Steady Rollin’
Steady rollin river, steady rollin day
Steady rollin changes carry me away
Steady rollin river, steady rollin day
Steady rollin whiskey, loosen up my mind
I know she'll miss me, if I leave her behind
Steady rollin whiskey, loosen up my mind
There's someone cryin somewhere
They’re sad and low and blue
But confidence and good will
Are steady rollin too
Steady rollin laughter, ticklin my ears
Helps me overcome, the steady rollin tears
Steady rollin laughter, ticklin my ears
Well I don’t believe in time
And I got no common sense
My life is full of crazy dreams
And happy accidents
Steady rollin river, steady rollin day
Steady rollin changes carry me away
Steady rollin river, steady rollin day
A Change is Coming
The leaves have all fallen
Time has been crawlin’
So slowly
It’s had a hold on me
Like gravity
Now I’ve got to break free
So I left town this mornin’
Gone with no warnin’
Got no plans
In my empty hands
I’m searchin to find somethin’ new
A change is coming
A change is coming my way
A change is coming
Now I’m lookin at a brand new day
A hot cup of coffee
With a smile served so softly
From my little flask
Is all I ask
As the sun rises up from the dust
A change is coming
A change is coming my way
A change is coming
Now I’m lookin at a brand new day
The hard times have passed me
But the memories will last me
Like a picture book
Come and take a look
‘Cause I know someday soon I’ll be gone
A change is coming
A change is coming my way
A change is coming
Now I’m lookin at a brand new day
Glimpse of God
Sirens in the distance tell me people never change
I'm walkin' down the street and every face is strange
Feet nailed together, fixed in place like a star
And when I look in the mirror the future seems so far
Fear grows and grows into a lightning rod
A fallin’ star, a glimpse of God
One man takes pride in having nothing at all
Another takes pride in filling room from wall to wall
Finds himself a new thing everyday
Gonna polish it, package it, put it on display
He bought another house out on Cape Cod
You can rent it on the weekend for a glimpse of God
Well a few years ago up in Boston town
The Catholic Church had its head bowed down
If you hold somethin' back, you're gonna get hurt
Reputation and honesty turn to dirt
Out on St. Peter's Square there's a firing squad
People all lined up for a glimpse of God
It's never got to this point before
Conformity is poundin' on my door
You're expectations are too low
And it's about time somebody told you so
So if you wanna make a difference, you better just quit
‘Cause everybody in charge is old and celibate
Jesus and Moses were never well groomed
Ya trust a man in a suit, you're probably doomed
Stay off the right track, reveal the facade
Don't mistake good luck for a glimpse of God
Don't mistake good luck for a glimpse of God
Don't mistake good luck for a glimpse of God
Impulse and Obsession
Impulse and obsession seem to guide my every move
Impulse and obsession seem to guide my every move
My record keeps skipping, the needle can’t find a groove
I’m tired of being taunted by the devil in my dreams
I’m tired of being taunted by the devil in my dreams
You got no idea how loud that bastard screams
I feel my ming a-changin’, the sand is slowly fallin’ through
I feel my ming a-changin’, the sand is slowly fallin’ through
Well I’m dreamin’ ‘bout other women, but I’m still lyin’ here with you
Impulse and obsession seem to guide my every move
Impulse and obsession seem to guide my every move
My record keeps skipping, the needle can’t find a groove
My record keeps skipping, the needle can’t find a groove
Tear It Down
Great blue heron flyin’ south
Underneath a crescent moon
Had a snake hangin out of its mouth
Hope we’ll be getting’ some answers soon
Hold it up, Hold it all together
Throw it at the wall and see what sticks
There’s signs in the heavens, signs in the weather
Mortar’s crumblin’ between the bricks
Tear it down and build it up again
Tear it down and build it up again
Tear it down and build it up again
I ain’t here to live a lifestyle
I ain’t here to spread the fear
I ain’t here to worship a culture
I don’t know why I’m here
Hold it up, Hold it all together
Throw it at the wall and see what sticks
There’s signs in the heavens, signs in the weather
Mortar’s crumblin’ between the bricks
Tear it down and build it up again
Tear it down and build it up again
Tear it down and build it up again
Radio’s on, the car’s in park
Seat reclined, my mind’s on cruise
Didn’t mean to keep you in the dark
I saw the light and then I blew a fuse
Hold it up, Hold it all together
Throw it at the wall and see what sticks
Signs in the heavens, signs in the weather
Not much hope for an easy fix
Tear it down and build it up again
Tear it down and build it up again
Tear it down and build it up again
Great blue heron flyin’ south
Underneath a crescent moon
Had a snake hangin’ out of its mouth
Hope we’ll be getting’ some answers soon
Can't Help But Wonder
Do you exist after you die?
Will there be laughter from the sky?
Can this earthly shroud be lifted?
Once the thundercloud has shifted away
You know I can't help but wonder
She sang a tempting melody
She’d never met a man like me
I worship shadows of her form
Imagine how she would perform on my stage
‘Cause I can't help but wonder
They say hold on to anyone you can
I know she doesn't need a man
But I love her
But I can't help but wonder
A line of women marching slow
The lion's back is arching low
I'm afraid of my intentions
The devil's beautiful inventions
It’s every woman I see now
‘Cause can't help but wonder
CHORUS
Even the oldest scripture lies
About the hunger in her eyes
My final bows are taken
I’ve seen hollow vows forsaken
For a dollar and a kiss
‘Cause I can't help but wonder
CHORUS
When You Lose a Friend
When you lose a friend
You can't deny or pretend
That no sacrifice occurred
The lights are never blurred
You don't forget a word
Memories never end
When you lose a friend
You left a mark on me
You sang in the major key
Walked your own line
Sounded so fine
May your boots always shine
Memories never end
When you lose a friend
You said "Son, follow my trail”
“I believe that my ship has set sail”
“Lord I'm headin' toward the sky
And it doesn't matter why”
Though your heart is off to sea
Here with us you'll always be
But when events unfold
Your spirit has to roll
Even if you’ve got a golden soul
Memories never end
When you lose a friend
Memories never end
When you lose a friend
When you lose a friend
When you lose a friend
Head To Toe
Guess it’s physical
Not a miracle
The way you make me feel
It’s conditional
Too emotional
I wanna make it real
My lips are dry like the desert sand
There’s a storm inside my heart
You smile
You laugh
From head to toe I have fallen
We kiss
We collide
From head to toe I have fallen
It’s reactional
How I see it all
So perfectly unfold
This is what I’ve craved
Now my soul is saved
It used to be so cold
My eyes are wide like the desert sky
There’s a song inside my head
You smile
You laugh
From head to toe I have fallen
We kiss
We collide
From head to toe I have fallen
We touch
Caress
From head to toe I have fallen
You scream
I cry
From head to toe I have fallen
We smile
We laugh
We are one
Putting Out The Flame
To keep my heart in my chest
I might not get to you by nightfall
It's gonna be a close call
But you don't need me anyway
It's time to shift the blame
On the move, I just can't stay
I know that it’s a shame
But I'm puttin out the flame
And I lowered my speed
I’ve been a slave to the interstate
Still I’m always runnin’ late
But they don't need me anyway
I've always been the same
I've got time to kill today
I know that it’s a shame
I'm puttin out the flame
On the roof of my car, layin under the star that sent me here
The moon hangs in the air, teasing her hair, she seems so near
Next to her is where I oughta be, where mankind can't bother me
Morning is starting to glow
But I just don't know
Please don't take offense
But it doesn't make sense
You expected be to be there
I've proven that I don't care
You don't need me anyway
It's time to shift the blame
My blood is red, this road is grey
I know that it’s a shame
But you don't need me anyway
It's time to shift the blame
There's a few things I could say
But I don’t play that game
I’m putting out the flame
Falcon Ridge
I’m gonna pack my things and go
To a traveling show
The moon is hangin’ low
I’m gonna pack my things and go
I don’t know what I’ll see
Just goin’ on a spree
I’m in good company
I don’t know what I’ll see
Flyin’ up to Falcon Ridge
Flyin’ up to Falcon Ridge
Starlight all around
That high and lonesome sound
Sleepin’ on the ground
With starlight all around
Hangin’ over Falcon Ridge
Hangin’ over Falcon Ridge
Now I can almost see
What’s been laid out for me
By love and destiny
By love…
I’m gonna pack my things and go
To a traveling show
That moon is hangin’ low
I’m gonna pack my things and go
Flyin’ up to Falcon Ridge
Flyin’ up to Falcon Ridge
Flyin’ up to Falcon Ridge
I'm A Rambler Now
I got nothin’ to say to you babe
Nothing that would change your mind
I used to love you but we got twisted
No one likes to be unkind
But I’m a rambler now
I’m a rambler now
Sweet salvation almost has me
In the valley where the trains don’t run
I can drink down six shots of whiskey
Or fire six shots from my gun
‘Cause I’m a rambler now
I’m a rambler now
You can tell me that I’m wrong
But it’s time to move along
I’m a rambler now
But I got nothin to say to you babe
It don’t look like I’m turning back
I’ll pull my hat down over my eyes
And walk until the sky turns black
‘Cause I’m a rambler now
I’m a rambler now
You can tell me that I’m wrong
But it’s time to move along
I’m a rambler now
Oh I’m a rambler now
