Nomad
High desert white lightnin' rain
Road rush by, cactus point the way
Afraid to check my speed
Goodbye New Mexico
We took enough of each other's souls
Take your lessons every where I go
I’m gonna miss sunset painted snow
My Fathers before must have traveled like me
‘Cause this runs really deep
Since I was a boy, it's been spurrin' me on
Can't slow down, afraid ta check my speed
Sorry girl, must be movin' on
I wish ya all the best, have done all along
Don't cry, I'll be back this way
You say you envy my life but once again
Ahead of me's the road I'm sayin' bye to another friend
I got two states behind me and a lifetime ta go
But the way you make me feel sure make it hard to go
So later boys, man we had some fun
I'm gonna miss ya, each and every one
But the nomad in me calls, what he say must be done.
Still don't know what I'm lookin' for
Or if it can be found
But the road that so clearly called out to me now say slow
Cause there's things that you should see.

Rained On

Gonna get rained on
Every now and again a storm cloud comes
Gonna get rained on
Oh no worries
Everybody gets rained on
The sun always comes out
Come the rain
And if your load bringin’ ya down
Oh no worries
Flood gonna float you out
Come the rain
Cast yourself back when you was young
Oh no worries
Remember breathe in and breathe out
Come the rain
Gonna get rained on
Dance naked like the earth was young
Gonna get rained on
Oh no worries
Everybody gets rained on
Pain all wash away
Come the rain
Gonna get rained on
Every now and again a storm cloud comes
Gonna get rained on
Oh no worries
Everybody gets rained on
The sun always comes out
Come the rain

Jeremiah
05:05

Jeremiah rode on the desert rowed on the sea
Put it all in a book y’all ought to read
Jeremiah rode in a turban dirty but tied
So everyone knew Jeremiah
Everybody mocked Jeremiah beyond their reach
Shunned his book, no one see
His humble text Jeremiah under lock and key
So no one knew Jeremiah
He would draw you in
Make you look again
Turn your spirit in
Raise your voice again
Some said thief Jeremiah some said Saint
None of them new Jeremiah
Said he go to the end, peer off the edge
Dare to face your own Jeremiah
He would just blend in
Then appear again
If he let you in
Would you betray a friend, no
He can look within
Beneath the skin
Makes you look again
Never betray a friend
Jeremiah

Prodigal Son
04:29

Daddy was a preacher, real self-righteous man
Schooled me religion with the back side of his hand
He left my Mother, and took the church treasury
That was his last sermon, but it sure helped me to see
You have got to be a sinner if you want to be forgiven
If you never been in trouble then you ain’t got no reason to pray
Oh Lord let me shine as your tarnished example
Can’t return to the flock ‘cause I am not done goin’ astray
When I was a young boy I stepped out on my own
Found the righteous life left me skin and bones
I moved in with this Madam, she ran her own house
Kept all of her money in a role down in her blouse
You know I had to have that cash before she grew tired of me
Young man got to have green backs if he want to be free
You have got to be a sinner if you want to be forgiven
If you never been in trouble then you ain’t got no reason to pray
Lord let me shine as your tarnished example
Can’t go back to the flock ‘cause I am not done goin’ astray
Oh no I am the Prodigal Son
Rather beg forgiveness for all the things I done
Than permission of a sinner to the bone
Let he who’s without sin cast the first stone
Now I’m a little older but I still act younger than you
And in all of my travels, I learned one thing to be true
If you want to come to glory, you’d best have your fun
Tell them all you got your wisdom from the Prodigal Son…

Disappointed

You’re disappointed
Thanks for pointing that out
Subtle little way you have of putting me down
Felt like nails down a chalkboard
I’m trying to figure out
What’s so special ‘bout your life that I have to get out
You reap the embers of the life you sow
Hey, I like me
And I got friends that like me too
Things that make me happy, I do
Why is it the life I live I can no longer share with you
When so much of me came from you oh oh
So many things about us that we’ll never know
So many things we missed ‘cause you decided to go
What you plant just withers if you don’t help it to grow oh no
In the dust you reap the embers of the life you sow.
So I’ll live without you
See if I care
‘Cause even when you were around
You weren’t really there
You have run your last head game
You’re out of my hair
Even though I kinda liked
Yeah even though I kinda liked having you there
So many things about us that we’ll never know
So many things we missed ‘cause you decided to go
What you plant just withers if you don’t help it to grow oh no
In the dust you reap the embers of the life you sow.
But I wanna thank you for the places that the two of us went
They remain a part of me still
As do many of the things I am and the things I wanna be
Cause I am you and you are
So many things about us that we’ll never know
So many things we missed ‘cause you decided to go
What you plant just withers if you don’t help it to grow oh no
In the dust you reap the embers of the life you sow.

Not Goin’ Anywhere
Tonight
We all build spaces
We wall to keep us out
In your eyes I feel you shout
No voice at all, listen for the light
There we both agree
We Can Go Anywhere
We Like
We both been places
Can’t find your way out
But now I feel turn around
From down the hall I hear your heartbeat drummin’ out
And stayin’ in is our only way out
You and I slip into the night
Leave the ground behind
If we both agree that it feels right
We can both agree
We Can Go Anywhere
Tonight
A million faces
Can’t find their way out
Wanna feel turn around
In the night feel us reaching out
We can all agree
We’re Not Goin’ Anywhere
If we disagree.

Move On

This alley used to be a market
Anything you wanted, you could probably find it
But now look around
Pretty girl does her shopping in her bare feet
Run around the corner for a chance at a chance meet
Your eyes meet, your heart beats but now you’re alone
You on your own, no callin’ home, no telephone
No home sweet home, no mega phone, no radio
No comfort zone, got vertigo, no where to go
Why can’t we move on
Broken glass where you used to get your coffee
Radio blastin’ from the taxie
A heartbeat, pumping’ out a backbeat, givin’ rhythm to the whole street
Now you feel the eyes upon you
Just you two no one to warn you
You’re alone here, you’re a foreigner
No radio, no callin’ home, no telephone
Nowhere to go no mega phone, you on your own
No comfort zone, got vertigo, no home sweet home
Why can’t we move on

Gonna move to Colorado in my Datsun B210
Cost five hundred dollars but my bike cost me three grand
Got my teles and my snowboard, scarpas and my rope
I just wish someone had clued me to the rules
It seems you’re not allowed to raft in Converse, cut-offs or t-shirt
Like ya did when you was just a kid
There’s no macro brews or inner-tubes if you go for a float
You’d best swim with yer feet downstream ya gaper
I was a gaper, I was a gaper
But I stuck a native sticker on my Subaru
I was a gaper I was a gaper
But one day I’ll be a native Coloradan
So my Bro says let’s got go skiin’ I got a hut for the weekend
So I picture hunkrin’ down and mashin’ on ‘em with my friend
After seven miles in knee high snow up-hill the whole damn way
Sure wish someone had clued me to the rules
It seems that skiin’s not fer skiin’ it’s fer showin’ off yer gear
Noone really goes downhill ‘round here
‘Less its 55 derees or more and yer huckin’ off a cliff
And ya best not ski in blue jeans here ya gaper
I was a gaper, I was a gaper
But I stuck a native sticker on my Subaru
I was a gaper I was a gaper
Now my dogs have their own snowshoes and I pick up their poo
I was a gaper I was a gaper But someday I’ll be a native Coloradan
So I thought I’d get my new bike down and take her fer a spin
Its got 50 gears and disc brakes and somethin’ called clip ins
So I climbed aboard but I couldn’t get my foot out when I stopped
So I cow-tipped cause I didn’t know the rules
It seems yer not allowed to ride in shoes that you can walk in too
No, the clip-in shuffle’s somethin’ you must learn
And a sponsor’s multi-colors must adord you lycra suit
And you’d best not ride in single file ya gaper
I was a gaper, I was a gaper
But I stuck a native sticker on my Subaru
I was a gaper I was a gaper
Now my dogs have their own snowshoes and I pick up their poo
I was a gaper I was a gaper
I was a gaper I was a gaper
‘Cause I refuse to wear spandex when I ride bikes with you
I was a gaper I was a gaper
But someday I’ll be a native Coloradan
I was a gaper, I was a gaper
But I stuck a native sticker on my Subaru
I was a gaper I was a gaper
Now my dogs have their own snowshoes and I pick up their poo
I was a gaper I was a gaper
I was a gaper guess I’ll always be a gaper
‘Cause I refuse to wear spandex when I ride bikes with you
I was a gaper I was a gaper
Guess I’ll never be I’ll be a native Coloradan
