The Raven And The Dove
I have prayed for wisdom, now I pray for peace It seems the more I know now, the less that I can sleep Stay imprisoned in my conscience, trying to figure what it means To be caught between a nightmare and the sweetest of dreams Some days a raven, some days a dove Some days […]
Ramble
Ramble, when this world gives you more than you can handle You get on those two wheels and you fly to outer space Like your in a one man race Never thinking about tomorrow, you beg, steal, you borrow And you gamble, you gamble with your love like you don’t need it And when it’s […]
Wounded Mind
I feel their eyes upon me, as I walk across the room I can hear em’ all whispering my name So I tuck in my shoulders and hide the best I can It all happened so fast I can’t explain But if I had to I’d tell em’ all I really ain’t that special And […]
It Don’t Rain In California
She can’t do this, anymore She bought a ticket west and left me staring down the storm Now I’m sittin’ here, all alone In an empty house that used to be a happy home She said she needed sunshine She had enough of clouds I knew it wouldn’t take too long, for her to figure […]
The Plea
Mama, this highways gonna kill me And mama, I think my rose is wilting The kids and her alone while I’m so far from home I feel so guilty Mama, this highways gonna kill me I hope the road that takes me there will always bring me back But I guess whatever will be, will […]

Which One I Feed
I am the river that flows through my veins I am the black crow, I’m wings of change I am the rock that the rain couldn’t conquer I’m above, I’m below, I am hell and high water I’ve been the song carried in on the breeze I’ve wept with willows and I’ve fell with the […]
Where Even Angels Fear To Fly
Bastrop you don’t grow up, you just get raised On Hellfire and Brimstone and Amazing Grace The smell of stills and paper mills, you never quite escape But I got away I swore that I’d be done by 21 Staring down the wrong end of a gun I’ve drank myself ungrateful and I found myself […]
Whiskey
I’ve never been the kind to just turn and run Never lost a battle with a loaded gun Never been confused about who I am Or what I think it takes for me to be a man But lately it’s been hell just trying to get by Livin’ like I’m livin’ on a borrowed dime […]
Never Alone Always Lonely
Backside of thirty came fast, but what’s more I can’t remember younger days like before and it’s a shame I’ve done more runnin’ than most any age Whole lot of prayin’ on the backside of a stage, scared to death Wondering what’s next And I take the long way around every time As fast as […]
