we play
Everyone will say,
“There’s a sing along song!”
I want a song that we can all sing along
One that will make them swing and dance
I want a song that we can all sing along
When upon second glance….
I want a song… sing along
One that they’ll say,
“Hey, there’s a sing along song”
I want a song that we can all sing along
We can whistle away
(whistle)
Hey! There’s a sing along song
Hey, there’s that sing along song
You can swing and dance
While you have the chance
To have the time as a being
For the time being
For the time that you have the time as a being
For the time being
(guitar solo)
While you have the time….
As a being
For the time being
Hey! There’s that sing along song
Hey, did you hear them say, “There’s that sing along song!”
I want a song that we can all sing along
One that will make them swing and dance
I want a song that we can all sing along
When upon second glance
They say, “Hey, there’s that sing along song.”
(instrumental)
I want a song we can sing along
One we can sing all day
I want a song we can sing along
One we can whistle away
(more whistling)

LYRICS
How bad do you want it?
How hard will you strive to thrive?
Are you even alive?
Is it your spirit you’re gonna deprive?
Spending every day as though it’s your last
Is the best way to pass to the past
Filling everybody with “know” and you’ll last
As long as there’s memories to grasp
An oral tradition of endless relation revelation

HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR PART
Written and made famous by Steve Miller
This is a coversong inspired by the Downingtown Acoustic Meet Up of March 24, 2013.
Lyrics
I told you ’bout living in the U.S. of A.
Don’t you know that I’m a gangster of love
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
And I’m tired of all this talk about love
And the same old story with a new set of words
About the good and the bad and the poor
And the times keep on changin’
So I’m keepin’ on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door
I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was born on this rock
And I’ve been travelin’ through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin’ cats would do if you could
You know, I’m ready for the final surprise
There ain’t no way around it
Ain’t nothing to say
That’s gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors
Keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on gettin’ darker outside
I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
The boys in the military shirts
I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
And I don’t let my friends get hurt
All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
Cause you’re the same old story
It’s the same old crime
And you got some heavy dues to pay
I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
LYRICS
Paradise will loom
Paradise does loom
Let’s bring it on
None way too soon
There’s plenty of room
Let’s bring them on
None way too soon
Within the moon
Find a place under the sun

Once again, it’s your time to concede
Once again, the greed makes you bleed
Once again… a repetitive sin
Maybe it’s time — feed those in need
Maybe its time — read the Good Deed
And, begin… really livin’

LYRICS
Looking around me, I must confess…
I must confess
We’ve made a mess
Focusing to see, the giant mess…
A giant mess
We need address
Chorus
We’re clogging up and hogging up
’till we fail the test
We’re chocking up… lack of mopping up
’till the rest ain’t left
Asking around me, I try to digest
I try to digest
Why not the best?
Trying to see, why we digress
Why we digress
We could care less
