Quarter till 4
by Jeff Plowman
(capo 2nd fret)

Core deformities, calibrations in my mind
Of where I want to be
Some other place some other time 

Will there ever be a time to reconcile a life
Or do we slip away
and just slowly lose our minds

Or just take time to see it through
To find a way to keep it true

So here we are behind the door
Turn off the light It’s a quarter till 4
Goodnight, tonight

I’ve got no answers for you now
It ain’t a destination but a journey how
we fly through this life

Another year goes by, another chapter in our lives
To see how much we’ve grown
Surprise before our very eyes

Just take time to see it through
Find a way to keep it true

So here we are behind the door
Turn off the light It’s a quarter till 4
Goodnight, tonight

I’ve got no answers for you now
It ain’t a destination but a journey how
we fly through this life

I’ve got no answers for you now
It ain’t a destination but a journey how
we fly through this life

Quarter Till 4

Future Strangers
by Jeff Plowman


To get to know ya
well it took some time
one thing then the next
while we shared the wine

Maybe
if our timings right
Everything
will fall right into line

Comes the smell of
desperation
I don’t feel the shame 
of what we said

But our story
it won’t write itself
aint no way that 
we can flip ahead

I’ll never forget
the day we met
I never thought
we’d be in danger
to be future strangers

I saw you
in the window
wave to me
as we said goodbye

If we meet up
on another day
our memories
won’t be far behind

I’ll never forget
the day we met
I never thought
we’d be in danger
to be future strangers

Future Strangers

Wasting My Time
by Jeff Plowman



You’re wasting my time 
and my mind’s telling me to let you go
My will is broken
and I can’t take it with you no more
I’ll go it alone
I can’t stay here for a minute more
For that reason and a change in the season
I’m hitting the door

I’m outta here, today
You can’t change my mind to stay

I keep hoping 
that you’ll be someone that I used to know
It’s no wonder we’re going under
the seeds we sew
You don’t listen 
to what I’m saying it seems today
So for that reason and a change of the season
I’m going away

I’m outta here, today
I won’t change my mind and stay

You could try and make it right and I can stay here tonight
We can share our secrets till the dawn
I know that it’s complicated
I can’t find a way to say it anyway
I guess it was meant to be a song

I’m not known where we’re going
will it be alright
If we keep talking then we can take it
one day at a time
But sometimes we get stuck 
and then we fuss and fight
So for that reason or a change in the season
I’m might take flight

And be outta hear, today
But I’ve changed my mind, I’ll stay
I’ve changed my mind, I’ll stay

Please Move On

by Jeff Plowman


Seasons change come what may
You decide to go or stay
It don’t matter what I say
Do what you want anyway

You’re a starry eyed surprise
Casting sunshine all around 
With your white lies

Don’t get me wrong I want you back
You’re a bacon sandwich heart attack
Please move on before I bite
Another mouthful of your sweet delight

You’re a starry eyed surprise
Casting sunshine all around 
With your epic white lies

Don’t Worry About Me

by Jeff Plowman



I’ve been thinking about going underground
I’ve been learning about How to build a trap
Catch my food and subsist there

I don’t really know how deep I have to go
To get away from the things I fear here
They’ve got video on the interweb
That will tell me what I need to know now

I don’t care what you think about it anyway
I’ve got a mind of my own you see
What don’t you think about finding your own way out
Don’t you worry about me

Things are not the same 
It seems they’ve changed the game
Or maybe it’s just me that’s naive 
But sinking under now makes me wonder how
We’ll ever find our way out of here

That don’t mean I’m not a patriotic citizen
Careful contemplation of the world for me
Just like any other man minding my own business you’ll see
Don’t you worry about me

I don’t mind you telling me what you’re living for
You can keep on talking now
I’m locking all the doors

Because I have a plan I thought you’d understand
We can climb in my hole and stay there
If you don’t want to go you don’t have to go
But don’t you worry about me
Don’t you worry about me
Don’t you worry about me

Don't Worry About Me

40 Year Old RV
by Jeff Plowman


Broke down on the side of the road
got a little time, gonna search my soul
What the hell are we doing here
broken down again

Started out three week ago
loaded up the kids in the motorhome
We got a whole lot of stories to tell
Don’t know where to begin

Theres wonders to be found all around
Adventure at your feet

When you take a long road trip in a 40 year old RV 
Add to the challenge and bring your family
Might learn how to turn a wrench and see inside your self
So send me a thermostat, I’ll put it on myself

So here we are, can’t get too far the motors acting up
Only got 85 miles to go, I ain’t giving up
Looking for adventure, that’s how it goes
Might spend some time on the side of the road

Cause there’s wonders all around to be found
Adventure’s at your feet

When you take a long road trip in a 40 year old RV 
Add to the challenge and bring your family
Might learn how to turn a wrench and see inside your self
So send me a thermostat, I’ll put it on, I’ll put it on myself
