ONE GOOD WOMAN BLUES

Come hell or highwater no one can really tell
The war of good and evil where many martyrs fell
I'm caught somewhere between don't know which way to turn
Put your hand in the blue flame your soul will surely burn
So I'm searching 
not sure what I'm looking for I'll find
Gonna find me one good woman 
To make this here bad man tow the line

I rambled and I gambled I drank whiskey I drank gin
Spent the night at the county jail buried deep in sin
I hung around frank company when I should have stayed away
Sang rock n roll and the blues in the taverns for no pay 

That's why I'm searchin'
Not sure what I'm looking for I'll find 
All I need is one good woman
To make this here bad man tow the line

Now I've had my share of women 
Not saying they weren't good
Had some Jezebel's who were misunderstood
Every time I got to thinking when the snake began to hiss
There has to be something better instead of a poison kiss
That's why I'm searchin' 
Not sure what I'm looking for I'll find
Gonna find me one good woman 
To make this here bad man tow the line

The vacant empty buildings
Abandoned never fell
The Ghost town winds are a howlin'
There's no water in the well
I've made some bad mistakes 
I nearly wound up dead
All I need is a warm body 
A woman next to me in bed

That's why I'm searchin' 
Not sure what I'm looking for I'll find
Gonna find me one good woman
To make this here badman tow the line
All i need is One Good woman
Blues

THE VULTURE

LONG ROAD BACK TO CALIFORNY

Its a long road back to Californy
I'm looking for something what its I don't really know
One time I thought I'd found salvation
When I made it I arrived to still find 
I had a long way to go

There's always been a cloud of trouble
Hangin' round me everywhere I go
from the East to the West the North and the South
It's been one tough road to hoe
It's A long road back to Californy
When I make it I'll arrive to still find 
I got a a long way to go

Well there's not much left to savor
The women in my life I've loved they always let me down
And now I'm growing older
Pickins' are gettin' mighty slim 
No good women left to be found

I've been dead and I've been brought back to life
Take for granted not a single thing
Stared down the soul of cold hard eyes
The other side of heartache it brings 

It's A long road back to Californy
When I make it I'll arrive to still find 
I got a a long way to go
I see them lights of San Fernando Valley
When I make it I'll arrive to still find I've got a long way to go
A long way to go.....................A long way to go

Long road back to Californy

LOST IN THE SHUFFLE
Oh baby you've got many a suitor
And yes we go out from time to time
The more I'm away from you 
You seem that much more cuter
In your deck of cards 
I don't wanna get Lost in the shuffle

You deal em and you flip em'
Never revealing your plan
Life's a game to you baby I understand
I'm a gamblin' man and your a woman that's born to hustle
In your deck of cards I don't wanna get lost in the shuffle

Lost in the shuffle oh baby lets double down
Lost in the shuffle there's a brand new man in town

Don't sacrifice this king for any of those other Jacks
You git a good thing woman it keeps me coming back
Don't wanna play know dead mans hand 
Left holding aces backed with eights
In your deck of cards I don't wanna get lost in the shuffle

Lost in the shuffle oh baby lets double down
Lost in the shuffle there's a brand new man in town

Don't mind your sleight of hand 
Or the kind of game you play
You mark your cards put em' in your box and make em' pay
You can tear up hearts and throw all jokers away
In your deck of cards I don't wanna get lost in the shuffle
In your deck of cards I don't wanna get lost in the shuffle

STORMS OF TROUBLE

Ive got storms of trouble on my mind
The pinwheel in my heart i cant unwind
It keeps on turning
My spirits slowly burning
I can't break free though I'm tryin'

Storms of trouble in a solemn church bell's toll
An old time hymn whispering in my soul
High water risin' on sidewalks of misfortune
The road's grown tired and weary 

I gotta find my way back
To a place I was before 
To ease my worried mind
And carry round these heavy burden's no more
Storms of trouble on my mind

I've got storms of trouble on my mind
A lost redemption road I'm a tryin' to find
Now I'm back on the streets
All I have are the close upon my back
The mountain top is high 
Still I'm climbing tryin' to leave it all behind
Storms of trouble on my mind

The Wheel Rolls Along

- Free Speech Blues

from the new album 
Song of Our Time-words music written by Michael Ubaldini




SONG OF OUR TIME 
there is a sound ,ringing in the air
I follow the call,the cold evening glare
voices in the wind 
are singing in the chimes
the song of our time

Around the corner bend,
people brace for war
relationships wont mend,
with other foreign shores
There's nothing I can do 
cept' sing a song for you
the song of our time

I've been told to hate people from faraway lands
When up close to me we all seem to look the same
the world is on the edge of something getting out of hand
we're only parts and pieces of an age old game 

Missle's are lined up,atomic energy
not pointed at kings ,only you and me 
it's coming down the line ,
where the highways wind 
The song of our time

All the young soldiers lay dying in the fields
crying for their mothers in the night 
pleading to be saved ,begging to be healed 
dusk has turned to dawn and I'm still searchin' for the light

So baby take my hand ,come walk with me 
along the shady grove ,we'll watch the ravens flee,
the music you will hear ,In valleys far and near 
The song of our time 
The final drum roll- of the last scroll 
The song of our time

-Song Of Our Time

The Folk and Rock n Roll singer the media and fans call-'The Rock n Roll Poet' - is an Outlaw singer songwriter .A voice of the forgotten regular people who've  been  kicked around by life.
Weather songs of society, protest ,social struggle ,love ,hard luck , satire or rebellion
He’s a poet & a man with a message
He overcame death more than once –being told he’d never play music or walk again - even collapsing and dying right on stage only to rise up and survive. He has a perspective other songwriters don’t have,follows no one & goes where the winds takes him.
