Highway Deal

It was back some time, along a highway side
They were headed south on a midnight ride
Well, little did they know it wouldn't be too long
Before the law caught wind of their highway song
They caught em in the middle of a lone star deal
Bags in the back with a broken seal
Well it was Jim who run and swinging his gun
Got a bullet in the back, no he ain't comin' back
Well Lucille did scream, she was makin' a scene
Until them boys got restless seemed a broken dream
It was too late for the tow in haul
Never would reach Grande Rio after all
But just right then, when there seemed no end
Little Lucille, she done stabbed O'Neil
All hell broke loose just when it looked like the noose
Half the gang was slain and the rest ran away
And they're runnin' today
Stuck out on that old highway
Their lives they've spent just getting lost
They won't pay, they won't pay
They won't pay, they won't pay

Lay Down Your Guns

I don't want to fight no more
Girl you're breaking up my world
I don't want to be left alone
Out in the cold without a home
Lay down your guns
I don't want to fight this war
Lay down your guns
I don't want to fight no more
When you say those things
I just can't understand
I feel like giving up
Cause givin' in just ain't my plan
I made it through the winter
I near froze my soul
Heard the songs of the wind howl
Girl, you're so cold
Lay down your guns
I don't want to fight this war
Lay down your guns
I don't want to fight no more
Seen days when the sun don't shine
And nights when my mind unwinds
Felt the hand of time on my brow
And now I know that's it's time to pick up the plow
And sow the seeds of Love
(Jammz...)
Lay down your guns
I don't want to fight no more
Lay down your guns
I don't want to fight no more
Lay down your guns
I don't want to fight no more
Lay down your guns
I don't want to fight no more

Ashland Blues

Well I made myself a fool down in Ashland
Threw my heart into a dusty chest
In the cool shade of the trees
In a world of blue and green
I stepped across the plane into the odd world
I saw you dancing all by your lonesome
Needed someone else to match your steps
I said dance with me if you may
But you looked the other way
Your eyes were closed, you were in another world
As time goes by a fog obscures reality
As years go by the story begins to change
Was it all a dream
Or was it grounded in fact?
I guess we’ll never know, just the same
Send the cat down to the basement
Waters rising to my nose
Is it a figment of imagination
Or has the world around us shifted hues
You could tell me anything right now
And I’d believe you, as it is, as we are
I can only think of you this way
But were you even there at all?
The sky fell down when the sun awoke that morning
The weather seems to always follow my mood
When the sky is blue and clear
I am free of all my fears
When the sky is dark I think of seasons past
To this day, I admit I never knew you
Never saw your eyes or caught your name
But with time I’ve come to say
That I’m a better man today
And so I’ll live my life my mind at ease

Guilty Of Loving You

I'm guilty of lovin' you, and feelin way too much
I'm filled up with emotions honey that hold me like a crutch
You know you're the only one I'll ever love this much
First time that I met you darlin, you was lookin' like a dream
You said how do you do, Lord, I couldn't help but scream
You know I needed you just like you needed me
I'm guilty of lovin' you, I gotta hold you in my arms
Cause each night I lay awake in bed, just wondering where you are
So darling, please don't let me down, accept my love and charms
Come on girl, won't you listen yeah
When once I hurt you, don't you know I was a fool
Yeah oh baby, I took away my love for you
But now I see, good Lord I was wrong
So let me say one thing before you move along
I know I'm guilty of lovin' you, and you see it just the same
You got a hold on my heart girl, and one day you're gonna take my name
So please forgive me, don't leave my love in vain
Oh don't you see
Tell me what I did wrong
I don't want to live this way
Come on yeah!

On My Way

Goin' home, tryin' to keep my head up
Goin' out west, back where I was raised up
I'm goin' home, back where I come from
Three-thousand miles, and I'll be on my way
Six long months, and the rain kept falling
Felt like so much more of my life was calling
So I'm goin' home, back where I come from
Three-thousand miles, and I'll be on my way
Spent every penny just tryin' to live here
Spent all our lovin, none left for next year
Goin' home, to the sand and sun
Three-thousand miles, and I'll be on my way

Far Gone Friend

What’s happening my friend
Have you gone off the deep end?
Don’t you remember all the day dreams we had
Sharing bread when times weren’t so bad
To see you this way
From one thousand miles today
It seems you might be further gone
Than you’d planned on, than you planned
I don’t wish to find you on the ground
Or deeper down this hole you’ve found
For I know you’re made of love not tar
Please come back before you drift too far
I’ve kept a candle lit to remind me sometime
Of the days on the grove where we shared the wine
When we drove round whistling to birds
And heard the men of Eden speak their words
Please come on home, don’t waste one more day
Join me now ‘cause I can’t see you this way...
Remember my brother about the light and the Mother
Remember my sisters, not all’s lost in the night
Remember to shine on and keep lit your light
Remember to shine on and keep lit your light
