Ain't never gonna leave I'll stay right here No one gonna change my mind Let that be clear Ain't gonna go Ain't gonna flee Ain't gonna leave Things might get tough Might knock me down But I'll get right back up again To stand on this ground Things might get bad Things might get down Things might get rough Try to throw me down Gonna get back up Nothing gonna keep me there In that messy muck Try to throw me down Try to get me stuck Gonna get back up

Write on my heart Write on my mind Help me to be the way you designed Fill me with love Fill me with peace Pour out of me as your hands and your feet Draw me in close Draw me in tight Write on my mind what brings you delight I'll love with my heart I'll love with my soul I'll love with my mind and my strength and my time and all the length of my days You marked out my years You drew up my plans I was born on the day that you made so I could be in your hands You let me be free You let me to choose On my own I'm alone I'd be lost I need help to get through

Henry never worked inside At an office job Henry grew up north of town Feeding grain to hogs Henry never found a wife Well that's not really true He saw her once at a tractor show Back in 1992 Henry never spoke with her He figured he might one day Henry thought about it every fall While he was out there bailing hay Henry was a farmer who worked out in the sun He had so many chores to do that he’d never, ever, ever get them done Henry never washed his truck He liked it’s full bench seat Always thought that if his wife was there Now, that’d be somethin really sweet Henry never got her name Or asked what it is Mighta been Sue, Mary, or Jo Even Jennifer or Liz Henry was a young man who had a life to live He had so many chores to do but he had no time to give Henry was a strong man who worked out in the rain He had so many chores to do he never ever ever felt the pain Henry was an old man who worked his life away He had so many chores to do he missed his wife each and every day. Henry never missed a day Working on the farm He wondered if his wife would ever Be there in his arm

I’m the only one Who’s been in the same place as me Ain’t nobody else Using these eyes to see I’m the only one Been in these shoes of mine Ain’t nobody else Who’s walked them down the line I’m the only one Who’s as me as I can be Ain’t nobody else who feels just like me Now I”m the only one Who’s me gettin outta bed Ain’t nobody else got my face upon their head You just might be fine That you’re the only you Or maybe you’d get lonely And wish that you were two I feel so alone ‘Cause I’m the only me If there were a couple more At least then I’d be three That’s some crazy talk And we should let it be How ‘bout you be you, And me be me You be you and me be me Together we won’t be lonely And you can be in the same place as me

James One 02:15

Time Thief 03:05
I’ll tell you what I know about the thief of time He’ll slip right in and blow your mind Something goes wrong that’ll make you wait Next thing you know you’ll turn 88 Time thief comes when you’re driving along Doin’ 55 but that’s where you’re wrong Can’t pass the car that’s goin’ slow Every chance you get it’s no, no, no Time thief will come when you least expect Quick grocery stop and the day is wrecked Tried to pick the line that would let you move Price check got you stuck in a groove TIme thief’s comin’ for you Time thief’s comin’ for you Time thief’s there when you browse online You think it’s 5 minutes and you’re doin’ fine After 10 more you’re not having fun Half and hour later and you still ain’t done TIme thief will come with the service call You have to wait around doin’ nothing at all Gonna be there between ten and eight That’s am to pm. I got it straight What’cha gonna do to steal back your time Sing a little song and make a rhyme Have fun on the way and it’ll be great You won’t really mind when you turn 88

363 Days 03:22
Twenty Four hours are s’posed to make a day Three sixty three days a year that is just okay But two of them are really messed up And that is why we’re here Why we keep on doing this is not exactly clear Spring ahead (spring ahead) Fall behind (fall behind) It’s the dumbest, dumbest thing of all time Spring ahead (spring ahead) Fall behind (fall behind) ‘Cause spending daylight (saving daylight) is a crime I love regularity, going round and round I do my job reliably, it’s nothing too profound I mark the time in hours, in minutes, seconds too. It’s nothing that’s too hard for me. It’s what I’m made to do But twice a year they come up here and rip me off the wall They grind my gears and push my arms where they should never fall For weeks they mock and fault me for everything that’s wrong Oh, the time change they say to pass the blame along Spring ahead... I tick and tock all night and day with that familiar sound I use a simple battery I don’t need to be wound I greet the sun each morning at its appointed time I bid the moon good evening when it begins to shine Spring ahead… Everyone looks up to me from down there on the ground I must keep working faithfully to never let them down They think that time flies or drags, but everybody knows With the passing of the time it’s steady as it goes Why do we change the clocks two times every year Who is saving all that light from our big yellow sphere Where are they keeping it, when will they let it out By now we should have plenty, so please, let’s cut it out! Spring ahead...

Factory work ten hours a day Overtime's great but over time it pays A toll on the body A tax on the mind A few more dollars and whole lotta of lost time Pay doesn't matter without time to live Living doesn’t matter without time to give I feel less like a person, and more like the machines Push pull sweat churn, and suits count the beans Come here ‘cause bills need to be paid They come once a month, I come every day A drive in the car Ten minutes of peace Two hours at home before it repeats Plug up my ears shield over my eyes Machinery screams, Metal bits they fly Dulled and protected A Safety first sign The buzzer will tell me when the time becomes mine

Revelation 5 03:55
Then I saw on the right hand of him Who was seated on the throne with writing on the front and the back It was a seven sealed scroll I heard a mighty angel proclaim With his voice aloud Who is worthy to open the scroll Can anybody be found No one in heaven, on or under earth Was able to open or look into it And I began to weep so loud ‘cause there was no one …….. No one to be found Weep no more there’s the Lion, come look and see The root of David has come to open the seals And the Lion Lamb went up to the throne The elders fell down ……. and they sang a new song You are worthy to take the scroll and to open up its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased people for God -from every tribe and language and people and nation you have made them to be a kingdom and priests before our God, and they shall reign on the earth We shall reign on the earth You are worthy You are worthy You are worthy You are worthy You are worthy (to take the scroll) You are worthy (of all our praise) (of might and power) (of wealth and wisdom) (of honor and glory) (of every blessing) You are worthy (the Lamb the Lion) You are worthy (the King of Zion)

You’ve got your pro-negative anti-reversal plan Just to make it clear exactly where you don’t stand I wouldn’t ever want to say your truly never not right, but that’s not wrong Nothing is never concise if it isn’t very long. So in this song… I can’t say I don’t disagree. There’s nothing that I’d rather not see. I can’t avoid restraining the screams Everything is just as it seems I totally wouldn’t disagree with posi-negativity, wouldn’t you? There are so many insignificant important things to do. Let’s not avoid leaving today what we can’t do tonight, it’s one more day It’s the not most important thing we can’t avoid along the way. What do you say? Everything we’re not missing here is clearly opaque Nothing we’re not overlooking is unmistakably at stake

Oh she’s standing there in the middle of town She’s got things to say, and she’s yelling out loud Do you hear her? Do you hear her? Do you hear her now? She says she’s been here since the dawn of time She was there before the sun began to shine Held the moon in her hand one day Rings of Saturn in her ears, she will say Listen here All you simple people Come and eat All you wise and kings Stay at my feet All you simple people everywhere Look what I have to offer And you won’t wont care About anything Anything else Won’t find anything Anything else To compare with me Oh she’s standing there,with her arms spread wide Swingin’ them in the air saying that the time Is now. The time is now Come and hear I’d bet you’d love the wine that she makes The bread that we need, that she bakes Come and have a feast and get your fill There’s not much to do But be still Come and hear Do you hear her? Do you hear her? Do you hear her now? Take some time and stop And look and see There ain’t nothing bad around here. It’s easy to see All the things she’s saying sound just right All I do is keep praying that I take it home tonight That I’ll take it home tonight That I'll take it home tonight
15.
It makes me tired It makes me tired I just can’t sleep It makes me tired It makes me tired I just can’t sleep I lay my head on my pillow, and all I can do is weep Please tell me why Please tell me why I gotta feel this way Please tell me why Please tell me why I gotta feel this way Gonna wake up in the mornin’, gonna go on down and pray Come teach to me Come teach to me what’s right and what’s wrong Come teach to me Come teach to me what’s right and what’s wrong I see so many people hurtin’, don’t want don’t want it to go on Please give us peace Please give us peace it’s so dark it’s so deep Please give us peace Please give us peace it’s so dark it’s so deep Teach us how to sow, teach us to sow, what it is we should reap

You’re a good old soul But it’s time for this relationship to end Mmmmm…. Never thought it be this way You used to be so good You and your partner I’m cutting you loose Undoing the ties, And ending this abuse You’re a good old soul But it’s time for this to end You’ve carried me through many miles of life But new things must come along to ease the strife You’re a good old soul But it’s time for this to end You’re tattered and worn Rougher than you used to be The scuffs and scrapes have gotten too much for me You’re a good old soul But it’s time for this to end We’ve walked this way, many times before This time I’m leaving you outside the back door Goodbye old shoes, it’s time for you to go
17.
Whenever I 05:19
The wind only blows east, when I’m going west And if I turn around, it knocks me right on my chest I only have a nickel, whenever I need a dime And when I find a quarter, they say it cost thirty five When my eyes get tire, I can’t never fall asleep Once I’m finally dreamin, that’s when my alarm clock starts to beep
18.
Go Free 03:18
I see him walkin’ away and he’s singin’ Heaven knows the way that he’s feelin’ But I’ll never know, the things that he’s been through I’ve only heard a bit of the story But he doesn’t want to take the glory For the things he’s done. He’s not the only one Oh, I see her she’s walking and singin’ She never gives a place for that feeling That will never show. No, it will never show But she’s going and sowing and reaping Giving other people the reason Just to carry on, and help them be strong He has let go and now he’s free She has let go and now she’s free And I know that it’s me who is smilin' Dealin' with the feelin’ I’m hidin’ But you’ll never know. No you’ll never know But I’ll go on hopin' and prayin' Waiting every day to awaken To a brand new start. Come and clean my heart I have let go and now I’m free

He’s so hungry, but he can’t eat a thing His friends are with him, they laugh and joke and sing They don’t understand, they don’t understand, what the next hours bring He’s feeling sick, he’s sweatin’ blood and and he’s sweatin’ tears “Daddy take this back from me.” is ringin’, is ringin’ in his ears None of them can stay awake with him, It’s like they haven’t slept in years He holds the weight, the crushing pain, the misery He stays right here, hanging limply on that tree What’s done is done, he let his spirit go fly free. Thunder and lightning, and darkness and clouds The stones are all breaking, the tombs cry aloud The veil of the temple is torn from top down The dead are walkin’, comin’ up from the ground The victory opened the way, it opened the way for me The victory opened, it opened the way for me
20.
We’re a Seven Member Band We’re a Seven Member Band We’re a Seven Member Band We’re a Seven Member Band We got 2 fingered Joe on the six string guitar You should hear him strum’ and slide like a star When it’s time to play he never breaks a sweat When you ask him why it’s ‘cause he don’t ever fret. And our one armed drummer who keeps the beat He’s only got one stick but he uses both feet When it’s time to count it off, he’ll start tapping He’s easier to hear than one hand clapping We’ve got the best singer, and it’s one legged Jim He’s great with a melody and ready on a whim He writes the best lyrics, they’re as sweet a clover When it comes time to practice, he’ll hop on over. The gang’s all here at least parts of them are We’re 3 members short but I’m sure we’ll go far We’ve got seven members except we’re four short Let’s not worry about numbers because we’re not that sort.

Born Blind 06:36
Our son is born blind What do we do? Our son is born blind What do we do? What have we done wrong? What have we done wrong? Well, we’ll live our lives He can’t see his mama’s face He feels all around, He can’t see his papa too What did we do? Or What did we do? What did we do? Or What did he do? Babies born blind Couldn’t do nothing of his own Teacher what’s wrong Teacher what’s wrong Why was the blind can not see? Why was this boy born so he cannot see? This was nothing of his fault, This was nothing of his parent’s fault Nothing that they could do It was the will of God Who is to say if a baby will be born with sight? Who is to say if a baby will be born to hear? Who is to say? Who is to say? It’s all in the hands of the Lord. Now I will show you, the glory of God Go wash your face, of this mud that I’ve made Now I can see Now I see Glory be to God because now I see Did the teacher do wrong? Was it on the wrong day? When a boy blind and now he can see. No way.

Always in a hurry with some place to go Gotta fill every minute. Don't take it slow The drive can be boring, so I want to speed I gotta keep on moving to fulfill this need Can't stand to be bored Can't stand to slow down I'd rather go 100 miles and get outta this town Gotta keep movin'. Don't want to stop There's too many things, and I'm watchin the clock FIfteen minutes left in the day Almost midnight. I gotta hit the hay I'm tired from the runnin', but can't seem to stop No matter how I try I can't get on top There's a red light flashin' for me up ahead If I won't be careful I might end up dead

about

This is a collection of some of the better songs I’ve pulled together so far. Most were written as part of FAWM (February Album Writing Month), which is a challenge to write new songs that month.

There are serious songs and silly songs, instrumentals, rock, blues, gospel, rockabilly, and probably some other genres too.

Please have a listen to as many of them as you can stand. :-) I hope you enjoy them as much as I've enjoyed making them.


Note: ALL these tracks are FREE
It say's "Buy Album", but I set the price to zero. Of course, you can throw me a few bucks if you'd like.
