Chelsea

Standin’ on the edge of tomorrow, talkin’ with the tongues of the past
Never gonna see eyes to reason, some say we’re livin’ too fast
She hung out at the Hotel Chelsea, she comes from a long line of saints
Sticks needles in her veins under street lights, she’s lived a full life today
And I ain’t too blind to see, what it’s doin’ to me, and if I seem out of place
It just might be the case
They don’t send your flowers to me, we’re dead before we hit the streets
you keep runnin’ wild horses, you’ll be gone.
The customers pay cash for the corners, a post modern day great escape
Powered by the fuel of the habit, and driven by the course of mistakes
Soul just screams to the conscience, how much more do you think we can take
Heaven sent us twelve dozen roses, and downstairs they’re fixin’ to bake
And I ain’t too blind to see, what it’s doin’ to me, and if I seem out of place
It just might be the case
They don’t send your flowers to me, we’re dead before we hit the streets
you keep runnin’ wild horses, you’ll be gone.
And I ain’t too blind to see, what it’s doin’ to me, and if I seem out of place
It just might be the case
And if I seem out of line, it just might be our time
They don’t send your flowers to me, we’re dead before you hit the streets
you keep runnin’ wild horses, you’ll be gone.

Insecurity
03:41

Think I’ll guide tomorrow, go and take her by her hand
Take her away from insincerity, simple words from a simple man
I think I’ll fly an act tomorrow, come and be, let it may
See the leaves fall with the flowers, gonna let it run away
Take the hand of tomorrow, I think I’ll lead her away
Take her away from insecurity, simple words from a man
Leanin’ up against the furniture, maybe stand in a hallway for a time
Disappear into infinity, did you think you were yours and yours was mine
Gonna follow intuition, she’s more wrong than she is right
But I never minded losing, I never had it, I just loved it for a time
Think I’ll take tomorrow, and guide her on a steady path
Take away all her insecurities, lead her on a golden track
See the birds are talkin’ suspicious, hang out on the phone lines all the time
I can bring them into full focus, in a telescope that will wreck their mind

Farmersville

How far down can I go
To find the lowest low
And when I’ve arrived,
they’ll put sand in my eyes
Welcome to Farmersville, on the flat side of the hill
Welcome to Farmersville, on the flat side of the hill
There’s a fruit stand by the cross
Down a road that I forgot
I was only there for five days
‘Till I took me away
And as I listened in the night
I heard a 2 O’clock train
When I looked in through the night
I found myself all the same
It’s only two in the morning
but I swear it says 2.0
And it’s getting’ quite confusing
To try to say to folks, “Hello”…..
You won’t find that in Farmersville
The people there, love there still
Only a few of their kind
But their love is in their eyes
Welcome to Farmersville, it’s on the flat side of the hill
In the people’s eyes are full of love, in Farmersville

We can take life, where we want to we can lay it down by a broken road
We can lay it down by the river, we can watch the sky just explode
We can take life, where we want to we can lay it down by a broken road
We can lay it down by the river, we can watch the sky just explode

Wave Goodbye
05:17
|

|
Why always your wave, be always goodbye
Can I wait on your pleasures, could you deny
Why I always look around me, for somethin’ wrong
Destitute canyon, where the horses run home
A long lost companion, a must said goodbye
In a cloud of angels, we watched him die
When love abounds you, take it to their soul
Never let it compound you, make you lose control
There’s a time when you and I believe
There’s a time, there’s a time to leave
When death surrounds you, I bought you a stove
Following back to control
Says leading discovery, I wear it on my sleeve
I’ll follow you sleeping and I’ll stare at their knees
When death surrounds you, you better run home
Follow your lipstick into the night slow
And you’ll only see a glimmer, of a tear in her eye
As she slips on the wet deck, and waves goodbye
When death surrounds you, take it down slow
Enjoy it like a good smoke, the best you’ve ever known
Sometimes when I believe
Some time, sometimes I believe in love

Dinosaurs Cry
04:26
|

|
Out of Glenwood Springs on her last great ride
On parallels of sorrow, they wave goodbye
Out of Ruby Red Canyon into history books
The Rio Grande Railway takes one last look
Past Soldier Summit, by a winter’s stream
These silver dome cars are like cool canteens
Headin’ down a track, rollin’ toward a tomb
The smell of the pines beneath an orange moon
Won’t you tell me America, where we’re headin’
Gonna build us a colony on the moon
I guess I’m old fashioned, maybe foolish and blind
Hello space shuttle, so long, train ride
Silver mustang on a golden track
Over trestle bridges, can’t we build them back
Spanish canyons, Salt Lake queen
Help her out of Utah this is just a bad dream
Won’t you tell me America, where we’re headin’
Gonna build us a colony on the moon
I guess I’m old fashioned, maybe foolish and blind
Hello space shuttle, so long train ride
Well, if you’re still willing, we can ride with the moonlight
Hear the whistle, she’s calling us deep in the night
I’ll meet you at midnight in the still of the darkness
In the High Sierras hear dinosaurs cry
Won’t you tell me America, where we’re headin’
Gonna build us a colony on the moon
I guess I’m old fashioned, maybe foolish and blind
Hello space shuttle, so long, train ride

5 Miles To San Antone
04:38

Five miles, seems like five days to San Antone, San Antone
Five miles, seems like five days to San Antone
Layin’ on a box car headin’ North, everything is on board
Drivin’ to a better place, a home with another race
Star bound train, headin’ toward a golden star
Seems like five miles, more like five days to San Antone
Seems like five miles, more like five days to San Antone
Five miles, more like five days to San Antone
Seems like five miles is more like five days to San Antone

Just Happy Today
04:33
|

|
There’ll be plenty of time for tomorrow, I’ve gotta play these strings all night
Finally we meet, I hear her sorrow, He didn’t leave, just said goodbye
When you’re gone there’s no comin’ back, I can reassure logical fact
There’s no phone on the wall to call to heaven, But I know there’s a door that can lead straight to hell
If I call you on the train you’ll be leavin’, Took your bags and packed your love and went away
I’ll be on the recruiting line tomorrow, Looking for a heart on a lonesome piece of slate
And it won’t be long ‘til I find my direction, It’s up around a hill right around from this town
And there’ll be a heaven waiting for me, And I’ll still have my feet here firmly on the ground
Cuz I ain’t looking for believing in tomorrow, That’s for them that have to pass the time
I’m just happy today, I can leave if I may, If I choose to stay beside you tonight
They put his bones in the ground and they lowered him down, And we sat there on the hill in the fog
And as the trail runs fast up upon that grass, Greener pastures on the hills miles away
And I’ll be on my knees crying in the desert, Cuz I don’t know if I ever will sail the sea
Cuz I don’t like that ocean any more before me, It just scares me into disbelief
It’s just too cold in the morning when I’m leaving, It’s just warm about the time I get home
Meet me in the driveway or the garden, Makes no difference if I’m here alone.

Guide your river, flows through your hand
Try to deliver, be the best that you can
In your heart deliver, the purest love inside
Find me honesty, who has the time?
An old car rolls by, under a moonlit night
And the radio screams, all through their night
And their hearts beat together, and their love it does shine
Don’t leave, tonight
Broken down insight of your road
No one can drive now
And no one could know
That we’ll all be together
Until the guests arrive
Yeah, It’ll all be forever, ‘less you say goodbye…

And Guitar
05:30

I don’t wanna wake up dead, layin’ there by the side of my bed
Droolin’ down on my pillow, hidin’ high from the great shallow
I don’t wanna wake up dead, I’m gonna miss you the time in my head
That you spent with me and shot me all the world to believe
Everything I saw, I saw in your eyes, everything I love I learned from your life, Sure enough it should be told
I don’t wanna miss you when I go away, I love your eyes and every piece of your face
I love your eyes, I love your face, I love every little piece of you
Every little bit of every little thing yes every little taste, every little face every little look
Every little cry, every little thing make me wanna die, everything I want you to see
Every time I breathe I wanna take it in and I wanna hold, I wanna find it out and I wanna find it out I wanna find out what it’s all about, but I gotta look out
