Mother’s Rosary
When I think of real prayer
The vision that I see
Is my mother’s hands
Working through a rosary
When I was a third grade boy
Mother made me a fur coat
I wanted to be like all the other kids
I guess like all them other boys and girls
The old nun at school said my mom had worked magic
Real magic
Love and magic
Oh that’s what the old nun said
So when I think of real prayer
The vision I see
Is my mother’s hands
Working through a rosary
When I think of real prayer
The only vision that I see
Is my mother’s hands
Working through a rosary |

Ain’t Scared of Flying
I woke up with an angel above my king bed
She laid right down beside me and this is what she
said
Your father is callin’ . . . he’s seen you cryin’
I said, one thing’s certain sister
I ain’t scared of flyin’
I hung out with the buzzards long before you came
With a woman so beautiful
I cry upon her name She helped me in soft pieces
There was no lying
One thing’s certain sister
I ain’t scared of flying
There’s take-offs in small planes
With ice upon their wings
We’ve all been in that seat
As the bluesman sings I held a woman so beautiful
Could not imagine her dying
One thing’s certain sister
I ain’t scared of flying
Little bird your wings set you free
Thank you for looking in on me
Don’t worry about the crying
I ain’t scared of flying
Don’t worry about the crying
I ain’t scared of flying |

Dog Eat Dog
It’s all you can do
Just getting on
When you find bloody footprints
In the snow at dawn
There’s no mistaking You’re taken for a bump on a log
When the cat’s got your tongue
And it’s dog-eat-dog
Roses are dead now
And hanging on the wall
And the words are all different now
Since you took that fall
There’s no mistaking
You’ve taken a long hard look at God
But the cat’s got your tongue
It’s dog-eat-dog
There’s no mistaking
Words are taken as cliché
Dog-eat-dog is the cat’s meow today |

Fallen Apostles
Too much whiskey smoking and a talkin’
Too much staring at them pretty women walkin’
My fall was fast but my risings been slow
Where do fallen apostles go?
I want a witness but I look so weak
Laid up in jail
And no one hears you speak
Peter was your rock
But I’ve been on a roll Where do fallen apostles go?
Jesus make me a fisher of men
Tell this north wind where to blow
Show me where you need me to be
Where you need me to be
Where do fallen apostles go?
Peter was your rock
But I’ve been on a roll
Where do fallen apostles go?
Where do fallen apostles go? |

Tired of Blue & Gray
Well I want to change the color of my days
Getting tired of all these blues and grays
I’m confused bogged down in the blues
Wanna change the color of my days
Getting tired of all these blue and grays
Hell lately I just make my lady cry
She knows I’m sliding by
It’s dark tonight
I can’t read by candlelight
Lately I just make my lady cry
She knows I’m sliding by
See I’m confused
Bogged down in the blues
Wanna change the color of my days
Tired of all these blues and grays
These blues and grays
All these blues and grays |

Coming Anyway
My brother is a soldier, he shoots a
nailgun
He builds houses for generals
Who lay around in the sun
My sister is a waitress
For white collar kings
They stare at her tattoos, body piercings and
rings
And just because she’s flat broke
They think she has nothing to say
They don’t know where she’s coming from
But she’s coming anyway
My uncle drives a semi rig
A million miles a year
Him and my aunt they drop me off
A couple blocks from here
They have to run night and day
With very little sleep
The banker man will take that truck
The payments are so steep
And just because he’s flat broke
They think he has nothing to say
They don’t know where he’s coming from
But he’s coming anyway
I played downtown to the black and blue
And them that live on the streets
Lord knows that they don’t tip so well
But they clap and stomp their feet
So I took my music up the hill
To see if they’d open the gate
A man with a billion dollar smile
Said this is what radio hates
Said this is what radio hates
Just because I’m flat broke
They think I have nothing to say
They don’t know where I’m coming from
But I’m coming anyway
They don’t know where I’m coming from
But I’m coming anyway |

Little Bit of Luck
With a little bit of good luck my life would be
changing
With a little bit of good luck I’d be right at the
top
With a little bit of good luck I’d be rearranging With a little bit of good luck my bad luck would stop
Never ever felt so used up
Then again I’ve never known the bright lights
And the city sites have truly opened my eyes
And made this country boy sharpen up his lies
With a little bit of good luck my life would be
changing
With a little bit of good luck I’d be right at the
top
With a little bit of good luck I’d be rearranging With a little bit of good luck my bad luck would stop
Try not to cry about yesterday
That’s a crop that never saw the summer rain
But what’s to gain by never planting new
That’s something my old dad would never ever do
With a little bit of good luck my life would be
changing
With a little bit of good luck I’d be right at the
top
With a little bit of good luck I’d be rearranging With a little bit of good luck my bad luck would stop With a little good luck my bad luck would stop With a little bit of good luck my bad luck would stop |

Moonlit Prism
I only see you sometimes
Like moonlight shining through a prism
I only see you sometimes
So woman you’re moonlight through a prism
Softly, slowly slide into midnight
That blue is a color that you own
Softly, slowly into moonlight
Where all night colors become your own
I only see you sometimes
Like moonlight shining through a prism
I only see you sometimes So woman you’re moonlight through a prism |

Woman’s Intuition
She’s a well-preserved woman
Who’s fighting off getting old
She likes pretty snowstorms
She don’t like the cold
She believes in woman’s intuition
Men’s tendency for lies
So I better be telling her the truth
When I look in her eyes
She’s a well-meaning woman
Who don’t like talking mean
She talks good of other people
Or she don’t say a thing
She believes in that woman’s intuition
And men’s tendency for lies
So I better be telling her the truth
When I look in her eyes
Well I better be telling her the truth
When I look in her eyes |

Born Yesterday
I was born yesterday
And I’m dying tomorrow
Today I’m going to live with myself and for myself
Well the actresses are waitresses
And the songwriters are bartenders
And the painters are driving taxicabs
With spray cans in their hands
Hey friend do you believe if I move back to the
farm
I could retrieve some country charm
I’ve been homeless when I didn’t go home
Still had money in my pockets
When I had too much grey in my blue eyes
To be crying in the rain
In a movie saw my reflection
But I swear I wasn’t there
Well any girls I kiss anymore
Live in a house on memory lane
Hey friend do you believe if I move back to the
farm
I could retrieve my country charm
Well I was born yesterday
And I’m dying tomorrow But today I’m going to live with myself and for myself |

Dark Side of the Hill
Today I feel you
Clouds and time are still
Down in the pasture
By the windmill
On the dark side of the hill
Today I hear your voice
Like an echo from a bell
Frost is falling from the trees
Like tears of God’s will
On the dark side of the hill
Today I need your sunshine
To take away this chill
On the dark side of the hill
On the dark side of the hill
On the dark side of the hill |
