  • LA Freeway - Guy Clark Cover

     Pack up all your dishes. 
     Make note of all good wishes. 
     Say goodbye to the landlord for me. 
     That son of a bitch has always bored me. 
     
     Throw out them LA papers 
     And that moldy box of vanilla wafers. 
     Adios to all this concrete. 
     Gonna get me some dirt road back street 
     
     [Chorus]
     If I can just get off of this LA freeway 
     Without getting killed or caught 
     I'd be down that road in a cloud of smoke 
     For some land that I ain't bought bought bought 
     
     Here's to you old skinny Dennis 
     Only one I think I will miss 
     I can hear that old bass singing 
     Sweet and low like a gift you're bringin' 
     
     Play it for me just one more time now 
     Got to give it all we can now 
     I believe everything your saying 
     Just keep on, keep on playing 
     
     [Chorus]
     
     And you put the pink card in the mailbox 
     Leave the key in the old front door lock 
     They will find it likely as not 
     I'm sure there's somethin' we have forgot 
     
     Oh Susanna, don't you cry, babe 
     Love's a gift that's surely handmade 
     We've got something to believe in 
     Don't ya' think it's time we're leavin' 
     
     [Chorus]
     
     Pack up all your dishes. 
     Make note of all good wishes. 
     Say goodbye to the landlord for me. 
     That son of a bitch has always bored me.

  • Wicked Game: Cover

     The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
     It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
     I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
     And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
     
     No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
     No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
     With you
     With you 
     (This world is only gonna break your heart)
     
     What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way
     What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
     What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
     What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
     
     And I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
     No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
     With you
     
     The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
     Strange what desire will make foolish people do
     I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
     And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
     
     No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
     No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
     With you (this world is only gonna break your heart)
     With you (with you)
     (This world is only gonna break your heart)
     
     No, I (this world is only gonna break your heart)
     (This world is only gonna break your heart)
     
     Nobody loves no one

  • Soldiers Things: Tom Waits cover
    After watching "Jarhead" this song comes on at the end of the film.
    I played it years ago but decided to try it again... i probably could have done better
    but it was late and I just pushed on . . . . emotional tune.....
    Support our Veterans guys.... God Bless them!

  • Down In a Hole

     Bury me softly in this womb
     I give this part of me for you
     Sand rains down and here I sit
     Holding rare flowers
     In a tomb...in bloom
     
     Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
     See my heart I decorate it like a grave
     You don't understand who they 
     Thought I was supposed to be
     Look at me now a man
     Who won't let himself be
     
     Down in a hole, feeling so small
     Down in a hole, losing my soul
     I'd like to fly,
     But my wings have been so denied
     
     Down in a hole and they've put all 
     The stones in their place
     I've eaten the sun so my tongue
     Has been burned of the taste
     I have been guilty
     Of kicking myself in the teeth
     I will speak no more
     of my feelings beneath
     
     Down in a hole, feeling so small
     Down in a hole, losing my soul
     I'd like to fly 
     But my wings have been so denied
     
     Bury me softly in this womb
     Oh I want to be inside of you
     I give this part of me for you
     Oh I want to be inside of you
     Sand rains down and here I sit
     Holding rare flowers (Oh I want to be inside of you)
     In a tomb...in bloom
     Oh I want to be inside...
     
     Down in a hole, feeling so small
     Down in a hole, losing my soul
     Down in a hole, feeling so small
     Down in a hole, outta control
     I'd like to fly 
     My wings have been so denied
