A new trends goin' round town
Neighbor just barely broke ground
A few bricks a few stones
Started buildin' a tiny home 
I took one look gave a groan
Not enough meat on the bone 

Some things need more
Summer rains to pour like
Castles need stones
Buffalos room to roam
Yeah more meat on the bone

Meat on the bone

Some things in life are free
Fancy dreams easy to see
No charge for imagination
The beginning 
of my own creation
Paint a picture in your mind
Tack it on the wall set your sails
Time to find
My hopes and dreams I see
it's on me my destiny

My destiny

Shortly after learnin' to walk
And barely able to walk 
Dad had me hopin' and wishin' 
He'd say let's roll let's go fishin'
Memories of my dad are never far
And fishin' with him a cherished memoir
When I visit those salty shores
I look up to heaven's door
And cast my line for daddy once more

Fishin' with daddy

It's Friday time to  unwind 
Friends startin' to call
That's a good sign 
Ready to hear some tunes
This day 
couldn't come too soon

Time to gather round huddle up
Get back in touch
Round 'em up no time to hide
This posse is ready to ride

Huddle up

I remember the good ol' days
Just a kid lookin' to play
Learnin' to do what we're told
Down this long long road
Friend's help showin' where we're goin'

I remember those days of old
The storms of life and ones of gold
My old clock radio liftin' my spirits
The joy just to hear it
Learnin' to live where to go
Down this long long road

Hold on oh hold on
I have family, friends and heroes
On my mind
As these years roll by
They're harder to find
Bugle cry tells us
They've been called home
Laid to rest
Name chiseled in stone
More and more
With each passing dawn
There's another good one gone

Hold on

Daddy said buckle up and do right
Find something you enjoy
One day do it employed
Learn and listen
Have some ambition

It's not what you say but what you do
Not who you know but how you pursue
Eye on the prize
Just believe and achieve
Have a dream put it on paper
Let the big dogs run 
Dream maker

Dream maker

I think of you before dawn
In my dreams 
Like you’ve never been gone
Reminded every day
I let you slip away

I need a genie in a bottle just one time
To bring you back and make you mine
My heart says every day
You're the one that got away

One that got away

This is the story about my Grand Banks 36 trawler and the genesis of its name.

Was the month of June on a salty marsh
With my kayak ride and tent set for the tide
Livin' by the sea on weekend friends
Catchin' my dinner grilled with fire
Knew life wasn't risin' that much higher
[chorus]
Let's call it Salty June
Crispy by Sunday sleepin' under the moon
Sunscreen piled thick as shellac
Those days were golden
In my dreams I'm always goin' back
[verse]
It was Rockport Texas I built my rig
Lime green kayak with trollin' motor
Lookin for a beach 'fore the sun got much lower
By the time the stars began to shine
Sand trout and croaker were tastin' fine
[chorus]
Let's call it Salty June
Crispy by Sunday sleepin' under the moon
Sunscreen piled thick as shellac
Those days were golden
In my dreams I'm always goin' back
[verse]
So I traded my tent for a yacht trawler
A 36 Grand Banks classic
With a Ford Lehman motor had me feelin' rich
That straight six diesel 
Made my addiction a bit more feasible
[chorus]
So I named her Salty June
Crispy by Sunday sleepin' under the moon
Sunscreen not piled so thick as shellac
Those days were golden
In my dreams
I'm always goin' back

Salty June

Here in the U. S. of A. we believe in being free
Many soldiers gave their soul to make it be
Open arms bring those with different ways
Some don't believe in peace and liberty
Just in what they have to say

Freedom, hoooooo get you some
It's all about freedom
That's number one

The welcome sign is tattered and torn
Struggles are real wherever we're born
Some search for freedom again and again
We have it in spades no shackles and chains
We wish you well
No thank you, not playing that game again

Freedom, hoooooo get you some
It's all about freedom
That's number one

Abe Lincoln and Martin Luther King
Believed in being free
Nothing's changed we still see that dream

Freedom, hooooo get you some
It's all about freedom
That's number one

No shackles no chains
No thank you not playing that game again
Freedom

Freedom Number 1

Some speak like a barge horn on de river
Others lay it  down like de tinkle of silver
Some rattle dem off with all the answers
Others send ‘em out like solid gold dancers

There’s a time to stand and holler
A time to cut de fun make dat dollar
A time to lean over and find that figure
I'm a believer in the soft candle flicker
Been waitin' all day baby to hear you whisper    

Some like soft words long nights hard lovin’ sweet nothins
Oh sweetie talk me through it
I need some instructions

There’s a time for dis a place for dat
A time for work a time to laugh
A time to ship it a time for your lips
A time for you to be my fix

There’s a time to stand and holler
A time to cut de fun make dat dollar
A time to lean over and find dat figure
I'm a believer in de soft candle flicker
Been waitin' all day baby to hear you whisper

Whisper

I enjoy  building furniture and writing lyrics/comics.
