Song Lyrics

Although this blog is primarily for sharing stories, I will always be writing songs. Some of these in here are fairly new (and I’ll also post any brand-new songs as I write them) but most are old songs never before produced or recorded… yet.

11/24/17: Big City Dog Blues

  I’m a big city dog Tied up all the time Yea, I’m a big city dog Tied up all the time You best enjoy your good life I sure ain’t enjoying mine Every single day I lie here in the sun If I ever get away Man how I would run Yea I’m a [...]

11/19/17: W-W-W-W-W-H

  Who the hell am I To tell you, to tell you What I will do It’s on me, it’s on me There’s a dark cloud on the horizon Headed for the shore With a black shroud over your eyes one might be bedded under the floor Bedded under the floor Where the hell are [...]

11/12/17: Flatland Shuffle

  Way back before this modern age The ascending path was all the rage The only way to sal-va-tion Was to flee the many and find the one But since that was the only thing they ever did They never even saw the descending grid Those descenders found their dignity By embracing this world’s diversity [...]

11/6/17: I Don’t Run Anymore

  I don’t run anymore I don’t run anymore Going someplace, don’t know where No big hurry to get there So I don’t run anymore Used to run from place to place Never slowed my break-neck pace Time was money, going for gold Milk and honey, bought and sold Kept up with the latest stats [...]

11/3/17: The Wake of Politics

  In the wake of politics Moving only left or right Pulled along by something You can never steer or fight You can stand there in the middle Or have fun jumping waves Or let go of the tow rope And be nobody’s slave And then you surf Or sail Or row Or bail Or… [...]

11/1/17: Contemplation

  I went down to the riverbank at night and looked around The lights that danced on the water could've come from any town I could hear all my hopes and fears for the times I've yet to know I could see that it’s all up to me whether they can stay or go Sometimes [...]

10/30/17: Adolescent Justice (part two)

  Reggie had a way of getting under your skin Pissing people off, was what he did for fun And I used to love to watch him as he’d run away From the older boys in scout troop ninety one We all knew that he deserved every beating that he got Everyone participated in his [...]

10/16/17: Post-modern Blues

  Woke up this mornin' Wondering what I should do Found out last night I need a whole different kinda world-view Thought that I was enlightened Thought my maps were just fine But now I see they're just remnants of some old Transcended paradigm I got them, postmodern blues Yeaaah I feel like tomorrow's food [...]

10/12/17: In a Corner

  In a corner By a broken window He looks at what he’s done and he cries to the world He cries And clutches his stomach And then he looks at me with the world in his eyes A world of pain And medication Where no one hopes for more than for each day to [...]
