Saturday Night Special
04:54
|
|||
|
Down in the French quarter
They got just what you want
Orphan girls and runaways
La Maison Du Soleil Levant
Tell them that I sent you
And ask for Lulu White
For the finest fleur-de-lis
Of all them ladies of the night
All the gamblers and the grifters
Out looking for a thrill
They’re waiting in line all night long
For the queen of Storyville
The angel from Evangeline
She rules the avenue
They say she got her boiling blood
From that big, old Chief Mamou
So if you’re picking up
What I’m putting down
You’re bound to find some trouble
On the shady side of town
Keep a pistol in your pocket
And your money in your shoe
The Saturday night special
She gonna make a mess of you
S'il vous plaît, écoutez
She whispered in my ear
I know a place that we can go
When you get me out of here
And if you have some money
We can have some fun
We’ll spend the rest of our days
Like a rabbit on the run
So if you’re picking up
What I’m putting down
You’re bound to find some trouble
On the shady side of town
Keep a pistol in your pocket
And your money in your shoe
The Saturday night special
She gonna make a mess of you

When I'm Gone
02:57

Waken, taken
Unseen and forsaken
You know I’ll miss you
When I’m gone
Fireflies, butterflies
Beautiful, precious eyes
You know I’ll miss you
When I’m gone
In all the years
That passed us by
Hoping time would stand still
All the memories
Laughter and tears
Washed away through the years
Knowing showing
Hearts overflowing
You know I’ll miss you
When I’m gone
And all the years
Passed us by
Wishing time could stand still
And All the memories
Laughter and tears
Washed away through the years
Knowing, showing
Time keeps on rolling
Just know I loved you
When I’m gone
Fireflies, butterflies
Beautiful, precious eyes
Just know I loved you
When I’m gone
Butterflies, sunny skies
Beautiful, precious smile
Just know I loved you
When I’m gone

Down The Line
05:15

I bet you got something up your sleeve
The way you act so carefree
Smoke and fire deep in your eyes
Baby we know it's a big disguise
Got no reason to slow it down
Keep on trucking from town to town
No one could hold on to you
All alone singing the blues
On your way up or
Your way back down
What comes around
Goes around
And if you find
You could change your mind
Gotta look further
On down the line
On down the line
Floating through life
Without a care
Wilted flowers
Falling from your hair
Looking for someone
Made of gold
Spinning in circles
Too hard to hold
On your way up or
Your way back down
What comes around
Goes around
And if you find
You could change your mind
Gotta look further
On down the line
On down the line
Tripping through time
Until you fell
Down to the bottom
Of the wishing well
Wander the world
Aimlessly
Until there's no more fruit
On the money tree
On your way up or
Your way back down
What comes around
Goes around
And if you find
You could change your mind
Gotta look further
On down the line
On down the line

Broken Home Blues
03:51
|
|||
|
There were the hard times
There were the sad times
Maybe some good times
But mostly just bad times
I just can't win, and I just can't lose
These low down broken home blues
I did all cooking
And cleaning for you
Until they turned off the power
And the water too
I just can't win, and I just can't lose
These low down broken home blues
She put her things in pile
And said with a smile
It's gonna be a while
Until you see the likes of me
You probably don't care
But I've got to be somewhere
Theres a lot of important people
Waiting for me there
I busted my hump
For the two of us
So why you got to go and
Throw me under the bus
I just can't win, and I just can't lose
These low down broken home blues
She put her things in pile
And said with a smile
It's gonna be a while
Maybe never and a day
But what she meant to say
Baby I'll make you pay
You'll be so sad and lonely
Until your last dying day
She took all my pride
She took all my joy
She took all my money
And both of the boys
I just can't win, I just can't lose
These old low down broken home blues
There were the hard times
We had the sad times
Maybe some good times
But mostly just bad times
Just can't win, just can't lose
Got these old low down broken home blues

Would it be alright
If I crashed on your couch tonite
I'll try to keep my stuff
Stashed out of sight
Would it be ok
If I stay another day
I'll be back on my feet
And get on my way
I wanna be like the lucky ones
Do nothing all day
Live free like the lucky ones
Where everything is ok
Gonna be like lucky ones
You got me feeling alright
Cause you and me are the lucky ones
Feeling lucky tonite
I've always liked your style
And the way you make me smile
So why don't you stay
Just a little while
That will be just fine
We can wine and dine
Count all of the stars
Up in the sky
I wanna be like the lucky ones
Do nothing all day
Live free like the lucky ones
Where everything is ok
Gonna be like lucky ones
You got me feeling alright
Cause you and me are the lucky ones
Feeling lucky tonite
So many things I want to do with you
And I hope you're feeling lucky too
Who would have knew
I would wind up here with you
Into my life
From out of the blue
I wanna be like the lucky ones
Do nothing all day
Live free like the lucky ones
Where everything is ok
Gonna be like lucky ones
You got me feeling alright
Cause you and me are the lucky ones
Feeling lucky tonite
Gonna be like lucky ones
You got me feeling alright
Cause you and me are the lucky ones
Feeling lucky tonite

What It Ain't

Hello my friend
I have so much to say
I’m writing you this letter
I hope you’ll read someday
I wish the words
Tell you
What I need them to
Just know that I’m sorry
And I’m always missing you
I hope to see you soon
And I love you
Those younger dreams
Always seemed so near
The memories slowly fade
Until they disappear
Now there’s no one left
To shoot me to the moon
It’s just a another chorus
To that same old tune
I hope to see you soon
And I love you
What it is
And what it ain’t
Never mind the pictures
They’ll try to paint
Like a puzzle
In the wind
Just can’t find all the pieces
And put them back again
Wide awake
Like a fool I hope and pray
Wishing there was somehow
We could meet again someday
Like a runaway train
Running down the track
Too late to stop
And it ain’t coming back
I hope I see you soon
And I love you
What it is
And what it ain’t
Never mind the pictures
They are trying to paint
Like a puzzle in the wind
Gonna find all the pieces
And put them back again
Just another mile to the bridge
On this fine and sunny day
I hear the river calling me
I’m gonna fly
So far away
What it is
And what it ain’t
Never mind the pictures
They are trying to paint
Like a puzzle in the wind
Time to pick up all the pieces
And put them back again
Put them back again

Believe

Beside the ocean
The boy found a message
Perhaps it came
From a far away land
He showed all the people
Who lived the village
But he was the only one
Who would understand
Silence my child
Don’t waste my time
Im trying to work
To make you a home
Unto this war
You were born forsaken
I'm wretched now
There must not be a lord
Show me
Some kind of sign
A miracle
Will do me just fine
And I could believe
Maybe I would believe
I want to believe
So make me believe
On the next morning
The boy was awakened by his mothers scream
She was standing in the ocean
In the middle of her dream
Talking to the man about
A message he would send
And there were tears of Joy
Show me
Some kind of sign
A miracle
Will do me just fine
And I could believe
Maybe I would believe
I want to believe
I'm gonna believe
Sometimes the message
Comes from the strangest of places
You just have to listen
And maybe you will
Believe

Goodbye To My Friends
04:11
|

|
We have to ask the reason
Are you sick are you sad
Did you lose your money or your mind
Everything you had
Another glass of chardonnay
A paper and a pen
Just trying to find a way to say
Goodbye to my friends
Talk about my story
Do you know who I am
Is there someone in my corner
Who can understand
Just trying to find a way to say
Goodbye to my friends
Cant wait to calculate
No time left To lose
bag is packed, favorite hat
brand New pair of shoes
Empty glass of chardonnay
A paper and a pen
Just trying to find a way to say
Goodbye to my friends
Talk about my story
Do you know who I am
Is there someone in my corner
Who can understand
Just trying to find a way to say
Goodbye to my friends
Talk about my story
Do you know who I am
Is there someone in my corner
Who can understand
Just trying to find a way to say
Goodbye to my friends
Just trying to find a way to say
Goodbye to my friends

Hop On A Freight
03:35
|

|
Too much trouble
What will it take
Foolish minds
And the rules they make
She always on time
So don’t be late
Gotta get out of town
And hop on a freight
Blind by the light
Blind to the hate
The lies they tell
Don’t take the bait
She always on time
So don’t be late
Gonna get out of town
And hop on a freight
Catch her on the fly
She can take you far
Wherever your going
Is where you are
She always on time
So don’t be late
Gotta get out of town
And hop on a freight

Diamonds And Gold

I've been thinking about you
Wondering how things have changed
And this time without you
You know it’s gotten pretty strange
Nothing but
The candles from the flames
Sparkle in you eyes
Still remains
Diamonds and gold
Nothing lasts forever
Forever I’ve been told
Diamonds and gold
Nothing but theses feelings are left
Untold
Something in your eyes
I'm spinning like a top
Floating though my mind
And all this time without you
Has taken it’s toll
I just can’t find
All the words
Like colors in the sky
Ringing in my ears
Like the time you said goodbye
Ooh ooh ahhh
Diamonds and gold
Nothing lasts forever
Forever I’ve been told
Diamonds and gold
Nothing but theses feelings are left
Untold
Ooh ooh ahhh
But just remember
You can’t keep it inside
All the words
Like colors in the sky
Ringing in my ears
Like the time we said goodbye
Diamonds and gold
Nothing lasts forever
Forever I’ve been told
Diamonds and gold
Diamonds and gold
Nothing but theses feelings are left
Nothing but theses feelings are left
Untold
Ooh ooh ahhh

Americana and sometimes
“Spacey Hippy Rock”,
with thought provoking lyrics, surrounded in a bed of
organic, analog instruments played by humanoids
After a long absence of playing music together, John and Rand got hired to play a gig amidst the height of COVID. At the gig, they came up with the beginnings of the song “Back To You”. The boys soon realized that two heads are better than one.
