Lasso Cafe

Headed north on the 35
highways over the old cattle drive
cowboys in pickups 
and  	rangers on the side

with the radar guns
and nowhere to hide

and her words play again in  my head
no matter how fast i go	
i can't outrun the things she said

We've been down this road so many times
i get to San Antone without using my eyes
but no matter how far we go
we always end back on the road to home

and her words play again in  my head
 	
i can't outrun the things she said


When will you get it together
I wanna leave the tumbleweed 
Are you ok with this forever

But you already know
Everything i'm going to say
you lasso
pull me back again anway
you can't let go
of your demands and i can't change
between a rock and the last the last cafe
on the toll road

It's been my home since i was alive
Only the strong and the tanned survive
So i turn around towards mexico
And drive on back to laredo

Nothing In The Way

V1
Sunrise
You got here just at the right time
Been waiting here for some daylight
To help me get to the right side

(additional verse)
Fly right
sail right through without sight
I guess we hope  we just might
land on our feet again

pre-chorus
I been lying awake
Working out the change
The world i wanna believe in
And how it might be arranged

chorus
Fireworks in the  sky
Never seen in the light of day
But brilliant at night
When tHere's nothing in the way

v2
Moonlight
do what u can
it's alright
the minimum
is just fine
i gotta burn a torch of my own

pre-chorus 2
and i 
can't help believin'
the only way it can be
something
i can believe in
gonna be
starting with me

chorus
Fireworks in the  sky
Never seen in the light of day
But brilliant at night
When tHere's nothing in the way

...
But in my head, it's falling through
the cracks are showing
But in my head, it's falling through
the cracks are showing
Yeah in my head, it's falling through
the cracks are showing

We gotta clear a path
til there's nothing in the way
nothing in the way

Nothing In The Way (v11)

Gregslist radio show, Aug. 8, 2024

Music and Lyrics by Doug Hopkins
Arrangement by Jesse Vinyl Jr.

Hey Jealousy (Gin Blossoms cover)

I host two shows on 103.5 The Sun, a community radio station in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Hey! Ho! Let's Go is punk/alternative rock. Gregslist is rock, hip hop, soul, blues, reggae, country -- a little bit of everything. (Also former host of a show called Country Gold, which you will find archived here.)

I write the songs that make the whole world cringe.
