There’s been a change in the weather 
Yeah the weather sure let me down 
And not a soul for miles around way out here 
I thought we’d be together But things got bad and away I flew 
Hey, what did you do to drive me way out here?
Now I’m a cowgirl in a hurricane 
Got a ranch on the open range
and It ain’t supposed to storm and rain this way out here 
It all began as a summer squall 
Got my horse up in the stall 
now Nobody feels safe at all way out here. 

Diggin’ out of the rubble 
Gotta ride through the pain 
Feelin’ small don’t help at all 
I ain’t talking about the rain 
In a world of trouble 
Got myself to blame 
Guess I gotta be twice as strong I’m a Cowgirl in a hurricane
 
My clothes and hair look frightful
The girl in the mirror looks twice my age 
I never handled a rifle til I came way out here 
A Lesson in survival 
Maybe it’s time to turn the page 
Should I find my way back again or stay out here?
Now I’m a cowgirl in a hurricane 
Got a ranch on the open range
and It ain’t supposed to storm and rain this way out here 
It all began as a summer squall 
Got my horse up in the stall 
now Nobody feels safe at all way out here. 
Diggin’ out of the rubble 
Gotta ride through the pain 
Feelin’ small don’t help at all 
I ain’t talking about the rain 
I'm In a world of trouble
No one else to blame
Is there anything half as strange as a Cowgirl in a hurricane 

Is there anything like the pain, of you keeping me hanging
Is there anything half as strange, as a foot of snow in May
Won’t somebody please explain, I think the world has gone insane
Is there anything half as strange, as a Cowgirl in a hurricane

Will anything stop this rain , my shutters keep banging
yeah the weather has gone insane, I hope my roof don’t fly away
Is there anything like the pain of you leaving me cryin’
Is there anything half as strange as a Cowgirl in a hurricane?

Is there anything like the pain, of you leaving me hanging
Is there anything half as strange, as a foot of snow in May
Will anything stop this rain, I think the world has gone insane
Is there anything half as strange, as a Cowgirl in a hurricane

Will anything stop this rain , my Shutters keep banging
yeah the weather has gone insane, I hope my roof don’t fly away
Yeah I’m out on the open range where it ain’t posed to storm and rain
Is there anything half as strange, I’m a Cowgirl, a cowgirl
Is there anything half as strange, as a Cowgirl in a hurricane

COWGIRLin A Hurricane

Hey, I wasn't always old and gray
I used to sing and dance, I used to run and play
Now I don't have a single word to say
It's like I'm in a trance, it's hard to see me this way.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la hey, you!
It's good to see your face - just want to look at you.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la sad, but true
I can't remember when, I could remember you
I can't remember when, I could remember you.

I Can't Remember When

It seemed the perfect time the perfect season
For a little romantic intrigue
But did your image blur did it occur to you
She may be out of your league?
The camera caught you smiling - someone caught your eye
But who’ll be there to catch you when she says goodbye?
This somehow got more serious than just for laughs
I don’t know I only saw the photographs

Before and after another heart attack
You should always bring a camera-maybe you can snap back
You’ll be between the sheets before you know it
Maybe capture two hearts a-flutter, if your shutter is not too slow
But by the time you expose her it may be after the fact
That’s when you get the picture,she won’t be coming back
I guess you’d better make the scene somewhere in between
Before and after

Never, never, not gonna touch this heart again
Not for any reason
You never, say never, not gonna fall this hard again,no no no

It seemed the perfect time the perfect place
For another affaire de coeur
But what's the strange expression on your face?
You're standing there without her
The camera caught you waiting, the caption your remark
"The things that didn't quite develop in the dark"
I guess you'll need somebody to help you through
When all that you have left are just these pictures of you....

chorus

You say never, never,not gonna touch this heart again
No no never, never,not gonna fall this hard again
Until the perfect time the perfect season....

chorus

Before And After

If I hold you close
and make believe you're mine again
would you mind too much?
would you mind too much?

If I come back home
and never say goodbye again
would you let me stay?
or would you send me away?

would you care
if I stare in public places?
you're the only one whose face is
always in my dreams
If by chance we touch again
would you mind too much?

Would You Mind Too Much?

I'll Never Let You Know(you're breaking my heart)

What Is It, Anyway

Gift Of A Love Song

If I had a home, I could have a yard in
I would plant a garden, a garden in my yard
I wouldn't want a lawn, I'd work just as hard in
I'd rather have a garden, a garden in my yard

If I had a garden, I would plant no hedges
no border walls or ledges - I wouldn't fence it in
companion flowers & herbs would support my fruits and veggies
I'd plant clover round the edges for the bunnies and their friends
 
and I'd be carefully choosing my soil and my seeds
Always respecting my birds and my bees
Learning to live with my bugs and my weeds
Those weeds are prob'ly medicine everybody needs

Now the neighbors will be yellin' - for our watermelon
and the pumpkins we'll be sellin' later in the fall
people don't be jealous of our beans and lettuce
by all means come join us, come one and come all 

you know this is medicine everybody needs

If I had just one wish for our only planet
I wish everyone would handle it with care everywhere
imagine all the neighbors sharing fruits of their labors
if everybody had a home they could have a yard in
chose not to have a lawn, they'd work just as hard in
if everybody had a garden
like the garden in my yard

that's right

I Love My Dog ~ Variations Part 1

we try our best to forgive
those who think we live
unconventionally

I love my dog
and my dog loves me

and I do accept the part
you'll someday break my heart
but not intentionally

I Love My Dog  ~ Variations Part 2

Hearts are breaking every day, everywhere
Dreams forsaken and nobody knows or cares
it's so hard to trust somebody new
It was so hard to resist somebody like you

Did you think of that when you wanted to stay together?
Did you think of that when you didn't stay?
Did you think of that when you asked me to stay forever?
Did you think of that when you threw me away?


Did you think of that?

will you keep green forests growing -
try and keep my vision true?
will you keep clean waters flowing -
and will you keep my blue sky blue?

will you keep green forests growing -
have you any better thing to do?
will you keep clean waters flowing -
and will you keep my blue sky blue?
will you keep my blue sky blue?

hey hey hey hey
hey hey  will you keep my blue sky blue? 
hey hey hey hey
hey hey  oh will you keep, will you keep my
tell me will you keep my blue sky blue?

I am a child of the universe
I am the mother of many
I have the power to bless and curse
true rivals, I haven’t any
my shining oceans, my sacred lands
the earth in all of her splendor
into your open and reckless hands
I surrender…
I still love you
I still trust you...

will you keep green forests growing -
and respect my gifts to you?
will you keep clean waters flowing -
are you going to keep my blue sky blue?

will you keep green forests growing -
have you any better thing to do? NO
will you keep clean waters flowing -
and will you keep my blue sky blue?
will you keep my blue sky blue?

BlueSkyBlue (beautiful Earth)

It was early September, I’ll never forget
The calm before the storm
Kids outside still playing while everybody’s praying
Lord, keep them safe from harm
Please don’t wait 'til it’s too late
Now the wolf is at the door
Of my dream house
My dream house

30 years I’ve been able to keep food on the table
Every day I thank the lord
It was just me all alone paid the loan off, and I own it
every brick and every board
Now the wind sounds like a freight train
Comin’ ‘cross the floor
Of my dream house
My dream house

My dream house
Just one sweet dreamer
Sewed curtains for these windows and danced across this floor
There’s been laughter in the rafter, but happily ever after  
doesn’t matter any more  
A little rain and thunder never bothered me before
In my dream house
My dream house


My dream house
Straw and sticks and stone, polished ’til they shone
 30 years of sweat and blood
They all know I’m gonna stay, I ain’t come all this way
Just to lose it in this flood
Well he can huff he can puff but he can never blow it down…
My dream house
My dream house

My Dream House

This road was once a river
It flowed into and fed what was once was a town
All kinds of folks have lived here -  they worked long for little
Now there’s not many left around 
Years have come and gone, along with most my friends
One thing that carries on an emptiness that never ends
It never ends

We’re living in a famished land
Built on a desert of old racist sand 
We get our love from the back of a hand
And go on living in this famished land
We’re living in a famished land

This road winds down through Polish town
Where shops and homes all waited for the wrecking ball
All kinds of folks from miles around
White, black and brown showed up at the union hall
Now we were all aware  - they knew we’d break before we’d bend
Then In our despair we put up fences that we’ll never mend
we’ll never mend 

We’re living in a famished land
Built on a promise from old racist men 
We get our love from the back of a hand
And go on living - we do the best we can
 living in a famished land

Now how can we revive the broken heart of America?
I can’t believe we’ve fallen so far  
Will anyone survive the broken promise of America?
Does anyone remember who we are?
 

The walls came down on Shame Street as the church bells rang
The women whispered their Hail Marys where the choir once sang
The choir once sang

We’re living in a famished land
Built on a desert of old racist sand 
We get our love from the back of a hand
And go on living - in this famished land
We’re living in a famished land
Built on a promise from old racist men 
We get our love from the back of a hand
And go on living - we do the best we can
 living in a famished land

Famished Land

I remember a time you were my only friend
But good and bad times all come to an end
For every favor I couldn’t reimburse 
I feel bad that I don’t feel worse

Well I feel sorry for anyone so ill
I hope you don’t suffer you know I wish you well
A long goodbye is a blessing and a curse
I feel bad that I don’t feel worse

I feel bad that I don’t feel worse
I feel bad that I don’t feel worse

As I walk don’t walk - across eighth avenue
If I see an angel I might think about you
As you embark across the universe
I feel bad that I don’t feel worse

Pity the poor man with nothing good to say
Pity the rich man who throws good friends away
All of their ashes a cold wind will disperse 
I feel bad that I don’t feel worse

No celebration, no second line
No white horses making one last climb
"The troubled plumes of midnight 
Are the plumes on a hearse"
I feel bad that I don’t feel worse

I feel bad that I don’t feel worse
I feel bad that I don’t feel worse

I Feel Bad(that I don't feel worse)

I know we’re gonna come back stronger, stronger this time 
together we can build back our armor it’s gotta be stronger this time 
I know we can come back stronger stronger this time 
Together we take back our power, we gotta be stronger this time 

We all know this is not the first time And it probably won’t be the last 
though it feels like this may be the worst time, 
we’ve gotta believe this too will pass 
And as the hurdles get higher We gotta hit harder to get the deed done 
we can’t just preach to the choir We've gotta come together as one 

I know we’re gonna come back - stronger - stronger this time 
Together we can build back our armor, it’s gotta be stronger this time 
I know we can come back - stronger - stronger this time
 Together we take back our power - we’ve gotta be stronger this time 

My friends in California -  be stronger - stronger this time
Right here in New York City we’re stronger - gotta be stronger  this time 
You’re on my mind in Georgia - be stronger - stronger this time 
My folks way up in Boston you’re stronger - gotta be stronger this time 
And Over in Nashville be stronger - gotta be stronger this time
From Maine down to Miami - be stronger - gotta be stronger this time 
Smokin’ in Colorado you’re stronger - gotta be stronger this time 
And walking in New Orleans -  be stronger - gotta be stronger this time 

Now I won’t cry if it takes a little longer I’m gonna be stronger this time 
You can lean on me... I’m gonna be stronger - stronger this time

special thanks to Alan Varner for the mix!

Stronger

featuring Sarah Brooks and Beth Styles #BetterLate

My Brothers...you’re still standing strong 
My Sisters... it’s still goin’ on

Can’t stop the bleeding out in the streets
it's still goin' on
Can’t stop the beatings from the police
it's still goin' on

And while the whole world feels like it’s burning 
As long as this earth keeps on turning

We still have this dream - oh mercy mercy me 
It’s still like it used to be
it's still goin' on

Kids are still dying on the border
it's still goin' on
Flint is still crying for clean water
it's still goin' on
Things are broken, hearts are breaking 
The world’s still waiting for us to awaken

 oh mercy mercy me 
We still have this dream -
it's still goin' on
We still have this dream
It’s still like it used to be
We still have this dream
it's still goin' on

Don’t it make you wanna talk about it?
Don’t it make you wanna scream and shout it loud?
 Don’t it make you wanna sing out strong?
Don’t it make you wanna stand together proud?

Remind my sisters and my brothers
As long as we still have each other

We still have this dream 
oh mercy mercy me 
It's still goin' on
We still have this dream 
We can still be the change
It’s still like it used to be
We still have this dream
We can still be the change
Oh mercy mercy me
It's still goin' on
We still have this dream 
It's still goin' on

It's Still Goin' On

The more people I know
I try to forgive 'em
For what I know about people is mostly smoke and fog

The more people I know
Can't shoot 'em, can't live with 'em
The more I know about people
The more I love my dog
Yes, I love my dog

And wherever I go
the landscape is littered
with folks so embittered they can't even talk
The more people I know
I've always admitted
The more I know about people
The more I love my dog
Yes, I love my dog

I love my dog and my dog loves me
unconditionally, unconditionally 
I love my dog
You've gotta love my dog if you love me
End of story.

And we try to forgive 
those who think we live
unconventionally

Love Love Love Love

I love my dog and my dog loves me...

If more people I know
would stand by our motto
Step out of your auto and come for a jog
Wherever I go from Cape Cod to Colorado
Though our time be short and sweet 
can't compete with me and my dog
You can't beat my dog.

I love my dog and my dog loves me
unconditionally, unconditionally 
I love my dog
You've gotta love my dog if you love me
From Cape Cod to Colorado (the more people I know)
from Dallas to Reno (love my dog)
from SanJuan to Cupertino (wherever I go)
from Key Largo to Juneau
gotta love my dog...
