Go Ask The Mountains
05:28

|

I've hit many crossroads in my days
but still I ramble away the right away the way I was raised.
My father he taught me many things, so I was prepared for what the Lord
and the Devil would bring.
Holes in the sole of my shoes
Holes in the soul from my blues
The good lord, has put me at test
But this desert hasn't dried me up yet
Go ask the mountains, go ask the mountains they'll tell you.
They've seen it all, they've seen me fall
Still I don't let my troubles grab a hold of me
The Devil is around I've seen him walk this ground
Still I don't let him grab a hold of me
Holes in the sole of my shoes
Holes in the soul from my blues
The good lord, has put me at test
But this desert hasn't dried me up yet
Go ask the mountains, go ask the mountains they'll tell you.
The desert howls at the moon
as it glows over the weeds and the dirt.
oh what these mountains they subsume
as they've watched our history bloom bloom bloom
God is nowhere near a phantom
So I will forever thank him for the moon shine

Good Morning

Good, good morning
Tell me your life story cause I'd like to know
It's not often that I wake up next to bright beautiful eyes.
You're so captivating in the morning light.
Even more so when you had me absorbed in the night.
Let me learn more about you, don't get out of bed just yet.
This may be something brand new but I don't know the first step
So I'll say good morning, good morning
Our lives may change, now that we have met.

Roll It
07:41
|
|

As easy as they come, as easy as they go.
Let's bury the fire baby, let's bury the bone.
I'm knucklin' down, writing hymns that will outlive me
Time has never been on my side
Let the bruise and the breeze be your guide
Round and round, round it rolls
Round and round, round it rolls
Let me roll it, let me roll it
we'll just see how this goes.
You're on the darker side of town, why don't you find a better way.
There must be some sort of fade comin' round
Taking colors right out of the day.
We never know then this party's gonna die.
we never know when we'll lose our stride.
Round and round, round it rolls
Round and round, round it rolls
Let me roll it, let me roll it
We'll just see how this goes.
I never meant to hurt nobody
I'm just trying to put a mark in the painting.
Shovelin' gold, carried through hills.
I've watched you ride lightning, I've tried to learn your skills.
Round and round, round it rolls
Round and round, round it rolls
Let me roll it, let me roll it
We'll just see how this goes.
I wanna make something that lasts forever.
I wanna make something eternal.

Time Is Heavy
05:21
|
|

The lead rest's on my eyelids, I'm tired in the mornin'
I'm up before the sun rises, and I give it my all to the morning glory
The worlds supposedly slowly spinnin'
While many stories start beginnings
What are we supposed to do with our time?
Let's be good to one another and let ourselves unwind.
I know the day's can be mighty cruel
but we can all get passed it all
no one digs an always pissed off fool.
so keep your head up fellow friend, keep your cool.
Time is heavy
like the marriage between the river and levy
The clocks a rolling rock, the clocks a rolling rock
Time is heavy
Now everyone around knows I work hard.
workin' 9 hour days then playing at the bars.
I've always searched for a good life.
And one day I'll even find me a good wife.
Now I don't make time to cry about things.
Cause I don't need anything sadness brings.
I'll just keep on sailing on, Sugar
and I'll just keep on singing songs, Sugar
God created us to age slow
So we can gain a good decent flow
Learn to watch the leaves and trees grow
cause we're just babies in the universe
and that is a good thing to know.
Time is heavy
Like the marriage between the river and the levy
The clock's a rolling rock, the clock's a rolling rock
Time Is heavy

Pretenders
04:59

It was a hazy day, there was fog in my brain.
I was hummin' my favorite tune, and I was thinking of me and you.
But I know that you got a man
And I know I'm not in your midnight plans.
There must be something I can do
to get a footprint on your moon
You're giving me the chills,
If he don't treat you right, I know I will
I know I will
Dining on greens and wine, why don't you come along we'll kill sometime
Your body's a whiskey bottle, and tonight I'm sinking to the bottom
You're a flower in the middle of the room
And I just wanna watch you bloom
Your mans the luckies around
Cause he sleeps next to the baddest girl in town.
There must be something I can do
to get a footprint on your moon
You're giving me the chills,
If he don't give you love, I know I will
I know I will
The moonlight sits right over your head
and I wonder if I was meant for your bed
Your gaze fills the void in the undressed mojave sky
You're far fine like the desert sunrise
and even though I could warm your heart
but I still sit, playing my guitar
While you're warm in another mans arms.

Stop Glowing (For Me)
06:57
|
|
||
You're all still I see
Stop your glowing for me
Cause I can't sleep, and I can't keep this much longer
So I'm moving forward, without you.
And I'm pushing through, what I'm used to.
Cause we all know that you did me no good,
it took so long to be understood
We all know that you did me no good.
So long to be understood.
When we'd go out it was almost like you didn't know who I was
I just wanted your attention every once and a while.
So you can radiate that smile.
And I'd fall for you everytime
And I hope that you're swell without me.
Cause you're sleeping alone, girl.
Now maybe you can make yourself happy.
So just pour yourself another drink.
So maybe it's now best, that we don't come around anymore
My friends don't like you, cause of whats been done before
in the past, but we still love to laugh.
I wanted you in every way possible
but we all know that wouldn't last
we both know that won't last
Things moved too fast.
your voodoo spells and witchcraft
It won't last
We know that it won't last
We moved too fast
Instead of a fight, I'd go just inside and get high
I know I said I cared, but maybe thats not right.
And I know that you said you cared, but maybe thats a lie
So maybe we should just live separate lives
And I hope that your swell without me.
Your sleeping alone girl.
And now maybe you can make yourself happy.
So just pour yourself another drink.
We can't be friends, cause of the things we've done to each other.
Wether it's lies or under the covers.
So maybe we should just be with others.
But when I lay with another, don't try to crawl back to me
Tryin' to be my lover.
Stop glowing for me
stop glowing for me
stop glowing for me
stop glowing for me

Desert Skin

Darling Desert
I can't stay here forever
the tracks have all unfolded
as the breeze brought the mountains cold air.
you were shedding your desert skin
Im just a desert rat
you were one of gods best creations
left behind at the station
so it goes we all know
people come and go
we stay on our toes
as the moonlit sky is exposed
Ive been to mountaintop
Ive heard the good word
I've pondered my whole life,
while this cup of coffee's been stirred.
the lord above put the moonlight in our eyes.
the lord above put the moonlight in your eyes.

Soft Pipes Play On
07:16
|
|

Riding around town, just a little lost.
Even though I've ridden this road before.
Which seem of the spine, will I end up this time.
The livin' is low, but the livin' is fine.
Soft pipes play on, everyone will sing their own songs.
Without you, it's all blue
Oh lord, without you
I've got nothing else to lose,
grabbing hold of a substance, we follow the old shoes
Oh lord, without you
My train never comes through when I'm always looking for my groove.
The mountains, stood in front of the sun.
Appeared like paper cutouts, as the sunset had begun.
I am forever grateful, for the things I have seen.
I'm wise and young with steady young bones
I can't complain about finding stepping stones.
Soft pipes play on, everyone will sing their own songs.
Without you, It's all blue
Oh lord, without you
I've got nothing else to lose
Grabbing hold of a substance, we follow the old shoes
Oh lord, without you
My train never comes through when I'm always looking for my groove
I'll just let it all come my way, I'll just let it all come around.
I wont invest in expectations, that way I'll never be let down.
Let it all, let it all come around.
Let it all, let it all come around.
soft pipes play on, on and on everyone just goes by.
Everyone lives their own way, everyone lives their golden days.
Soft pipes play on, on and on and on and on
and on

Oh, Lynn
05:14
|
|

I remember the first time we met, had to pick myself off the floor.
Your long dark hair and gracious smile, just standin' by the door.
Since then we've had some vigorous years
and I will say it's been nothing to cheers.
I was sleeping on glass every night.
Till I finally got my head right.
Oh Lynn, I don't wanna see you again.
Oh Lynn, you'll just be the end.
Our flame had burned out many times.
But it always found a way to ignite.
You're not the right girl, there's better fits for me in this world.
There's no way we can set our troubles down.
There's no way I plan on sticking around.
We always agree to disagree, then the concord floats out to sea.
Oh Lynn, I don't wanna see you again.
Oh Lynn, you'll just be my end.
You are a stellar star, no matter where you are.
You are a stellar star, even though we fell apart.
You are a stellar star, no matter where you are.
You are a stellar star, even though you have no heart.

Mojave Son
05:12

I walked down that road, and it led me all the way home.
I've always been a rolling stone
I tell the best stories that you've ever known
My love is good. They say my love is good.
The desert can be a dark cold place where we all learn well.
Let me tell ya I've gained some backbone
walkin' in the land between heaven and hell.
I thought we were once good friends.
But you have proved me wrong again.
The wheels don't spin around you.
We'll see who's left standing next to you in the end.
My love is good. They say my love is good.
I've put my trust in the land.
I've combed dirt fields without a helping hand.
I'm sipping on milky galaxies, runnin' my fingers through the wind.
They call me the mojave son, my spirit runs circles 'round you
all night long.
They call me the mojave son, my spirit runs circles 'round you
all night long.
