Labor Jig (The Way It Always Goes)
Pain was in my heart Thought it was my head I’m smiling but I’m hurt I know that I ain’t dead I heard her naked laugh But my brain was working slow She slid inside a silky shirt That’s the way it always goes
Fingernails peeled an orange Like she stripped away my soul A man ain’t got no hope when he loses self control My eyes were in her cleavage But my brain was working slow Heat burned away my sorrows That’s the way it always goes My eyes were in her cleavage But my brain was working slow Heat burned away my sorrows That’s the way it always goes
I was dancing like Travolta I’m fat but I can move A promise in her eyes Put me in her groove That woman tore me down My brain was working slow The Sweet Lord sends forgiveness That’s the way it always goes
That woman tore me down She powdered up my nose The Sweet Lord sent forgiveness That’s the way it always goes That woman tore me down She got me out of my clothes The Sweet Lord sends forgiveness That’s the way it always goes The Sweet Lord sends forgiveness That’s the way it always goes

There’s nothing really wrong Wish I could turn around and play some songs But the money stayed away And got no time to play today
But tomorrow I’ll fly like a blue jay in the summer rain Tomorrow we’ll laugh and play music, just two old friends Tomorrow we’ll spend time like it will never end Tomorrow Tomorrow
Hey what’s the fuss We both missed the bus to the clouds There’s a rainbow in the sky Please don’t you cry ,neither will I
But tomorrow I’ll fly like a blue jay in the summer rain Tomorrow we’ll laugh and play music, just two old friends Tomorrow we’ll spend time like it will never end Tomorrow Tomorrow But tomorrow I’ll fly like a blue jay in the summer rain

In This World (Bush) I’m pondering on the source of all the anger in this world Right now I just don’t have a clue There gun runners selling war in the midst of this world It’s crazy what greed makes people do
Tell me Mr. President do you figure you’ll always be in this world You talk like God gave you a big war plan Misdirection and deception are your footprints in this world It’s crazy what fear can do to a man
Stockpiles of wealth and privilege lead to killing in this world You’ve got to protect the treasures of your land Sharing, Loving and Giving are blessing in this world We’re all connected why can’t we understand
Pondering on the source of all the anger in this world

Easter Morning Grandma sitting at sunrise Waiting on the sun Songbirds sing her a lullaby Easter has come
Cold sad winter is in retreat Ice still covers Lake Madison But church bells are happier this morning Cause Easter Morning has come Easter Morning has come
Well Grandma looks pretty in a flower dress Plays her Irish Accordion Saint Patrick’s was in Holy Week this year Now Easter Morning has come Easter Morning has come
Grandma smiles young at breakfast Rowdy and noisy grandchildren Song birds are singing brightly Easter Morning has come Easter Morning has come

Go Easy and Run Leaping from a train On the sunny shore Don’t you worry about your troubles no more Find a little sand a little sun Go easy and run
Waking from a dream My you’re running fast Can’t hardly see the shadows you cast Find a little sand a little sun Go easy and run
Waking from a dream People off a bus Honey they don’t really think like us Let’s find a little sand a little sun Go easy and run |

Leap Day Did you reach out for the light I think you might have tried Were love ones in sight I think you might have cried
Did that sleepy meadow change Did the flowers all bloom Were you grabbing your guitar As you left the room
Did the math between the stars All make perfect sense As Einstein dreamed
Did you reach out for the light I think you might have tried Were your love ones in sight I think you might have cried Did you reach out for the light I think you might have tried Were your love ones in sight I think you might have cried |

Not A Man You can see a tree for what it is Wind may have ravaged it’s limbs You can see a tree for what it is But it’s not a man
You can hear the sea in a sea shell Secrets it whispers may be true You can hear the sea in a sea shell But it’s not a man Oh no it’s not a man A man is of those things And if you listen close to that sea shell You may hear the songs of a distant land Sung by a small child But that echo’s not a man
Yes you can see a tree for what it is And time may have taken all its leaves Yes you can see a tree for what it is But it’s not a man No it’s not a man A man is of those things If you listen close to that tree You may hear the songs of a distant land Sung by a small child But that echo of that child is not a man |

When he took to leaving He was awful tired of grieving Wanted to be out on his own
Blue uniform collar He’d sell anything for dollars He was smooth and hard as a stone
And now I know the reason He was in his winter season He was waiting for his shoots to crack the ground He found his occupation In the great lawless nation When he saw his horse go down Saw his horse going down Saw that horse going down
When he took to killing He was awful tired of spilling His own blood just to see the color red He left his homeland Became enough to make a stand Now he’s overseas and the yankee’s dead That’s how it gets out of the country sometimes Yankee
And now I know the reason He was in his winter season He was waiting for his shoots to crack the ground He found his occupation In the great lawless nation When he saw his horse go down Saw his horse going down Saw that horse going down
Lifted him off the ground Lifted him off the ground |

Ides of March She’s limpin’ some but her stride is sharp Sundogs in the sky on the Ides of March Rainbow rising in an angel’s heart Gilded wounds on the Ides of March
She believes in angels She believes in angels
Well she’s in the mirror and it’s looking back She’s a flower in the shades of black She rides a rainbow she follows the arch Her years behold the Ides of March
She believes in angels She believes in angels

Burned Gasoline Some secrets they just ain’t true It’s the finger pointing back at you Worm is in the apple core Blue collar worker is the rich man’s whore
And I’m locked into the mortal truth All these lies just drain the youth Show them games and make them play Give lip service about judgment day
Give ample drink to drown the fools Tell ‘em war ain’t got no rules W, he’s scaring all of us Fly your flag and get on the bus
Well how many soldiers die in vain And callin’ out their momma’s name Tell me has the American Dream All burned away in gasoline |

John F Across the universe inside a dream I was ridin’ on a light beam With a man I’d met from the past Who was introducing himself To the future
The spirits are returning from their sleep Still having earthly promises to keep I said John F you’re drivin’ fast back From the future |

Born Kings They were born to be kings But they die as a poor boy sings But that’s another song Another song
Guns kill a child Why ain’t the world wise That’s another song That’s another song |

Make Her Come Back Make her come back Lord make her stay Don’t let the cold wild wind blow her away
Make her come back Lord make her stay Don’t let the cold wild wind blow her away
Under dark black clouds Babies cry You and I under endless skies Mother angel called you home She’s tired of being left alone
Make her come back Lord make her stay Don’t let the cold wild wind blow her away
Oh make her come back Lord make her stay Don’t let the cold wild wind blow her away |

Buy This Country If I had the money to buy this country I’d move down to Mexico If I had the money to buy this country I’d move down to Mexico
They arrested my brother They never liked us in Denver Did we even get a bails bondsman I can’t even remember
Hey meet me at the border I’m the Fourth of July I can’t even speak their words They make me cry
If I had the money to buy this country I’d move down to Mexico If I had the money to buy this country I’d move down to Mexico
Here’s some money from my piggy bank At the slaughter house Well Lord I’m layin’ low Silent as a mouse
Hey meet me at the border I’m the Fourth of July Don’t ask me about old Juan That will make me cry
If I had the money to buy this country I’d move down to Mexico If I had the money to buy this country I’d move down to Mexico |

Today Well today Today Well I’m walkin’ down the street Moanin’ out a wish Like I could see the future from down here The blackbirds surround me in their empty high branches Like they know my sentence and they’re watching me walk to the chair
Well today Today I started to pick up my wasted yesterday chances There’s nothing you can get your heart wrapped around like broken down busted blues
Well today Today I’m gonna see if I can forget the criticism that I level at myself And remember the beautiful touches from the past feminine fingers
Hell I’m walkin’ fast thinkin’ I was once fleet of foot I stop and eat a green apple As tart as childhood
Well today Today On my return I stand mirrored in the patio door There’s grey in my beard Our fat long-haired cat stares at me We both put up with each other and try to stay out of each other’s way The nice lady of the house pets us both some days |
