A thanksgiving without family
I met you at a table of friends
I was closed and raw emotionally
Seemed this heaviness might never end
You kept smiling in a sweet shy way
Then you said something so damn silly
I eyes caught the same sun ray
We were too unknowing still
I knew, I knew, I knew you before
I knew, I knew, I knew you
Yea, you feel like home
Baby, you feel like home
Yea, you feel like home
to me
By the ocean wrapped under the stars
dissolving you and me into the air and sky above
A discovery of who we are
Such a mystery love
And I knew, I knew, I knew you before
I knew, I knew, I knew you
Yea you feel like home
Baby, you feel like home
Yea, you feel like home
to me

Cowgirl

Fine young cowgirl living a life humbly
Use to ride up on the western front
Wild horses and fields of green
Living life like a stream
Every Sunday, we would play by the big oak tree
She’d ride into town with a stack of daisies
Stories told, hands hold, ring of rosie
All fall down, laughing and rollin around
Every Sunday, we would play by the big oak tree
She’d ride into town with a stack of daisies
Stories told, hands hold. ring of rosie
All fall down, laughing and rollin around
Stopped dead in our tracks
Church bells in the air
Cowgirls hands tied behind her back
Big Buckles
Sunday dress
Hate in their eyes
Silver in hand
Oh, Yellin so loud
I heard nothing

Hey Girls

Hey Girls
Do your thing
Hey Girls
Own it when the sun is shining
Do your thing
Even when the rain is pouring
Hey
Give it all, Give it all, Give all
That you bring
Media’s watching
no mistakes
What’s in now
oh so fake
Don’t they know
plastic flowers don’t grow
Don’t they know
plastic flowers don’t grow
Feel
it’s good to be real
Hey Girls
Do your thing
Hey Girls
Own it when the sun is shining
Do your thing
Even when the rain is pouring
Hey, Love is rising
Own it all, Be it all, Give all
That you bring
Media is huffing and puffing
blow me down
What’s feeding the frenzy
got no ground
Don’t they see
plastic flower ain’t me (are not me)
Don’t they see
plastic flowers ain’t we (are not me)
We feel
it's good to be real
A Real Flower needs
the mud and the dirt
wind the the rain
loss and the gain
the moon and sun
joy and the hurt
the bees and bugs
Love and the hugs
Love and the hugs
Hey Girls
Do your thing
Hey Girls
Own it when the wind is howling
Do your thing
Even when the bugs are crawling
Give it all, Be it all, Love all
That you bring!

Let me Think
03:14
|

Like a steamin locomotive train
He only said, over and over this one word chain
Let me think about it
Let me think about it baby
Let me think about it
Is all he ever said
Nothing grew, nothing changed
Once this way, always the same
Nothing, nothing
Once this way, always the same
Nothing grew, nothing changed
Once this way
always the same
same, same
I knew he was thinkin’
an absent blank stare
keepin’ so busy
connected no where
His mind took over
I tried to get thru
he was so hooked
rather think than do
Let me think about it
Let me think about it baby
Let me think about it
Is all he ever said
knew he was thinkin’
an absent blank stare
keepin’ so busy
connected no where
His mind took over
I tried to get thru
he was so hooked
rather think than do
rather think than do
Well I gotta do
Even if it’s without you
Gotta grow, something’s changed
Gotta grow, something’s changed

Just Begun

Singin' 'n strummin' and carryin' on
You Parachute in from no oxygen
Mind dismantles, it’s come undone
Body melts, you’re the one
Is this real or like a jackalope
Cool off baby, sud the soap
Wrestling out of that rodeo rope
Squashing old negative no no nope
Crazy for you
Lay your sweet groove on me
Lucky sevens holds the key
Open the door to destiny
Here’s how real love can be
Sauteen n’ makin a roux
Let’s cook tonite n’ rock a fais do do
Play all night, another lick or two
Breads risin’ high, crazy voodoo
Layin' bare in the sun
Sway in the salty, sweet ocean
We’d just begun
We’d just begun
We’d just begun
I want to be with you
Mercury risin’ nice n’ hot
Bendin’, shakin’ give it all you got
Bippitty bop bop bop on the lot
Stokin’ n’ fusing a musical megawatt
At last, we’re weavin' our song
Groovin’ with you is where I belong
Never knew a love so strong
We’re so right and so wrong
Layin' bare in the sun
Sway in the salty, sweet ocean
We’d just begun
We’d just begun
We’d just begun
Want to be with you

Here's A Chance
05:03
|

Time's gone by
I breathe another red sigh
I've been drifting, living a lie
Storms rising up inside
For a long, long time
Is there someone who sees
I've been burnin' in a red freeze
Feel no gift, my spirit flees
Lay me down in the breeze
Such a low, low, time
A wave washes over me
I'm awake subtlely
Going in just to be
Here's a chance to be free
Here's a chance to be free
Time's gone by
I breathe another red sigh
I've been drifting living a lie
Storms rising up inside
For a long, long time
A wave washes over me
I'm awake finally
Headed out just to be
Here's a chance to be free
Here's a chance to be free
I want to be free
Live a life that's good inside
I want to be free
Sail, soar, accept the ride
I want to be free and easy
Gonna take a chance
