Track Name: Mary Jane

Trees are swayin’ in the breeze they’re sayin’

Summer Livin’ is easy

There is some lovely you can’t buy with money

Rejoicing in the simple things

Come on down Mary Jane

Cause there’s a party happening

Place our bets but don’t keep score

Drunk in love or drunk at war

It don’t matter any more

Well we are young and those dreams we have

Are runnin’ around our crazy heads

Wearing worry on your skin let it burn in the sun

Oh baby lets make summer love

Come on down Mary Jane

Cause there’s a party happening

Place our bets but don’t keep score

Drunk in love or drunk at war

It don’t matter any more

No it don’t matter anymore

Mary Jane won’t you come on down

Cause there’s a party in this town

We don’t care

No we don’t care

You can wear your hair down baby

You can wear your hair down baby

You can wear your hair down baby

You can wear your hair down baby

 

Track Name: Drugs and Liquor

Drugs and Liquor

Love was drugs and liquor, oh God willing God Willing

These Demons that are crawling up my spine

Two were dead but I survived, now voice just my ears and my eyes

I cut my losses and I cut all of my ties

Cause she’s got her fingers on the trigger

She’s got her fingers on the trigger

She’s aiming for your head

She’s aiming for your head

Yellow painting the summer, found you floated down the river

And never even noticed time go by

Love was you guns and money, hey killers killer killers ain’t that funny

We were busy searching for our sedative

Cause she’s got her fingers on the trigger

She’s got her fingers on the trigger

She’s aiming for your head

She’s aiming for your head


Well aren’t you so damn lovely

 

Track Name: Someday

Someday

Used to be that all we did was love

So tangled in those words I lost myself

Oh baby some days it was easy

Somedays it was hard

Saw you walking barefoot in the mud

I almost lost my mind I had enough

Of your daisy dukin’ ways

Your smile come and take me away

Oh don’t worry about me baby

I’ll be sure not to wake you on my way out

It’ll be a hard road made easier

Forget me forget me when you wake up

Cosmic as we danced onto the moon

Ain’t nothing on this Earth but me and you

Oh lord I cried till I laughed

Then I jumped on the train tracks

Oh don’t worry about me baby

I’ll be sure not to wake you on my way out

It’ll be a hard road made easier

Forget me forget me when you wake up

Used to be that all we did was love

So tangled in those words I lost myself

Oh baby some days it was easy

Somedays it was hard

 

Track Name: Wallflower

Wallflower

She licks her lips and says how are you baby

I flipped the script and lied about my age well

I am a young man, trying to be old

And we are so gullible

Believing what were told

This is from war torn and beaten down town

This is for Wallflower watching that world spin ‘round

This is from war torn and beaten down town

And this is for Wallflower watching that world spin ‘round

He played saxophone and sang just like love making

She was tongue tied flowers on the table

He spoke like silk, but had no love

Boy she jumps in quick, with them rubber gloves

This is from war torn and beaten down town

This is for Wallflower watching that world spin ‘round

This is from war torn and beaten down town

And this is for Wallflower watching that world spin ‘round

 

Track Name: Mona Lisa

New strings on an old guitar

when you were near I was far away

Weightless shoes aimless ways

another show on a Saturday at the old marquee

Dreaming of you and me

My my Mona Lisa why do you smile

Do you know something we don’t know seems you’ve known it for a while

My my Mona Lisa with lights on her face

She is smiling but her heart it breaks

Another song another day

Another word we forgot to say

Well that’s okay

Old thread come undone

Fraying praying to be the ones they call lucky

Wouldn’t that be something

My my Mona Lisa why do you smile

Do you know something we don’t know seems you’ve known it for a while

My my Mona Lisa with lights on her face

She is smiling but her heart it breaks

Oh tell me the secret, to missing some one

Who painted lines on your face

Ooh look to the crowd to see if he’ll ever

Come back to this place

My my Mona Lisa why do you smile

Do you know something we don’t know seems you’ve known it for a while

My my Mona Lisa with lights on her face

She is smiling but her heart it breaks

 

What We Are (2016) Lyrics

Track Name: Oh Climb Ye Mountain

Oh climb Ye mountain
Climb into see a bigger picture
For you and for me
And we will be ready
When the judgement day comes
Armed with forgiveness armed with love
So Fear not your maker Fear only your mind
For all of the secrets Will be revealed in time
Gather your courage gather your might
O high your candle bright lights in the night
said O climb ye mountain
Climb into see
A bigger picture for you and for me
And we will be ready when the judgement day comes
Armed with forgiveness armed with love
And everybody gonna be smiling and living good
Won't be no disharmony in the neighborhood
And will walk together walking for a cause
Or some deeper meaning
Gratitude and love
Said o climb ye mountain
Climb into see
A bigger picture for you and for me
And we will be ready when the judgement day comes
Armed with forgiveness armed with love

Track Name: Ocean Eyes

I got lost in the green of your ocean eyes,
Went way down in the depths below,
There ain’t no light,
See I got no money well loves that fool
That spent it all on loving you

And a poor man bargained with the devil
Lost man never had a map
Good man gave it all away
And a wise man fell into your trap

Held me up on a hollow ground
Love is Proud
But my heart was heavy I fell right through that hollow ground
Oh I begged I pleaded pick me up,
She said if ain't love just fleeting lust

And a poor man bargained with the devil
Lost man never had a map
Good man gave it all away
And a wise man fell into your trap

Poor man bargained with the devil
Lost man never had a map
Good man gave it all away
And a wise man gave it all back.

I will always love you,
Know that I will always love you.
Ocean, ocean eyes
Ocean, ocean eyes
Singing ocean, ocean eyes

Passing through the darkness now,
I begin to find,
Oh I couldn’t hide it,
Running from it, never panned out,
no, no, not at all, not all at, Can’t hide myself away,
no that’s never gonna work out

Cause if the light of God shining down upon you is there,
You ain’t got nothing to ever fear, no
If you ever see the light of God,
Shed it on your brother
If you ever see the light of God,
Share it with your lover

Track Name: Mysterious Ways

Oh god workin’ in mysterious ways (x8)
Well if your listen brother then your hearing good
There are certain mysteries that ain’t understood
Know you got to feel them got to walk that path
It as right up man it's simple math
Oh god working in mysterious ways
Oh god working in mysterious ways
Oh god working in mysterious ways
Oh god working in mysterious ways
When that mystery is moving and that magic is made
And you hear that whisper as the sunset fades  
And the nights she holds ya as the new lights brings  
Fresh hope rising up off fluttering wings
I'm singing -
Oh god working in mysterious ways
Oh god working in mysterious ways
Oh god working in mysterious ways
Oh god working in mysterious ways
Come on now
Im singing
Oh god working in mysterious ways
Oh god working in mysterious ways
Oh god workin in mysterious ways

Track Name: Jack and Ginger

Well, me and Jack Ginger hanging at the bar
Smoking cigarettes like they were cigars
And dancing the good old country night away
And it wasn’t till just bout a quarter to three,
Ginger turns around and looks at me and she asks me where
Jack has been.

Don’t you go wasting your time looking for Jack in Kansas,
He left his common sense in Tennessee
Don’t you go wasting your time trying to talk sense to the senseless,
You would be better off
Talking to a tree.

Well I hit the road up in Nebraska
Bought myself a cowboy hat at a gas station,
Told em “Keep the change.”
Cause I be making my way on up to Dakota,
Beating the sky and head in the shower,
Cause I been sweating man.

Don’t you go wasting your time looking for Jack in Kansas,
He left his common sense in Tennessee
Don’t you go wasting your time trying to talk sense to the senseless,
You would be better off
Falling asleep.

Well I’ll be running down south till the road turns red,
A mourning in Georgia put a soul to rest.
Up on Heavenly Hill.
Yeah, when mama starts calling,
You know where we’ll be,
Talking bout God on a South Georgia beach
Singing healing songs.
Don’t you go wasting your time looking for Jack in Kansas,
He left his common sense in Tennessee,
Don’t you go wasting your time trying to talk sense to the senseless,
You would be better off
Talking to a tree.

Track Name: Nowhere Again

Here I am going nowhere again.
Guess I was just waiting for you to hold my hand
I don’t know
If she’s coming
But I’m waitin’
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain
Guess that’s just the way that it goes
Guess that’s just the way that it goes
Guess that’s just the way that it goes

Young banditos become partners in crime
Caught in the act now, their doing some time

Well at least I can love

Guess that’s just the way that it goes
Guess that’s just the way that it goes

How long you be standing here alone
How long you be standing here alone
How long will I stay here alone
How long will I stay here alone

She came along and she took my hand
Said run with me boy fast as you can

Well at least, I did try

Guess that’s just the way that it goes
Guess that’s just the way that it goes
Yeah

Nobody answering your calls,
When head once high now hanging low,

You lean upon a higher self.

And understanding
Cause Mother, I’d like to thank you for being kind
And never doubting my decision

And Father, I’d like to thank you for teaching me
That I could pick myself up on my own two feet
Have a little bit of accountability, boy

Nobody answering your calls
And low heads are raising up

Oh just a little bit of understanding
Yes and love

And I remember rolling up my jeans walking in a creek
And your red kisses on my cheek

Because after all this day is long after all this day long
And I remember all those yellow moons
Paint that black sky blue

Track Name: Carry On

Carry on my brother carry on my friend
May the great big arms of father god open up and take it in
May we soar with wings like eagles in that great eternal sky
May we sing again are freedom songs
in that sweet old by and by
By and by the spirits moving
By and By the river flow
By and By my heart needs soothing
When that chariot swings low
And cycle keeps on spinning
As mother nature shows   
By and By our bodies turn to the dirt
From the dirt the flowers grow
So carry on my brother carry on my friend
May the great big arms of father god open up and take it in
May we soar with wings like eagles in that grey internal sky
May we sing again our freedom songs
In that sweet old by and by
By and By the spirits moving
By and By the river flow
By and By my heart needs soothing
When that chariot swings low
And the cycle keeps on spinning
As mother nature shows
Thank god we're not these bodies oh thank god, thank god … we are soul

Beverly Anne, gave me the last drag,

Of a cigarette, last in her pack

She goes down to the city, Way downtown

Beverly Anne, Gave me some advice

I didn’t hear it, cause I was messed up

Well damn

She hides under the Hawthorne bridge, With syringe,

of her prayers she is unconvinced

I tried singing but she wouldn’t listen

She’s convinced she wants to be somebody else

Suddenly she wakes up, heart beats, softly

The gift of life is love, she knows, cause she can feel it

Suddenly she wakes up, heart beats, softly

The gift of life is love, she knows, cause she can feel it

Oh Birmingham, looks like the lights went out tonight

Now I’m staring down the barrel of a Colt 45

Praying for a future as the past flash passed my eyes

Am is seeing double or have i just lost my mind

Praying that tomorrow I will see that sweet sunrise

Don't let me down again she says

Don’t break my heart again he says

Staring' down the barrel of a colt 45

Track Name: Mercy

Mercy is a word I never came to know,

Mama pulled that switch right off of the oak,

Mama beat my ass all up and down the floor

You know what she said

What are you standing for

What are you standing for

What am I standing for

What am i standing for

Well my papa worked his hands right down to the bone

Mama cooked them grits right there on the stove

Baby, crying for her Daddy all night long

What are you working for

What are you working for

What am I working for

What am I working for

Grandpa sits in his old rocking chair

Grandma packs that pipe with that good old rare

Children go outside and make a band

What are we playing for

What are we playing for

What are we praying for

What are we praying for

Mercy, is a word I had too come to know

Mama beat those words right out of my mouth

She said, can't stand for something then your

Bound to fall for anything

can't stand for something then your

Bound to fall for anything

can't stand for something you’ll be crawling back to mercy

On your knees

Mercy

Track Name: Mary Molly

Mary don’t worry you can let your guard down and its okay

You can be certain although you are hurting good loving is on the way

I said Molly don’t worry, you can let your guard down and it’s okay

You can be certain although you are hurting good loving is on the way

Mary don’t worry you can let your hair down and its okay

Battered and bruised you’ve been hustled and used, good loving is on the way

I said Mary don’t worry, you can let your guard down and it’s okay

Battered and bruised you’ve been hustled and used, good loving is on the way

She said ohhh, am I enough? down on my luck

Am I enough? enough for your love?

Yes I’m enough! enough for your love

Track Name: Pity Party

Buzzards flying overhead, my mind is running but my body is dead,

The flies are buzzing, but my flock has fled uh huh uh huh

People coming from all around, from the north side where the kids get down

From the South side, just to hear that sound uh huh uh huh

Basically man my soul is lead, to the ground it has plummeted,

Think i'd rather be anywhere instead

Of my own head

Pity Party in the town, my face was so low

My nose was skimming the ground, my faith was so low

Still i'm glory bound this I know

I got nowhere to lay my head, my home’s in Heaven,

Where my spirit is fed, my heart is heavy,

feels like this song won’t ever end

Basically man my soul is lead, to the ground it has plummeted,

Think I'd rather be anywhere instead

Of my own head

Pity Party in the town, my face was so low

My nose was skimming the ground, my faith was so low

Still I'm glory bound this I know

Track Name: Sacred Song

O’ Lord my mind is gone, it has been replaced by a sacred song

All my life, I give to thee, a mystery gonna set us free

I’ve been waiting, for this long time,

To share my love with my family

I walked this road, all by myself,

When I turned around, you were by my side

And we’re singing

O’ Lord my mind is gone, it has been replaced by a sacred song

All my life, I give to thee, a mystery gonna set us free

Memories, of melodies, sung with family

Come to me in my dreams,

Good times and hard times, through thick and thin

My family, always there for me

And we’re singing

O’ Lord my mind is gone, it has been replaced by a sacred song

All my life, I give to thee, a mystery gonna set us free

To love is my purpose, to love and to sing

I will carry the lessons, that’ve been instilled in me

This ancient song, been sung through years

To ancient souls with babies ears

And we’re singing

O’ Lord my mind is gone, it has been replaced by a sacred song

All my life, I give to thee, a mystery gonna set us free

O’ Lord my mind is gone, it has been replaced by a sacred song

All my life, I give to thee, a mystery gonna set us free

Track Name: Hangman

There’s a tree by my house, where I’ve been hangin’

There’s a man, he’s my friend, call him the Hangman

And I will carry on, yes I will carry on

In my head there’s a scribe, and he’s been writing

Tells the tale, how I’ve sailed through the lifetimes

And I will carry on, yes I all carry on

There's a voice, in my head, call him my conscience

He’ll remain passed the days that I am conscience

And I will carry on, yes I will carry on

There’s a tree by my house, where I’ve been hangin’

There’s a man, he’s my friend, call him the Hangman

And I will carry on, yes I will carry on

Track Name: Free In My Heart

I will be free in my heart someday

I will be free in my heart

I will be free in my heart someday

I’ll be free as I was at the start

Cause I know, I gotta let it go

Cause I know, I gotta choose to grow

I will be free in my heart someday

I will be free in my heart

I will be free in my heart someday

I’ll be free as I was at the start

Cause I know, I gotta let it go

Cause I know, I gotta choose to grow

I am now free in my heart today

I am now free in my heart

I am now free in my heart today

I’ll be free as I was at the start

Homemade Pie (Single 2023)

She Got that Homemade pie, 

And Sweet Potato, warm butter rolls, and Collard Greens

She got that love I need, when I am Hungry, she’s got a million ways, to feed a poor man’s soul

She Got that Homemade pie, 

And Sweet Potato, warm butter rolls, and Collard Greens

She got that love I need, when I am Hungry, she’s got a million ways, to feed a poor man’s soul


Nothin’ satisfies like your Lovin’, steaming hot fresh out of the oven, 

When it comes to flavor yours is the one I savor, your love is my religion and your foods my lord and savior

And Sweet Potato, warm butter rolls, and Collard Greens
