Wish I was a willow tree

Free Ride Lullabye
© 2007 Darby Jones & Buzz Kiefer

No time to dream American Dreams
Gonna ride the wind and spread my wings
Can't stand the man. Time to run
New vocation vagabond

I adore you babe, but I can't tell
When to kiss and when to bail
I'm so sick and tired of
Broken hearts and chasin' love

I threw away my telephone
Kept my thumb and some rollin' bones
I threw away my piece of pie
For a piece of mind and a battle cry

No time to fear no lookin' back
I found myself on the railroad tracks
I see my breath in the air
Catch a train go anywhere

The Gods are blowin' in my hair
The world is whirlin' I declare
I'm not homeless, I'm home-free
Nothin' nobody can take from me
Free Ride lullabye 
Free Ride

Free Ride Lullaby

Recently I played a popular game we all know and love, that starts with the phrase…  “Never Have I Ever…”

And at that exact same moment I was looking out the window of my nice condo in Hawaii at a very sad looking man across the street by the grocery store parking lot. He was standing on a small spot about 10x10 in the middle of the lot surrounded by a white curb, and believe it or not, he was just setting up a little tent right there in that odd location. We have so many people like him here in Hawaii, they are all over the place, everywhere I walk the sidewalks, and enter stores. 

Anyway, back to the game... My turn was next... and this song came from my answer to that game…

HOMELESS

VAXXED

If stupidity was painful
There’d be a lot of screaming
And wailing through blue cotton masks
For those that get my meaning
And for those of you that don’t

You Sound Vaxxed
You Sound Pfizer’d, You Sound Multi-Jabbed
You Sound Poisoned, Like A Spike Protein Lab
Pretty Soon You’ll Have Your Heart Attack
‘Cause You Sound Vaxxed

We found out friends are gullible
Our families are even worse
We’re surrounded by the zombies
And it proves brainwashing works

You Sound Vaxed
You Sound Pfizer’d, You Sound Multi-Jabbed
You Sound Poisoned, Like A Spike Protein Lab
Pretty Soon You’ll Have Your Heart Attack
‘Cause You Sound Vaxed

I think you’ve low I.Q.
How about one more roast?
Just open social media and look at what you post!

Pretty Soon You’ll Have Your Heart Attack
You Sound Vaxxed
You Sound Pfizer’d, You Sound Multi-Jabbed
You Sound Poisoned, Like A Spike Protein Lab
I Think I Used To Like You, But That’s Axed
‘Cause You Sound Vaxed
You Sound Vaxxed
You Sound Pfizer’d, You Sound Multi-Jabbed
You Sound Poisoned, Like A Spike Protein Lab
I Think I Used To Like You, But That’s Axed
‘Cause You Sound Vaxed
You Sound Vaxed

Wish I Was 
© Mickey Newbury

Oh I wish I was a willow tree 
Leanin' on a lazy breeze 
Movin' like a midnight train 
Through rainy Georgia 

Wish I was a grain of sand 
Playin' in a babys hands 
Fallin' like a diamond chain 
Into the ocean 

Oh a willow tree is strong enough to bend 
Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind 
A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be 
Lay me down let the water 
Wash right over me wash over me 

Oh I wish I was an old guitar 
Sittin' in a beat-up car 
Hittin' every two-bit bar 
From here to Texas 

Then I wouldn't be ashamed 
To look up my old friends 
And they would be so proud 
To see me strung up again 

Oh a grain of sand 
Is all I ever wanted to be 
Lay me down and let the water 
Wash over me wash over me 

Nobody wants you 
When you're down and out 
Nobody wants to know your name 

You're just another face 
Lost in the crowded street 
In the crowded street 

Oh I wish I was a willow tree 
Leanin' on a lazy breeze 
Movin' like a midnight train 
Through rainy Georgia 

A willow tree is strong enough to bend 
Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind 
A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be 
Lay me down let the water 
Wash right over me wash over me 

Wash over me 
Wash over me 
Wash over me 
Wash over me

Makes Me Wonder If I Ever Said Goodbye
© Mickey Newbury

She at times still comes around 
Though she's someone elses now 
And I can't lay it down no matter how I try 
Yes I leave her then I find 
She is no farther than my mind 
Makes me wonder if I ever said goodbye 

Night and day its all the same 
Pour some whiskey on the flame 
Burn another memory in my mind 
Through the years she moved uptown 
Well I've come a long way down 
Makes me wonder if I ever said goodbye 

Yes she always says hello the way she used to 
But my God she only said goodbye one time 
Heaven knows I live in hell 
Yes a bar room is my cell 
Makes me wonder if I ever said goodbye 
Makes me wonder if I ever said goodbye

Time Was
© Mickey Newbury

Time was I had a dream 
The sky was so blue 
The meadow so green 

A time in the fire of my youth 
A time when a dreamer 
Had time for a dream to come true 

Oh but time is a handful of sand to an old man 
While time is a warm place to stand for a young man 
To stand any man with a young girl 
Watching the tide roll in 

Time was I had a dream 
Certain and sure 
I could do anything 

A time so long ago 
Once I knew a place in my heart 
Where a dream would come true 

Oh time is a rock and roll band to a young man 
While time is a warm loving hand to an old man 
A strong loving shoulder to lean on 
And watch the children at play 

Time was I had a dream 
Time was I had a dream 
My dream was to stand here and sing 
Stand here and sing 

I have had mountains and mountains 
And mountains in the palm of my hand

It Just Don't Matter Anymore
© Mickey Newbury

My, it's been a long, long time 
Funny things I once treasured in my mind 
Be like the closing of the door 
It just don't matter anymore 

All the friends I thought I knew 
They dwindled down now to a precious few 
I feel like an aging LA boy 
It just don't matter anymore 

Taking it in 
I'm watching a willow freely 
Bend in the wind 
Turning so ever slowly 

I mean in the end 
honey don't no one know me 
Not the way that you do 

My it's been a long, long time 
Funny thing how you could 
always read my mind 

So turn out the light 
and close the door.. 
cause it just don't matter anymore 
It just don't matter anymore

Let Me Sleep
© Mickey Newbury

Walk me through the blindin' snow 
Take me where the sun won't go 
Shallow waters never flow 
Slowly to the sea 

Walk me through the dry hot sand 
Steal my cup but fill my hand 
Leave me where the valley can 
Rock my soul back to sleep 

Where the mighty winds lie still 
Ever silence on the hill 
Cradled by the mountain til 
The Father welcomes me 

And lay me down in the verdent green 
At the breast of the mother spring 
With a song that I can sing 
One that I can keep 
Let me sleep

Lie to Me Darlin'

I said you can lie to me darlin' 
But darlin' lie in my bed 
Tell me you love me 
When I know you love him instead 

And I will hang on 
Until I'm hanging on by one thread 
Yes you can lie to me darlin' 
But darlin' come lie in my bed 

I love the look in your eyes 
When I have found you 
While on the wall 
All the shadows are falling around you 

So let me pretend 
It won't end when I know it is bound to 
You can lie to me darlin' 
But darlin' lie in my bed 

Oooo oh how you move me 
Oooo when you come to me 

I will hang on 
Until I'm hanging on by a thread 
So you can lie to me darlin' 
But darlin' lie in my bed 

Yes you can lie to me darlin' 
But darlin' lie in my bed

"Here Again"                                      

MALE
Some are gonna say
That have I lost my way    
Trying to escape
From my fears again

FEMALE
Hope began to fade
The day you slipped away 
And I can hardly wait
To have you here again

CHORUS
Nothing in this world   
Can take you away from me
And I am yours
So faithfully

When the world has let me down  
And hope cannot be found  		 
I can hear the sound  
Of your voice again  

You taught me to believe    
Have faith when I can’t see    
I feel you next to me
I give my life again

CHORUS
Nothing in this world   
Can take you away from me
And I am yours
So faithfully

OUTRO
There will never be a day				
When my love for you will fade
And I will always say 
I love you

Here Again (Duet)

Master & Sync: Jukestone Publishing

“Chateau Marmont”

The scent of cheap cigars and colored Christmas lights   
Eating dark chocolates with cherries inside
I whisper in your ear, leaning on the bar
Come and take a ride with me down Sunset Boulevard

Where everyone gets high
Where everyone gets low

Oh oh, I know a place to go  
Chateau Marmont
Oh oh, to our garden bungalow
Chateau Marmont

Glowing white balconies illuminate the night
Like drizzled lemon lollypops of candied yellow light
Waking up at 3, in crushed velvet sheets
We can pretend to be whoever we please

Listen you will hear
History repeating
