It Never Gets Me Down

November 26, 2013

barloser

I hit the bars in Tucson
I had a wicked thirst
I hoped to find a honey
And open up her purse
I ain’t much to look at
But a lady could do worse
So I polished up my silver tongue
With a couple shots
I scoped me out some honeys
The kind that look real hot
I headed for some tables
And gave it all I got

With diligence my shield
I trek from town to town
I don’t always prosper
But it never gets me down

The gals in this establishment
We’re actin pretty rough
I kept hurlin pickups
But it wasn’t my best stuff
It was time to ice my ego
Cuz I done had enough
Then I spied a vision
Of silky curvy lace
I asked if she’d like to
Take me to her place
She hoisted up her beverage
And threw it in my face

With diligence my shield
I trek from town to town
I don’t always prosper
But it never gets me down

Tucson gals are ornery
Especially in June
Or maybe I was harvesting
The cycles of the moon
I might venture back this way
But it won’t be soon
Those gals weren’t very friendly
But it don’t bother me
Now I’m gonna hit the road
And see what I can see
Perhaps it’s time to check out
The beauties in Tempe

With diligence my shield
I trek from town to town
I don’t always prosper
But it never gets me down

Baggage

November 22, 2013

6860053-HSC00001-7

You can act all proper
You can try and hold it in
Stick your finger in the floodgates
But you’re never gonna win

when your baggage
weighs a ton
you can hide
but you can’t run
from the dude in the mirror
and all the things you done

You act like someone else
And pretend it’s all a show
But the pain in your marrow
Is only gonna grow

when your baggage
weighs a ton
you can hide
but you can’t run
from the dude in the mirror
and all the things you done

Time marches on
That river’s gonna flow
And you’re stuck in yourself
Everywhere you go

when your baggage
weighs a ton
you can hide
but you can’t run
from the dude in the mirror
and all the things you done

A Waste of Time

November 11, 2013

donthate


hating is a waste of time
it wracks my soul
and wrecks my rhyme

if a whirlwind came along
and punished all
who done me wrong

that wouldn’t fix a doggone thing
and how much comfort
would it bring?

spreading pain and misery
won’t help my woes
or set me free

i’ll try to do what Jesus said
and love the folks
who wish me dead

Taking in and Letting out

November 6, 2013

breathe

Clinging to the past
Will mess you up real fast
And if you don’t explode
It’ll make your guts corrode

taking in and letting out
is what it’s all about
won’t be no peace in your soul
till you learn to let it go

The land of used-to-be
Ain’t no place for me
Won’t be living no sad song
Cuz life just ain’t that long

taking in and letting out
is what it’s all about
won’t find no peace in your soul
till you learn to let it go

Prize what’s good and true
In the time that life gives you
Keep on tending to today
And let the sadness wash away

taking in and letting out
is what it’s all about
won’t find no peace in your soul
till you learn to let it go

Watch Your Step

November 1, 2013

cliffall

Eat your greens, watch your step
And lend a helping hand
And stay away from people
Whose hearts are full of sand

on days when you
can barely cope
they trample on your
tender hope
they offer you a
slender rope
and kick you down
a slippery slope

Eat your greens, watch your step
And lend a helping hand
And stay away from people
Whose hearts are full of sand

The First Stone

October 25, 2013

first stone

Look at that girl
Struttin down the line
Like she owns the whole world
Thinkin she’s so fine

She’s just living her life
Ain’t hurtin nobody else
Time to focus your mind
On just being yourself

Look at that couple
What a filthy disgrace
One’s the wrong age
And one’s the wrong race

You might wanna pause
Before you stop and stare
They’re only in your head
Cuz you want ‘em there

Look at that freak
He needs to cut his hair
He looks like Jesus
But he smells like a bear

When you look in a mirror
Who’s lookin back?
Were you put on this planet
To judge and attack?

MYOB

October 18, 2013

MYOB

If you got a problem
With the girl I’m dating
Keep your piehole closed
And stop all your hating

I heard enough
Ain’t gonna hear no more
You better go home
And shut the front door

So quick to judge
So quick to condemn
Spend your whole life saying
How you’re better than them

I heard enough
Ain’t gonna hear no more
You better go home
And shut the front door

I made it this far
Without listening to you
Please take this dollar
And go buy a clue

I heard enough
Ain’t gonna hear no more
You better go home
And shut the front door

When Yer Gone

September 19, 2013

dirty kichen

This place gets awful messy
   when yer gone
Things ain’t in the places
   they belong
The boys and me been stayin
   up till dawn
And three of them are sleeping
   on the lawn

if you gonna go
baby, let me know
i’ll hire me a crew
to do the things you do
several will get paid
a cop, a chef, a maid
a seamstress and a shrink
someone to hall away my stink

Things get mighty lonesome
   when you go
Days are long and nighttime
   lost its glow
The boys and me been raisin
   Cain too long
Won’t you please come back
   where you belong?

if you gonna go
baby, let me know
i’ll hire me a crew
to do the things you do
several will get paid
a cop, a chef, a maid
a seamstress and a shrink
someone to hall away my stink

Monsters to Feed

September 2, 2013

fire pit

Can’t quench my hunger
Can’t comfort my greed
Born with this burning
Got monsters to feed

I signed on the line
With blood from my vein
All I got left is
A wicked stain

I did what I did
I am where I am
Discarded, forgotten
Forsaken and damned

Hope you get used to
The sulfur you smell
Give my regards to
My buddies in hell

Rigged

July 25, 2013

aaaaaaaariged

The thieves in charge
Just dangle some cash
And dirty politicians
Kiss a whole lotta ass

The game is rigged
In the USA
The American Dream’s
Been dealt away

Crooks and traitors
Keep getting paid
Send jobs overseas
And call it free trade

The game is rigged
In the USA
The American Dream’s
Been dealt away

Ain’t got no money
To fix our schools
We’re going down hard
Like a punch-drunk fool

The game is rigged
In the USA
The American Dream’s
Been dealt away
