The Boatman:
You’re a man on a boat all the time
Are you gonna kiss the ground
A man on a boat all around
You’ve lived the life of a thousand men
A captain and a sailor
A mover and blood seller
Yeah yeah

You’r e renaissance boat driving man
You got blue blue water
A fancy girl with pretty skin
Are you gonna drown yourself in that boat you’re in
Cause you’re a drinker
you’re a smoker
a looker

Whisper the way, how you take it away
On that boat, sweet talkin’ man
Write all your stories of water and women
From life on that boat while you can
Yeah, yeah

I Wanna Live:
It’s been a long time, you’ve been gone
Leaving me here, high dry and lonesome
You been carrying on
Night after night
Day after day
Been talking to the long hot summer sun
About making my get away
Cause I wanna live
I wanna love
I wanna give my heart to someone
So I’m gonna live
I’m gonna love
I’m gonna give my heart to someone
Got my best cotton dress on
stickin’ to my skin
Part of me’s dressed for traveling
Part of me’s dressed for sin
Gonna catch me a fast ride
Gonna hit the road, runnin’ Jack
Bare feet on the dash as the highway breeze
Cools the sweat down my back
Cause I wanna live
I wanna love
I wanna give my heart to someone
So I’m gonna live
I’m gonna love
I’m gonna give my heart to someone
Goin’ down to the ocean
Stick my toes in the sand
Wash you away, in the salt water
Find me a good lovin’ man
Goodbye to the lonesome
Had as much as I can stand
Wash you away, in the salt water
Find me a good lovin’ man
Goin’ down to the ocean
Stick my toes in the sand
Wash you away, in the salt water
Find me a good lovin’ man
Goodbye to the lonesome
Had as much as I can stand
Wash you away, in the salt water
Find me a good lovin’ man
Cause I wanna live
I wanna love
I wanna give my heart to someone
So I’m gonna live
I’m gonna love
I’m gonna give my heart to someone

Tumbleweed
04:58
|

Don’t hang your dreams, baby, on a rolling stone
I said just you let it go
Just leave it alone
Cause it really don’t matter
What you want to believe
You never will fence in a blowing tumbleweed
Don’t hang your dreams, baby, on a rolling stone
Like a shiny thing hung on a Christmas tree
come New Year’s day, it’s gone
And if he said he loved you
And if you knew it was true
All the same you know damn well he ain’t no good for you
You better find somebody to love you
a little bit closer to home
and do not ever hang your dreams on a rolling stone
Cause it really don’t matter
What you want to believe
You never will fence in a blowing tumbleweed
Don’t hang your dreams, baby, on a rolling stone
It’s time to let it go
Walk away alone
And then some day, tomorrow
When he’s far down road
You’ll laugh about the time you thought you loved a rolling stone
You’ll laugh about the time you thought you loved a rolling stone

Laura

Laura, why you gotta be selfish
While your kids make excuses for your love
And Laura, why you act so helpless
Don’t forget you created all that mess
Boyfriends have come and they’ve gone away
the kids aren’t there to say, it’s not fair
Some say it’s sad that you’ve gone away
don’t you leave again for someone else instead
It’s a fine time, Laura, to get it right
The kids are grown, you’re not young anymore
So Laura, your self pity is childish
You’re making things so damn hard for all the rest
Some say it’s sad that your far away
responsibility isn’t there
change will do you good
there’s possibility
find the freedom in the brave, don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Put your fear away, don’t be afraid
Change is all you need, don’t be afraid
Boyfriends have come and they’ve gone away
the kids aren’t there to say, it’s not fair
Some say it’s sad that you’ve gone away
don’t you leave again for someone else instead
Some say it’s sad that you’re far away
responsibility isn’t there
change will do you good
there’s possibility
find the freedom in the brave, don’t be afraid

I'll Meet You Anywhere
03:57
|

I see a star that shines so bright
Your love just takes me there.
Your eyes are blue, so kind and true
I’ll meet you anywhere
hey ohhh, hey ohhh
I’ll meet you anywhere
hey ohhh, hey ohhh
I’ll meet you anywhere
Meet me where the currents flow
Drifting with the brine
Glistening in the pale moon light
Cleanse this heart of mine
hey ohhh, hey ohhh
Cleanse this heart of mine
hey ohhh, hey ohhh
Cleanse this heart of mine
Take my hand it moves real slow
My heart’s been broken more than once
Show me what’s inside your heart
I’ll show you what’s in mine
hey ohhh, hey ohhh
Falling down for you
hey ohhh, hey ohhh
Falling down for you

Calling My Name

Calling My Name
Amidst the rain and foul weather
I found a flower of red
Whispered my name, flavored in ginger
And honey was what the sweet flower bled
But the honey was made from fury
As all honey is
Memory grows like the grass reaching back
On itself going somewhere it knows
Saying my name
all at once (Hey)
Savory tongues meet the sour
Light the torch of the restless heart
The heart burns feeding on sight
But one of us is left in the dark
But the darkness takes a turn
Where the honey and ginger collide
Leaving the tongue, clearing the path
Again, for a new light
Callin’ my name
all at once
my name at once
One and one makes one
One and one makes one
One and one makes one
One and one makes one
Green as the grass and it’s vast tenderness
My desire for one is coming back to life
Callin’ my name all at once
my name all at once
Callin’ my name at once
Callin’ my name all at once

Sharona
Sharona, Sharona, your perfume is the only thing that’s real
And if he holds you and tells you
How much he loves you
Will it make you feel
You’re starving for some love
You’re starving for some light
Starving for some kisses, all the day and all the night
You’re starving for the needle, you’re starving for knife
Sharona will you ever get it right
Your lipstick, is just sick
It’s redder than the blood that’s in your veins
The bar lights, your scarred life
Keep you in the neon with your pain
You’re starving for some love
You’re starving for some light
Starving for some kisses, all the day and all the night
You’re starving for the needle, you’re starving for knife
Sharona will you ever get it right
Sharona what the hell with all the fight
You’re talking lots of nothing and the stories that you’re saying aren’t real
You’re talking lots of nothing and the stories that you’re saying aren’t real
Not real, not real
You’re starving for some love
You’re starving for some light
Starving for some kisses, all the day and all the night
You’re starving for the needle, you’re starving for knife
Sharona will you ever get it right
Sharona what the hell with all the fight
Sharona will you ever get it right

Tear it Down

Tear It Down
He walks around a lot and begs for folks to help him out
He’s smart, he’s got some hands that’ll take him far.
But the street has been taped to his shoes and his shoes are now taped to him
And it’s gettin hot and melting into glue
It’s hard, feet are pounding and he’s used to the blue
The flood is rising quick and he’s losing his grip
The white man’s dog is eating better
While the stamp baby’s sucking on sugar
Stuck as a summer bridge dweller
Losing bets with a fortune teller
High hopes as a blue collar worker
No side door anymore, want the front door
Tear it down, Tear it Down.
Take time to help him out
he's nice, seems to care a lot
but there's always a why and there's always something in his eyes.
He's always got an alibi because the colored tie is real tight,
white doves flying by, got their wings and they're singing high.
They're going somewhere and they're leaving him behind.
The flood is rising quick and he’s losing his grip
The white man’s dog is eating better
While the stamp baby’s sucking on sugar
Stuck as a summer bridge dweller
Losing bets with a fortune teller
High hopes as a blue collar worker
No side door anymore, want the front door
Tear it down, Tear it Down.

All Used Up
05:22
|

I have not heard a sound, but the noise is getting loud
Compulsive thoughts in my head stir up a thunder cloud
The day to day grind of taking all the care
Has used and spit me out like Goliath’s wiry hair
I’m all used up
all used up
all used up now
The wind sets your sail, takes you out of my sight
Pretending to be strong again, I’m drifting towards a flight
An inch away from a dare of picking up a hand
He looks at me like you did in days before the band
I’m all used up
all used up
all used up now
My armor falls to the ground and in the pile of steel
My heart is sad because your gone because someone else is near
I’m all used up and looking to distract thoughts of you
My medicine’s all worn off I’m choking on the blue
I’m all used up
all used up
all used up now
And in the dark I look away and I reach for a light
a glance among the fiery thoughts I see a shining knight
But I wish it was you
I’m all used up
all used up
all used up now

Thank You

Thank You
I never questioned anything
I never regretted anything
I loved you
I loved you
Oh, thank you
You held my hand from the start
Pretending I was your shining star
We got married
I loved you hard and strong
Even through the storms you charmed us all
I loved you
I loved you
Oh, thank you
I tried to have your baby
the doctor said it’s too late
so I cared for your children, I loved your children
all the while you were with her
What kind of man would do that
what kind of woman would take you there
I loved you, loved you….oh
Time has passed and now I see
Your love for me died in the sea
But I’m strong again
And now I know
My love for you, I’ve now let go
I loved you
I loved you
Oh, thank you
I loved you
loved you…Oh…Oh

Stay Stay
She’ll take it to her grave, he’ll take it to his cave
Come Sunday morning, church bells are ringing slow
Empty nest is lonely, feels like I’m the only one
Gotta car, but don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where I’m going, don’t know where I’m going
My eyes are only for you
My heart is only for you
Stay stay
Forty years of lookin’ at the other women
Turn my back, pretend it didn’t happen, no
I’ll take it to my grave, I guess I’ll be the brave one
Stand up tall for all the kids to see, all the kids to see
All the world to see, all the world to see
My eyes are only for you
My heart is only for you
No more tears, no more rain
Stand real strong
Stay stay
My eyes are only for you
My heart is only for you
No more tears, no more rain
Stand real strong
Stay stay
Stay stay
Stay stay

The Ocean
I dream about the ocean
Down South to the Gulf of Mexico
That’s where my mama had a baby
I was born in a little town East of the Biloxi wind
A town of believers
Waiting for their catch from the sea
painters, potters in that place
Like good people of faith
Waiting for their colors to arrive from the sky, seers
The ocean is in my veins
And it’s stuck like the color red
The sand sticks to my feet
While my spirit still runs free
The water comes and goes
Like some people that I know
Comes and goes, comes and goes
I dream about the ocean
Down South to the Gulf of Mexico
That’s where my mama had a baby
I was born in a little town East of the Biloxi wind
Born in a little town East of the Biloxi wind
