LYRICS
Don’t ask me what I’m digging for
’cause it’s obvious I dig for more
And if you ask me just once more
I’m going to dig and dig for sure
Does it make you feel bigger
I’m just a meager digger
Does it pull your trigger
I’m just a meager digger
I dig love
I dig joy
From above
Dug employ

You say “I’m digging for uranium”
And I’ve been told you can dig for gold
But I’m growing old
So I dig what I enjoy
I dig love
I dig joy
From above
I employ
Dig what you enjoy

LYRICS
Can you guess what I’m thinking about
Ohh if someone would just let me out
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
Take another guess on what I’m thinkin’
Ohh if someone would just let me in
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again

Who’s the master
And who’s the slave
Teach you faster
How to behave

Waiting here makes me want to shout
Can’t you see I want to go out
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again

I never ends
Ohh where to begin
Do I have to beg for you to let me in
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again

And then I do it again

LYRICS
As my age comes unfurled
Future to the past is hurled
It’s a dog eat… dog eat dog eat world
Thinkin’ they’re at it again
Better put ’em back in their pen
Chances aren’t that remote
They’ll be at each others throat
Gnawing at the hair on his neck
Teach the meaning of what the heck
Disbelief must have sharpened his teeth
Roll ’em over see what’s underneath
Making him bark ’til his lights go dark
Trying to leave more than a mark
As my age comes unfurled
Future to the past is hurled
It’s a dog eat… dog eat dog eat world

LYRICS
Dogfight! Dogfight!
On a lark, his bark
Ain’t worse than his bite
I mean
Don’t get in between
You’ll make the scene obscene
Those two dogs could play all day

You might talk low
And I know…
Carry a big stick
But in the thick of it
That stick’ll do jack$hit
Dogfight! Dogfight!
On a lark, his bark
Ain’t worse than his bite

Every one knows get the hose
You gotta spray a round to calm ’em down
It won’t hurt
If you give ’em a lil’ squirt
Dogfight! Dogfight!
On a lark, his bark
Ain’t worse than his bite

LYRICS
That’s the way the ball bounces
See a chance, someone pounces
Am I just being think
Is this the short end of the stick

That’s the way the cookie crumbles
It’s your chance when someone fumbles
Am I just being think
Is that the short end of the stick

Is it up to me
Take advantage of opportunity
Now I’m thinking quick
That’s the short end of the stick

Live comes easy
Open eyes see

bookmark_borderArthur’s Dog

King Arthur is a legendary British leader and hero. According to medieval history, he led the defense of Britain against the Saxon invaders in the early 6th century. There is still a great debate as to whether Arthur existed or is just a myth. However, it appears a man name Arthur did live during that time period and that folklore helped keep his memory alive.

The facts that started the legend of King Arthur are:
1) Arthur was a man that lived and led in Britain.
2) Arthur never called himself a king.
3) Arthur loved his dog.

LYRICS
As far as any author
That writes of King Arthur
The only thing they know
Letting his dog go
Broke his heart
When they’d part

Guinevere, my dear
You can’t hold a light
The canine time
Gives us might

Broke his heart
When they’d part

No matter how quick
Merlin’s magic
You would have to concede
Not up to dog’s speed

Broke his heart
When they’d part

There really is nothing better than this
These are the day I’ll miss
Please don’t come ’round with low down news
Just ’cause you’ve nothing to lose

Hanging out with man’s best friend
Hoping these days never end
Please don’t come ’round with low down news

Hope you’re there to send

LYRICS
When I start to get the blues
You’re the first to get the (k)news
You’re a good dog
Misunderstood
You’re a good dog
If they only would

When they start to bark at you
Just because you are you
There’s not a lot you can do
To help guide them through

When I start to get the blues
You’re the bearer of good (k)news
You’re a good dog
If they only would
You’re a good dog
If they only could
(You know they should)

The world’s best therapy
For anything that ails me

LYRICS
Yet another cog
“Do you mind if I pet your dog?”
Do you know what I mean
He’s his own being
He’s not my dog
He’s not my dog

No, he’s not my property
He’s as free as free can be
Believe me
He does as he please
He frees!
He’s not my dog
He’s not my dog

Release your soul from a noose
Set your heart and mind loose
Do I mind if you pet my dog?
Take your memory for a jog….
He’s not my dog
He’s not my dog
He does as he please
He frees!
He can start to free your heart
And to your mind be kind
(Man’s best therapy
Free as free can be)

LYRICS
Here I thought you were deep in sleep
Not an itch… you begin to twitch
Seems you’re chasing rabbits in your dreams
Dreaming

Do you dream in black and white
Do you dream all through the night
I mean… wondering what you dream
Scheming, dreaming

Can you smell a cat and mouse
Did they infiltrate the house
Can you dream a silent scream
Meaning
In dreaming

LYRICS
Why don’t you throw the dog a bone
You leave ma all alone!
Yeah, give the dog a bone

I don’t think I ask that much
You can skip the bath and such
You leave me all alone
Why don’t you throw the dog a bone?

I’ve got this itch I just can’t scratch
No, I don’t think I need another bath
You’ve got a rodent or rabbit, I’ll catch
It’s like 1+1… do the math
Why don’t you throw the dog a bone?

I lick your floor ’till clean and more
And do you realize how I fertilize
Why don’t you throw the dog a bone
You leave ma all alone!
Yeah, give the dog a bone

I don’t know ho to get through the day
If you stay home, we can play

Hear My Rocking (Music Video).mp4

LYRICS
I keep on rocking
Can’t see you frolicking
I keep on talking
Can’t hear you listening
I keep on knocking
But you’re not answering
Is there anyone at home?
I keep on knocking
But you leave me standing all alone

2) If a tree falls in the forest
And you’re the closest
Do you turn a deaf ear
To be clear: do you hear?
Is there anyone at home?
I keep on knocking
But you leave me standing all alone

3) If Little Bo Peep lost her sheep
Would you bother to wake from sleep
River runs deep…. is faith the leap
Pray to God my soul to keep
Is there anyone at home?
I keep on knocking
But you leave me standing all alone

Hear My Rocking Guitar Instrumental.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
The song was inspired by the dancing kids (one dressed like Little Bo Peep) that were listening to me write this song… as their parents appeared to be in their own little worlds. A five-year-old girl even made a point of showing me how her doll dances, but her parents couldn’t seem to hear the music. Moral of the story: “Don’t grow old. Listen to the music. Dance and jump about!” Written between the corners of Market, High, Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA — Gay Church.
