Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

All I Have To Do Is Dream

I'll grow a beard like Dostoevsky 
Send you Notes From The Underground
I cannot call 'cause you won't let me
Well I guess I'm better off unfound 

I will drink my woes like Hemingway 
Endure the Torrents of Spring
You never loved me anyway
And I guess that's the reason that I sing

I'll be a hermit like Thomas Pynchon
Never come out of my hole
Live below the Mason/Dixon
And somewhere above the South Pole

Then I'll question God with Hesse
'Cause I don't wanna be a sheep
Yeah the Steppenwolf got messy
Well I was a harvest for him to reap

And I've had three great loves like Steinbeck
Each one of them a unique Pearl
They all amounted to a car wreck
'Cause I'm always in love with another girl

Now I vomit words by Shakespeare
Such as "All The World's A Stage"
Of which I'm hiding in the rear
A supernumerary of this age

I'm as timid as Heller's chappy 
And my humor's often blue
I don't work well when I'm happy
I'm a moody Catch-22

Wish I could live a life like Mark Twain
Sit and ponder "What is Man?"
Make some jokes outta all of my pain
But I don't understand who I am

Hell I'd settle for Charlie Dickens
And let down Great Expectations 
'Cause the good in me is slim pickins'
I write ballads of my indignations 

In the end I'm just like Emily
In a solitary home
And Behind Me Dips Eternity 
I'm Educated and Alone

I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone
I'm Educated and Alone

Educated & Alone

They made up their minds and they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever knowing the way

They drank up the wine and they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down, they started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home, but they really don't care
They wanted the highway, they're happier there today, today

Their children woke up and they couldn't find 'em
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em (leaving it all behind)
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home, but they really don't care
They wanted the highway, they're happier there today, today

Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home, but they really don't care
They wanted the highway, they're happier there today, today


The Way

My girl, my girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, tell me where will ya go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband, was a railroad man
Bout a mile and a half from here
His head was found in a driving gear
But his body ain't never been found

My girl, my girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through



Where Did You Sleep Last Night (In the Pines)

"True Love Will Find You In The End" by Daniel Johnston

True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don’t be sad, I know you will,
But don’t give up until
True love finds you in the end.

This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking will it find you
‘Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light?
Don't be sad I know you will
And don’t give up until
True love finds you in the end.

True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don’t be sad, I know you will,
And don’t give up until
True love finds you in the end.

Don’t give up until
True love finds you in the end.

True Love Will Find You In The End

The Bug Bombs Go Off At Dawn (March of the Ants)

Cover of an old country, blues and jazz traditional song. Based off of the version performed by Ramblin' Jack Elliot

It was down in Old Joe's barroom,
On the corner by the square,
The usual crowd was assembled
And big Joe McKinney was there.

He was standing at my shoulder.
His eyes were bloodshot red;
He turned to the crowd around him,
These are the very words he said:

"I went down to the St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there,
She was laid out on a cold white table,
So cold, so white, so fair."

Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
She'll never find a sweet man like me.

Oh, when I die, bury me
In my high top Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
God'll know I died standin' pat.

I want six crap shooters for pall bearers.
A chorus girl to sing me a song.
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon.
Raise Hell as I roll along.

Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
She'll never find a sweet man like me.

Roll out your rubber tired carriage,
Roll out your old time hat.
Twelve men going to the graveyard
And eleven coming back.

Now that I've told my story,
I'll take another shot of booze.
And if anyone should happen to ask you,
I've got those gamblers' blues. 

Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
She'll never find a sweet man like me.

St. James Infirmary

This is a reupload of an updated version of an original song that I wrote.

Oh they say to choose your battles
cause love is just a war
that you fight until the day 
for what, you're not quite sure
Could be to keep away the loneliness
or Death knockin' at your door
Just keep your war ragin' on
but don't make it a chore
Cause love is like an IED
that explodes within your core

Oh and love is Vietnam
and love is Iraq
Love is leavin' your life behind you
and knowin' you might never come back

Oh I remember when I enlisted in the Fall of 2009
I saw you standin' across the room
and I had to make you mine
So I marched my One Man Army
and I shot you with a line
But you put up your defenses
yeah you wouldn't give me any time
But after three week of my shit
one of my shots finally hit

Oh and love is stormin' beaches
and love is droppin' bombs
so let's fight this war together
and together we'll struggle on

Now the war it is over  and the smoke has finally cleared
our loved had reached a stale mate
and it's exactly as we feared
so we signed off all the treaties
and we went and disappeared
for we had seen the ugly head
that love had reared

Oh and love is a surrender
and love is a white flag
And love will bring you down son
but don't make love a drag

Oh and love is Vietnam
and love is Iraq
Love is leavin' your life behind you
and knowin' you might never come back


Love is Vietnam

A duet cover of The Carter Family's "East Virginia Blues No. 2"

My sweetheart has gone and left me
And my little sisters, too
And I'm left alone in sadness
Lord, I don't know what to do

All this world has turned against me
Nothing but trouble do I see
There will be no more pleasure
In this whole wide world for me 

Oh, I am just from East Virginia
With a heart so brave and true
And I learned to love a maiden
With eyes of heavenly blue

That same day I packed my suitcase
And I started to go away
But she met me at the station
Saying, darling, won't you stay 

Oh, I am dying, Captain, dying
Won't you take these words for me
Take them over to the jailhouse
Let this whole wide world go free
