The man don't loan and you won't borrow
But he takes a moment inside your sorrow
And with a pleasant timely smile  
Gives a handshake across the aisle 

Going to live this day inside the moment
Going find out where it truly goes
Not going to spoil today
Despairing bout tomorrow 

You can delight and you might wallow  
Put up a fight or choose your battles
Turn out the lamp throw wide the shutters 
Dance around inside your shadow 

Going to live this day inside the moment
Going find out where it truly goes
Not going to spoil today
Despairing bout tomorrow 

And the sweetest sound I heard
Was the calling of the bird 
And I whistled to the wind
And she sang her song again 

Going to live this day inside the moment
Going find out where it truly goes
Not going to spoil today
Despairing bout tomorrow

Inside Your Shadow

I am grateful for the sidewalk 
Though my feet hurt every day
Cause postal workers don't dodge bullets
Or lose their brothers long the way

I got frostbite on my fingers
But I don't let that get me down
And that's the way my prayer got answered
When Jesus found me on the ground

I drive six long hundred miles  
Every day the whole year through
Hauling freight aint walking minefields 
And losing brothers two by two

My back is twisted from the trucking
But I don't let that get me down
Cause that's the way my prayer got answered
When Jesus found me on the ground

And so I got to know a night clerk
Who survived a second tour
And then I thanked him for his service 
When he volunteered for war

Jesus found my ugly darkness
said the light won't let me down
And that's the way my prayer got answered
When he picked me off the ground

Piece living deep deep digging
Piece living deep deep digging
Piece living deep deep digging
Piece living deep deep digging

Black gold sticking to my pockets just a pipe laying son of a bitch
Deep digging deep deep living tent city under a ditch
Rock ready ticking like a timer furthest to the north as it comes
Piece living filling up my coffers and I came up here to get me some

Laying down in a hotel room drinking all my holiday pay
Putting out a call to my good good buddy gonna make it home any day
Reeling from the thunder body shaking under the pounding never going away
Looking out the window soaking up the tundra brother its as bad as they say

Rock ready ticking like a timer furthest to the north as it comes
Piece living filling up my coffers and I came up here to get me some

Doing three months in and three weeks out 
more money than I know what to do with
Got a mustang baby a vintage guitar 
and a woman that I got a good deal with
she gives me lovin good good hugging
and doesn’t make a fuss when its time to go away
I’ll be working for the winter maybe after the summer
With the loving that we make I’ll just stay

Piece Living

You pays your money down 
You take your chances 
And you believe in you
You try to forget everything that you learned 
Just to make it new
And out of the run you're gonna hit the wall
That you can work fast if you move at all 
When you stand still 
Is your crazy motion breaking you down

I got a song unsung
I got a love not found
I got a stone unturned
There was a haunting sound
It woke me out of sleep
Took me out of doubt
So I stand still and try to work it out

You built a rocket out of junk 
And the moon is in your reach
And she's loving you now hero
Her blonde hair all around you on the beach
And out of the fire 
You're gonna show them all 
That you can be first 
To ever jump the wall 
When you stand still 
Does your crazy motion break you down 

So I stand still 
In the wake of the bombs and guns
So I stand still 
And my hands reach up for the sun
So I stand still 
And my mind is allowed to calm down
And I stand still 
Let my worry fade away in the dust
And I stand still 
And my troubles fall away from me

I got a song unsung
I got a love not found
I got a stone unturned
There was a beautiful sound
It woke me out of sleep
Took me out of doubt
So I stand still and try to work it out

The truth may leave your lips so kind
hidden in a finely woven line
I'd like to find my best way forward
No easy way, to get this boy to stay

One hand over one foot on the ground
To the shoulder off the beaten path
Red Rover, caught you kicking the can
Send over your soulful man
Put One foot over, and one hand over hand

Love may look so good on you
Holding on to someone when you're blue
If we could find some hope in sorrow
I'd keep you close and wake up here tomorrow

One hand over, One foot on the land
On the shoulder off your beaten plan
Red Rover Capturing the flag
Send over your soldier Sam
Got one foot over now put one hand over hand
One hand over, two feet on the land

Joe Hehir's Album

Red Rover

When all the blinders are behind us and we see the railroad station
The morning of the journey
Know where to begin
When I am searching for the somber and so kind meditations
Hidden incantations, just looking for the truth
And I am rolling along so free, forever's just a stray of energy
Aint nothing written down
And we go on and ever a flash of light to see 
Where moments tend to be 
If you could capture what you picture 
Put it on like a fresh clean shirt
Compliment your ink stained arms
That tell it like it is
But you would you buy it or deny
That there could ever be a place for you
Somewhere you could lay right down
A bed upon the roof
And we are rolling along so free forever just a stray of energy
Nothing written down
And we'll go on and ever 
A flash of light to see
where moments tend to be
