I want to feel alive
I want to feel alive
I want to feel alive
Don’t you too?

‘Cause what’s shaken you?
What’s shaken you up?
What’s shaken you up
Is shaking me too

When they get you solo
When you get so low
When you get solo
What do you do?

Down down down down, let’s go
Down down down down, let’s go
Kaboom 
Down down down down 
My DemonS go

I want to feel alive
I want to feel alive
I want to feel alive
Don’t you too
Now, don’t you too

Alive

If you have the gift of life, don’t burn today
If there is still blue sky, fly away
But you’ve got to work for another day

So why don’t you leave all that alone? 
Cowboy one day it won’t let you find home

The solid citizens they all agree
That something here ain’t right
This young life today
Won’t last to midnight

if you have the gift of life, don’t burn today
You’ve got to work for another day

Always keep a close eye in the mirror
It’s looking like is death is creeping near

So if you have the gift of life, don’t burn today
You’ve got to work for another day

Don’t let one day define you
Or let this stuff get in the way

Or one day, somebody will find you
Cold to the touch on a sunny day

If you have the gift of life don’t burn today
You gotta work for another day

Gift Of Life

When you’re though at the Round-Up grounds 
Head to Electric Sundown

And you grab a Pendleton and Coke
With a big ice ball
Well you better grin because you’re standing tall
Taller than the tallest tress
…….. well that’s before you hit your knees

I make the best Disqualifier around

When I moved to town they said what the luck?
City boy in Pendleton with puke down his truck
Ha ha ha he he he
Let’s bring it on down
And make some Cowboys sing

I make the best disqualifier around

Disqualifier

Ione is a quick town for a drifter 
If you want safe ground, try Cross Hill in Hepper

But up there to your right hand
You’ll notice the cracks in the dam
Will the dirt that’s under my feet
Become mud in the streets
…… and Ione just a quick town for a drifter

Fire cooked The Wagon Wheel
(grandpas old bar)
Now will a flood make it a field
Will the rodeo be sent
To where the mill was before things went
…….. and Ione is just a quick town for a drifter

What if the water runs
And grabs a few out a Lexington
……. then Ione then Ione then Ione Ione 

So does the next a storm hit the town
With every stick around
Tiil the water in the creek
Wakes up and starts to freak
……. then Ione is just a quick town for a drifter

If the water runs
And grabs a few out of Lexington
What If the water runs the last of Lexington through Ione through Ione Ione Ione Ione

Ione

It’s the cowboy way 
They got to roam 
and cut through the desert on their way home
Danger is always around
A den of snakes in every town

Ain’t that life?

California I was on my way
Tell her lonely sister stopped to stay
Just like that, things beat up
A town full of Cowboys all Eyez on one love

Ain’t that life?

All the smoke and the liquor
To help heal quicker
Is gone
All this smoke and this liquor
To help heal quicker
Is gone

It’s the cowboy Way
She had to roam
And cut through the desert on her way home
Danger is always around
A den of snakes and every town

Ain’t that life

All the smoke and the liquor
To help heal quicker
Is gone
All this smoke and this liquor
To help heal quicker
Is gone

California I was on my way……

Cowboy Way

I Give Up

This is an old school sounding song recorded with my Grandpas guitar and tape echo recorder.

Lyrics:

Drive On

You could fit so much more in the trunk
If your life wasn’t so full of junk
Limit that stuff to a bottom drawer
Pull some before you cram in more…….Drive On

Yell and scream all day
Loose your voice
Find your way…….Drive On 

Brake into the corners
Then give it some gas
Fly by the memories
Before they pass
Drive on on…….Drive On

You say you’ll take the bullet
Its faster than the train
Well I’ll take neither
I’d rather go insane…….Drive On 

Keep on kicking with those feet
I'm safe here in the passengers seat
………Drive On  

western folk, cowboy folk


Drive On

This is a barren little number featuring my friend William Joersz on the Stand-Up Bass. 

Lyrics:

Lonely never sets sail without me
Sad times I walked out your door
And wandered back in line

So I try a few things
But nothing comforts me

Digging a hole 
The most devoted friend 
I’ve come to know 

So I keep trying more things
But nothing can comfort me

That hideaway
From the storm
Never comes to be 




A Desert Island Song

This song is about the struggles inside one criminals mind.

Lyrics:

I'm a criminal who can't be free
I put things in my pocket when you don't see
Away 
Away
Away they go 
For 2 cents on the dollar
They soon will be sold

One day I'll be a frail old man
Still learning my right from wrong
A confused 
Frail old man
Hiding from fire in the trees

To be free it's understood
Resist temptation when times are good

One day I'll be a frail old man
Still learning my right from wrong
A confused 
Frail old man
Hiding from fire in the trees

I'm a criminal who can't be free
I put things in my pocket when you don't see

One day I'll be a frail old man
Still learning my right from wrong
A confused 
Frail old man
Hiding from fire in the trees

Compassion for the Thief

The name describes it all. From moment of conception till end of the recording was under 3 minutes.
