And if Momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy....Love this.

We seem to be on ever ending road that leads us to the destruction of our own planet. In other words we are one more minute to midnight when it will be too late to stop the impact of climate change. We continue on the same road thinking we can wash away the daily grime at sundown.

Lyrics
One more minute to midnight
The night is closing in
It’s hard to tell what’s black or white
One more minute to midnight.

One more wave up on the shore
In the last rays of sunlight
We think this will go on forever more
At one more minute to midnight

Keep on the same road for one more day
Keep on the same road. We’re doing fine
Cool our bodies in the river at sundown
Wash away the daily grime.

All our lives are intertwined with
Sun, stars, earth and moon.
All our lives are so defined that leave us little room 

We’re one more minute to midnight. (Repeat and fade).

One thousand miles from Texas

One more minute to midnight

One More Minute To Midnight

We are born and live in a concrete world that surrounds us not realising the impact on the environment around us. We are trapped in an ever decreasing cycle of climate change and we don't see that "the grass doesn't grow here anymore". The conflict of happiness that modernism brings contrasts to the erosion and effect it is creating on the planet as a whole. It seems that there is so little space and yet so much time but we can't even hear a single word.

Lyrics
The grass doesn’t grow here anymore
Said the jailer to the birds
Concrete ceilings, walls and floor
You can’t even hear a single word

The only type of peace that you will find
When you’re fast asleep and all you have are dreams
So little space and so much time
You choose your life. That’s so it seems

Go down your heart
Go down your soul
You can find good reason why you are there
Go down your heart
Go down your soul
Wishing that you are elsewhere….. alright

All I want is to see the sky
That’s all I ask before I die

The grass doesn’t grow here anymore
Said the jailer to the birds
Concrete ceilings, walls and floor
You can’t even hear a single word
Concrete ceilings, walls and floor
You can’t even hear a single word
Concrete ceilings, walls and floor
You can’t even hear a word.

The Grass Doesn't Grow Here Anymore

Mid tempo country rock song about leadership. The ones that deserve this position will make people grow and shine, the others who often got the position for the wrong reasons to start with, are the example of what certainly not to do, like bullying and pestering others for selfish & even false arguments. No respect for these doubtful personalities. Played on Fender Telecaster 'Plus' Custom. (Quote by Plato, placed on FB/poets.

A MOMENT OF REFLECTION

Say it with your mouth
How much you love me
Just the sound of your voice
Gets to me baby
Say it with your body
How much you need me
I can’t fight it
Only you can do that baby

Your love is like a beautiful butterfly
Soft and gentle how I love to watch you fly
O I love you so much I just can’t let you go
Butterfly O butterfly

Soft wings of multi color
I just want to be your lover
Your beauty makes me feel free
Flying through the air
That’s how I feel when you kiss me

Your love is like a beautiful butterfly
Soft and gentle how I love to watch you fly
O I love you so much I just can’t let you go

Say it with your kiss
How much you need me
I can feel the passion
Coming through you baby
Say it with your heart
How much you love me
I can’t imagine ever
Being apart

Your love is like a beautiful butterfly
Soft and gentle how I love to watch you fly
O I love you so much I just can’t let you go
Butterfly  butterfly
Soft wings of multi color
I just want to be your lover
Your beauty makes me feel free
Flying  through the air
That’s how I feel when you kiss me

Your love is like a beautiful butterfly
Soft and gentle how I love to watch you fly
O I love you so much I just can’t let you go
Don’t fly away


Cause I love you so much 
I just can’t let you go
Butterfly let you go
Let you fly baby

Echoes of Sunday 12 Congo

Collard Greens And Cornbread

Its been wonderful one hell of a flight
Lord knows they’ll be a heartache tonight
Another soul passes into the light
Leaving treasures of a melody
The soundtrack of our lives

So soar like an eagle
Spread your wings and fly
What a beautiful view
Floating down the mountain side
O what beautiful sight

Its been a journey its been high and low
Yeah you got me sweating when the  heat is on
O in the music there’s a river of dreams
Leaving treasures of a melody
The soundtrack of our lives

So soar like an eagle
Spread your wings and fly
What a beautiful view
Floating down the mountain side

You maybe the new kid in town
Lonely and all alone tonight
I got a peaceful easy feeling everything’s going to be alright

So soar like an eagle
Spread your wings and fly
What a beautiful view
Floating down the mountain side
And you can’t  hide your lying eyes
Its been fun watch the eagle fly


Eagle fly -Juke Johnson

momma ain't happy -Juke Johnson

You know there’s nothing baby
I wouldn’t do
I would swim the ocean climb a mountain
Just to be close to you
Girl you know you drive me crazy
Sexy lady and everything you do

Cause I’m fascinated by the way you walk
Captivated by the way you talk
On fire every time you touch me
Cause I’m love sick and there’ no cure
The symptoms are I want more
More of your sweet lovin everyday

You know there’s something baby
I want a say
So before this moment passes by
Before it slips away
Girl you know you drive me crazy
Sexy lady and everything you do

Cause I’m fascinated by the way you walk
Captivated by the way you talk
On fire every time you touch me
Cause I’m love sick and there’ no cure
The symptoms are I want more
More of your sweet lovin everyday

The more I get
The more I need
The more I want
To love you baby O I’m

fascinated by the way you walk
Captivated by the way you talk
On fire every time you touch me
Cause I’m love sick and there’ no cure
The symptoms are I want more
More of your sweet lovin everyday
I’m on fire
fascinated by the way you walk
Captivated by the way you talk
On fire every time you touch me
Cause I’m love sick and there’ no cure
The symptoms are I want more
More of your sweet lovin everyday
