he sat his horse (full album) YouTube music video-with lyrics

he sat his horse

He sat his horse

And looked into the tree line

Started up that mountain

One more time

 

He thought of her in the falling snow

The one true love he’d ever known

 

He was at peace

Up in the mountains

Man gets some grace

And then learns some things

 

He thought of her in the falling snow

The one true love he’d ever known

 

The wind picked up and moved the pines

That smell brought that cowboy back

To a better times

 

He thought of her in the falling snow

The one true love he’d ever known

 

He looked to the sun

It burned a brilliant grey

Storm had been a surprise

And so was his last day

 

Snow dampens all noise

 

He sat his horse

Go Climbing

There’s no one that pulls for me like you do

And you stand there beside me

You don’t ride me to come through

 

When mountains don’t come to us

You encourage me

To go climbing

 

When evening falls softly and the sunset is in your eyes

And you color me, comfort me, nurture me beyond advice

And the mountains don’t come to us

You encourage me

To go climbing

When that mountain don’t come to us you encourage me

To go climbing

(The) Business of Angels

Becky are you down in Haiti again

Helping the poor from the earthquake mend

Going about the business of being an angel

 

Is my boy down there with you

Doing’ whatever he can do

Going about the business of being an angel

 

Right now nobody know how many souls have rose

From the dust and the rubble and are headed home

Oh fly, oh fly, fly away

To a much better place to stay

Pray you don’t travel alone

I pray there’s angels going about the business of being angels

I pray there’s angels going about the business of being angels

 

Babies are cryin’ in the street

You’ll give something to eat and drink

Going about the business of being angels

 

Right now nobody know how many souls have rose

From the dust and the rubble and are headed home

Oh fly, oh fly, fly away

To a much better place to stay

I pray you don’t travel alone

I pray there’s angels going about the business of being angels

I pray there’s angels going about the business of being angels

Crazy Mountain

When nobody’s coming home to you

You get the crazy mountain blues

You come down from crazy mountain

About as fast as you can go

Slipping and sliding on that crazy mountain snow

 

Well Daddy came home and he ain’t right

Barking like a bear in the middle of the night

He saw the man at the mill

And cheatin’ him out of petty mountain pay

It would be even Steven he says

Crazy mountain way

 

Oh crazy mountain

Oh crazy mountain

On that low down mountain

 

But you know when you come off crazy mountain you should run

When you see that man come down off crazy mountain maybe you should run

 

Crazy mountain

Crazy mountain

Crazy mountain

Crazy mountain

Crazy mountain

Heard Laughing

I was thinking of you when I fell asleep

I heard you talkin’ all night

And tomorrow is another work day

I was thinking that I’d cuss the first light

 

I woke up and heard you laughing

The sunlight was in my bed

I woke up and heard you laughing

But it was only in my head

 

Finches on the deck sang in yellow

That’s such a morning happy sound

For a moment it felt like your laughter

And it seemed like you were around

 

I woke up and heard you laughing

The sunlight was in my bed

I woke up and heard you laughing

But it was only in my head

No Moon

I don’t need the moon tonight

Cause everything’s going to be alright

Got my girl good and sweet

I can feel her soft heart beat

 

Warm and lazy

Sweet and easy

We’re going to love all through the night

 

Colors dancing in my heart

Sun is down but it ain’t dark

I don’t need the moon tonight

Cause everthing’s going to be alright

Hateful

Lord I’m hateful

Nothing better get in my way

I’ve been makin’ moonshine

For the better part of the day

 

Lord I’ve got my shotgun

I'm walkin’ my piece of land

 

Lord I’m hateful

Me and the devil understand

There’s dark shadows

Seeping down through the pine trees

Lord a hateful man will do as he pleases

Even Mother Nature can’t brighten my scowl

Hateful, like an old hoot owl

 

When I see you comin’ I’ll hide behind a bush

You better pick your way ‘cause I ain’t in no rush

You sure you need to see me cause I’m havin’ a bad day

And Lord I’m hateful

Best stay outta my way

 

I’m hateful

Lord I'm hateful

Chasing a Moth

You chase a moth through the darkness

Moon colored wings they lead you on

Tickle on closed eyes like a baby kiss

Came right out of a dream of Oregon

Came right out of a dream of Oregon

 

Your humble message wakes a light sleeping woman

She knows your fever it comes and it goes

Cool wet cloths

Water with lemon

She’s heard the poems that you never composed

She’s heard those poems that you never composed

 

Soft illusions she sleeps away

Your judge and jury and your witness

She cries to her mom she smiles on yesterday

Chasing moth through the darkness

She chased a moth through the darkness

She chased a moth through the darkness

Broken Cowboy

Blue sky turned dark

Sun going down

There’s another broken cowboy

Walkin’ through your town

 

Bent and dirty straw hat

Red bandana around his neck

Dusty and headed home

With a small paycheck

 

Married to your sister

Cousin or your aunt

Could have left when he was young

But now he can’t

 

Blue sky turned dark

Sun going down

There’s another broken cowboy

Walkin’ through your town

 

Big town rodeo dreamer

Turned into a good dad

20 years of laying carpet

His knees have gone bad

 

He kinda looks like a desperado

The kind that don’t speak

He’s been humming softly

Through a long work week

 

Blue sky turned dark

Sun going down

There’s another broken cowboy

Walkin’ through this town

Improve the Mood

There’s a sparkle on the water

And it seems to be winking at me

You know I’m a believer

Of things we can’t see

 

And tonight I’m getting silly

I love the smell on your skin

So dance with me down by the water

And improve the mood that I’m in

 

Felling kind of tropical

There’s sand between my toes

I’d like to ride this river south

About as far as she goes

 

And tonight I’m getting silly

I love the smell on your skin

So dance with me down by the water

And improve the mood that I’m in

 

And tonight I’m getting silly

I love the smell on your skin

So dance with me down by the water

And improve the mood that I’m in

 

Somebody answer that damned phone

I’m relaxin’

Tryin’ to

Class is Over

Wish somehow I could take it back

Those wasted years I ran off the track

Falling for temptations

I couldn’t leave behind

Shadows that whispered

That crowd your mind

Now I’m thinking clear and movin’ slow

There’s a broken part of me that wants you to know

 

You were the only one that could ever fix me

You were the only one that could ever reach me

You were the only one that could ever teach me

And now class is over

 

Felt your prayers when I was in the dark

Heard you cheering me to hit it out of the park

I was workin’ like a fool you coached me to act smart

When I was over thinking things you said go with your heart

Your smilin’ eyes are in my sleep

One true treasure I wanted to keep

 

You were the only one that could ever fix me

You were the only one that could ever reach me

You were the only one that could ever teach me

And now class is over

Stranded Robin

Spring snowstorm caught all the sun

From Detroit Lakes to Chamberlain

Baby wasn’t at home to feed the stranded robins

Their orange bellies on the tree branch against the white snow load

 

They said hey where’s your missus

I bet tonight you miss her kisses

 

Baby wasn’t at home to feed the stranded robins

Their orange bellies on the tree branch against the white snow load

 

Said the worms are covered in snow

Where did that birdfeeder lady go

 

Baby wasn’t at home to feed the stranded robins

Their orange bellies on the tree branch against the snow load

The Soft Side

The soft side has your colors

The soft side has your orange in the sunset

And the sun beams through the clouds

Shinin’ down on all that’s loud

Rings silent in your heart

 

The soft side don’t mind the rain

The soft side wraps its arms around the pain

Pat your back so lightly

Whispers ever so slightly

That the song comes to your ear

Puts you to sleep

 

The soft side on the soft side

The soft side

My Old Country Songs

Well I’ll be back on my feet

Shuffling down the street

Singing my old country songs

I’m simple as rain

And I take my pains

And put on my old country songs

 

My Dad liked butch wax

He combed his hair back

Sometimes it was long

Sometimes it was flat

 

Didn’t like chickens

Called them rats with wings

I laughed at him now

The tears that it brings

 

Well I’ll be back on my feet

Shuffling down the street

Singing my old country songs

I’m simple as rain

And I take my pains

And put on my old country songs

 

Well the angels they sing

And it comes on the wind

Like the leaves in the fall

All colors of friends

And the circle of songs

That roll in my mind

Talk to my memory

Don’t leave me behind

 

Well I’ll be back on my feet

Shuffling down the street

Singing my old country songs

I’m simple as rain

And I take my pains

And put on my old country songs
