Everyday is Christmas

This is the album released in 2012. I figured I probably should post something to get this SoundCloud account going. So, why not put up all the tracks from Bow and Be Simple. Hope y'all enjoy it.

The Easy Road
Folks are falling out along the interstate,
Mining the hard scrabble of this old decade.
Cans and empty packs of cigarettes are gently placed all around the room.

Jimmy couldn’t stand the thought of living off the land.
Went looking for a job in public transit
Now he spends his days in bars and at night he’s driving borrowed cars.
And he says the world don’t work quite like he planned.

He says the easy road has taken us for granted
Seems as though we’ve taken it the same.
Looking for a change – and the unspeakable –
Left ourselves in chains.

And Rita she’s just crashing in her living room of choice...
Out looking for a job when she’s not stoned.
But the phone it just won’t ring, so she’s drifting off to better things
Than trying to scrape that meat right off the bone.

She says the easy road has taken us for granted
Seems as though we’ve taken it the same.
Looking for a change – and the unspeakable –
Left ourselves in chains.

Katie’s waiting tables, with her liberal arts degree.
(Serving) French fries with her poetry and prose.
And she’s paying down her loans and wishing she could move back home
At least ‘til she works off all that she owes.

She says the easy road has taken us for granted
Seems as though we’ve taken it the same.
Looking for a change – and the unspeakable –
Left ourselves in chains.

Folks are falling out along the interstate,
Mining the hard scrabble of this new decade.
Cans and empty packs of cigarettes are gently placed all around the room.
