All i wanna do is get high by the beach
Listen to the sound of your heart beat
spend our days mellow not a care in the world
this is what i want for me and my girl

i wanna tell you all the things i know
where ive been and where i wanna go
i wanna tell you under the stars
i wish you werent so far from here

cause all i wanna do is baby get high with you
all i wanna do is baby get high with you

All i wanna do is free my soul
let go of the past and give up control
listen tot he sound of your voice carry me away
this is what i want for me and my baby girl

I wanna make this world a better place for you
no more fighting and for our children too
no more time to wonder why
we spread our wings and fly away from here

cause all i wanna do is baby get high with you
all i wanna do is baby get high with you

Everywhere i turn this world is full of pain
my brothers and my sisters they are going insane
while some sit back and play the same
some are looking for fortune, others looking for fame
I'm just trying to be a light in a cold dark corner
where there is chaos weve got to bring order
theres no justice for the children when we're all at war
there's no right or wrong, theres just the rich and the poor
So what i'm really trying to do is send myself a message
wrap it up in bows, hit record and then send it
not stress to much, you know i just bless it
with the positive vibrations that you know im expressin
so when this life is stressin, and your mind is messin
dont turn away youve got to pay attention
to the words you are receiving and the words you are sending
cause truth be told we don't know the ending

All I wanna do is baby get high with you
All i wanna do is baby get high with you

All I wanna do is get high by the beach
listen to the sound of your heart beat
spend our days mellow, not a care in the world
this is what i want for me and my girl

"If We Let It Go (Let's Go)"
Copyright Dan Stein Music 2021

im thinking of the sunrise // a new day a new life
I'm mystified and satisfied // I can see it now
But if you won't let it go // the little things they tend to grow
so take it easy take it slow // and you can have it all

but if you really want me let me know
we could put this song on the radio 
we can take this whole show on the road
so lets go

If you listen closely // these words will set you free
time is not the enemy  // if you let it be
this life is not a puppet show // so dont pretend you didnt know
you cannot change it anyhow  // cause thats the way it goes

but if you really want me let me know
we could put this song on the radio 
we can take this whole show on the road
so lets go

if we let it go
lets go
if we let it go
lets go
we could put this song on the radio
if we let it go

listen to your heart // keep your head up in the stars
youre never really far // youre never really far
from being all that you are

Im looking at the sunset // puttin down all my bets
giving it another shot, why not // i've got no regrets
I'll send it on the internet // or coming through your tv set
i'll smoke my last cigarette // if just let it go

but if you really want me let me know
we could put this song on the radio 
we can take this whole show on the road
so lets go

if we let it go
lets go
if we let it go
lets go
we could put this song on the radio
if we let it go

Black Cloud (4.6.19)

Theres a black cloud hanging over me
its so dark i can barely see
but i know that the winds are gonna blow
and my troubles will drift away
yeah my troubles will drift away

Sailing out into the ocean
no destination in mind
playin my cards
like my father always showed me
waiting for someone to come along

ace of spades in my hand
queen of hearts on the run
placed my bet
for a season of my life
but i lost it in the river of love

Theres a black cloud hanging over me
its so dark i can barely see
but i know that the winds are gonna blow
and my troubles will drift away
yeah my troubles will drift away

later on i doubled down
threw my hands up with my feet on the ground
wondered if the gods
put a curse down on my cards
cause this black cloud’s got me feelin' so dark

I feel so dark, and alone, that I cant go on
but i know that theres just enough wind to carry me home

i thought about my final fold
feel like im getting old
played one more time,
put it all on the line
and this story is yet to be told

💀 "Queen of Death" 💀 Inspired by my relentless willingness to fall in love with women who aren't right for me!

"This train is rolling off the track,
and its never coming back,
though this straight is flush with a heart of love,
I'm only holding one good jack,
I'll never quit though there's nothing left,
cause you're the queen of death."

Queen Of Death (Live At Cactus Jack's)

Falling for you (march 2020)

V1
The sunlight shines upon your eyes, 
hair blows gently in the wind, and im just 
taken by your innocence, but i 
told myself i would not fall for you

V2
and then you spoke to me, 
told me how youd build this fantasy, and i 
believed every word from your point of view, but i 
told myself i would not fall for you

Chorus
Oh how I wish that I could fall out of the blue
Just take these words -- and be brand new for you
but time just stops -- when i'm -- right next to you
I really told myself I would not, would not, fall for you

V3
10 years have come and gone, 
and all the memories they fold into one, and i cant 
shake this funny feeling i get of how it feels 
when imfalling for you

V4
Oh and i tell myself day to day, to just
live in peace and harmony, but when I 
cross that bridge yeah if i make it through, 
and the time stands still, well I would not fall for you

Chorus
Oh how I wish that I could fall out of the blue
Just take these words -- and be brand new for you
but time just stops -- when i'm -- right next to you
I really told myself I would not, would not, fall for you

Bridge
Im falling for you and i cant hold on
Im falling for you and i know its wrong
But when were love, and when were one
then falling for you is the only way i know

Chorus
Oh how I wish that I could fall out of the blue
Just take these words -- and be brand new for you
but time just stops -- when i'm -- right next to you
I really told myself I would not, would not, fall for you
would not, fall for you

Falling for you (First take).wav

21st Century Blues, written by Dan Stein, 2020

mighty fine day just to take a stroll
nothing to lose and nowehere to go
and when were rollin down the track
we aint done til the morning comes back well

24 hours or all night long 
we're gonna find out if we're right or wrong

take the first train out of town
my baby comin out just to spin around
drop a beat and hit repeat 
were gonna need more speed fore the fire goes out well 

money cant buy you everything
were gonna shake our bones on the mystery train

guitar

Hard times have come and gone
just listen to the music play on
cause the road ahead is dead alive
were gonna grab those horns and ride

hop on board the mystery train
and let the music flip your brain 

free love basking in the midday hour
golden light rays bathing showers
the fleeting moments riddled in gold
you can not be bought or sold 

its the 21st century
but its all still a mystery
its the 21st century 
but its all still a mystery

now were moving faster than a speeding car
we're livin small but we're feelin large
we the rhythm down but we need your lead
So grab the wheel its the 21st century

Nyc got me feeling rough, 
down in LA the times are tough, 
San Fran aint the golden gate
we're a dollar short and an hour too late

hop on board the mystery train
let the music fill your brain

twilight ride on the midnight express
coast to coast we're gonna do our best
let the music fill your soul
we're gonna dance all night to the rock and roll well

its the 21st century, but its all still a mystery 
its the 21st century, but its all still a mystery

21st Century Blues (first Take)

Last Train to the Promised Land

V1
The last train out, is the first I'm getting on
It's 2 miles out I got my bag I'm ready to go
Gonna ride for freedom or til the sun comes up
It's the last train to the promised land

V2
Well I'm just a man nobody knows my name
Wake up each day and its all the same
Put a dollar in my hand if you want some change
But don't come around here if you wont remember my name

Bridge 1
I'm going down where the river flows
Where the grass is green and the people know
What it means to have the very thing you dreamed of there 
and we gaze upon the beauty that is written in despair

Chorus
Climbing up to the mountain top
Lord you know we can never stop
Climbing up to the mountain top
Rising up to take a stand
Gonna make it to the promised land

V3
And as the night becomes the day
The morning light will guide my way
And still the sun will rest his head
And the blowing winds will take us home again

V4
And the story teller has his tale 
His words are chosen through the coffin nail
Shadows of the moon eclipse the sky in the afternoon
and the story is written, and the singer sings his tune

Bridge 2
Have you taken the higher road?
Are you prepared to carry that load?
When all the words have slipped away and there's nothing left to say,
well we've all gotta live for today

Chorus
Climbing up to the mountain top
Lord you know we can never stop
Climbing up to the mountain top
Rising up to take a stand
Gonna make it to the promised land

V1
The last train out, is the first I'm getting on
It's 2 miles out I got my bag I'm ready to go
Gonna ride for freedom or til the sun comes up
It's the last train to the promised land

Last Train To The Promised Land (first Take)

Golden Road

all things must come to pass, not everything was made to last
from the fire we did burn, and to the dark we will return
Ive seen fire and i've seen rain, ive seen the morning come again
i've been through hell enough to know, that all good things will come and go
and so the story is told

we ride this golden road, and to where we cannot know
and though the wind may rock our boat i dont wanna blow away not like this not today

a newborn baby spreads its wings, forgotten lullabies we sing
and as we drift on through this space, we cant remember every face
a child yearns for the light, but the fear of darkness fills the night
and like the light he seeks to know, all good things will come and go

we ride this golden road, and to where we cannot know
and though the wind may rock our boat i dont wanna blow away not like this not today

so hold your ground, though the road it may be shakey
and hear the sound of your voice as its breaking through
dont turn around, its your time to shine
dont blow away, not today, dont let blow you away

we ride this golden road, and to where we cannot know
and though the wind may rock our boat i dont wanna blow away not like this not today

we ride this golden road, and to where we cannot know
and though the wind may rock our boat i dont wanna blow away not like this not today, I dont wanna blow away
