Amos

"Esker Song" by Jim Miller

This is the opening track to my 2000 album "Chickens on The Move," now somewhat dated.   The lyrics below have been updated from those heard in the song.  I wish I could have directed it to every kid on the planet, but they might not know the Huckleberry Finn reference.

I wish I could have seen the Mississippi
The way that it was a long time ago
When a man named Sam took his title from the river
Started writing stories about paddle-wheel boats

He had to know the river like the back of his hand
To bring those people back safely to land
But he never knew what the river might do
So he learned to read the water to get him through

And if every American kid
Could get to know a river the way that he did
Wouldn’t we all be a little amazed?
Wouldn’t we care for our waterways?

When I was a kid I had a lot of dreams
About riding the river, floating down streams
Stealing lumber from my Dad’s woodpile
But all my boats sank inside the first mile

Now I couldn’t see how Huckleberry Finn
Could ride his river again and again
I guess my folks could see my need
Cause they bought me a canoe to take downstream

Chorus

The river took me to faraway places
To tall grass marshes where I could not see
Beyond the next bend of liquid energy
I learned that life happens on the boundaries

So take me down to the Mississippi
Let me see the water like it used to be
I come to river to be with the water
So let clean water flow over me

Chorus

Chickens on The Move

Every American Kid

Every little thing I say, Seems to mess around your day 
Every little thing you do, makes me want to fight with you
Every night you drive me to drink,  I'm trying to swim but I know I'll sink
You've been getting on my last nerve, and here's something that I observe 

Fighting is no way to be
Loving you is what I seem to need
Tell me, why do we even fight
Can't we find a way to make things right

Are you really gonna take it that far, Baby just get in the car
Remember when you kissed that guy, I was just saying goodbye
Come on say it to my face, You’re the one who made the mistakes
Maybe you’re just too blind to see, Quit playing games with me 

Fighting is no way to be
Loving you is what I seem to need
Tell me, why do we even fight
Can't we find a way back home for tonight

No one seems to win
When did it begin 
So flawed 
But such bliss 
Just lie and tell me this can fixed
