Hedy Miles 05:53
Well, Hedy Miles with your stars turned green and your cross feeling mean until you’re old like a sap sucker country hole Yes, Hedy Miles with your long wide breads the kind that turn gray when you’re stoned well, good-bye’s never coming home Well, old man Joe when you see your wife do you think twice about the law? well the county clerk is down the hall Cause you married young and you didn’t foresee the weather being so down right cruel to the face of your married love and you Jacob John, well the sergeant said he shot people dead in check and bones, from atop the giant concrete stones yes, Jacob John, the sergeants dread has long been said is the sun at dawn, for another battle is sure to come Well, Hedy Miles as you lay amongst the trees with your socks pulled to your knees, just like a nun well, fire and brimstones never fun Yes, Hedy Miles with the tops of pines drunk with wine and driving home, you better stop them before they get thrown

Minds Eye 06:02
Well you saw her through the makeup Now her head is on a plate Cause your babies on to faking Her grin gave it always But your minds eye aint breaking Your dreams are planted seeds And the fairy dust has bee taken And the god remember needs You find yourself in a meadow But you’re a creature that needs trees You’re running from your worries In search of Samaritan peace But your minds eye aint breaking Your dreams are planted seeds And the fairy dust has bee taken And you know the god remember needs Yo’re steering hard toward Clovis Got the pedal to your knee You’re going to sell your sorrows To a preacher man or thief You visit lonesome Mary She says she has some feed You kneel down to kiss her And she slaps you across the cheek But your minds eye aint breaking Your dreams are planted seeds And the fairy dust has bee taken And the god remember needs

Judy Blue 04:50
Did Judy Blue Eyes Mess with you Did she make you want to cry The whole night through Did you tell her h0ow you feel The truth this time Did you tell her that her love Feels made sometimes When you were just a child She spoke to you She said life had changed For the both of you Then she walked into the sky And disappeared Judy Blue Eyes your mother dear Now she miles and mile and miles away from love Judy Blue Now she miles and mile and miles away from blood And your mother too Now you’re all grown At least in size And scars of being alone Are well disguised Cause Judy Blue Eyes will always be A missing part of you a calamity Now she miles and mile and miles away from love Judy Blue Now she miles and mile and miles away from blood And your mother too You see her once a year When she comes to town She whispers in your ear I let you down You tell her it’s okay The past is gone You tell it’s alright Cause your heart is numb Now she miles and mile and miles away from love Judy Blue Now she miles and mile and miles away from blood And your mother too

Why your miles from town where the police have no blame And you hear a voice says you better stick to your “A” game But you’re strong of mind with a sense of integrity And you need to say why don’t you quit fucking with me The jailer man why he don’t keep no pain He don’t understand that the DA’s gone insane And you hear his call but you don’t blink an eye Cause you took the fall for some unknown imaginary guy Now your looking for some home Just looking for some home You lay awake and you think about democracy But it seems so fake in the twenty first century It’s hard to say when you might be leaving this place But you can thank the state for holding you without a case Now your looking for some home Just looking for some home

Will's Song 04:08
Your bodies aching for some more You’re feeling lonesome cause Your love is gone for sure He took a right turn into the night And left you standing without a Chance to say good-bye And now you cry And you kneel But in time You’ll be leaving all behind You think it’s early Cause the sun don’t shine You can see the Tuesday In the Wednesday of his eye You check the calendar Its been a day If things were different You’d make it go away And now you cry And you kneel But in time You’ll be leaving all behind You’re drinking nectar From a soldiers boot Its sweet as candy but the smell Is killing you The weathers turning It starts to rain You sit and listen But you don’t hear anything Cause you cry And you kneel But in time You’ll be leaving all behind You see a clearing It’s up ahead But it’s not righteous Cause the words were never said You call your angels But they decline To give you answers As to who or what or why So now you cry And you kneel But in time You’ll be leaving all behind
6.
Well I’m home in your sunshine In your mountains Along your seas But you know I cant pretend To be so blind to your demands And play host to your sympathies But you make me an offer That I find so hard to refuse Cause you know it wouldn’t be right To leave you begging in the night With your leggings in plain view I’ve heard the word forsaken But your pull makes it in vain you know it wouldn’t be right to steal you kindly in the night when sadly I think we’re through but you keep, keep mistaken myself for the key and you know it has been said our love is broken still our hearts seem sold on the pain and the door, the door seems heavy whether I’m knocking or saying good-bye and you know I can’t pretend to go along with you friend and act like I’m satisfied but you’re giving instead of taking and I know that means a lot and you know I know you know our love is broken still our hearts seem sold on the pain

Shine 05:11
I worked all day for the money I worked as hard as I could It took me hours took me hours to find it in me Even my best was no good Now I’m home and I’m tired it’s your turn to shine yes I’m home and I’m tired it’s your turn to shine My heart is down right lazy There’s not much I like to do But when I think about you It’s funny what makes me move Now I’m home and you look good It’s my time to shine Yes I’m home and you look good It’s my time to shine Well I’m home early from the races The seven horse ran like a charm I know the kid he needs some brace’s Cause when he smiles it just looks wrong Yes I’m home and I got mine His turn to shine Yes I’m home and I got mine It’s his turn to shine It’s four past four in some places It’s only three past four right here There ain’t no time to trade places Might as well have another beer Yeah I’m home and I’m not tired It’s your turn shine Yes I’m home and I’m not tired It’s your turn to shine

You’re heading in nice and deep And the days have sold you cold And the nights have brought you more But still you’re keeping warm With flesh and blood And babies dust And tiny feet And lovers lust There’s a bottle on the street It’s seen the lips of the poor Who walk the morning light Not afraid to sleep at your door There’s no one home where they come from And dinner is just a stew There was a man who was sent to teach But he sat and stared at the wall You asked him what he knew But he turned and felt his jaw He took from you Your brightest days And handed back A blank page You’re tattered and torn And you’re lazy bones You got your head at your feet With inaccuracy Now you’re telling all your friends That the man you love is yours But his mind is somewhere else As he hands you modern bride Your body aches For him sometimes As you lay awake In lace from Rome

Song Of Joy And Sorrow You hear the songs of joy And you feel the saviors love Once again You need to recompense To the jury and defense For the truth was not revealed You’re packing up your things Yes your leaving everything that you can And you’re showing no concern For the lord will bring you worth And take you by your hand You’ve gone and made a deal To be good and never steal Like you’ve done You promised not to stray To read the good book every day And kneel down, repent, and pray But all the angels in the world Couldn’t keep you from that girl And her ways She asked you if you smoked And all it took was one toke For you to lose your way And the girl you call your own She turned kind of cold And she gave you subtle hints That she was going to call it quits But you paid her no mind Cause you were smoking the glass pipe She said you’re mine, you’re mine, you’re mine and then she’s gone Now you’re feeling mighty low And you got no place to go to spend your days So you rob yourself a bank and you end up in the tank This time, the jury sent you away
