• May 18, 2024Billboard Town:

  What ya gonna do if the cows come home

  And catch us looking this way

  I watched her dance

  She was beautiful

  I made the bed

  We took a walk

  Past billboard town

  And Watch the sun sink

  Into the ground

  I don’t think it could have been better

  With the river so close at hand

  I don’t know if I had let her

  Keep me from breaking in

  Listening to your stories

  I think I understand

  How far away you feel

  But I know you’re come back again

  I never imagined forgetting your face but I did

  I never imagined forgetting your voice but I did

  I never imagined forgetting myself but I did

  What ya gonna do if the cows come home

  And catch us looking this way

• May 18, 2024You Can Count On Me

  It was a pretty good day

  I took you across the border

  Sat on a stone wall

  In the shade

  And drank some coffee

  Well you said that you used to travel

  Then you lost your legs

  But you didn’t unravel 

  But it changed

  Changed everything

  Today we slip on the frozen river

  Tomorrow we swim with nothing on

  Summon up the others

  When the others are gone

  There’s a story I tell about the desert

  How I saw you up in a tree

  How I watched you from a satellite

  And sent you erotic pictures of me

  But the desert turned into the heartland

  And the heartland lead to the sea 

  Not what did you expected

  Expect it to be

  Well it seems like forever 

  Could conceivably arrive

  I’m hoping for the best 

  But I know better

  It’s late

  Most things have come and gone

  The water in my tap

  Seems a little bit colder

  And I’m happy just to see you

  I’ll be waiting

  You , you can count on me

  Well guys like me we got nothing

  We cast a wide net just to see..Just to see

  But you can count on me

  Frozen painted desert

  Wake up in the Econo-line

  Gap the points to get started

  I’m headed for the state line

  Headed for the state line

  I light a candle with a stone

  The way I drink alone

  Well , I once had a garden

  A garden where everything grew

  Now I’m just  looking for someone

  Plow it all under

  And start something new

  But You… you can count on me

  B B B Baby

  You can count on me

• May 15, 2024One True Thing/Second Mix

  You said the one true thing about you

  I the one that I don’t know

  But darling I can see it

  You take your final bow

  I think about the difference

  Do you understand

  When the waters edge gets closer

  I need to wade right in

  I take to the road

  And I climb up every tree

  Never ever ever to fall again

  When you go missing

  I sleep too much

  When you forget

  I miss your touch

  I give you my word

  Like a little bird

  Just like the one that told me

  So we dig a little different

  Just looking for something new

  We plant a little garden

  The garden is always true

  The crown slips a bit

  And I stumble

  I try to explain

  But I’m sure that my addictions

  Have kept us from gaining steam

  And when you see me standing in the rain

  Won’t you come outside to say

  Its a pretty shitty day

  If I could see you now

  I know what I’d say

  I know what I am doing

  I see what you say

  You said the one thing about you

  Is the one that I don’t know

  And everybody’s got

  To take their final bow

• January 27, 2024One Last Breath

  Well the front porch swing

  Sits empty next to you

  And you’re are spelling out the words

  Yeah words

  Words I never knew

  Your smile appears

  And the rain begins

  To wash away the sky

  I can’t say I knew what I was doing

  Day by day by day

  You were gone in the morning

  Slipped away with one last breath

  You are my confident

  My thoughts are safe with you

  If it’s bad

  It’s got to get better

  If it’s good

  It can’t last forever

  But you were gone in the morning

  Slipped away with one last breath

  One last breath

  I’m so sad

  Everything’s fleeting

  I’m so sad

  Everything passes away

  I'm calling

  I've been calling

  I sat in the church

  With the choir over head

  Not knowing it was you that I hear

  Little box of ashes

  Yeah you made it

  You made it so quite clear

  Well your smile appears

  And the rain begins

  To wash away the sky

  I can’t say I knew what I was doing

  Day by day by day

• December 01, 2023Kin After All

  I see you lookin at me

  Curled picture on the wall

  Just a sliver of a moon yea

  it’s trash night again

  Waiting for a vaccine

  In my bathrobe again

  Puzzled by the snow

  I Spent my day with drifters

  Trips to the liquor store and sexual advances

  I’m counting my steps

  I Oh the void in my heart

  Is a pretty good start

  Lined up on the wall with kin

  Crack in the sky when I need it

  Oh dreaming of something I love

  I see some thing new and I know that it is true

  Well that’s what I get from above

  Well I bought you some pot

  And I bought some beer

  Oh I wanted to tell you the story

  But instead we counted the stars

  I heard your flight leave this morning

  From behind the grocery store

  Oh but you were not on it

  No you were not on it

  You’re laughing and dancing

  The valley lights up in the fading sun

  For a moment I think

  Oh nothing really matters

  Well the floods from up north will be coming

  Pass through us and be on their way

  And somewhere else you will be thinking

  Of higher ground and those deluge days

  I see you lookin at me

  Curled picture on the wall

  Lined up next to

  Kin after all

  After all

  After all

  Lined up like

  Kin after al
