Cruel To Be Kind

Teamed up with my good friend and associate Cameron Clark. I told him I needed two CC's of adrenaline directly into my track and he obliged.

Cam-Jam

Head Hang Low

Everybody Wants To Be A Cowboy

There's Your Trouble (Dixie Chicks cover)

I wonder what it is that motivates the creatures of the night
To circle ‘round the high-walled garden
Looking for a way inside

The smell of babies’ breath, I guess
The supple fruit of all good flesh
The crumbling cookie, flaxseed cake
The brick and fire which we bake with
The hearty fruit on sturdy vine
With love as sweet as yesterday’s wine

The boiling pot, the mother’s cub
A warning shot fired up above
As old as hills, a fear instilled
A caution sign, a chilly spine

The coal-black coat, the beady eyes
The slither and the scale and size
They’ll warn you once, they’ll tell you twice
Entreat you to take their advice
They’ll treat you bad, they’ll treat you nice
They’ll turn your blood as cold as ice

Hard times make strong men
Strong men make good times
Good times make soft men
Soft men make hard, hard times

Hard times make strong men
Strong men make good times
Good times make soft men
Soft men make good wine
Good wine make good time
Good times make hard, hard times

Toss Your Javelin

Hard Times, Strong Men

John Davey: acoustic guitar, vocals
Shane Leonard: drums, percussion, bgv, toy piano, violin, electric guitar
Jeremy Boettcher: upright bass, electric bass

When I was younger
And didn’t know what life was
I said my only purpose 
was to be your love
I said it like a bad thing
Cuz I wanted more 
Now I’d give anything to be that poor

When you would hold me
Never felt alone
I wanted to be higher 
Little did I know 
The view from up here now 
Gives me vertigo
And I’d give anything to be that low

Time just keeps on rolling by like thunder
If you can slow it down well that’s a clever trick
I’m just trying to Break the spell I’m under 
Hoping maybe this time it’ll stick

Started a fire 
and i let it burn
Always trying to get somewhere
Waiting for my turn
Just wanted to get through it
now it’s turned to ash
And I’d give anything to get that back

Time just keeps on rolling by like thunder
If you can slow it down well that’s a clever trick
I’m just trying to Break the spell we’re under 
Hoping maybe this time it’ll stick

Time just keeps on rolling by like thunder
If you can slow it down well that’s a clever trick
I’m just trying to Break the spell I’m under 
Hoping maybe this time it’ll stick

When I was younger
And didn’t know what life was
I said my only purpose 
was to be your love
I said it like a bad thing
Cuz I wanted more 
Now I’d give anything to be that poor
