Springtime

Gar fish rolling in the marsh
Why do you roll all day?
I roll with my girl, gonna fill this world
With little gar fish at play
Spring time, spring time
Sunny days and sweet sweet air
(Birds and bees and the buds in the trees)
(Thunderstorms and the winds are warm)
Spring time, spring time feelin
Oh to live like an animal is soo appealing.
Little grey squirrel in a tree
Why do you leap and chatter?
I'll chase my mate, and seal her fate
To spend her spring gettin fatter
Rooster crowing in the yard
Preen your comb and waddle
I look the part to win the hearts
All the little hens will follow.
Cricket singing in my room
Why do you sing and fiddle?
I play in the dark with loons and larks
Gonna get myself a little
(To fuck like an animal is so appealing).

Bad Decisions

Bad Decision
It feels like I'm about to make another bad decision
It won't be the first time, it won't be the worst time, it won't be the last
Maybe I should try to find a better way of living
But every time I try to change I can’t get out of my own way,
And I wind up in the same old way
loneliness and a little whiskey
taking trips down memory lane
making calls to my ex girlfriends
change my voice, change my name
too much time and too little action
too much money in my pants
too many beautiful distractions
shoot at my feet to watch me dance

When You Were Young
02:10
|

When you were young
Everything was so much fun
Now you're not young
And nothing's fun.
You used to like things
It was exciting
Making something out of nothing
When there was nothing else to do
You used to make things
Now you're just faking
What's the point, what's the meaning what's the use,

Gun Crazy (in the USA)
03:04
|

You don't like the president
Hey get yrself a gun
Landlord wants you to pay the rent
Everybody line up and get yourself a gun
Neighbors lawn is overgrown
Hey gt yrself a gun
Daughters always on the phone
Everybody line up and get yourself a gun
Maybe it's a Muslim on TV
Or the black kids a strolling down your street
If your looking for some good red blooded fun,
You don't need a reason, it's good for every season it's a gun!

Well baby, I know that ive been traveling out of town
And while I've been stepping out, youve been staying in
but darling now i'm home, and you don't seem so lonely
and i wonder if there's something you're not saying
His hammers in my junk drawer, since you let him in the back door, and now another man is stuffing his stuff where my stuff used to be
If you want me to, I'll be coming over
We can play house and we can pretend
Be baby don't be mad when I get up early
Leaving is how I make a living, and this highway never ends.

Bad Luck
03:04
|

you aint got nothing but bad luck
thats all you got
that’s not just a lot
you aint got nuthin but hard times
from when you were born
honey from now on
when you were a baby
lying in your bed
the chandelier fell off the wall
and stove your tiny head
you aint got nothin but bad luck
bad luck, honey thats all you got
when you went to school
just to learn to read and write
you stared into a laser
and lost your sense of sight
when you went to work
out on the factory floor
your hand caught in a spindle
now you can’t wave no more

Briney Foam
03:55
|

One of these days you're gonna go to sleep
And you're not gonna wake up again.
You'll open your eyes, but to your surprise
You'll be free as a bird floating high overhead
All of your friends will weep and moan about where you've gone
Pretty Soon they’ll be talking like you never were born.
And though your nails and teeth grow when your down below
And you can't take nothing with you where you go.
And oh, whatcha gonna do now (you're all alone you're really all alone)?
And oh, whatcha gonna do now (that you're dead and gone)?
When you're a wash in the briny foam
There's no wind that's gonna carry you home.
And oh, you can never go home
One of these days your gonna write your name
It ain't gonna be your name no more
All of the people you knew, all of your secrets and games
They'll be stolen away into some strangers dresser drawer
All of the stain glass memories of yesteryear
All of your foibles and all of your fears
All that you hold dear into thin air
And your left without a feather of a care
one of these days you're gonna walk out side
but the outside world has gone away
when you look up there's a hole in the sky
all the true believers praying like it's the judgement day
but the ancient reptiles knew it was true
the universe don't care about me or you
when the world comes crashing in there's nothing you can do
but you never really mattered anyway.

Stupid Mountain Too Big
01:49
|

Wake up with the cows, looking out over the fields
wind is blowing, roosters crowing, sun is glowing on the farm
step out on the porch, breath that clean virginia air,
if i had a different life, i believe i'd give up my left arm
goddamnit i can't stand this country living
these stupid mountains are too big, these paychecks are too small
i'd like to do more taking and less giving
i'm headed for the land of cul de sacs and mini malls.

Congratulations
Here's a brand new body
From yr daddy and yr mommy
And yr family line
Congratulations
Here's a brand new burden
You'll be howling and hurting
Til the day that you die
And it's a short time here
And a long time gone
and we all stand in the same old place
and we all sing the same old song
And it's a short time here
And a long time gone
Welcome home, welcome home
Congratulations
Every hour you're getting larger
And your thoughts are going farther
Every brand new day
Congratulations
You're a bona fide human
Spend your hours consuming
Everything in your way
Congratulations
You got yourself a family
A little house in the country
And a brand new car
And the futures looking brighter
And your nights are getting lighter
All your best years are behind you
Time to say goodbye
