LYRICS
Mexico & Me
Heading down the Baja Sur one-way
Todos bound
Gonna meet some friends along the way
Been too long
I been living where the sun can’t see
It’s time for Mexico & me
​
Found a place where friendly was the way
The locals played
Spent my days dropping into waves
Endless days
Watch the sun melt down into the sea
Only Mexico & me
​
Sha la la la la we go
There ain’t no rush in Mexico
No lo necesito rapido
Quiero mucho sol
​
Head into the city for supplies
Cheap mexi-brown
Lost track of Fuzzy
And the boys were Cabo drowned
I smoked my mind but stayed up to see
A little Mexico in me
​
Sha la la la la we go
There ain’t no rush in Mexico
No lo necesito rapido
Quiero mucho sol
Sha la la la la la we go
There ain’t no rush in Mexico
No lo necesito rapido
Me gusta mucho sol
​
Time to go back home
But my plane is broken down
So I head out on the town
A little too free
Tequila got the best of me
​
Good time Mexico & me
Little Mexico & me
Only Mexico & me
Good ‘ol Mexico & me
​
Sweet Cheeks
​
I’m so sad today
Can’t write another sad song
Stood there crying in the street
Set my phone on the sidewalk
Sweet Cheeks is what we called him
Smiling everywhere he went
Shotgun rifle and a will I cannot match
Is what it took all it took
Over the willow trees and the stubble field
The poplars see what the wind has freed
As your ashes turn to dust
I won’t forget the times we laughed and smiled
Though it’s been awhile I still remember
And I still believe that one day soon
I’ll see that smile again
Little sister with her eyes so bright
Man that laugh could tear you down
Locked the front door and pulled the trigger
While grandma cried we all cried
Over the willow trees and the stubble field
The poplars see what the wind has freed
As your ashes turn to dust
I won’t forget the times we laughed and smiled
Though it’s been awhile I still remember
And I still believe that one day soon
I’ll see that smile
Golden fields turn grey
Seasons take all they have gave
Big Ol' World
I’ve been a distance in this world that’s full of sin
Been to places that I thought would never see my face
Or hear my name
I’ve been a winner when the lights were shining bright
Been a loser and I’ve stumbled through the night alone
Far from home
This big ol’ world keeps turning ‘round
​
I’ve had the comfort of a woman by my side
Seen the flash of light that comes before you die
I’ve held precious ground
This big ol' world keeps turning 'round
​
There’s some things I’ve witnessed
I can’t seem to get out of my mind
For the life of me through all this talk
And all these queries
Everyone dissecting theories
No matter what the question is I try
I simply cannot find a reason why
​
I’ve cursed the angels when I couldn’t see the light
I’ve praised the devil I’ve mistaken wrong for right
I’ve wept on holy ground
This big ol' world keeps turning 'round
On My Own
I admit
Never thought I’d fall the way I did
Standing there
Magical summer in the rain and thunder
The small town
Laughed aloud in the hours of the dawn
I loved you
Mountains crumble as a river cuts right through
Into the soul
I’d never felt that way before
And when he called
I would stay
‘Til the morning comes
I must go on my way
I will go
Into the blowing snow and cold
On my way on my own
Winter passed
Darkness fading
And the sun is back at last
Rivers flow
Green grass is blowing
Oh so sweet
And all the smells
Bring me back to the place I left you
I could have changed
I would stay
'Til the morning comes
I must go on my way
I will go
Into the blowing snow and cold
On my way on my own
I would stay
Morning will come
Heavy snowflakes falling down on me
I will go
Blowing snow and cold
On my way on my own
​
​
Set Me Free
​
Take this burden off of me
So I can breathe
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what to believe
Whisper of the truth
Brings me to my knees
If you want the best for me
Then set me free
​
My legs are dying from just
Standing with these shackles
On my feet In the crowded street
Let me run flat out
And feel the open air against my skin
I wanna live again
​
And say a prayer for me
As I step out
I may lose everything
I still have doubt
The air beneath my wings
Rejuvenates my strength
If you really care for me
Then set me free
​
My legs are dying from just
Standing with these shackles
On my feet In the crowded street
Let me run flat out
And feel the air against my skin
I wanna live again
​
I know I’m just a fool
I've broken all the rules
If you’ve not forgotten me
Then set me free
​
Love is all I’ve got
I know it’s worth a shot
If you still believe in me
Then set me free
Melissa's Song
​
True love will you show
When darkness rules my world
I'm all alone
Will you calm the storm
Washed away gone
Silence remains
​
Time goes so slow
When air won't reach my lungs
Not breathing in at all
Darling where have you gone
​
I won't cry
You won't let me with those eyes
Hold my head high
My love I miss you
​
Where to from here
My dreams had just come true
This cannot be real
A shredded hallelujah
​
When the sky opens
I'll climb through
Lay in the clouds
Next to you
Worry
​
Worry would you pardon me
I’m going for a walk
I don’t wanna listen
I don’t want to talk
Sure you’ve got your reasons
Saying what you do
I just need to clear my head of you
‘Cause I know you won’t go away
Worry when I’m sleeping
Worry when I wake
Worry when I’m at my job
An’ when I play
Worry… worry my life away
I would say you’re driving me insane
I’m running from a ghost in the night
Fear has crippled me
Now I can’t fight
Lay off me your tongue like a knife
I know the truth you’re all lies
Everything you say
Being scared is necessary
Danger I must flee
Worry is just pointless
And will be the death of me
I’m running from a ghost in the night
Fear has crippled me
Now I can’t fight
Lay off me your slick talkin’ lies
I’m running from a ghost in the night
Fear has paralyzed me
I can’t get right
Hesitation cost me the light
I know the truth is everything’s fine
And I’m alright
I’ll be just fine
Get It Right
​
Spin me round and round
On the merry-go
I like the way the world
Blurs around me as I go
Leave it all behind
Spin me out of time
If I could walk away
Well I would have left by now
​
Ooh this time
I will get it right
​
Nothing left to say
I threw it all away
It was raining gold
I was soaked right to the bone
But I messed it up
Used up all me luck
If I had one more chance
I could be redeemed
​
Ooh this time
I will get it right
​
Now I’ve paid my dues
I got nothing left to prove
Give it everything
I have got to give
​
Just the other day
When the moment came
To turn a right from wrong
Stand up and be brave
I chickened out
Sold my courage out
Oh I’d rather get beat down
Than turn and run again
​
Ooh this time
I will get it right
Summertime Emotion
​
Days slow down
So I can take a breath and look around
Time stands still
Leaving me with nothing but myself
​
Laugh and cry
Summertime emotion in our eyes
Your sweet bare feet
Walking like an angel next to me
​
And I feel
The summer sun upon my skin it warms me
And I dream
That everybody loves me
Summertime emotion turn me on
​
Saturday
Watch the river take my cares away
Girls and cars
Adrenaline is rushing to my heart
​
And I feel
The summer sun upon my skin it warms me And I dream
That everybody loves me
Summertime emotion turn me on
Laugh Out Loud
​
Mister, mister, mister
Could you please tell me the time
I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting
Right here and I’m losing my mind
Maybe, maybe, maybe,
It’s all up in my head
And my baby, baby, baby
Will come soon around that bend
When it all
Comes crashing down, down, down
Do my best to laugh out loud
Watching, watching, watching
For the right turn in the road
Tell me, tell me, tell me
What’s the best that way I can go
When it all
Comes crashing down, down, down
Do my best to laugh out loud
You say it’s just a lie
Everything’s alright
I can’t see..
Lately I am wakening
Listen listen, listen
To the wise words in the breeze
It’s so crazy, crazy, crazy
What the hell is going on
When it all
Comes crashing down, down, down
Do my best to laugh out loud
When this world
Has got me down, down, down
Do my best to laugh out loud
Star Bright
​
Sun comes up the Rockies
Lights the northern sky
Across the windy prairies
From the Nova Scotia tide
The girl in Costa Rica
From the Venezuelan hills
Coast of Argentina
Through the South African swells
The highest peak in Sweden
North Atlantic breeze
Russia down to China
And the Indonesian seas
Star bright I
I watch you shine
Star bright my
One friend through the night
Benny in Australia
A heart ten miles wide
People in New Zealand
They always make me smile
Paddle out in Fiji
Warm transparent sheen
Lost in Polynesia
South Pacific dream
Star bright I
I watch you shine
Star bright my
One friend through the night
Back across the water
Of the Southern Georgia straight
We all share the same sky
And the night is getting late
Carry On
​
Heaven knows
We can’t get it right
My girl can’t sleep
And I know
The headlines got her wired
Oh we’re tired
And need some peace
​
When I heard about the trails
Across the sky
I rolled my eyes
When I listen in the wind
She whispered sweet
Something is not right
​
Do you remember
Back through September
The way that I could hold
My head up high
You’re my witness
You know it’s never been like this
Please help me to be strong
And carry on
​
There I go again
Chasing vain
Chasing the dream
This ruthless corporate tyrant
I’ve let take the wheel
Is killing me
It’s killing me
Carry on...
​
Do you remember
Back through September
The way that I could hold
My head up high
You’re my witness
You know I've never been like this
Please help me to be strong
And carry on
We Can Fly
​
This time last year I said
I was gona be somebody
Play my fingers to the bone
Make a better world for me and you
Girl the time has gone
Still I ain’t nobody
Wipe these teardrops from my eyes
Wet your lips move your hips
​
Maybe I was wrong
Thinkin' the world owed me somethin'
Where’s my kiss from the sky
Pot of gold a waitin’ on me
Now it seems to be
She don't owe me nothin'
She give all day long don't whine none
She don't cry time I give her back
​
Forget the words to say
They mean nothin’ anyway
We're all lost in the night
Stay with me girl I believe
We Can Fly
​
Time has come
To stand in the light
People falling down
A world burning
And I, I must be strong
​
Still I go on
Rain pushin’ me down
Can't see where I'm goin’
I don't know who I am
Why can't I be like you
Smilin’ and a jumpin’
Throwin’ sunshine from my eyes
Sexy body girl could make a man cry
​
Forget the words to say
They mean nothin’ anyway
In our heart we know what’s right
And love will set us free
You and I
We Can Fly
Dream Catcher
​
Dreaming all I know
Dreaming something more
Sometimes you gotta
Walk after a run
Don't judge me if I'm crawling
I'm chasin'
Dreams never give up on them
Dreams don't hold me down
Broken I'm not tired of trying
Trying think I'd be there now
Don't stop
Battered heart's still beating
Your time is coming soon
I'm chasin'
Dreams never give up on them
Dreams don't hold me down
Dreams endless pursuit goes on
Dreams can come true
I was a farm kid
Kinda unruly
Once a pretty girl said
"You're not that groovy"
I don't know what she did not see
'Cause it seems to me
This is how it be
She's still there
Greying hair
Ugly kids pissin'
In their underwear
And a dead beat dad
I never been so glad
I'm singing my songs
And chasin' my
Tortured Soul
​
I can see it in your eyes
Every time we speak of things
That make you shine
Well I know you know that I know
You need to climb yourself
Up so high
Away from this sinkin’ dive
Shine that light bright
You were always there
No matter where and willing
To help someone up
Lately you are the one
I can tell needs some help
Tortured soul
The tears come too easy now
An’ I know what it's like anyhow
To watch a strong
A full-grown man cry
And I've seen you
When you're goin' on
You got them moves
Like Jagger ‘till you come down
Now I met you there
And let's be fair you never
Left me on the ground
Lately you are the one
I can tell needs some help
Tortured soul
Feeling low
Lord knows I know
All it takes to stand
Is a helping hand
I will lift you up
Like you lifted me
Loser
Heaven knows
I’ve been searching all my life
To find somethin'
Heaven knows
The clock is winding down
I don’t have much time
Can you whisper
Secret to me dear
I’ll pay the highest price
If I’m a loser
And my fate is sealed in stone
I’ll lift you up I’ll push you on
Can't bear to see you cry
Fear thee love
You cut me and you burn
Where skin is soft
Tie me up
Pull me under 'till I pray
I admit feels better
Than feeling nothin'
​
Can you whisper
Secret to me dear
I’ll pay the highest price
If I’m a loser
And my fate is sealed in stone
I’ll lift you up I’ll push you on
Can't bear to see you cry
Hardened son
I've never seen you shy
And I know you could
Restless eyes
Say all they ever should
A hero to me let me say
I never told you
Can you whisper
Secret to me dear
I’ll pay the highest price
If I’m a loser
And my fate is sealed in stone
I’ll lift you up I’ll push you on
Can't bear to see you cry
Bleed
​
Blood don't hurt much
Pourin' out my vein
I remember what came before
An’ it sure did sting
Scars won't leave me I know
Memories outweigh pain
So I take ‘em to go
Don't look at me
Like you never seen someone
Who likes to bleed
All fall down
Blood flows
When the heart beats most
Give me some of that
Sweet, sweet love
I'll bleed my heart out
Broken glass on a windowsill
If a bird could speak
It just might tell
Fools we are
An’ the games we play
A broken wing can't fly away
I'd tell that bird
There ain't nothin’ good
Don't hurt, no
Take what's left
And somehow make it work
All fall down
Blood flows
When the heart beats most
Give me some of that
Sweet, sweet love
I'll bleed my heart out
Life's a gift they say
More like a loan it seems
All fall down
Ain't much changed since you left
Pride got big probably best
I can't cut you with my words
A knife blade to an open wound
It's worse much worse
All fall down
All fall down
Blood flows
When the heart beats most
Give me some of that
Sweet, sweet love
I'll bleed out
Darlin' I suppose
Really no one knows
Where we go
When the blood runs out
So let's bleed now
Where we go
When the blood runs cold
So let's bleed our hearts out
Highway To The Sun
​
Take the road from anywhere
Cross big river through the trees
Head out West straight for the sea
Wind cutting through my skin
Ridin’ rail and breakin’ trail
Watching for a place to sleep
Highway to the sun
Promise keeps me moving on this
Highway on the run
Hope that I can find myself a home
Just hit town my body’s tired
I need some love from anyone
I need a way to feel again
I’ve seen so many things
Different places changing faces
All ending up the same
Highway to the sun
Promise keeps me moving on this
Highway on the run
Hope that I can find myself a home
Up in Yellowknife I lost my self
That cold September
When the world came down
Grabbed my guitar and headed South
Dust blows off a rolling stone
Remember the good times we had
If I can laugh about it
I guess it ain’t that bad
Hello daddy I’m just passing through
Gotta keep moving on
Guess I’m a lot like you
Darcy Black
​
I won’t cry when you call me names
I got friends in the big city
Blue jean jacket with ripped off sleeves
Ain’t nobody here can hurt me
My old man he will come for me
He’s been working some really big jobs
There’s some places we’re going to see
Said he’ll take me out to the mountains
This stupid town you know it ain’t my home
Just a place for momma to get better
You’ll be staying here and I’ll be gone
My daddy’s coming in his new pick-up
I won’t cry today
I’ll be on my way
Things will be alright
I won’t have to fight
When my daddy comes
Smokers corner on the recess brake
I like hanging with them older boys
Final pick for the dodge-ball game
Not that fast but I can throw hard
Fester says that he can beat me down
So I meet him out on the playground
Twice my size you know he ain’t that smart
I hit him hard before he puts his hands up
I won’t cry today
I’ll be on my way
Things will be alright
I won’t have to fight
When my daddy comes
There ain’t nothing that can hold me down
I don’t care what the teachers say
Do my best to make my daddy proud
Show you all I’m not afraid
Mon Chéri
​
Hold on, breathe
Remember the way it
Used to feel
Stirrin' in my blood
The wind blows cold
And I know
I'm growing old
You and me
Mon Chéri
Don't stop fighting
Just keep on lighting up
Like you did for me
I believe your heart is true
It will pull you through
The darkest deepest seas
Mon Chéri
Darkest days
Can't live forever
When I know there’s some sunshine
Left in your eyes
Jealous eyes
I wanna do better I want to fly
I wanna go where the doves don't cry
Leave it all behind
Let the fear just die
Patiently
Mon Chéri
Don't stop fighting
Just keep on lighting up
Like you did for me
I believe
Your heart is true
It will pull you through
The darkest deepest seas
Don't stop fighting
You are light
Angel send
Someone to help my dear now
I’m alone
I need your wings to lift‘em out
I need an angel, please
Fly to me.. I believe
Take my life
Take everything
A soul so bright
I'll do anything
Special One
​
Lookin' for something
I knew you were trouble
But I still had to see for myself
Then watch you go
Now I know that
Beauty's skin deep
Oh show me somethin' beautiful
There's ugliness in me
​
Flickering spirit
Could you see it coming
These broken dreams
Seem so far gone
It hurts to think about
​
Dry your eyes
Wounds will heal
Look to the sky
You are loved
You are aspecial one, special
​
I could give you money
You could spend it
On useless shit that no one needs
Poisons everything
Where's the feeling
You selfie monster
While they're all sipping plastic love
I need something real
​
Dry your eyes
Wounds will heal
Look to the sky
You are loved
You are a Special One
​
Music is my medicine
Turn it up drink it in
Music is my medicine
I'm healing, healing
Music is my medicine
Turn it up drink it in
Music is my medicine
I feel it, feel it
​
Doesn't matter
how it all ends
oh I touched something beautiful
you are a special one
Reality
​
I’m the skid kid with the bottom lip
Jogging pants high
Rubber boots make me trip
Want your fashion queen ya best walk away
All the city kids seemed so cool
Girl a country boy ain’t no fool
I can catch your food light your fire
Evolve your mind take you higher
Reality is sweeter than dreams
We bleed that’s what makes it sweet
Yeah walk it to me walk it to me
Run it to me give it to me
Take it to me push it to me
Squeeze it in me leave it on me
Lay it on baby
I wanna feel your love
Don't pretend you cannot be
Flesh and blood
Wretched I can see
You love it all just like me
Reality is sweeter than dreams
We bleed that’s what makes it sweet
One two three we both can see
I know you an’ you know me
Let’s go dancing in the pale moonlight
One two three we both are free
I'll show you the best of me
Take it down by the firelight
Dirty Water
​
Restless weight on my mind
All these lies
Money bereft of me
Cancer and creed
How long must we cry
Cry, cry, cry, a river
I don't know
If I'll find my way home
Dirty water sinkin' me slow
Any deeper now I'm gone
Sickness lay me down
Toxins all around
Relentless suppression of truth
Deep state rule
How long must we cry
Cry, cry, cry, a river
I don't know
If I'll find my way home
Dirty water sinkin' me slow
Any deeper now I'm gone
I'm gone..
Freedom what's that mean to me
Can I live that way
In a world not that free
Freedom what about society
Ain't that the best for me
So I can eat and work and sleep
And eat and work and sleep
Old man river got the look in his eye
Shivers down the length
Of a bold mans spine
He'll take you to the filthy River-Jordan
And cleanse your soul
Old man river won't stand by
Gazing idly yonder as a blind man lies
Lyin' to the Mother Mary
Sucklin' er goddamn soul
Lyin' to the Mother Earth
Gave us a place called home
Feels So Good
​
Feels so good
When I am happy
See the sunshine in your eyes
Distant moon and changing seasons know
The rhythm of my life
​
Take the torch my young friend
You won't believe how bright it glows
Hurry now the flame burns swiftly
Oh that's the way it goes
​
Burn, burn, burn so bright, bright
I want to spread, spread, spread the light
​
To see you smile
Makes the darkness melt away
In the morning light
Our differences they fade
Feels so good
​
A million stars in your laugh
Broken hearts you must mend
As the wind she gets settled down
This shall come and go
​
Burn, burn, burn so bright, bright
I want to spread, spread, spread the light
​
To see you smile
Makes the darkness melt away
In the morning light
Our differences they fade
Feels so good
To see you smile
Makes the darkness melt away
And it don't take much
Just a warm embrace
Feels so goods
Fine Life
​
Baby oh hear my words
Feel the song rockin’ slow
Lately I felt the call
In us all freedom
​
And I know it ain’t right
Actin' like a cancer
And I know nothing goes as planned
But this time man I’ve seen the light
​
It’s a fine life
Walking tall
Laying it all
Out on the line
It’s a fine life
When the chips are down
Down on the ground
And I feel at home
​
I miss you momma
We had times
The hardest times
Weren’t that bad
Pappa did the best he could
Took nothin’ and squeezed it good
Showed a boy what love can do
Girl I’m still here with you
​
It’s a fine life
Walking tall
Laying it all
Out on the line
It’s a fine life
When the chips are down
Down on the ground
And I feel at home Home
Home, I am home
Time
​
Trying hard to remember
As the days go by
No one likes growing old
All these crazy things around me
As the world unfolds people dying
I ain't waiting on an answer
To turn the world around
When she's calling out my name
I ain't waiting on a angel
To come and save us all
I'll safe myself
Time lives in the valley
Where the sun don't shine
I've been there too long
Time restless and hungry
Gnawing on my bones
Wearing me down
Sometimes it really helps me
Rise above the past
When I mess things up real good
Other times when I am lonely
Or at my very worst
You just laugh
Time lives in the valley
Where the sun don't shine
I've been there too long
Time restless and hungry
Gnawing on my bones
Wearing me down
Watch the seasons
As they come and go
Summer short and winter long
In the moment
I can be at one and
Let time go on its own
Namaste
​
Downtown place I go
Little class called flow
I know the aim is stillness
But I'm losing control
I'm in love with the yoga instructor
Killing me with those moves
Namaste me long as you can
'Cause I know
After sixty I must go
Deep breathin' got me dizzy
I'm soaked right through
Ain't just me
Watchin’ her groove
All the girls too
I'm in love with the yoga instructor
Killing me with those moves
Namaste me long as you can
'CauseI know
After sixty I must go
I'm not on time
Every time
I hope you see
I'll be there
When you need
