I get a pretty good feeling, sitting here thinkin' 'bout you I hope you get a good feeling thinkin' 'bout me too Know that I haven't forgotten all the things that you've done At home my mind was reeling, but here nothin' worries me none I ain't a' got much money, what I have I spend each day And I seen a lot of sorrow here in this beautiful place There's a lot of people talkin', the rumor mill grinds on But if I stick to my own feelings, nothin' worries me none It's easy to carry your troubles everywhere you go At times you think your troubles are all that you know Take the time to open your eyes and gaze at the bright blue sky Pray for those on the fringes, by a thread they cling to life I can take a walk by the water, smell the salt of the sea The past can be just that, my mind longs to be free Thoughts of my friends and loved ones, so easily they come I hope they're feeling fine, I hope nothin' worries them none

Here We Go 03:09
Here we go it's time to move again On and on it never ends I was feelin' comfy in this house of sand Now I gotta go, who knows where I'll land The rug's been pulled from beneath my feet I gotta move fast that's the code of the street Here we go it's time to move again On and on it never ends My dear landlord is down on his luck Nothin' gets in between him and a buck Us common folk we gotta get in line After all you know no billionaire left behind Here we go it's time to move again On and on it never ends And just when you think you got it and you're finally in It's time to wrap it up, pack it up and move it again My whole life movin' from place to place I'll die on my feet with a smile on my face Where do I turn? Where do I go? Like Woody Guthrie sang "I aint 'a got no home!"... Here we go it's time to move again On and on it never ends...

When I see you about, something in me shouts That I wanna go back, back in time Back to way back when, you were mine But I know it's never again for us to meet Because I already followed you down every dead end street And it seems like it's been forever When I think of you, still I think of me But I know that it's best to move my feet Because I already followed you down every dead end street And it seems like it's been forever And it's such a strange thing Such a feeling wells up in me But that's the feeling that you shut down I don't need you, you don't need me All by ourselves we are complete And I already followed you down every dead end street And it seems like it's been forever In hindsight the best of things are at best bittersweet The end of it all, our time spent together

Goin' up the road I'm gonna get away for the weekend Goin' to a place I ain't never ever been before I gotta get out of this little ol' town The endless nights are bringin' me down Goin' up the road I'm gonna get away for the weekend Goin' up the road it eases my troubled mind Gonna find me a place where there ain't nothin' but time Sit up high and gave out on the water I'm afraid to jump but maybe I oughta Goin' up the road it eases my troubled mind Memories they're sometimes hard to set free Lord knows my memory has plagued me When memories they haunt you son Ya gotta move on and make new ones Memories they're sometimes hard to set free Sittin' on a cliff-top overlooking lake Champlaign Watchin' the birds fly over the watery plain There ain't nothin' like a bird in flight I watch 'em til they're outta sight Sittin' on a cliff-top overlooking lake Champlaign Pretty little miss just 'a sittin' listenin' while I sing Lord have mercy she's the sweetest thing If she don't cry, if she don't cling Who's to say what the future might bring Pretty little miss just 'a sittin' listenin' while I sing So I'm goin' up the road I'm gonna get away for the weekend Goin' to a place I ain't never ever been before I gotta get out of this little ol' town The endless nights are bringin' me down Goin' up the road I'm gonna get away for the weekend

Memories come crashing in, again, it's 4 a.m. I should be sleeping Instead I'm wide awake And still dreamin' of you And the wine don't work anymore It makes me forget but leaves me feeling sore And I guess there's some things, time cannot erase I know now that nothin', could ever take your place Remember old times Old friends, campfires and bottles of wine And dreams were real to me For only a fool thinks it's a dream while he's dreamin'... And lady time she's marchin' on I can't keep up, soon I'll be gone But I'll remember your scent, soft lilies and lace I know now that nothin', could ever take your place

Next To Me 07:00
Next to me my darling you know I really felt complete But now I sit in this coffee shop staring at the empty seat Next to me, oh next to me How I wish you were still next to me Riding on our bicycles through the endless aimless days You filled my soul with laughter with that smile upon your face Next to me, oh next to me How I remember you next to me So who do you hold at night in your little cottage room? When the rain beats on the roof and the storms block out the moon Next to me, oh next to me We were lying in your bed and you were next to me Next to me is where you ought to be But you prefer to walk your path alone Where will you go now? Where will you call home? Remember me my love, I was yours and yours alone The highway was a beacon a tractor beam calling me I wanted to run from the chaos to a place where we were free Next to me, oh next to me I look and your no longer next to me We walked the hills of Asheville carnival Old Orchard Beach The stars were all against us and our dreams were out of reach Next to me, oh next to me Through hard times you were still next to me I watched the British Open and how gallantly he fought But the old man missed the final shot and I knew that we were lost Next to me, oh next to me Lady Luck is no longer next to me Your heart has changed it's locked up now I guess I lost the key But that's alright it's only life go on and be free Next to me, oh next to me I gotta thank ya for the time you spent next to me There's order to the universe even when it's bad to worse Some things just ain't meant to be and no one gets off easily Next to me, oh next to me In the land of dreams you are still next to me The best of times they never last it always moves to end So take good care of your memories you can't live them again Next to me, oh next to me Pictures of you when you were next to me

Growing colder every day, every hour slipping away It's been coming for some time another good friend gone down the line Oh my heart so heavy it lies, I been up all night with the rain in my eyes Tryin' to write it down, tryin' to find a way But he meant more to me than I could ever say Once more we've reached the end and it's a Farewell again my friend and, so long....to another good friend gone... Oh this life will lay you low There's a chill in your bones when the cold wind blows And what's the point? What's the use? How on earth will I ever get loose? But no matter the hurt, no matter the pain Oh my friend you never complained So I'm tryin' to get it straight, tryin' to get it right It's never too late to find the light in the night Once more i'm in a tailspin and Lord I'm gonna miss my friend and, So long....to another good friend gone... All of us are here on the brink On our toes on the edge of a slippery sink and it's a Simple trick, of the mind, we always think that we have enough time I seen friends in the magic electric dawn And by nightfall, I seen 'em gone So I'm tryin' to speak the truth clear somehow If you got somethin' to say say it here and now and it's a Farewell my friend my brother At the end of the day, it's another.... So long...to another good friend gone...

Ain't nobody gonna find it for ya, it doesn't work that way Ain't nobody gonna hear it for ya, no matter what you say Ain't nobody gonna win it for ya, no matter how you play And there ain't no future for ya, there is only day to day Stop looking ahead stop looking behind Look down to where your feet touch the ground That's where you are and where you will always be Every moment is forever We look all around this world, find things to make us complete We've been taught life's about winning, we been taught how to compete Meanwhile the here and now gets wasted as we chase some far off goal Of all the victories that I've tasted ain't none as sweet as just letting go Stop looking ahead stop looking behind Look down to where your feet touch the ground That's where you are and that's where you'll always be Every moment is forever Still sometimes these thoughts of regret like to come creepin' in And I feel some sense of obligation like I gotta entertain them Shoulda' done this, shoulda' done that But this kinda' thinkin' ain't where it's at I am that I am not what I am And every choice I made was right in its time Stop looking ahead stop looking behind Look down to where your feet touch the ground That's where you are and where you will always be Every moment is forever.... ....and there's no such thing as time...

Man On Wire 05:45
There I a man on fire There I with one desire There I bid you take me higher There I a poor boy from the country side Become the Man on Wire Oh the movie seemed to go on like a dream The acrobat walked a mile above the street Fearlessly, one step towards eternity To risk it all just for a chance to dance with thee And in your eyes, limitless like a diamond night I see reflections of a better life And I spy, a world chained to fear and foolish pride All these inventions only born to die To live is to fly, space and time All limitations are but man made lies And there I, walk so high As a man on wire.... Oh the towers are gone Drift empty sky now where in dreams I walk This world seems lost In mindless chatter and empty talk My heart's in love With the memory of the higher place And though it's gone When I go there I can see your face But never again I, to walk so high...as a man on wire...

I would do things differently if I could I would be your friend I would never try to take your hand I would never try to be your man I would be unselfish if I could I would listen to you I would stop the battle in my head I would understand the things you said I would say things differently if I could Change things between you and I I would not let us fall apart I would not let you break my heart I would never ever let you go Had you not said it must be so How dare you ever doubt my love was true I would of crawled across this broken world for you

Where do I go? Where do I go from here? Where do I go? Good lord it's been forty years Where do I go from here? Feel like I'm driftin', driftin' away Feel like fading from this place every day Feel like I'm tryin', tryin' to try Feel like it's time to kiss this ol' town goodbye But where do I go? Lord I can't see clear Where do I go, where do I go from here? I go downtown feeling lonesome Then I head back home so I can be alone This place is wet and I'm dry as a bone I think it's time to forget...time to get goin'... But where do I go when nothing I want seems near? Where do I go if there's nothing new for me here? And on a secret night The stars were shining bright Reflected in your eyes I saw the rising tide On the street at night I see my old self Old times old friends and memories forever on the shelf Yeah I see that girl but now she's a ghost And as I walk away it's hard to believe... ....that she and I were ever even close Where do I go? Some memories cut deep dear Where do I go? I'm in need of a brand new fear Where do I go? Good lord it's been forty years Where do I go? Lord I can't see clear Where do I go? When nothing I want seems near Where do I go? If there's nothing new for me here Where do I go from here

Thinkin' 'bout the people that we used to be Late night thinkin' 'bout you and me Thinkin' 'bout the yellow haze twilight past Thinkin' 'bout you first and last To the end of the line where my hopes were dashed Thinkin' 'bout the river and the way it unwinds Led me to you through forgotten times Think of our affair and how it all fell flat Just to leave me thinkin' wonderin' where you're at Thinkin' that I gave ya what I should of held back Thinkin' of your smile in the raging storm Your eyes had the sparkle of a newborn I think of your caress and your skin so soft The moon in the sky like a quarter through cloth Memories like these are hard to shake off Thinkin' 'bout things that used to be Thinkin' and wonderin' if you're thinkin' 'bout me Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been Thinkin' what it means to never hold you again Thinkin' 'bout the bottle and I think about the blade Thinkin' 'bout the beauty of the mess I made Thinkin' 'bout the feel of the tourniquet I thought I could control it but I lost that bet You left my heart in danger and my soul in debt I think about your curves and your endless hips Think about kissin' your ambivalent lips Love fades away down a sliding slope Like lookin' through the wrong end of a telescope Headed to the gallows you were handing out the rope Thinkin' 'bout the roads and the fields turned brown Thinkin' 'bout the night before the stars fell down Thinkin' 'bout so many things I have to do Thinkin' that I oughta stop thinkin' about you Thinkin' 'bout the words to a long lost tune Thinkin' you were mine but I spoke too soon Thinkin' that I thought I could sing it somehow Thinkin' that thinkin' doesn't matter now I just get behind the mule every mornin' and plow
