Get Your Cowboy Hat and Ride Video.mp4

LYRICS
The other day, a friend called and asked about getting a cowboy hat….

Headed to Virginia for a cowboy hat
If I can’t secure it, ain’t coming back
Going to Virginia for a cowboy hat
Pennsylvania, I love ya
But, that is that

Put a cap on it before I lose my head
Let’s rap this up and put it to bed

Said, Head to Virginia don’t come back
’till you acquire a cowboy hat
Pennsylvania, see ya… though where ever I may roam
Don’t you know you’re always going to be my home

LYRICS
Baby, I saw you dancing out of the corner of my eye
I don’t know why
The way you sway to the beat
Is a heavenly feat

The kind of woman my mother’d love to meet
Mum’s the word on our rendezvous backseat
Girl
Unfurl

Baby, I thought of chancing you out of the corner of my mouth
Say, “Hey! You’re stealth.”
The way you sway to the beat
Is a heavenly feat

The kind of woman my mother’d love to meet
Mum’s the word on our faux pas discrete
Girl
Unfurl

Say, “Hey! Soul feast.”

A Pirate’s Song

Posted on May 14, 2014May 15, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Mistaken for a pirate
Walking on a pegleg
Applying a patch
Incubate… idea… hatch

At any rate, let’s gravitate
Pleading as I beg
For a love match

Overtaken with his pride
Nemesis couldn’t hide
Along for the ride
I’ll match your love
One for one
We’re not alone… look above

Chorus

Aye aye Matey
Now there’s an I-dea
You n me as we
With soul’s that are free… yeah!

Spacewalk

Posted on May 13, 2014May 13, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Could ya
Would ya
Could you help me suit-up
For a spacewalk

How about you?
Would you like to come, too…
On a spacewalk

It’s hard to talk on a spacewalk
‘ cause words don’t travel through space
If you want to take a walk
And disregard the talk

Get on a suit
Then it’s a matter of whether the tether
Will you make sure it’s on really tight
But not so tight that there’s not enough slack to get back

If you can do be the favor
Of our hour favor

And the tether has enough slack to get back
But get far enough out… farout

The Drummer That Marches

Posted on May 13, 2014May 13, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Yes, I have a problem when you’re being a dick
Are you just an asshole or a real prick?

Chorus
May the good Lord shine upon you
… and all you do
May the light help lead your way
… to a better day

Giving me the finger and a shake of the fist
Try n’ cast your curse with an evil twist

Chorus

Oh so mean and nasty and throwing a fit
Take a chillpill and chill out for a bit

Chorus

As you glare with a threatening stare
Gotta wonder if you’re even aware

Chorus

Nice!

Posted on May 12, 2014May 12, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Say something nice?
Please say it twice
Might as well go all out
And give it a shout

Went out of your way
Just so you could say
Nice
Entice

Nice
Entice
The day

Putting a smile
On your fact
Lifts us a mile
Your Earth’s grace

Chorus

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by people on the street. As I was writing the song in front of the old courthouse in West Chester, PA, a lady went out of her way to say, “Nice!” Then, a young girl walked by… turning her neck like an owl with an ear-to-ear smile.

LYRICS
As far as I can see
There’s more than me
To be true
Ya gotta be you

Chorus
If the fox is in the hen house
There’s no time to sleep
The pigs will start to squeal
n’ reveal the real deal

As far as I can see
If ya wanna be free
It is true
Ya gotta be you

Chorus
Repeat First Verse

The fox is in the Whitehouse
Eating the little sheep
Pigs feast on the lamb scam
n’ reveal the real deal

Found in the Thick of Sick

Posted on May 10, 2014May 10, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Unfortunately,
Found in the thick of sick

Does your head hang heavy
Thick as a brick?

… in the thick of sick
Found in the thick of sick
Come ’round

Quick,
Let’s get you out of there…
Fortunately

A ground swell of well
A well of goodwill
Well, good
Freewill
Until
The End

LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses

I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy

If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy

Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?

Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses

Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….

And ya need a bridge over the pass
Just gotta pray it won’t sag
Alas, don’t let me down

Like velocity multiplied times mass
Just gotta pray it won’t fall
Alas, hospital gown

Big, Fat and Wide

Posted on May 6, 2014May 6, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry

While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”

Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written on South Street at Penns Landing along the Delaware river in Philadelphia, PA (after a record rainfall.) The polarity of the flood and drought conditions around the world is used as a metaphor for the polarity between the “have’s” and the “have not’s”.

LYRICS
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
When you start to wine, wail n’ preach
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech

Chorus
If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach
(2) To get what we seek in deep
What we seek to sink in deep

Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come

Chorus
