They Even Use the Hooves (Odds & Ends 1991-2003)

I Miss (Demo)

I just called to let you know
That I’m coming home tonight
I couldn’t wait, let’s make a date
I’ll book a red-eye flight
When tomorrow comes
I’ll be laying close to you
Day and night, I’ll hold you tight
We’ve got catching up to do

I miss your hands, I miss your laugh
I miss your feet
I miss the way you lose your keys
And those little songs you sing
I miss your everything

The time we spend apart
Just makes me love you more
When I do without, I dream about
What you might have in store
You know that thing they say
It’s cliché but it’s true
Because everyday that I’m away
I fall more in love with you

I miss your smile, I miss your eyes
I miss your knees
I miss the way you hold my hand
And you fiddle with my ring
I miss your everything

I miss your eyes, I miss your laugh
I miss your feet
I miss the way you lose your keys
And those little songs you sing
And all the joy you bring
I miss your everything

I miss your every little everything…

Restless Heart (Demo)

Some days I’d like to disappear
Without a trace
Just move from here
To somewhere that I’ve never seen or been
Start again

Or maybe you would come with me?
No questions asked
Better to be
Lost together than be found apart
Restless heart

Some days I’d like to build a wall
Around this house
So tall
Never have to face the world again
Goodbye friend

Or maybe you would live with me?
No questions asked
Better to be
Locked up together than be free apart
Restless heart

Some days I’d like to drive away
Without a word
Just leave one day
Always moving, call the road my home
All alone

Or maybe you would come with me?
Endless highway
Boundless sea
You and I could make a brand new start
Restless heart

Lullaby (Alternative Version)

Close your eyes baby
Turn out the lights
You’ve been fighting sleep for an hour
Let’s call it a night
In the morning when you wake up I’ll hold you
Kiss your cheek
As you slowly wipe the sleep from your eyes
And you smile
I’ll grow weak

I was alone and drifting
Yes, it’s true
Until that breathtaking moment
I first laid eyes on you
I finally felt forgiven
I finally felt the worth
That I never felt was due me
In all the years
That I’d stumbled on this earth

And I…
I love you twice around the world
To the stars up in the sky
And I…
Will give you all my everything
Until the day I die

Life’s not always easy
Hard times lay ahead
Mistakes will be made
Harsh words will be said
Just know that I love you
And I’ll love you as long as I live
There’s nothing in this world you could do
That I couldn’t forgive

And I…
I love you twice around the world
To the stars up in the sky
And I…
Will give you all my everything
Until the day I die

* It's a Heartache (Not Included on Download)

It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re down

It’s a fool’s game
Nothing but a fool’s game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him ’til your arms break
Then he let’s you down

It ain’t right with love to share
When you find he doesn’t care for you
It ain’t wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you

Oh, it’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re down

It’s a fool’s game
Nothing but a fool’s game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It ain’t right with love to share
When you find he doesn’t care for you
It ain’t wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you

Oh, it’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
You love him ’til your arms break
Then he let’s you down

It’s a fool’s game
Standing in the cold rain
Feelin’ like a clown
It’s a heartache
Love him ’til your arms break
Then he let’s you down
It’s a fool’s game

Hard Luck Train (Demo)

Climb aboard
Of this hard luck train
Climb aboard
Gonna make you share my pain
Take my hand
And I’ll drain the life from you
Make you hate and hurt
And cry the way I do

There you are
With your hair-trigger smile
There you are
Got compassion by the mile
You’re alive
But baby not for long
You are kind and weak
But I am mean and strong

Climb aboard
And I’ll double-lock the door
Tell your friends
You won’t be seeing them no more
All your dreams
Will lay scattered across the track
Take my hand
And there ain’t no turning back

Climb aboard
And I’ll double-lock the door
Tell your friends
You won’t be seeing them no more
All your dreams
Will lay scattered across the track
Take my hand
And there ain’t no turning back

Climb aboard
Of this hard luck train
Climb aboard
Gonna make you share my pain
Take my hand
And I’ll drain the life from you
Make you hate and hurt
And cry the way I do

You're in Love (Demo)

Everything is shimmering
The sun seems to shine
In the dead of the night
You roll out of bed
She’s in your head
Wondering when
You might see her again

There’s nothing you can do
Surrender, give up
Let it take hold of you
Boy, you’ve fallen hard
It’s as clear as the heart on your sleeve
You’re in love
You’re in love

You’re always late
Can’t concentrate
When you’re not around her
Your mind seems to wander
But when she’s there
You’re so aware
Of the earth and the sky
You can’t fight it, don’t try

There’s nothing you can do
Surrender, give up
Let it take hold of you
Boy, you’ve fallen hard
It’s as clear as the heart on your sleeve
You’re in love
You’re in love

Traffic lights
Mosquito bites
Can’t bring you down
‘Cause you have her around
When she’s there
You’re so aware
Of the world, all it’s wonder
Let love pull you under

There’s nothing you can do
Surrender, give up
Let it take hold of you
Boy, you’ve fallen hard
It’s as clear as the heart on your sleeve
You’re in love
You’re in love

Force a Smile (Demo)

Force a smile
Hold my hand for a while
Not going to worry, not going to cry
Not tonight

Swallow the pain
You never complain
If anyone here is scared
It’s me, not you

I won’t doubt
That things will work out
Just look me in the eye
And make me believe

You and I
Avoiding eyes
We both know the score
Here tonight

Force a smile
Hold my hand for a while
Just look me in the eye
And make me believe

* The Christmas Song (Not Included on Download)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by the choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is going to spy
To see if reindeer’s really know how to fly

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you, Merry Christmas to you

* Nashville Blues (Not Included on Download)

The day I left home
My mama cried
I told her I got talent that can’t be denied
Quit my job
Packed up the car
Headed to Nashville to become an Opry star

It’s been my dream
From a tender age
To sing my songs from the Opry stage
In a ten gallon hat
And two-toned boots
A J-200 and a three-piece rhinestone suit

Oh Lord, What’ll I do?
Headed to Nashville
With the I-wanna-be-a-star blues

I pulled into town
And I hit the street
Looking for a rich record mogul to meet
Hand me a check and a big contract
Cut a hit record
And never look back

Oh Lord, what’ll I do?
Standing in Nashville
With I-wanna-be-a-star blues

Lord all mighty this town can be cold
Sleeping in the back seat is sure getting old
Headin’ back home sure sounds sweet
Home cooked meals and clean white sheets

I’ve been here a month
And still no luck
I took me a job driving a truck
It was good enough for Elvis
Hell, it’s good enough for me
Spending my paychecks down at The Opry

Oh Lord, what’ll I do?
Stuck here in Nashville
With the I-wanna-be-a-star blues…

Let Go (Demo)

I’m driving alone
It’s late at night
It feels like a movie
In black and white

I turn off the road
I turn off the lights
Shut off the car
Stare into the night

And the cornfield seems to breath…

Let go
Of the things you can’t control

There’s something wrong
Way deep down inside
You’ve been given so much
Yet you want to let it slide

Let go
Of the things you can’t control

And I say
Don’t be surprised
And I say
You know it’s a lie
Yeah, you know it’s all a lie

I’m driving alone
It’s late at night
It feels like a movie
In black and white

Tomorrow Is Too Late (Demo)

Turn your head
You can’t look me in the eye
So we’re through
No excuse, no kiss goodbye
Well O.K.
You do what you’ve got to do
But I know
That it’s me that pays not you

I don’t get what you’re trying to do
It hit so quick, so out of the blue
I’m getting old, way too old for this
All the time that’s passed
All the things that I’ve missed
Tell me now
Because tomorrow is too late

You’re so weak
You should have done this long ago
Yeah, it hurts
Seems I’m always the last to know

I don’t get what you’re trying to do
It hit so quick, so out of the blue
I’m getting old, way too old for this
All the time that’s passed
All the things that I’ve missed
Tell me now
Because tomorrow is too late

From my room
I just let that doorbell ring
Give it up
Sorry doesn’t change a thing

I don’t get what you’re trying to do
It hit so quick, so out of the blue
I’m getting old, way too old for this
All the time that’s passed
All the things that I’ve missed
Tell me now
Because tomorrow is too late

Summer Kind of Sad (Demo)

The first night that we met
I passed out on your floor
In the morning you were holding me tight
I knew trouble was in store

Couldn’t shake you with my drinking
Couldn’t lose you with my lies
Seems the less that I gave you
The more that I’d hurt you
The harder you’d try

You didn’t know any other way
Love meant that you had to stay

So your Daddy was a drinker
Did he pull your chain too tight?
I ain’t no Freud, but there has to be a reason
Why I’m your Mr. Right

Standing here, nothing left to say
Always knew it would end this way

We’ve got that summer kind of sad, baby
It doomed us from the start
Now I’m drinking like crazy
Trying to release the guilt
That’s trapped in my heart

You’ve got a quiet way of crying
Your heart holds back too much
You’re too quick to forgive
You’re too quick to give
An ‘it’s all right’ touch
And I know what your gonna say
True love don’t just walk away

We’ve got that summer kind of sad, baby
It doomed us from the start
Now I’m drinking like crazy
Trying to release the guilt
That’s trapped in my heart

We’ve got that summer kind of sad
It’s gone on way too long
You can’t begin and you’ll never win
Against a sadness that strong

Standing here nothing left to say
Always knew it would end this way

Il Mio Cuore (Demo)

The moon in your eyes takes me back
To the first night we met
You stood in the door
That dress that you wore
I will never forget
Your smile stole my heart
Your smile stole my heart
I’ll remember always
Until the end of my days
How your smile stole my heart

The first time your hands touched my face
I could feel the stars shift
Lonely no more, a lost ship finding shore
You’re love such a gift

Con tutto,
Il mio cuore
Il mio cuore

My love and a ring
This song that I sing you
With all of my heart

With all of my heart
With all of my heart
My love and a ring
This song that I sing you
With all of my heart

So Far Away (Demo)

It’s so nice to hear your voice
Yeah, we’re doing fine
How’s the weather there?
How are those boys of mine?
Nothing changes here, nothing’s new
So glad to hear that things
Are going well for you

You’re so far away
You’re so far away
You’re so far away
We miss you everyday

Did you get that box I sent?
Was it in one piece?
I saw Catherine at the store
You know, Shirley’s niece
The boys sound so grown up
They sound so old
It’s snowing here again
IIt’s just been so darned cold

You’re so far away
You’re so far away
You’re so far away
We miss you everyday

I need a Christmas list from you
Will you be coming home?
I can’t hear a thing
On this old telephone
I get so sad this time of year
I don’t know why
I told myself this time
I wouldn’t cry

You’re so far away
You’re so far away
You’re so far away
We miss you everyday

I'll Be Strong (Demo)

I was born here near Macon
In 1843
Pa moved us to Peron
My mama, my brother and me
We built up a small farm
Worked it hard everyday
Then ma took with a fever
We watched as she wasted away
The Lord finally took her
It was early that fall
Then the army come-a-knockin’
Pa and Jonah
They answered the call

We’ll be strong
Carry on…

They marched out of Darden
Under Robert E. Lee
Pa fell at Antietam
Jonah somewhere in west Tennessee
The poor boys done the fighting
But it wasn’t their war
They risked all to gain nothing
I guess honor was what they died for

I’ll be strong
Carry on…

They blew through the county
Like a storm born of Hell
They burned all the cotton
They poisoned our well

Now I’m back here near Macon
With my pa’s family
I help out with the cattle
Lord I’m so lost, so lonely

I’ll be Strong
Carry on…

Sorry Doesn't Change a Thing (Demo)

I got up today
Turned the TV on
I closed my eyes
And a year was gone
It won’t come back
It won’t go away
Bits and pieces drift back
Every single day

Sorry doesn’t change a thing
No, sorry doesn’t change a thing

I try to sleep
It’s a losing fight
I lie in bed on trial
Every single night
I have to hope
This will end someday
Forgive myself and let these memories
Fade away

Sorry doesn’t change a thing
No, sorry doesn’t change a thing

I got up today
Turned the TV on
I closed my eyes
And a year was gone
All that wasted time
Wasted energy
Wasted love and
Painful blurry memories

Sorry doesn’t change a thing
No, sorry doesn’t mean a thing

Something's Gotta Happen (Demo)

What kind of man am I?
When the going gets tough
And I just hang my head and cry
See you running for the bus
You’re six months pregnant
Your clothes don’t fit
I think my heart is going to bust

We need things that I can’t buy
We lay in bed at night
And I pretend I don’t hear you cry
God, I hate myself this way
But I swear I’m paralyzed
Anymore I don’t know what to do or say

Something’s got to happen
Something’s got to break
Because I’m not that strong
And I’ve had more
Much more than I can take

You didn’t bargain for this
For a sixty dollar ring
An ‘I do’ and a kiss
You get a fucked-up man like me
Beaten, broke and weak
And unable to even say sorry

Something’s got to happen
Something’s got to break
Because I’m not that strong
And I’ve had more
Much more than I can take

You know, I do believe
What I really want
Is for you to make me leave
God, I hate myself this way
But I swear I’m paralyzed
Anymore I don’t know what to do or say

Something’s got to happen
Something’s got to break
Because I’m not that strong
And I’ve had more
Much more than I can take

We Were Young (Demo)

Reaching out
I see you all alone
Through winter’s first soft snow
Through winter’s first soft snow

Fading back
You were young, the sky was gray
I remember you that way
I remember you that way

We were born
We were born that day
Then we died
In some small way

Fading back
I see you all alone
I can see you reaching out
Through winter’s first soft snow

Reaching out
I see you all alone
Through winter’s first soft snow
Through winter’s first soft snow

Fading back
You were young, the sky was gray
I remember you that way
I remember you that way

We were born
We were somehow born that day
Then we died
In some small way

Problem Solved (Demo)

She is the one who’s always sorry
She is the one who’s always wrong
She always felt that she was weak
And he caught on

She will bend until she breaks
The shit he gives she always takes
She’s not stupid, she’s just scared
To be alone

She feels her world grow smaller every day
The few friends that she had have drifted away
She learned long ago the way things work
When a coward is involved
Just sail the white flag
There, the problem’s solved

Her high school friends have long stopped calling
They know exactly what she’ll say
Some other time, some other night
Some other day

She feels her world grow smaller every day
The few friends that she had have drifted away
She learned long ago the way things work
When a coward is involved
Just sail the white flag
There, the problem’s solved

Still, nothing’s ever solved

Say Goodbye (Demo)

It seems like you and me, we move in circles
Hoping beyond hope for something good
Girl enough’s enough
Love it shouldn’t be this rough
I’ve stood for more than any human should

It seems our love has just become a habit
A bad one that we both know we should break
Anymore it just feels wrong
I think it’s time that we moved on
Don’t know how much more hurt my heart can take

I don’t need this anymore
I don’t love you any less
I’m sick and tired of feeling like
I’m trying to pass a test
Seems like everything we have here is a lie
It’s time I packed my bags and said goodbye

When I first met you I believed in true love
I’ve come to see that I was just naïve
Passion burned so strong
Couldn’t see that this was wrong
My head, it finally made my heart believe

Don’t beg me not to leave you
I won’t fall for that no more
This time it’s forever when I walk out of that door
Seems we’re way beyond the question as to why
It’s time I packed my bags and said goodbye

I give up on trying to make this work out
I surrender knowing I did what I could
We both know that it’s best
that we lay this thing to rest
It’s time to get out while the getting’s good

I don’t need this anymore
I don’t love you any less
I’m sick and tired of feeling like
I’m trying to pass a test
Seems like everything we have here is a lie
It’s time I packed my bags and said goodbye

Everything for You (Demo)

You are my all, my everything
God only knows the joy you bring me
I could watch you sleep all night
And how I love your tiny little fingers
And how I love your little toes
The way you smell, your precious nose
I really do love everything about you

I hope that someday I can be
The dad that my dad was for me
Love you always, good or bad
Hold you tight when you feel sad
Say I love you every night
Say I’m sorry when we fight
I really do love everything about you

I hope that someday when you’re older
You’ll find true love and always hold her
Tight at night, and tell her things
Feel the joy that true love brings
Make a difference, do what’s right
Follow your dreams and always fight
For those whose lives have not known grace

You are my all, my everything
Each day expands the joy you bring me
Everything about you is sweet
A perfect package, so complete
I know as the years go by
You’ll always be my special guy
I really do love everything about you
I really do hope that all your dreams come true

Low Road (Demo)

It blows in
Without a sound
Like paper in a puddle
You break down
Then it’s gone
And emptiness sets in
You’d give anything
If you could cry again

Yeah, I know
The doctors say
That they have these pills
To take your blues away
Still it’s hard
I can’t pretend
That it wouldn’t be like
Killing off a friend

It seems strange
But can’t you see
It’s there, it’s always
Been a part of me
And I’m scared
To let go
Of a big part of
The only me I know

Build it up
Tear it down
In this kingdom of dark dreams
I wear the crown
Every life
Every face that I see
Has a sad story
That overpowers me

In our hearts
We must trust
Or our dreams will turn to stone
Start to rust
Please hold on
Don’t let go
I’ll do my best
To never let it show

It blows in
Without a sound
Like paper in a puddle
You break down

Lost Without You (Demo)

I had a hole in my heart
I learned to live with the pain
Try to close doors to your past
Scars still remain

I’d toss and turn every night
Through dreams that all played out in gray
Then like a warm summer rain
You washed that away

What can I say?
I fall more in love with you every day
What can I do?
You are my everything
I would be lost without you

I built a wall that kept out love
You tore it down with a kiss
Fools dream of money and fame
But not happiness

What can I say?
I fall more in love with you every day
What can I do?
You are my everything
I would be lost without you

Wished on a star long ago
Never dreaming that it would come true
All of those doubts fell away
The day I met you

What can I say?
I fall more in love with you every day
What can I do?
You are my everything
I would be lost without you

No more loneliness, only happiness
Love’s gonna live here again

I hear bells a-ringin’
I hear birds a-singin’
Love’s gonna live here again
I hear bees a-hummin’
And I know the day’s a-comin’
Love’s gonna live here again

Love’s gonna live here
Love’s gonna live here
Love’s gonna live here again
No more loneliness, only happiness
Love’s gonna live here again
Love’s gonna live here again

An Open Letter to Lancelot Link (Demo)

I often think about Lancelot Link
And if he were here today
Faced with all the troubles now
What would he and Mata say?
Now that A.P.E. has been disbanded
And C.H.U.M.P. has been contained
The Baron and his minions
Have long since been arraigned

Lance Link
Please come back
Our way of life’s under attack
I believe and trust in you
P.S., bring back Mata, too

All the trouble in the Middle East
For you should be routine
The world won’t soon forget
You took out Ali Assasine
As for all of our anthrax woes
I know you’ll know what to do
Even Dr. Strangemind
Couldn’t hold a match to you

Lance Link
Please come back
Our way of life’s under attack
I believe and trust in you
P.S., bring back Mata, too

We’ve all heard the news about Darwin
How Alzheimer’s took its toll
I’m sure he’d call you back to A.P.E.
If he were in control
Word has it wicked Wang Fu
Has turned his back on crime
Credo drives a Checker Cab
And he calls from time to time

Lance Link
Please come back
Our way of life’s under attack
I believe and trust in you
P.S., bring back Mata, too

Never Like This (Demo)

Let’s make a pile of everything we own and burn it
Let’s cut our losses in this town and start again
You’ll never know how much I need you just to trust me
I ain’t felt this sure since I can’t remember when

It’s been forever since I felt you really loved me
And I guess I’ve probably made you feel the same
I’m not sure what it is that’s come between us
I can’t help but feel that somehow I’m to blame

I’ll love you and you’ll love me
I won’t mess it up you just wait and see
We’ll forget the past and pretend
It was ever like this

I’d give anything to sleep the way I used to
And to know you when I look you in the eye
We could live a life that we would both be proud of
I’m on my knees, please tell me that you’ll try

I’ll love you and you’ll love me
I won’t mess it up you just wait and see
We’ll forget the past and pretend
It was ever like this

I’ll love you and you’ll love me
I won’t mess it up you just wait and see
We’ll forget the past and pretend
It was ever like this

It was never like this…

Ol' Santy Claus (Demo)

Ol’ Santy brought Danny
A twelve pack of beer
Scott got a brand new yoga mat
Nick some Everclear
I got a DVD of Cannonball Run
All them hours of extras
Should bring big Christmas fun!

Ol’ Santy brought Danny
A bucket of wings
Scott got the new Sir Mix-A-Lot
Nick some new bass strings
I got some beefcake pics
Of David Ogden-Stiers
The ones I’ve had my eye on now
For oh-so-many years!

Ol’ Santy brought Danny
Some lime green shorty-shorts
Scott got a real sweet hookah pipe
And an ET doll that snorts
Nick and I each got a case
Of Dinty Moore beef stew
We wish you a Merry Christmas
May your New Years dreams come true
We wish you a Merry Christmas
May all your dreams come true

Dear You-Know-Who (Demo)

Dear you-know-who
I thought I’d write you a letter
Clear all these thoughts from my head
You’ve been walking through doors
In my dreams at night lately
I guess we’ve left too much unsaid

Dear you-know-who
I’ve tried to write you this letter
A hundred times over again
But all of these feelings
Inside overwhelm me
I don’t know where to begin

Loving you hurts
It feels like a curse
I could walk away try, to forget, to deny
I’d only feel worse
Isn’t love strange?
Some staggers, some flies
As it grows old, love may grow cold
Still it never dies
Dear you-know-who

After all that we’ve been through
You’d think we’d be closer
That years couldn’t tear us apart
It seems those that you love most
Those that you’d die for
Are the ones who will tear out your heart

Isn’t love strange?
It can heal, it can hurt
Lift you so high, to the stars in the sky
Drag you down through the dirt
Loving you hurts
Just makes me so sad
Wondering why I bother to try
Why I want it so bad
Dear you-know-who

* Guilty Just the Same (Not Included on Download)

These black bastards
They just howl all night
They call me trash
Well at least I’m white
I want out of this cage
Let me out of this zoo
I ain’t asking to walk out
A big, black hearse will do

They sent me a lawyer
Some bull-shittin’ Jew
I say fuck him
And fuck the ACLU
Just let it end here
Just let it end now
You could drag it out forever
But they’ll kill me anyhow

I know you want me dead
I say that’s just fine
While you’re at it
Kill that daddy of mine
I done what I done
And I sure accept the blame
I know I pulled the trigger
But he’s guilty just the same

I watched him fuck my sister
Watched him break my mama’s nose
He beat me near to death once
With a piece of garden hose
You can cry for the widow
For the shattered family
In my whole shit-filled life
No one’s ever cried for me

Cried for me…

I done what I done
And I sure accept the blame
I know I pulled the trigger
But he’s guilty just the same

The Whole World Thinks I'm Great! (Demo)

Achilles sing, O Goddess! Peleus’ son
His wrath pernicious, who ten thousand woes
Caused to Achaia’s host, sent many a soul
Illustrious into Ades premature
And Heroes gave (so stood the will of Jove)
To dogs and to all ravening fowls a prey
When fierce dispute had separated once
The noble Chief Achilles from the son
Of Atreus, Agamemnon, King of men

Where, where, are you tonight
Why did you leave me here all alone
I searched the world over
And thought I found true love
You met another and
Phht! you were gone

Who them to strife impell’d? What power divine?
Latona’s son and Jove’s. For he, incensed
Against the King, a foul contagion raised
In all the host, and multitudes destroy’d
For that the son of Atreus had his priest
Dishonored, Chryses. To the fleet he came
Bearing rich ransom glorious to redeem
His daughter, and his hands charged with the wreath
And golden sceptre of the God shaft-arm’d

Denny, Danny, Donny
Jocko, Bowzer, Lennie
Screamin’ Scott and Chico
Santini, Johnny, Vinnie

His supplication was at large to all
The host of Greece, but most of all to two
The sons of Atreus, highest in command
Ye gallant Chiefs, and ye their gallant host
(So may the Gods who in Olympus dwell
Give Priam’s treasures to you for a spoil
And ye return in safety,) take my gifts
And loose my child, in honor of the son
Of Jove, Apollo, archer of the skies

I took her home with me, we watched some TV
Annette Funicello and some guy going steady
I started fooling around with the vertical
We got the munchies so I made some spaghetti

Falling Sky (Demo)

I know right now
Things don’t seem bad
You don’t understand
What makes me feel so sad
Well, either do I
Hard as I try
It eludes me

Please believe me
When I say it’s not you
It’s nothing you said
There’s nothing you can do
It’s just deep-seated fears
From uncertain years
That haunt me

I grew up under a falling sky
Trying not to make waves
Trying hard not to cry
Long summer days
Wound up so tight
It’s a hundred degrees
We’re sitting on dynamite

Uncertain years
They took their toll
Left behind
This scared, sad soul
Afraid of bad news
And all I could lose
In an instant

Everyday
I forget a little more
Let a few more ghosts
Drift out that door
There were minor crimes
But given the times
All’s forgiven

We were sailing on an unsteady ship
Staying perfectly still
So nothing would tip
So afraid and all I could think
Is that I’d be the weight
That would cause this boat to sink

I grew up under a falling sky
Trying not to make waves
Trying hard not to cry
Long summer days
Wound up so tight
It’s a hundred degrees
We’re sitting on dynamite

Lie to Me (Demo)

Woke up this morning
A strange feeling hanging over me
Took me a minute
To recognize possibility
From somewhere way back
Came long-gone memories of wide-eyed days
I was a good boy
And I lived under a kind sun’s rays

Walk to the kitchen
Drink some coffee, my heart kicks in
I need a plan here
I’ve been reborn
Where do I begin?

Won’t be long ’til the clouds move in
Black dog days begin
So be it baby, that’s O.K.
Because it’s clear
Clear skies today

So just lie to me baby
Don’t say a word that will ruin this day
It’s not that often
That I that I can feel the world turn my way

Won’t be long ’til the clouds move in
Black dog days begin
So be it baby, that’s O.K.
Because it’s clear
Clear skies today

So just lie to me baby
Don’t say a word that will ruin this day
It’s not that often
That I that I can feel the world turn my way

Lie to me baby…

* So Lonesome I Could Cry (Not Included on Download)

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
That means he’s lost the will to live
I’m so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a night so slow
As time goes draggin’ by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I’m so lonesome I could cry
I’m so lonesome I could cry
I’m so lonesome I could cry

George & Tammy (Demo)

Why does it hurt
These things that you say
Even though
I know you’re too drunk to think
Why do I stay
When all that I get
Are more heartaches and bruises

Don’t you know
Your words aren’t enough
To make good all the things you’ve done
And anyway
I don’t need this heartbreak

Don’t ask me why
I do what I do
I guess
It’s one more over that line
I don’t mean to hurt you
I get so frustrated
I swear
My back’s against the wall

Don’t you know
You can’t push a man too far
I just reached my breaking point
That’s all
And anyway
It won’t happen again

Sometimes it’s okay
I think that you love me
And need me
Everything’s gonna work out fine

So just give me time
I can make you happy
I swear
Just give me a little more time

I know
My words aren’t enough
To make good all the things I’ve done
And anyway
You don’t need this heartache

The Ballad of Tallahassee Don

Breaker one-nine good buddies
This here’s Tallahassee Don
I know it’s late but I’m wondering if
Any y’all still got yer ears on

I pulled off the road about an hour ago
To try to get some rest
But there’s some thing’s been bothering me
I just need to get ’em off my chest

Well I realize I’m no saint
And I’m not a pretty man
I’m as the good Lord made me
And I do the best I can

My hemorrhoids is awful
And I’m grossly overweight
But I do love all God’s creatures
It’s just foreign folks I hate

And I guess I wouldn’t mind ’em
If they just stayed where they belong
Especially all them Mexicans
And them sneaky Viet Cong

Well I do my best to do what’s right
To live a christian life
And I ain’t never harmed a soul
Except my second wife

Yes Jesus is my savior
And through him I’ve been reborn
Still my third wife up and left me
When she found my stash of porn

It was steamy man-man action
Oily, hot, hardcore
But I ain’t gay or nothin’
I’d been married twice before

I wanna thank y’all for listenin’
I guess I’m just ’bout done
Oh, and if anyone wants a blowjob
I’ll be pulled off exit one

Don't Forget Me (Live Acoustic Performance)

This used to be my town
Now I feel I’m losing ground
They used to know my name
At least I had a taste of local fame

Hey, don’t forget me
Please don’t forget me when I’m gone

Now the crowds are growing thin
Man, you should have seen them way back when
Now I’m just another guy
They used to whisper when I walked by

Hey, don’t forget me
Please don’t forget me when I’m gone

I guess I knew it would end
That don’t make it any easier

Now the crowds are growing thin
Man, you should have seen them way back when

Hey, don’t forget me
Please don’t forget me when I’m gone
Yeah, don’t forget me
Please, don’t forget me when I’m gone

‘Cause on certain nights when the crowd’s just right
The magic can return
I took so much for granted then, I took so much for granted
I wish that I could take back all those years

Hey, don’t forget me
Don’t forget me when I’m gone
