Horses & Heartaches now on all major streaming platforms
Well I’m sitting alone by the fire with no phone
And I’m all by myself
And I’m all by myself
I blast the stereo sound and I run all around
And I can watch what I see and fall asleep with TV
All by myself
All by myself
Perhaps I’ll play my Guitar or take a ride in the car
And I’m all by myself
Well I can lay in the sun or read a book just for fun
All by myself
And I’m all by myself
In Defense of Ann Marie
Walking past the park and she was sitting by the lamppost
Eyes as glassy as the rain soaked street she’s walking on
Watching through the mist into a world without perspective
Looking for a better world than one she’s living in
Well coming down and walking home and fighting through the midnight
Still in search of angels in this hell where we reside
People can’t you see she’s got no need for where you’re headed
A state in which the entrance fee is forgetting how to cry
So she wants to get hi (x4)
Well locked within a jail cell, though no crime has been committed
Except the ones by people who had locked her in your walls
Can’t you hear her praying to her god for signs of mercy?
Can’t you hear her asking of the darkness that surrounds her?
Won’t you let me get high (x4)?
You tried to help by showing her the bridges you had crossed on
Well don’t you know she passed them up so very long ago?
And now within the city she ascends the deadly mountain
And plummets to the clouds from lofty peaks no eye can know
Well in the morning they had come to take away the body
Well Ann Marie, now you are free they wonder who’s to blame
Just look within the mirror all you fine upstanding citizens
You shake your head, It’s sad she’s dead; there’s nothing I could do
Cause she wanted to get high (x4)
Well every one I love you, won’t you let that be your mountain
And gaze onto the summit like a thousand morning suns
The winds of change will never cease your door can always open
So step inside, don’t try to hide the mountains of your own
And keep looking for the sun (x3)
Good Catch
You’re a good catch think you know it
You’re a real good catch, and I'm so afraid to show it
Well, you’re cute and warm and kind and bright
And I want to be with you every night
You’re a real good catch, I think you ought to know
CHORUS
All day long I think of things I'd like to say to you
But then I think it'll swell your head and you might leave me too
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
You’re a good catch, I think you're fine
You’re a real good catch, and you're always on my mind
Well, you’re sensitive and funny and you make me smile
And I hope you'll be here or real long while
You’re a real good catch, I think you ought to know
You’re a good catch, I must declare
You’re better catch than I've found anywhere
Well, you're level headed and classy for a girl like me
And impetuous and crazy when you need to be
You’re a real good catch, and I think you’ll surely see
Baby wants a house, wants a car, wants a diamond ring
Baby wants a purse, wants some shoes that match with everything
Baby wants a yacht, wants a jet , wants swimming pool
Baby wants a shopping spree
Now don’t you wuv your baby
I work all day and night to buy you the things
That make you happy and giddy and want for nothing
But when I give you a present, It's good for a day
'Cause I know that in the morning, I'm going to hear you say..
Baby wants a another house, a bigger car, some crystal ware
Baby wants new furniture, a dining set , a comfy chair
Baby wants a trip to Paris, shopping in the spring
Baby wants an evening dress
Now don’t you wuv your baby
I work all day and night to buy you the things
Of self indulgence and excess that only money can bring
But when I give you a present, It's good for a day
'Cause I know that in the morning, I'm going to hear you say..
Baby wants a stable with a horse and some riding clothes
Baby wants a day at the spa for smoothing out the lows
Baby wants to winter in Miami beach this year
Baby wants what baby wants
Now don’t you wuv your baby
I work all day and night to buy you the things
That make you happy and giddy and want for nothing
I work all day and night to buy you the things (repeat to fade)
Baby wants a tiara to wear around the palace
Baby wants a balcony to wave to all the masses
Baby wants an entourage of 30 when I travel
Baby wants the network news to cover all our parties
Baby wants what baby wants (repeat to fade)
There is a friend of mine, he lives in the 70's
He sits around all day, Smokin’ home grown hay
He sits in his underwear upon his sticky chairs
But he ain’t got a care, He smokes his life away
CHORUS
He [smoked] his life away
He [smoked] his life away
Now who am I to judge or say?
He [smoked] his life away
There is this guy I’ve seen, he sleeps in a doorway stoop
His smelly shirts a rag, he drinks from a paper bag
He drinks whenever he can; he’s your typical beggar man
But he thinks life is grand, he [drinks] his life away
This is a guy I’m told, He works from dawn to dusk
He’s fixed on some brass ring that he can’t take with him
His work becomes his life, he never sees his wife
But he’s got bills he has to pay; he [works] his life away
There is this guy I know, spends his time chasing love
He goes out every night and looks for Mrs. right
A good day ends in bed, a bad one all alone
But next day he’ll be on the phone, he [loved] his life away
There is this group I’ve seen, they worship all day long
And every actions in “the Name” and every day is all then same
They mean to spread the word, but they just spin in place
And feel protected by his grace, They [pray] their lives away
So what I’m trying to say, It doesn’t matter anyway
We live from day you day, And we all chose our way
As long as you don’t hurt anyone, Then you can choose the song that sung
And as we go from here to there, We live our lives away
We live our lives away, The path is yours to lay
Were going the same place anyway, So live your life away
So live your life away, The trip is yours to hold
For stories to be told, So live your life away
So live your life away, The path is yours to lay
Were going the same place anyway, So live your life away
It started out in high school
Your need to change the world
A step in evolution, if you dare
But every cause is a handful
And the rest of them are sheep
You turned around to look; there’s no one there
And it’s a simple act of kindness for you to bear
All day long you fight the tide
Between dark and light and fear inside
Don’t let any waking moment slip away
Oh you can’t legislate compliance
And you can’t turn a blind eye to defiance
And the world is just as screwed up as the day that you were born
But you’ve made that little difference
And for this you carry on
Oh you can, oh you can, oh you can oh yeah you can
Oh you can make a difference after all
You sold your soul for living
Your idealism wanes
You castigate yourself for selling out
But greed and evil are crazy
And the pure at heart are nuts
And politics is virginity for sluts
Still, with a daily life of values you heal the cuts
All day long you fight the tide
Between dark and light and fear inside
Don’t let any waking moment slip away
Oh you can’t legislate compliance
And you can’t turn a blind eye to defiance
And the world is just as screwed up as the day that you were born
But you’ve made that little difference
And for this you carry on
Oh you can, oh you can, oh you can oh yeah you can
Oh you can make a difference after all
If I Had a Horse
If I had a horse, I’d be ten miles out of nowhere
Standing on a mesa overlooking the desert
Waiting for the morning sun to catch my eye
If I had a girl (guy) who would ride there beside me
And use the North Star to give us direction &
Find our way ‘cross the desert back on home.
CHORUS
If I Had a Horse
If I Had a Horse
If I Had a Horse
Oh we’d be the best of friends
Now I’ve got a horse
And a girl (guy) to ride beside me
Headin’ to the desert with the sunset streaking
A palette full of colors all across the evening sky
Bridge
A horse that would take me
‘cross the snowfields of Montana
We’d watch the motor cars
All bogged down in snow
The older I get, The more I want to live in dreams
If I could find a lover who can be my special friend
We’d build a world, A world immune to time and schemes
And they can’t take that away ‘cause
Its my fantasy, Ain’t no one going to take it away
Its my fantasy, Say na nana na
Goodbye reality, persistent motivation to run
And I keep my sanity, I say na nana na
The older I get, The more I want to live in children’s dreams
The older I get, The more I want to find a place
Where good guys win, where summer lasts forever, where the rains don’t com
Where I’ve the power to point my hand at all the jerks, and just blow them away ‘cause
John, can you punch me out, I’d like to leave work early
There’s something that I've got to do today
John, can you punch me out come round about 4:30
I cant afford to lose an hours pay
Well I walked into the bakery and gave her the receipt
It’s a chocolate cake, says happy birthday Claire, I think you’re great
And she walks into the room and comes back “here it is its cute”
And she hands me back my paper and saying that’s $6:58
John, can I speak with you says the foreman in his doorway
There’s something that I’m afraid I got to say
John, I know that you clocked Casey out this evening
And I’ve got to suspend you 2 days with out pay
I drove up to the nursing home and said happy birthday Claire
You were my moms best friend and even though she’s gone
I promised her I’d carry on as long as you’re around
Though I know you cant remember who I am
Mam, there’s been an accident the policeman at the door said
It’s Casey mam; he won’t be coming home
An 18-wheeler locked up and slid thru 5th and main this evening
Right near the plant 4:43 or so
He handed Jane a bag of things collected from the car
Standing staring out the door as he pulled away
And she cried like only those in love cry , and at the funeral
The sun came out the way it does those days
John, can I talk with you, now please don’t lie to me John
There’s something that I’ve really got to know
There is a cake receipt for a Claire the day that Casey crashed the car
Who is she and how far back does this go
Jane. I never had any Idea, and he held her as she cried
And they never found the girl that went by Claire.
It’s a small town here where everyone knows everybody’s business
And in an hour or so he couldn’t go to far
John, you’re my dearest friend all these years since Casey’s passing
And the answers yes to anything you say
John, Its our honeymoon, don’t read the local paper
And they never saw that Claire had passed away
Claire I’ve been expecting you, its funny how those back there
Can only see the truths they’re let to see
If John had left on time from work that day I came to you
He’d have hit 5th street exactly 4:43
Casey…yeah Claire
What was that all about?
Come I’ll show you
Oh won’t you give me a song I can sing to
Oh won’t you give me a song I can play
I’m tired of unfed divas barely dressed in underwear
Dancing to computer beats in sexy ways
Oh won’t you give me a song I can sing to
Oh won’t you give me a song I can play
Don’t need a getto gangster who can’t buy a shirt that fits
Rhyming 3rd grade English in a rhythmic way
Just give me words that tell a story
Just give me words that speak of love
Oh won’t you sing to me of life and all it’s glory
And the inspiration coming from above
Oh won’t you give me a song I can sing to
Oh won’t you give me a song I can play
Just skip the tattooed studded man who thinks he’s Satan’s spawn
Screaming rage and hate with words I just can’t say
Oh won’t you give me a song I can sing to
Oh won’t you give me a song I can play
Don’t want a prepubescent rich kid singing of hard life
Managed by consulting image spinning teams
Just give me words that tell of madness
Just give me words that share a view
Oh won’t you sing to me of sad times and of gladness
Just give me passion for what’s true
I can jump on a plane when the cold winds blow, I can head for Caribbean sun
When the summer heat bubbles the roadway tar, I can jump in a pool and have fun
I can pull down a shade when the light comes in; I can put on a lamp in the dark
I can rid myself of these physical things, but I can’t kill this pain in my heart
CHORUS
Toodalai Toodalai Toodalai Toodalai Toodalai Too da li li aa
Well its over and done and im glad you had fun , I’m glad that you’re going away Toodalai Toodalai Toodalai Toodalai Toodalai Too da li li aa
Well its over and done, I guess you’re not the one , I’m glad that you’re going away
I can put on a Band-Aid for scrapes and cuts, I can take a painkiller for sprains
I can put in an earplug when the noise gets too loud, eat a sandwich to kill hunger pangs
I can spread an umbrella when raindrops fall, In the snow wear a jacket and vest
I can rid myself of these physical things, but I can’t kill this pain in my chest
CHORUS
I can hop in a car when my legs get too weary, and drive to wherever I might
When I get tired and sleepy I head for my bed or get a hotel for the night
When mosquitoes come out I can put on repellent, When it’s bright I can put on sunscreen
I can stop this discomfort from physical things, but I can’t stop this pain in my spleen
Songs A Written
Late at night, when the whole world is asleep
And I creep down to the window and stare out at the moor
And I know , that I’m not the only one
And every thought I ever had has been thought of before
Ain’t a song that hasn’t been written
Ain’t a word that hasn’t been rhymed
And every melody’s been whistled walking down an ancient road
Ain’t a rhythm hasn’t been timed
La La.....
The museums are littered with the busts
Of warriors and statesmen and philosophers of yore
And in time history will take more space
Than all the room there is in space until there is no more
All the great men are all dead and they’re buried in the ground
The composers are all dead, and they never make a sound
All the great men yet to come, all the new things to be found
And at any given time that’s how it looks around
La La.....
Late at night
When the whole world is asleep
And I creep down to the window and stare out at the moor
And I know , that I’m not the only one
And every thought I ever had has been thought of before
Ain’t a heart that hasn’t been broken
Ain’t a tear that hasn’t been cried
And every couples felt that there is no love like theirs
Ain’t a risk that hasn’t been tried
La La.....
Well I came home late ,and I dragged my self to bed
I was drinking in the pub
And I woke up in the morning with a watermelon head
And I prayed to the god above
Go away , Go away , Go away ye demons now
Go away , Go away , Go away ye demons now
And I swore up and down I would never drink again
If I ever made it through the night
And I clung to the table as the house spun round
Till I landed at first light
Well I come from a proud line lion hearted souls
And a man has his demons to face
So I marched to the pub when the evening came around
And I bought a round for the place
Drink away Drink away drink away ‘till morning comes
Drink away Drink away drink away ‘till morning comes
So lets drink to the brave men who face the coming dawn
Without fear of consequences
And lets drink to wives who will face the coming yarn
And forgive our wretched souls
And lets drink to the barman, and lets drink to the team
And lets drink to the girls in dresses
And lets drink to the weekend, lets drink to the night
And lets drink to surviving the day
Drink away Drink away drink away ‘till morning comes
Drink away Drink away drink away ‘till morning comes
Whistle Verse
Drink away Drink away drink away ‘till morning comes
Drink away Drink away drink away ‘till morning comes
Drink away Drink away drink away ‘till morning comes
Drink away Drink away drink away ‘till morning comes
Don’t Love You (when you piss me off)
You ask me if I love you
I tell you it’s true
You ask me if I love you
And this is what I say to you
My love will always survive
I’m gonna love you ‘till the day I die
Like the sun in the day, like the dark in the night
My love will guide you unless we fight
‘Cause I don’t love you when you piss me off
I don’t love you when you piss me off
Well get your ass out the door, I can’t take it anymore
‘Cause I don’t love you when you piss me off
You ask me if I love you
I tell you it’s true
You ask me if I love you
And this is what I say to you
My love is stronger than steel
I’m gonna love you ‘till I eat my last meal
Like a star in the sky, like the sunrise on east.
My love will guide you unless you’re a beast
