Long Black Veil - Lefty Frizzell Cover in the style of Johnny Cash

someday you'll leave home
and not know where you're from
just might forget all that you've learned
its not what you earn that matters

and that day you'll find out
a light cant be put out
most of things are inside your head
theyll be gone when your dead so relax

but theres a slope that one might fall
that could be missed if only saw
but the world is filled with ominous fog
dont trip on the log while your searchin

and when you love your own
it feels just like your sewn
words that now just dont mean a thing
i want you to sing on your own
a song you will learn when your grown
and you will be just fine

Youll Leave Home

Howdy! One of my favorite songs right here.

Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren't so bold

And everyone and friends and family
Sayin' "hey go get a job
Why do you only do that only
Why are you so odd?

"And we don't really like what you do
We don't think anyone ever will
We think you have a problem
And this problem's made you ill"

The artist walks among the flowers
he appreciates the sun
he does this all his waking hours
but is it really so wrong

But the artist walks alone
someone says behind his back
"He's got gall to call himself that
He doesn't even know where he's at"

And they sit in front of tvs
Sayin' "hey isn't this fun"
And they laugh at the artist
Saying "he doesn't know how to have fun"

Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growin' old

Story Of An Artist - Daniel Johnston cover

theres nothing like a warm cup of coffee
when its raining cats and dogs
hell it feels like its pouring a whole zoo out here
one more sip and ill join the pool

swimmin in my head with all these animals
what did you say? i wasnt listening
i was going on off on some crazy train of thought
i dont even know how to explain

its gonna take some time
cause im not always right here with you
when your talking to me

my mind does sway
and i dont even know what happens
could you repeat that one more time

and ill pay attention
as best as i can
ill go to war with my attention span
but wait a minute
what the hell were we talking about
i drifted again, im so sorry

theres nothing like a warm cup of coffee babe
just sit down with me and the rain
we dont have to say nearly anything
to hear each other sing

Take Some Time

there is a knife, to the throat
of the only thing that i have left to love
i must look confused
seems there is a smile on her face
but the heart has no eyes
it dont need to see to feel whats through the key hole
behind the door
my chest wont rest cant store it in a drawer
the brain knows theres rain
gotta rearrange the data once again
only to find
nothings in line

dirt and water

"thirsty rocks" - song sketch

i stumbled over shoes and clothes to find some light more than once today
'cause ive been haunted the sight of blood, a careful cub, and complicated love
and the trail that led me here was full of fear but i traversed it and it led me home
but this room, the cacoon, the den that i am in is a dangerous womb

but ive stumbled over ghosts before tonight
ive been haunted by my feet, my whole life

put me in a cave, i cant behave, i got no chill to stop my will from breaking down
so im just floating on the wind like baby spiders looking for a place to land
but the ground is not as sound as i thought it was, ill just stay up and float around
and the wind it feels so good but i need food if im to live among these wild men 
and the trail that led me here was full of fear but i traversed it and it led me home
but this room, the cacoon, the den that i am in is a dangerous womb

this aint no vacation feeling
this is my getaway

Dangerous Womb - Song Sketch

there will always be some wave or wind
that will sweep me off my feet again
and i dont even have to move at all
to get tangled in all its twisted ways
i got two bugs in a jar to show you...

too petrified to open the lid
but you cant see all of it when somethings hid
and when a door is not a door, you just store more

and this burden, or so ive called it, is a stone cold wall
perfect for smashing jars if you trust in all

two bugs from a jar turned to broken glass
will find a home among the blades of grass

Trustbugs
