Lyrics

I'm a man of peace,
At war with myself.
I tamed the beast,
On my knees I knelt.

There's some distraction,
There's something wrong.
I don't need the attention,
To carry on.

The streets are burning,
The World's gone mad.
My heart's still yearnin',
For what we once had.

We cry in frustration,
Scream if you need.
Black smoke I'm chokin',
I need to breath.

If we could make a difference,
Would anybody care.
Some people seem to lose their way,
But they're neither here or there.

We've forgotten who we are now,
We run like rabid dogs.
We struggle in misfortune,
And we're missing what we lost.

We're ordinary people,
Living ordinary lives.
What the hell brought us to this?
We've fallen for the same old lies.

Please someone tell me,
If I'm only dreaming?
Wake me from the nightmare,
That we're in.

If peace and love and harmony,
Is something worth fighting for.
Why are we on the verge,
Of another civil war?

Can anyone make some sense of this?
Please help us if you can.
Like millions I am lost,
And I don't understand.

I'm a man of peace,
At war with myself.
But it's still not as bad,
As what we're doing to ourselves.

At War With Myself

AT WAR WITH MYSELF

Original Song

Lyrics

You sang songs of freedom,
In times of change.
Remembering how,
They've been rearranged.

What does it matter,
You had no choice.
To open your mouth,
And let them hear your voice.

And now you're diggin',
In the dirt.
You've still got pride,
Even when it hurts.

Don't you cry,
It ain't so bad.
To lose the things,
You've never had.

You don't have money,
You ain't got fame.
While they try their best,
to blacken your name.

Play it simple,
Don't act too quick.
You drank their poison,
Till it made you sick.

Don't you cry,
It ain't so bad.
To lose the things,
You've never had.

You don't have money,
You ain't got fame.
While they try their best,
To blacken your name.

Play it simple,
Don't act too quick.
You drank their poison,
Till it made you sick.

You sang songs of freedom,
In times of change.
Remembering how,
They've been rearranged.

What does it matter,
You had no choice.
To open your mouth,
And let them hear your voice.

A one time junkie,
A night time king.
You took the bate,
And they made you sing.

DONT YOU CRY

Vietnam veteran song about loss, grief, and renewal of hope. Country singer songwriter style with strong emotional vocals.

Man in the Corner

MAN IN THE CORNER

Woke up just this mornin’ didn’t know the time, the day, or the year
The only friend I have in this whole world is my dog Blue layin’ here
When I climbed up this mountain I was tryin’ to escape from fools gone mad
I wonder if they’re still alive or have they ruined the only world they had

	Me and Blue just kickin’ back not hatin’ anyone
	We’ll worry about tomorrow when today is done
	Me and Blue just kickin’ back and breathin’ mountain air
	Not carin’ about the world that lives down there

Thank you Lord for lettin’ me open my eyes and live another day
I know you’ve got the power if you set your mind to take it all away
Come on Blue it’s time we checked those traps up on Willow Creek
And if that dang old goat don’t milk we’ll be drinkin’ water another week

	Me and Blue just kickin’ back not hatin’ anyone
	We’ll worry about tomorrow when today is done
	Me and Blue just kickin’ back and breathin’ mountain air
	Not carin’ about the world that lives down there

With big sad eyes Blue looks up at me and I know what’s on his mind
He’s a wonderin’ if we’ll ever climb back down and leave this way of life behind
Well listen here you ugly dog what ever makes you think I’d leave these woods
Cause I’ve been down there and I wouldn’t trade you for a million dollars if I could

	Me and Blue just kickin’ back not hatin’ anyone
	We’ll worry about tomorrow when today is done
	Me and Blue just kickin’ back and breathin’ mountain air
	Not carin’ about the world that lives down there

	Me and Blue just kickin’ back not hatin’ anyone
	We’ll worry about tomorrow when today is done
	Me and Blue just kickin’ back and breathin’ mountain air
	Not carin’ about the world that lives down there
	Not carin’ about the world that lives down there


Kickin' Back With Blue (MIX)

[Verse]
It's been just over a year,
but you still feel, so near..
and at night I call out your name,
to the evening breeze
but when I try to speak
I can't breathe
oh.. I can't breathe..

[Verse]
Now the air's heavy in the evening light,
and Sky's turnin gray, like it's gonna, cry all night..

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's gotta.. rain,
to wash away the pain,
Maybe it's Nature’s way of sayin',
it's time to start.. again, again
When life feels like a ball and chain,
Remember, sometimes it's gotta rain.
oh oh oh.. it's gotta rain..

[Verse 2]
The clock on the wall's movin slow
and I 'm lost where the sun never goes.
Silent screams whisper through cracks in the night,
and I'm still searching for a ray of light

[Chorus]
But Sometimes it's gotta...rain,
to wash away the pain,
Maybe it's Nature’s way of sayin',
it's time to start... again,
When life feels like a ball and chain,
Remember, sometimes it's gotta rain.
oh oh oh.. it's gotta rain..

[Bridge]
The storm left us rivers of sorrow,
and a lifetime of broken.. tomorrows

[Outro]
Ain't no rainbow without a storm,
but maybe through the rain..
a new day is born.
But I know.. Sometimes it’s gotta rain
oh oh oh.. it’s gotta rain
it’s gotta... rain

Rain (feat., SD)

Pickin’ Dogs
Song Lyrics by: Michael Sean Perry

{c: Verse 1:}
Let me tell y’all about the first time that I saw her
Down by the feed store after church
I never will forget the first time we met
For it is a favorite memory of mine

{c: Verse 2:}
She rode by my side through the Carolinas
All the way down the A1A
Never did a moment of whinin’
When we got back home I knew that she would stay

{c: Bridge}
For as long as I’m alive
Don’t think that ain’t will find
A better friend for me than her

{c: Chorus}
If I had the same luck with women
As I do Pickin’ Dogs
I’d never have my heart broke again
For the rest of my life there by my side
Would be my love and my best friend
If I had the same luck with women
As I do Pickin’ Dogs…. 

{c: Verse 3:}
I’ve know love more often than most men
And Had my heart broke as many times
There’s a door to my heart that can’t be open
But sad ole songs still can make me cry

{c: Verse 4:}
All the men at the barbershop will be sure to tell you
A good dog is a rare thing to find
Get ‘em young, straight from their momma
Treat ‘em good and they’ll be your friend for life


{c: Bridge}
[F]For as long as I’m alive
Don’t [Fm]think that ain’t will find
[C/G]A better friend for [B]me than [Am]her

{c: Chorus}
[F]If I had the same luck with women
As I [G]do Pickin’ Dogs
I’d [C]never have [B]my heart broke [Am]again[G] [F]
For the [Dm]rest of my life [G]there by my side
Would [C/G]be my love [B]and my [Am]best friend
[F]If I had the same luck with women
As I [Fm]do Pickin’ Dogs…
