Walkin' Down The Road

WALKING DOWN THE ROAD
I'm walking down the road
I'm walking down the road
Where I'm going, I don't know
I'm just walking down the road
Maybe I'll go to Mexico
Maybe I'll go to Idaho
It's pretty in June in Saskatoon
Way up through Alaska too
I'm walking down the road
I'm walking down the road
Where I'm going, I don't know
I'm just walking down the road
Guitars, harmonicas
Living the life I wanna, 'cause
9 to 5's monotonous
Traveling life is all or bust
Got no troubles, go no cares
I'm free and clear as mountain air
Life's a dream, if you dare
Close your eyes, it'll take you there
18-wheelers pass me by
Some stop to offer rides
Driver says, "Supposed to rain"
That's when I smile and say
I'm walking down the road
I'm walking down the road
Where I'm going, I don't know
I'm just walking down the road

DOESN'T IT FEEL GOOD TO BE A FREE MAN?
I can see who I wanna see
I can be who I wanna be
Doesn't it feel good to be a free man?
I can go where I wanna go
I can know what I wanna know
Doesn't it feel good to be a free man?
Free, free as the breeze on a sweet summer's eve
I'm free to do as I please, no need to breath uneasy
Think what I wanna think
Drink when I wanna drink
Doesn't it feel good to be a free man?
I can do what I wanna do
I can screw who I wanna screw
Doesn't it feel good to be a free man?
I can say what I wanna say
Play what I wanna play
Doesn't it feel good to be a free man?
I can see who I wanna see
I can be who I wanna be
Doesn't it feel good to be a free man?

Children Of God

CHILDREN OF GOD
What's going on?
It feels like my conscience is trying to tell me to stay
That patience is a virtue, to wait won't hurt you at all
Is this fate standing proud and tall?
Or my own blind faith with its back to the wall?
Children of God, if that's all we are
Never stray too far from the brightest star
What's going on?
The legs of an angel lead to the savior, I know
But is this how it's supposed to be?
Ten temptations testing me and my soul
It feels like forever is too long
To leave behind what'll miss me when I'm gone
Children of God, if that's all we are
Never stray too far from the brightest star
What if I leave you naked?
Out of touch with what once was sacred
Nothing left but the law of the flesh
And the will to un-break it
An ancient book and a vision of the fall
Your own blind faith with its back to the wall
Children of God, if that's all we are
Never stray too far from the brightest star
Children of God, if that's all we are
Never stray too far from the brightest star

Sunny Side Of The Moon

SUNNY SIDE OF THE MOON
Out in the middle of nowhere
Flowers circle the sun
Leaves of many colors breed
Life when crimson runs
Oh, the mountains and the wide open plains
Steal you away in a silent parade
And leave you with nothing to say
Summer's come and spirit's high
This is what it's all about
Floating on a river of rose petal tea
In a boat with the bottom falling out
Up, up, and away
Into the great unknown
You're an abandoned balloon on a journey
To the sunny side of the moon

WINGS
Everybody's growing wings and flying away
They are leaving, but I'll remain
I will sing this sad song soft and slow
To bring you down before you go
Old friends become ghosts
When you cannot love yourself
And you'll find you starve when you try too hard
To love someone else
Will I ever be happy?
Why should I try if I am just waiting around to die?
There's no reason for a man to carry on
When the one he loves has left and gone
Old friends become ghosts
When you cannot love yourself
And you'll find you starve when you try too hard
To love someone else
Everybody's growing wings and flying away
They are leaving, but I'll remain

Howling At The Moon
02:47

HOWLIN' AT THE MOON
Chaotic box called the mind
Tricked me and locked me inside
Choked me and stripped the spirits from my eyes
Only silence hears the cries
Before too long I'll be hearing voices
And making irrational choices
Hallucinating and hearing noises
Mumbling sounds like words disjointed
Spend the day staring at the sky
Never stopped to wonder why
I can't decide if I'm alive
Inside of deaths disguise
Tomorrow may come a little too soon
Shadows of night, a melancholy tune
Sleeping through dawn, dying at noon
Six feet below, howling at the moon

MY OH MY
My oh my, how the time does fly
Why oh why must tears be cried?
You are a hazy half moon
In the night's starry sky
You and you, and me and me
Two and two does not make three
Just go, walk on down the road
Your love has set you free
Seems to me this happens every time I open my eyes
Love is blind, but only for a while
And then it see. And then it leaves.
My oh my, how the time does fly
You are a hazy half moon
In the night's starry sky

Ah Love

AH, LOVE
Ah love, you never know the way it'll go
It'll lift you up or drag you down
The long and lonely road
Ah love, you gotta play to win
You gotta take a chance and lay your luck on the line
You gotta throw it all in
If we could see the future inside a crystal ball
We'd calculate every step and never have the privilege to fall
Ah love, I've put down my shield
My heart yearns for everything true
Now before you I kneel
Take me in and teach me how to do no wrong
Let love release me into a better song
Life is mine to live and I want to live it right
When my soul is heaven, pure will be the light
Pure will be the light.

YELLOW SKINNED WOMAN BLUES
Prisoner in the basement room
Prisoner in the basement room
Waitin' on a yellow skinned woman to turn blue.
Come on telephone, don't ring on me now
Come on telephone, baby don't ring on me now
My conscience couldn't take it
She'd surely break down
Freedom is just one woman away
Freedom is just one woman away
Baby I need your lovin' to break these chains
Prisoner in the basement room
Prisoner in the basement room
Waitin' on a yellow skinned woman to turn blue.

FREEDOM WITHIN SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Well, I'm broke. I got no money
But it don't matter, it's just money
I may die tomorrow or I may die today
Why would I wanna go to work anyway?
I've been lost and I've been won
Loneliness is the cost of gettin' things done
I've got a friend who just signed her life away
She found security in a ball and chain
There's a cigarette dangling from the mouth
Of a withered and frail Fijian woman
Her fingers are thin and her lips are blue
Look into her eyes and she'll analyse you
There's tough times all around
There's money, fags, and joints on the ground
There's a balcony to jump off if you feel the need to do it
If you think about the future and say, "screw it."
Everybody's got the dollar sign disease
Think about a million bucks and get weak in the knees
But I'm just a hypocrite, guilty as charged
The purest form of freedom can be found behind bars
Punch the clock and buy some time
With mushroom tea and Japanese plum wine
Maybe we can wake up in a dream
Where nothing is exactly what it seems
Maybe we can wake up in a dream
Where nothing is what it seems

I CAN'T PROMISE YOU ETERNITY
You gotta do what you gotta do
Sometimes it hurts
You gotta do what you gotta do
Before it gets worse
This ain't nothing new
This ain't nothing new to me
This ain't nothing new
It's only new to you
You gotta do what you gotta do
Once the sights are set
You gotta do what you gotta do
Move on but never forget
This ain't nothing new
This ain't nothing new to me
This ain't nothing new
It's only new to you
Every bridge burned is a heavy lesson learned
Don't build your world around me
I can't promise you eternity

HERE COMES 2012
Take that bible off the shelf
Here comes 2012, here comes 2012, here comes 2012
Take that bible off the shelf
Here comes 2012
2012, 2012, 2012...
There's nothin' more to say
Get on your knees and pray
On your knees and pray, on your knees and pray
There's nothing more to say
Get on your knees and pray. Pray, pray, pray...
Repent or you will go
To desolation row, desolation row, desolation row
Repent or you will go
To desolation row
Repent or go down below
There's no postcard to send from the end
No postcard to send from the end
There's no postcard to send from the end
It's the end, my friend, the end.
Take that bible off the shelf
Here comes 2012
Here comes 2012, Here comes 2012
Take that bible off the shelf
Here comes 2012, 2012, 2012, 2012..

When I Get Home

WHEN I GET HOME
When I get home
I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
Though my heart may explode along the way
When I get home
I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
I smell your skin in the wind
I feel you in everything I touch
I never thought that being apart
Would cause me to miss you this much
When I get home
I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
Though my heart may explode along the way
When I get home
I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
Guitars play on a sunny summer day
Foreign eyes glance me way
I can't help but look away
Lover, I'm not ashamed to say
When I get home
I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
Though my heart may explode along the way
When I get home
I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow

TO THE QUEEN
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
With you, and you love me too
You're the one, you're the one, you're the one
For me, and I'm the one you need
Our souls intertwine like grapes on a vine
Sweet and fine, like soft sunshine
When we kiss, when we kiss, when we kiss
We kiss the world away, and that's the way we'll stay
That's how we'll stay
