One collective location for all my tracks.  This list will update as I complete songs, with each of the songs on the playlist added in the order recorded...as you listen, you'll hear me unwind, my recording engineering skills devolving from today, going back nearly two decades to when I recorded the first song in the list, using Cakewalk and a computer microphone wayyyyy back in 2004.

All Tracks

Intro – Chorus 
Freight train rolls on, freight train rolls on 
I stand my ground, this big bad world ain’t gonna beat me down 
Oh no, hey hey hey 

Verse 1 
Ain’t nobody ever bloody looking where they’re going man, yeah, man it really drives me nuts 
Heads down, on the ground, fool’s gold, lost souls, never gonna be enough 
Plastic, erratic, tone deaf to the static, bleeding from a million cuts 
Illusions confusion, not much left to do man.   
We’re all running out of luck   

Verse 2
One foot in the grave, one foot in the maze, I’m a slave to everything I own 
Got my head in the clouds, swimming upstream from the crowds 
Another lie I got to try it on 
Laying on the tracks, all desire and snacks, ignorance in the afterglow 
That light in the tunnel, hate to burst your bubble  
Like a moth to the flame, we go 

No Look (Life Goes On)

Now I Know
Tuned to Open F (E, Capo on 1)
Verse 1:
There ain’t a lot I remember about being a kid but some of it will never go
I remember Daddy driving, window open, cigarette, singing to the radio
I’d fall asleep and he’d carry me in, half-awake in his arms
Momma at my bedside, fingers through my hair, saying prayers, kissing me goodnight
Chorus:
A lot has changed, ain’t much the same
I miss the gravel roads, but now I know where they go
Now I know
Verse 2:
I remember the day of my grandpa’s wake, the first time I saw my Momma cry
And it takes me back to that dollar bet, he took the Dolphins, and I took the Niners
She threw herself on his casket and his screamed name, I didn’t get it, but I sure do now
When love runs deep and the levee breaks, it’s like drowning when you say goodbye
Chorus:
A lot has changed, ain’t much the same
I miss everyone that we’ve lost, but now I know where they go.
Now I know
Bridge:
No, it don’t matter where we started
Home, may be where the heart is
And gone may be where we’re all headed
But now I know everything in between
Well, that’s the gold, yeah, now I know
Solo
Verse 3
I hope they remember me carrying them, playing catch and playing guitar
That their Momma gave every ounce of herself, summer nights walking under the stars
Sharing pictures of my Daddy, stories he told me, and that I let them see my cry
And that they smile when they share our memories, still feel us by their side
Pre-Chorus
A lot has changed, some of it stays the same
Memories, they come and go
Now they know
Chorus: Now they know, now we know, now I know, yeah, now I know……

Now They Know

Pushing Me


Verse 1:
Your words are like knives, I’m bleeding out
And you’re punishing me with no remorse
All these years on my back to tear me down
Self-righteous, narcissistic, insecure

Chorus:
Stop pushing Me
Pushing me
Why is everybody always pushing me

Verse 2:
And I don’t know what else to do
To clench my fist or put a hole in you
Should I rise above or take you down and put you six feet in the ground

Chorus:
Stop pushing Me
Pushing me
Why is everybody always pushing me

Bridge
You think you’re tough
I’ve had enough
You think you’re tough
I stand my ground
You think you’re tough
I’ll fuck you up
You think you’re tough
Who’s running now

Done running 
Start running
Keep running
Keep running

Wasted Again 

 

Verse 1: 

When we pass, the small details  

Misplaced or erased 

Shall we live with this spirit 

Can we live in disgrace 

 

Verse 2: 

Around the door, how we live (will matter) 

Our lessons are not futile  

Only remnants of dreams (all scattered) 

Your remains in a pile 

 

Chorus: 

Wasted Again 

Like time to the sand 

Every breath that we take, it could be our last 

 

Verse 3: 

Mercy bestowed upon those (who learned) 

And yearn for knowledge greater (than thyself) 

Shall we move toward the shadow 

Shall we remain in the past 

 

Verse 4: 

How long will it last 

Till our return to the sea 

To rebirth, to dreams, to karma, we grow 

To dust, to ashes, to the wind, we all go  

 

Chorus: 

Wasted Again 

Like time to the sand 

Every breath that we take, it could be our last

Wasted Again

This is an old Fuzzy Grubb song, the first one we wrote, and in our first practice.  Feels like home playing this one.  I miss those days, those nights, and the people who filled them.  Hope you enjoy it.  This song is for you all (you know who you are!)

This Night 

Verse 1: 

It just felt right.  It came on the air that night.  My eyes closed and I opened my arms. 

I smiled so wide, that pain brought a tear to my eye, and my dreams danced in the sky with the stars. 

Chorus:  

I don’t know what I feel anymore.  Not quite as empty as I was before 

Everything was right, uh huh, on this perfect night. 

Verse 2: 

Surrounded by friends.  Laughs that stirred up the past.  Campfire songs carry us into the night. 

A haze of beer and memories.  I felt something stir deep inside of me. 

One by one we all drifted to sleep. 

Chorus:  

I don’t know what I feel anymore.  Not quite as empty as I was before 

Everything was right, uh huh, on this perfect night. 

Bridge: 

I guess things were bound to change.  Familiar faces all faded away.   

Our circle of friends was falling apart.  Tonight we are kids again.  Living for dreams that haven’t died yet.   

This moment is everything and everything was right on this perfect night. 

This Night

Hush 


Verse 1: 

I know it’s been a long time  

I can the hear the rain is falling on your side  

Don’t be afraid. I know I’m too far away. 



Chorus: 

Hush now, don’t you cry.   

Daddies gonna sing you a lullaby tonight 

Hush now, don’t you cry. 

Daddies gonna sing you a lullaby 

 

Verse 2: 

It’ll be alright.  I just called to say goodnight 

Imagine kisses on your cheek, me holding on to you until you’re asleep 

 

Chorus: 

Hush now, don’t you cry.   

Daddies gonna sing you a lullaby tonight 

Hush now, don’t you cry. 

Daddies gonna sing you a lullaby 

 
Bridge 1 

I can feel your pain. I can see it in your eyes. I wish I could take it away every time we say goodbye. 

Bridge 2 

But I’m a thousand miles away.   

I only see you in my dreams. 

And everything has changed.   

And we’re wishing things could have stayed the same 

But I’m a thousand miles away 

I’m a thousand miles away (Repeated) 

I’m a thousand miles away (I’m sorry – Intertwined/overlapping) (Repeated) 

I’m sorry baby.  (Repeated) 

 

Verse 3: 

Your picture on my desk.  Your voice is changing and I’m missing all the rest of you. 

But I could hardly fine the time 

I’m a mess, I’m lost, self-indulgent, and I'm blind 


 
Chorus: 

Hush now, don’t you cry.   

Daddies gonna sing you a lullaby 

Hush now, don’t you cry. 

Daddies gonna sing you a lullaby tonight

Hush

This is a protest song.  In no way is this a manifesto, nor am I to be considered a threat to act with an measure of violence beyond or representative of the words in this song.  I am a peaceful person who vehemently detests Trump, his administration, and everything that he does.  I appreciate the people who support him, I just don't support what they believe, and wholeheartedly feel that this country is a far worse and more dangerous place with Trump as president.  He sows the seeds of fear, hate, and everything that this country has been trying to mature beyond.  Clearly, to him, "Make America Great Again" simply means to make it white and make it male!  F Trump and F anyone who supports his ignorant policies!  Again, not a threat, just a pissed off songwriter who needed to say something!

(Bf) These politicians are (B) driving the train
Straight off the cliff, they don’t hesitate
Gather us up and they place us in chains
Care more for their power, this narcissist’s power

It’s never enough, justifying their greed
Both sides of their mouth, you can never believe

Verse 2:
No strength found in numbers.  They’re pounding their chests
Roots take to the promise that the beast knows what’s best
Can you see what is coming, getting harder to breathe
45, 47, wears his hate on his sleeve

From up in his castle, the king on his throne
Protecting his fortune, picks his teeth with our bones
To our last breath, with it our democracy
Resisting the tyrant, we must resist his lunacy

Just another 3 inches to the right
A civil war to be xenophobe free
Not my president, don’t represent me

Bridge Verse 2
I’m just trying to do things right
Deportations and tariffs are a ludicrous decree
Firing national security agents who refuse to bend the knee
The earth is just trying to survive
But you’re drill baby drill, want to gut protected lands
You’re gonna get us all killed, you’ve got our blood on your hands

Bridge Chorus
You got an expiration date
I’m declaring Independence from intolerance and hate
No place for despotism in the USA
Your fascist agenda is an ideocracy

From the Declaration of Independence

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Rap Verse 1:  

I’m sitting pretty now but I used to be so vicious. 

Was the moment I met you, that second everything changed 

So many lessons in my life, in all these bridges I’d burned 

Perhaps it isn’t fair, to have to be my calm in the storm 

But we’re rebuilding my foundation, all the years, damage done 

All this poison in my blood, always steering me wrong 

All these choices, these decisions, all the things that we do 

Now, every breath a confirmation that I’ll be there for you. 

 

Verse 1:  

Oh, I love you, my angel, I do 

Oh, my starling, the murmuration of you 

And I don’t want to wake up but for your light, my every morning, all I need 

This time is never enough, so be careful with the moments, let us have this memory 

 

Rap Verse 2:  

If I’ve learned anything, it’s that this is the time 

But it passes so fast, too old for nursery rhymes 

Thinkin' back to scraped knees, I was a mountain to climb 

Both the good and the bad, what kind of man was I? 

And you moved me, so when the sun sets low, let it be, it’s ok, you know we all have to go Keep the love that we shared, may it continue to grow. 

I carried you, you carried me so much further though 

 

Verse 2 

Oh, my child, my one, my blood 

My hand runs the lines marked on the wall, how fast the time has gone 

I smile at the box of things, and search my heart to feel that way again 

And as I fade away, may the simple things we had be enough when all that’s left 

 

Outtro 

And we all sing… 

Oh my love, every day is like a dream 

With you in my life, every day is like a dream  

Oh, my baby, how you blessed my soul, every day is like a dream. 

With you in my life, every day is like a dream

It Was Always You
Daughter:  dm, bfm, fM, cM

Verse 1 – finger picked first half, adding in strumming second half for the build
Yeah, I’d have done anything, I did everything for you
But I was lost in a dream, I just couldn’t see the truth 
Emotions are hell, I’d throw a ball in your honor, just to dance with you tonight
But you wouldn’t show, and if I knew insecurity, would I choose to believe it
To see how far we’ve fallen, I just couldn’t let you go

Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM (perhaps strings or harmonica, swelling in the space between verse and chorus - electric kicks in – power chords – kick it up even more
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one. 

Verse 2
You stood there dancing, in the doorway, just before dawn 
And your sun was rising, inside I was dying, just trying to hang on
Along for the ride, and you needed more, than I could ever offer, I tried harder to control, been a long time coming, and years before I’d see, that the only thing in the way was me

Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one. 

Bridge: A, bf, F, C,
The skies have darkened, as grey as I feel, I see brighter days coming, maybe just not for me
Take it for what it was, and know that you were loved
I’ll take it for what I know, I just wasn’t enough

Verse 3
I replay you in my mind, from the moment, that we met
Alone on a park bench, by the river, where you sat
And here I sit now, the image etched in my brain, from your first smile, until you walked away
I know life goes on, believe me I’ve tried, still getting burned by this fire inside.


Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one.

It Was Always You

Depression

Verse 1: F#/A > E/A > D/A > C#/A
Numb, how I feel?  So lost within this fog.  Withdrawn, too hard to cope
And time, eats away, at my brain, till I’m just a hollow shell

Pre-Chorus: B > A > G
This weight, this burden I protect
All the voices in my mind, driving me toward suicide

Chorus: B > A > G
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

Verse 2
Alone, my fatigue?  When the color in my eyes, gives way to my disguise
These lies, I tell myself, are losing their effect, consumed by my regrets
                                                                                                                                                                                       
Pre-Chorus
This pain, thickens in my veins
This monster in my mind, I’ve nowhere left to hide

Chorus
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

Bridge:  em > BM > CM > GM > F#M (4)
A black cloud is following me, it swallows me whole, invades my sleep, only one way it lets me go
Isolate myself from everything, the only pleasure in my life, comes from getting high, the only way I know to get by
< SOLO: B > A > G >

Verse 3
Goodbye.  All the fear, these whispers telling me, only one way to be free
To see, to escape, quick and painless sounds so nice, hand full of pills to say goodbye

Pre-Chorus
This waste, my mother on my mind
Drowning in a river of tears, so ashamed to leave her here

Chorus x2
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

I’ve got to get me out of here 
It’s time to let me go 
Place this noose around my neck
As all these pills go down my throat 
I just take another drink
And I’m drifting off to sleep
It’s time to say goodbye 
Please just let me die
Please let me go

Take Me

Verse 1:
Take me with you, I’ll leave it all behind
Disposable kingdom, I’ll burn it down tonight
There’s nothing left for me, here, without you in my life
Without, you are my life

Pre-Chorus:
Our souls, forever intertwined
You are the only thing that’s real

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Verse 2:
Take me with you, I’ll wait eternity
My paper heart, the holes you’ve ripped in me
I’m lost unto the wind
Forgiveness not forget
Do you ever think of me, am I alone in this illusion

Pre-Chorus
Our souls, continue to unwind
Were you, ever really mine

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Take Me

Here With Me 

Verse 1: Guitar - G > em > C > D | Mando – D > C# minor 7th chord 

What can I do, what can I say, we just want to go out and play 

In the park, in the yard, though our hearts are mighty scarred 

I’m just a boy, you’re just a girl, spinning round on the tilt-a-whirl 

Round and round and round we go, where we’ll land no one knows 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 | G > A 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 2: G > em > C > D 

What can I do, what can I say, I know nothing stays the same 

Under this moon, under these stars, long as we can, and just as far 

I’m just a girl, you’re just a boy, hand in hand, hang on to the joy 

Day by day, the years go by, all this time just to say goodbye. 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Instrumental Bridge: (Stays on G chord framing) G > B > C > B > am (repeat 4x w/ swelling melodic harmonies heavy in reverb) 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 3: G > em > C > D 

What did Dad do, what did Mom say, stay young, be kind, choose love, go play 

It’s a crazy world and that’s okay, the two of you make it a better place 

The day will come when we’ll be gone, side-by-side we know that you’ll be strong 

Don’t let the time pull you away, best friends, you and I, our family stays 

  

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em
