Lyrics:

How did it end this way?
So much pain on display.

So needless this distress, 
Despair and emptiness.

This cannot sustain, 
Whoever is to blame,
This is the end of the game.

How did it end this way? 
So much pain on display.

So needless this distress, 
Despair and emptiness.

This cannot sustain, 
Whoever is to blame,
This is the end of the game.

Got to rid my mind, 
Leave it all behind.

From darkness to light, 
Got to rid my mind, 
Darkness to light...

Lyrics:

Blue on blue
As the falling leaves flew 
What a terrible thing to leave you.   
What a terrible truth to need you. 

Oh...  What I could I do? 
Should’ve kissed you by that window in your bedroom

As the pink light faded into the midnight blue
Guess it all came crashing down..  I needed you
Should’ve told you that I loved you
that I didn’t care who knew.. 
Blue on Blue..

It’s like we’re on two trains in the opposite way
Both looking in the same direction 
Holding onto this crazy connection 

Oh..    All I know
This feeling’s getting stronger
And I want you more 

Baby hold on to this feeling, I feel it too
Don’t care how long it takes, I’ll wait for you
Should have held onto you longer
When you held me in your arms
Blue on Blue

Blue on Blue

Blue On Blue

A reason to believe that it's alright

Sometimes I lose my mind
When I’m stuck in my own little world 
Like I’ve had enough of life 
I haven’t given you half my world 

Dreams of you that keep on calling 
A reason to find out just why
A reason to try
You keep on calling 
Like I’ve got nothing to hide 
My eyes on your side 

Dreams of you that keep on calling 
A reason to believe that it’s alright 
How long can I see it right?

A reason to believe that it's alright

I moved the capo up a couple of semi-tones, changed the tempo slightly and hopefully made it a little more upbeat. It's a great song and one that I enjoy playing. I love the downward movement between the E7th to the F. There is a subtle shift on the 2nd string which makes the E7 into an E flat 6th, on its way to the F chord.

Elizabeth "LIbba" Cotten was a self-taught, left handed guitar player who learned using a right handed guitar thus she played it, strung as standard right handed guitar, upside down. She wrote this when she was 11 years old but was only given credit for writing this tune decades later. According to records, "Freight Train" first made its way to England by way of Peggy Seeger (half sister of Pete Seeger), who had heard it from her onetime nanny, Libba, when she was young. “Freight Train” was then picked up by several singers and groups, including The Quarrymen: a skiffle band which would later become the Beatles.

BTW: I released this song about 3 months ago and realized how terrible the drum sample was so I switched to manual percussion.  It's really a plastic baby rattle but it seems to sound fine.

Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotten
---------------------------------------------
[INTRO]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won’t know where I’ve gone.

Freight train, freight train, goin’ round the bend
Freight train, freight train, comin’ back again
One of these days turn that train around
And go back to my home town.

One more place I’d like to be
One more place I’d like to see
To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb
When I ride old Number Nine.

[SOLO]

When I die, Lord, bury me deep
Down at the end of Chestnut Street
Where I can hear old Number Nine
As she comes [on] down the line.

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won’t know where I’ve gone.

[OUTRO]
So they won't know where I've go-one.

Freight Train (Elizabeth Cotten cover)

Dont' Give Up

Fly On

Some tunes you have to work at.  This one came quickly, but I still wanted it to steep a little, especially the middle section.  The title came quickly as well as I thought about my son-in-law's work as a truck driver.  When he is at home, he's home as a loving and devoted family man.  On the road, however, it's all "white lines and deadlines".  For a revealing look into the trucker's "white lines and deadlines", my videographer brother assembled a great video using a shorter version of this track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4xLPK3TUBA&list=LLj-OlGOzJtweD8nMGsz7Vsg&index=4&t=0s

White Lines And Deadlines

Track 10 from the album "B Sides, Alternates and Other Songs" ......... a collection of 10 songs written or recorded during the making of my "For the Stars" album in 2019 but didn't make the album.......releasing one song monthly thru October 2020!

"You Don't Know Me" is another true B Side. It was written long before I statred the "For the Stars" album and I recorded it with the intentions of having it on the album. But my wife vetoed it (she's my "test" audience!) in favor of another song and I felt 10 songs were enough for this album. So here it is now!

You Don't Know Me

Bored of being stuck in bed ill and weak (nothing bad), I plugged my tele and keyboard straight into my iPad. The bass idea is borrowed. Built the rest around it.

Lyrics  (more sparse than usual -- both verses have 7 words each)
 
Verse 1
Tuesday night
we were a train wreck

Refrain
All this time
we were taking the same path
through time
just trying to make it last

Verse 2
Twenty-one
you were hiding in makeup

Refrain
All this time
we were taking the same path
through time
just trying to make it last

Just trying to make it last

All this time
we were taking the same path
through time
just trying to make it last

One more time...

Tuesday night

In a world without empathy, evil thrives. Music can help to encourage more empathy.
