Hippy Town (Westfall)

HIPPY TOWN
I came down to Hippy Town
I came to kick some shit around
in Hippy Town
I came to kick some shit around
Busker Bill on Baker street
Fat fingers moanin' old Hank
Busker Bill
Fat fingers pickin' ol' Hank

Modern day historic town
Traded in its horses for wheels
That's the way it goes
When you're trading horses for wheels
Beautiful women everywhere
Trapped in a town with freedom in the air
It's hard on a man's heart
Pretty girls and freedom in the air
Wonder where you'll be in 50 years
Saggy old hen with whiskers in your ears
Mienhao
Wrinkled woman with whiskers in your ears
Monday night 1AM
The city sleeps and the hippies dream
Smokin' weed
1AM and the Hippies smokin' dreams
I came down to Hippy Town
I came to kick some shit around
in Hippy Town
I came to kick some shit around

Save This Man (Mountain)

SAVE THIS MAN
He was just a boy
Thought he was a man
Taking on the world
As fast as he can
Lookin' straight ahead
Never left or right
Making every day
A Saturday night
Living was fast
The women came and went
Let alone all the money he spent
One look in her eyes
Everything changed
His whole life was rearranged
Taught me 'bout love
Taught me 'bout life
Taught me 'bout what was wrong and right
She came along just in time to save this man
From being lonely 'til his grave
Love, taught me 'bout life
Taught me 'bout what was wrong and right
She came along just in time to save this man
From being lonely 'til his grave
Thought I was livin' the good life
But I didn't have you for my wife
Livin' together, forever happy
It's a good life for you and me
Taught me 'bout love
Taught me 'bout life
Taught me 'bout what was wrong and right
She came along just in time to save this man
From being lonely 'til his grave
Love, taught me 'bout life
Taught me 'bout what was wrong and right
She came along just in time to save this man
From being lonely 'til his grave
Love somebody, gotta love somebody....

FREEDOM REIGNS
Clouds roll by like tumbling dice
Into the yonder blue
Tumblin' through the sky
Like they've got nothin' better to do
I wonder where they're going
I wonder if they're knowing
They're more free than you or me
Could ever hope to be
They disappear to be born again
I've been chasing frogs
Swimming in a lake of emerald green
I've been shopping logs
If you know what I mean
Time keeps tickin'
Fountain of youth is drippin'
I come here to escape
The fat man's rat race
Now me and those frogs, we're livin'
I throw back my head
Face toward the sun
Close my eyes and breathe
Good days have just begun, oh ya!
Sweetness in the breeze
Leaves me weak in the knees
What a beautiful place
There's God in the trees
Now I believe in angels
Miracles and halos
Spirit of the universe speaks to me
In love, just be
In love, just be.

MONEY DON'T MEAN THAT MUCH TO ME
Money don't mean that much to me
Money don't mean that much to me
I have a place where I can sleep
I seem to have enough to eat
Money don't mean that much to me
Money don't mean that much to me
I have enough to buy some clothes
I'm happy with the ones I chose
Money don't mean that much to me
Money don't mean that much to me
I have enough to get me by
Why be a rich man when you die?
Money don't mean that much to me
Money don't mean that much to me
I have my friends and family
And they don't put a price on me
Money don't mean that much to me
Money don't mean that much to me
The more I make, the more the government will take
So money don't mean that much to me
Money don't mean that much to me
Money don't mean that much to me
I am an artist, don't you see?
That choice came with no salary
Money don't mean that much to me
Money don't mean that much to me
I have a place where I can sleep
I seem to have enough to eat
I seem to have enough to eat

WISH I WERE A RAMBLIN' MAN
I wish I were a ramblin' man
And the highway were my home
I'd ramble round from town to town
A body born to roam
Thumb in the air, headlights glare
Livin' like a rolling stone
I long to see history
In the air of unknown places
Feel naked emotion
On ancient faces
I want to be where highway wind
Whips tumbling tumbleweeds
And leaves no traces
Railroad track stitched through
Picture perfect scenes
Postcard paintings
A young man's dreams
Golden valley stretched through
Soaring mountain peaks
Wild, raging rivers
Winding country streams
Drink a drink for the ramblers
May the best you've ever seen
Be the worst you'll ever see
Every mile's a gamble
On Drifter's Highway
May the boots on my feet
Be good friends to me
I wish I were a ramblin' man
And the highway were my home
I'd ramble round from town to town
A body born to roam
Thumb in the air, headlights glare
Livin' like a rolling stone
Livin' like a rolling stone.

TIME IN YOUR LIFE
There's a time in you life
Things start to change
A time in your life
Start feeling strange
Time in your life
You know you've got to move on
Stuck in a rut and it cuts like a knife
You're praying for the pain to be gone
A time in your life
Just a time in your life
It's a time in your life
Just a time in your life
Stars misaligned, you don't feel fine
But it's only for a time
Only for a time
Only for a short short time
Only for a real short time
A time in your life
Just a time in your life
It's a time in your life
Just a time in your life
Stars misaligned, you don't feel fine
But it's only for a time
Only for a time
Only for a short short time
Only for a real short time
A time in your life
Just a time in your life
It's a time in your life
Just a time in your life

HONEY YOU CAN ALWAYS COME HOME
When love has left you broken
And in need of the truth
I'll be here with open arms
When you realize you need to feel real love
I want you to know you can always come home
Honey you can always come home
I'll take you in and make a new start
Honey you can always come home
Home to the shelter of my heart
I know you feel that you're losing your mind
Lost, alone, and confused
Babe don't take it so hard, you'll be alright
Just take the time to find out who you are
And remember this
Honey you can always come home
I'll take you in and make a new start
Honey you can always come home
Home to the shelter of my heart

Dream Chaser (Mountain)
02:57

DREAM CHASER
Took a ride on a plane
Far away from my life
Far away from frustration
Far away from strife
Went away to escape
Came back to start anew
But my life was waitin' for me
I knew what I had to do
Make your own changes
'Cause things won't change unless you do
Nothing's accomplished
By just sittin' round feeling blue
You can do what you want
It may take a try or two, or three
But take it from me, you start chasing dreams
You start feeling more and more free
There's no guarantee that you'll make it
May be just reaching too high
But if you stay true to the things that you do
You might get a piece of the pie
There's one more thing left to tell ya
Don't let your days pass you by
Hold on to your dreams, as tough as it seems
You'll be fine as long as you try
Make your own changes
'Cause things won't change unless you do
Nothing's accomplished
By just sittin' round feeling blue
You can do what you want
It may take a try or two, or three
But take it from me, you start chasing dreams
You start feeling more and more free
Take it from me, you start chasing dreams
You start feeling more and more free

RIDE COWBOY RIDE
I'm gonna hit the highway
Head for another town
I never hang around long enough
To sink my boots into the ground
There's cold beer and pretty women
Waiting up ahead
I drink my fill, skip the bill
And hit the road again
Ladies love the gypsy bone
They eat it up like candy
Can't remember if last night
Was Shelly, Sue, or Sandy
Greasy truck-stop diner food
And a full tank of gas
Fresh six-pack and a good cigar
The world can kiss my ass
Ride cowboy ride
Ride cowboy ride
Ride cowboy ride
Ride cowboy ride
Two-wheeled silver bullet
With freedom to find
Life's a song and you're
Livin' every line
Ride cowboy ride
Ride cowboy ride
Ride cowboy ride
Ride cowboy ride

DARKNESS AND LIGHT
When darkness fills the air
You're filled with despair
Don't know how to carry on
Just pick up a guitar, the notes will take you far
Strumming of the strings is like heaven singing
Darkness comes
Doesn't mean it won't go soon
Pretty soon it will be gone
It's always darkest before the dawn
Have patience, it will go away
have patience, light is on the way
Have patience, it will go away
have patience, light is on the way
Darkness comes
Doesn't mean it won't go soon
Pretty soon it will be gone
It's always darkest before the dawn
Have patience, it will go away
have patience, light is on the way
Have patience, it will go away
have patience, light is on the way
Darkness comes
Doesn't mean it won't go soon
Pretty soon it will be gone
It's always darkest before the dawn
