If I were in your shoes right now love
Would I feel out a better way
Would I deny those Ghost that
Return to haunt each day

And now the ghost are raging
They come to you at night
All the worries from the daytime
Appear and hold on tight

Praying for a new beginning
Hope is all you're asking for
Searching for a combination
To open up that door

Chorus

Can't help but wonder why babe
Life's been so hard on you
No one seems to understand it
What you've been going through

Reaching for a new tomorrow
Awake into a brand new day
Searching for a star to follow
To guide you on your way...Well

I'm gonna pick up all this anger
And throw it all away
Or write it down on paper
I will, I will find a way

You're a Battle Hardened Soldier
Fighting Crooks & Thieves of Time
Praying for a cease fire
And leave this all behind

If I were in your shoes right now love
Would I feel out a better way
Find a better way

If I Were In Your Shoes

I'm sitting in the front yard, the winter's gone
A little girl walks past me, with a Mask on

A cloud of sadness rolls in, and fills the air
Is she scared, is she ok, it feels unfair

All these conflicting emotions, since it began
Just when it felt like it was gone 
It's coming back again

Misinformation flooded, the airways then
They said a Mask won't help you, it's not your friend
But then the truth appear and wear one with pride
A fine will come your way if, you don't abide

Chorus

I just want to travel, I'm tired of fighting this battle
It feels like days, months, & years
I want to see friends and family, escape this lockdown reality
I'm starting to break instead of bend, is it ever gonna end
Feel it's coming back again

I'm sitting in the front yard, the winter's gone
A little girl walks past me, with a Mask on

It's Coming Back Again

These Walls 

Outside these walls, life flashes by
Everyone's in a hurry, stress runs awry
Inside these walls, I'm in the zone
The outside world is tuned out, when I'm alone
I love my home

Outside these walls, headlines are made
The stories full of darkness, a life has paid
Inside these walls, I set the tone
Silence is all the rage when, I'm all alone
I love my home

Outside these walls, good people share
The best life has to offer, anywhere
Inside these walls, I'm not well known
Sometimes I'm missing out when, I'm all alone
But I love my home

These Walls

What if I'm not the man I wanted to be
Would you hold it against me
What if it feels like we're falling behind
Prices rising squeezing every single dime

Let the Angels show you the way
Don't put it off until another day
It's time to get it right, stop wasting your time
Just pay attention, to every little sign, open up your mind, you're gonna be just fine

I feel the darkness surrounding me
All the roads filled with uncertainty
Buckle up Babe we're in for a ride
Don't know what waits for us on the other side

Chorus

I'm on an altar made of sand
Locked in an orbit without a plan
The Ghost I run with is ruling me
I'm not the man that I wanted to be

Chorus

You're gonna be, gonna be
You're gonna be, just fine

Gonna Be Just Fine

I get so tired of being far away
So far away from you
I get so tired of being frar away
So far away from you

I get up in the morning
Grind out another day
Just wishing that you were here with me
And not 50 towns away

Chorus

You make another phone call
Closness surrounds my ear
The whole world becomes a little brighter
Until the dial tone appears.

Chorus

We're gonna take a journey
Somewhere we've never been before
Alone in our own world
No desire for anything more
Feel it all around you
The silence now has found you
The closeness will surround you
Can't you feel it all around you

Chorus * 2

So far away from you
So far away from you
So far away
From you

So Far Away

Blood Clot Blues  114

Another day, a new set of lies, rubber stamped from clowns way up high
New jabs coming, coming down the line, now everyone, will be just fine

Your in good hands, what don't you understand 
Big Pharma's got your back, such a master plan
Roll up your sleeve, there's nothing left to lose 
You'll climb the charts of the blood clot blues

But just when you think it's over
Take another look over your shoulder
The blind spot is where the truth hides
Nowhere to be found

There's just one way, so don't question what we say
We know what's best for you
Rip up the rules, they're only followed by the fools
You’re never gonna find your way

Chorus

Brianna was in the early trials
Signed a contract and had it filed
Young and perfect health all around
Then her life turned upside down

So just when you think it’s over, now everyone thinks it’s over
Yeah just when you think it’s over
Brianna’s on her own, they’re all on their own
The victims are alone, Now

Blood Clot Blues

Forever and a Day

Never Be Alone Again

Down the Road

Pull the Trigger on It

Sometimes You Just Get Used

Can Never Make You Mine

I Will Be There For You

Become Undone

I Wish I was a Boomer Baby

I Wish I Was A Boomer Baby

Step in line, look up here, sprinkle in another round of fear
Toss the main issues out the door, divide and conquer, this is war

A new man in the White House now, the Dems are claiming something's fowl
They're pointing fingers and denying fault, shafted Bernie and Trump's the result
Shafted Bernie and Trump's, the result

Where do we go from here, outside this ring of fear
It's up to you to change the game, I promise you'll never be the same
No you'll never be the same

People wanted something new, not the same old dodge and screw
Scrape a living at the five and dime, fill your pockets leaving us behind

Signing deals to help your friends, Super PACs winning in the end
It's just business uttered without shame, like you're forgiven, without blame
You're not forgiven, you're the blame

Chorus

As the media follows, Twitter feeds
You've been wrecking things behind the scenes
Hard fought victories crushed without out a thought
Shows that nothing's changed, the Swamp still looks the same
The Deep States still in full control, so can you tell me

Chorus * 2

Where do We go from Here

Rising up in this clear blue sky
My head is buzzing a familiar sound
Blood is singing in between its beats
I’m heading east to my hometown

I left the city of traffic and egos
It’s time to slow this old pace down
So kick your feet back, enjoy the ride
I’m heading east to my hometown

All the faces are familiar now
I know their stories and all their backgrounds
So come with me, and I’ll show you around
Chatting it up, in my hometown

The rivers calm and calling my name
Kill the motor, we’ll drift on down
Passing landmarks of days gone by
Reminiscing in my hometown

Chorus

The winds of change have swept this town
There’s fragile signs blowing around
You’ve got to live your life for today
What ever time throws your way

Well its time, I'm ready to return
A final glimpse, and I’m westward bound
The river beats, all through these veins
It sings the song of my hometown

My hometown
My hometown
This is your hometown yeah

Inspiration was Steve Forbert's "January 23-30, 1978"

My Hometown

I got up early, today I'm feeling mighty blessed
It's coming in the mail, my long awaited OAS
I just can't wait, I'm taking Trixie on a date
She's down the hall, from me

I finished up early, as proud as I could be
I knew I still had it, no blue pills for me
Then I saw her face, looking somewhat disgraced
Staring back, at me

Well they say these are the golden years
Enjoy whatever comes your way
But could you drive me to the dollar store
I can't be late, for senior's day

I'm rushing past Jesus, heading through the bathroom door
Staring at the mirror, forgetting what I came her for
Happens all the time, no longer in my prime
So they say, about me

Forget about that, I'm invited down the hall
Trixie scored a meal at the bingo near the shopping mall
Now I'm running late, I can't find my upper plate
No free meal, for me

Chorus

Some people, feel we are, just in the way
But just remember, you'll also, be here someday

Well I'm coughing up smoke and laughing at everything
Trixie scored pot at the reservation drive-thru thing
Now I own a bong, and I eating all day long
So they say, about me

Forget about that there's a party down the hall
One more puff and then I'll be joining ya'll
Then I fell asleep and it was purty deep
No party, for me

Chorus
