My Blank Page
04:35
|

(Chorus)
My blank page
Wonderin' bout my blank page
Gotta write away, right away
All on my blank page
I gotta try to get down into words
Words on my blank page
I'm just lookin'
Looking for something to say
I'm just thinkin'
What looks good on my blank page?
Summers been sunny
And I can't look away
Summer would look good
All on my blank page
A telephone rings
A songbird sings
All for my blank page
Sitting, just keepin,
Eyes on my blank page
Trees fallen
All for my blank page
You've sure got a lot on your mind

Over Caffeinated
03:38

Woke up hanging on a birdie's cry
The sun was making art up in the mountain sky
Not even the worms in the ground are low
My mans right on time waiting for me to show
Said I'll take two for now and one for the road
I got a belly full of coffee and no place to go
Mind is racing from my head on down
Shaking every limb all through this town
Hey postman I got a letter to send
So that my friends will know the shape I'm in
To where do I send? I said 'don'tcha know'?
I got a belly full of coffee and no place to go
My belly storming like a raging sea
And nothing on it but my breakfast dreams
I went by my spot but no place to sit
My stomach growled but my legs couldn't quit
I'll take something with bread and a black cup of joe
I got a belly full of coffee and no place to go
Where next can I go for a fix?
My toes are scrambling and my head it clicks
Somewhere, somehow I know there's a place
There's not a turn that I won't face
No doubt It's the round about way of getting where I need to go
I got a belly full of coffee and no place to go
Feel like running for the rest of my life
Somebody done cut the string on my kite
This chickens got his head cut right off
The worlds on fire and I'm just a freezing moth
The paper says 'Sammie what do you know?!'
I got a belly full of coffee and no place to go

Why Do I Still Love You?
02:10
|
|||
Why do the birds get to fly away?
Why does the sun shine for just a day,
But the sun wont set on this?
Why do I still love you?
Why do the leaves get to change, and
I just can't seem to turn the page?
My heart just stays the same
Why do I still love you?
Well, even if I walked miles in every direction
Drown straight to the bottom of every bottle
Even if I learned to love another
Some lessons never seem to fade
And now I know that anything can be changing
And now I know that running wont be helping
So I can ask only one question
Why do I still love you?

Blue Mountain Blues
03:11
|
|||
The mountains are blue and so am I
There's nothing to do but sit on this barstool and cry
The mountains are blue and so am I
The river runs down the mountain side
Like a tear drop falling from the sky
The water is blue and so am I
Dark is the night and bright are the stars
But I soak in the shade inside this bar
The bands cryin' the blues and so am I
Maybe she's blue just like me
Sittin' and drinkin', thinkin' on how it used to be

As I was watching you leaving I was thinking your hands,
The cold leather steering wheel
Thinking bout the hands you'd be holding instead
As I was watching you leaving I still your lips on mine,
Your eyes on my face
Goodbye still ringing through the halls in my head
"Hold on"
You told me to hold on
"I'll be coming home"
But goodbye sure sounded like so long
As I was watching you leaving I kept my finger on the door
I could feel the pain watching me
Waiting for the moment that I felt like dying
As I was watching you leaving I had you footprints on my mind,
Was the trail like I feared it'd be?
Would the wolves and the dogs hear my crying?
(Chorus)
As I woke the next morning the sun still rose and shined there was still sleep in my eyes
But I was still missing my friend

The air is still tonight sitting 'neath the moon
Time's crawling by as the midnight roses bloom
Blooming for you
Shooting for you
Falling for a star stuck up in the sky
I see it falling from the corner of my mind
Shooting for you
Trucks are rolling in, morning was bound to start
So I climb back through my window and out of your heart
Shooting for you

I don't wanna go downstairs
Don't wanna go down there
I don't wanna go downstairs
Not if she's not there
I don't care what I'm missing I just want her around
I ain't coming down
Not gonna pick up the phone
Leave me alone
Not gonna pick up the phone
Rather stick on my own
I can see she ain't calling she's off with somebody new
And there's nothing I can do
Don't wanna go for a ride
Don't wanna go outside
Don't wanna go for a ride
Just gonna sit and hide
I don't care where we're going not if she ain't coming along
Without her it just feels wrong
I don't wanna go downstairs
I don't wanna go down there
I don't wanna go downstairs
Not if she's not there
I don't care what I'm missing I just want her around
I ain't coming down

Riding on a pickup with a wagon wheel
Through all kinds of stormy weather
There's a train and it's coming
On it rides my only letter
Whenever never comes around
Pass over any kind of trade
Any promise that life would be better
Give me a home on the range
We'll listen to rain on the window patter
Whenever never comes around
There'll be no stopping at the water fall
No time for the tightening of the leather
Sleepy-time tea or a rolled cigarette
For any night there after
Whenever never comes around
The bar left the door unlocked
And a coin for the parking meter
Sitting down for what may be a long, long while
As the sweet tea is being mixed with liquor
For whenever never comes around
Hear that whistle blowing?
I hear the front door in comes the bartender
I suppose by now you're busy reading
Picturing me at the bottom of your ladder
Whenever never comes around

Take It Easy For Me
07:30
|

It's raining tonight in Rapid city
Checking into a cheap motel
The roads been long and black
And theres no signs pointing back
Stepped outside as the rain disappeared
Met all of the travelers staying here
-
Levons been driving semis since his hair was brown
Passing through the blue mountains of Tennessee
Singing 'There's a girl waiting for me
Where the river meets the sea'
Started saying the road was getting old
Gonna trade it in for her I'm told
-
Met an old man on a train headed home
Said don't hang you shoes till you wanna stay
He turned his plane ore the South China Sea
And his back on a life of sad misery
Traveled up mountains, down streams
But the big sky country was the best he'd seen
-
Jackie and D, they're hitting the town tonight
Off to dig that saintly saxophone wail
Jack saw the sign and the copper paint
And boy he and D just couldn't wait
How they get by is anyones guess
But you can bet they're doing what they do best
Two lovers rush by they're just checking in
Too drunk to see the signs
They may forget love is hard to find
Till the day that they leave it behind
And they wont know what I mean
Till they're carving other names up i an old pine tree
Luke stands alone starring down the road
It looks like a tightrope of a trail
But theres something breathing down an unborn freeway
And that's where I'll be heading
-
Morning light and I'm on the road again
Like meeting up with a long lost friend
Just gonna sit and listen to the wheels spin
Let um tell me bout where they've been
There's not a day that goes by
I don't hear that wheel cry
"That it easy for me and keep rolling on"
