Dusty Porch

Baby's playing in the grass
Brother's on the overpass
I'm the lonely one in the crowd
Makes me want to shout out loud
There's no sense in letting go
There's no sense in holding on
Sitting here on this dusty porch
Playing this old guitar
Like so many time before
Trying to heal these age-old scars
There's no sense in letting go
There's no sense in holding on

Gonna gather round the fire
Gather round the fire
Gonna gather round the fire
The fire deep inside
Gonna fly through the canyon
Fly through the canyon
Gonna fly through the canyon
The canyon deep inside
Gonna walk down to the river
Walk down to the river
Gonna walk down to the river
The river deep inside
Gonna gather round the fire
Gather round the fire
Gonna gather round the fire
The fire deep inside us

Surrender Again
04:53
|

Been a long time coming on; I can hardly see the sky
I'll no longer be a pawn in their game
But I can't stop asking why
Gotta get it together
Gonna shine my shoes
I'm gonna surrender again
And again, one last time
Nothing is quite what it seems
It's a struggle every day
Give up all my hopes and dreams; they never come true
What more would you have me say?
Gotta get it together
Gonna shine my shoes
I'm gonna surrender again
And again, one last time
Been a long time coming on; I can hardly see the sky
I'll no longer be a pawn in their game
But I can't stop asking why
Gotta get it together
Gonna shine my shoes
I'm gonna surrender again
And again, one last time

Gladhanding Days
02:58
|
|||
|
I'm asleep on my feet; I stumble and spill something
But the bartender knows me - he pours another
and says "No problem, brother"
And I don't care where I sleep tonight
Just roll me in sheets and hold me tight
I could be anybody
These gladhanding days, you know they go by
like the black river flows by: in a nicotine haze
I keep smoking while the barflies keep joking
And I don't care where I sleep tonight
Just roll me in sheets and hold me tight
I could be anybody
Everything falls apart
It shatters and gets scattered
to a random place in my heart
It turns sour like dead flowers
And I don't care where I sleep tonight
Just roll me in sheets and hold me tight
I could be anybody

Redwood Tree

Give me one more chance to tell you the truth
The boys down in France are wise and long of tooth
I'd drive a thousand miles just to get away from here
All I need is a treasure map, direction and good cheer
Build it up, then you break it down
Build it up, then you break it down to the ground
My thoughts are insane; my manners are fake
Standing in the rain for the promises I make
With false piety, I climb a redwood tree
'Cause there's no place for me in polite society
Build it up, then you break it down
Build it up, then you break it down to the ground

Too Far Gone
03:11
|

When I woke up you were gone
And the sun was on the lawn
Empty pillow with perfume on
I smelled it.
Well, we met in my favorite bar
Took a ride in my old car
But I still don't know how
We made it home.
Was I too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
For you.
We had drugs and we had booze
But we still had something to lose
And by dawn I wanted
To marry you.
With our attitudes by day
And our secret dreams by night
Can we really live our lives
That way.
Am I too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
For you.
Was I too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
For you.
