When I'm With You

Another restless night, I cannot sleep again
Thinking about your life, and when you're coming in
But one thing I know for sure
I know there's nothing more for me in this life
Than when I'm with you
And I cannot wait to be near you
I'll be there in the evening, I'll be there in the morn
And if things ain't right, I'll keep you safe and warm
Cause one thing I know for sure
I know there's nothing more for me in this life
Than when I'm with you
And I cannot wait to be near you
Doooooo doooos....
And when the time has come, and you've gone out on your own
Just know you've got a friend, you've always got a home
Cause one thing I know for sure
It's not like it was before
And I know there's nothing more for me in this life
Than when I'm with you
And I cannot wait to be near you
Doooooo doooos....

Pinwheels

It all starts with a stillness
A silent second all full of hope and possibility
And then it all comes to life with
Mystery and movement
Before the chaos come to rest in peace
Cause we all, go round and round, like a pinwheel
Then all these little pieces, they come together
In an order that allows things to begin
While alone they are silent, but fun of potential
Just waiting for a hand and the wind
Cause we all, go round and round, like a pinwheel
Watch it as it goes
When it stops no-one knows
And it never seems to slow as it spins
And no matter how we try
We're all born to winder why
But we all live, and we all die
We all spin
You see there's all these different colors
None quite like the other
They're just dreams waiting to be realized
And our actions are the weather
And our dreams all blend together
Making up the fabric of our lives
Cause we all, go round and round, like a pinwheel

Here Come's The Fool

I fell for you the first time I saw you girl
Like there was nothing I could do
They say that only fools go rushing in
That's why I'm running home to you
Here Comes The Fool Again O-O-O-OooooOooo
I'm coming darlin
Here Comes The Fool Again yeah yeah
Here comes the fool again O-O-O-OooooOooo
I'm running baby
Here Comes The Fool Again yeah yeah
I said I'd walk to the edge of the world for you
Just to bring you back some sun
I said I'd climb the highest mountain tops
So I could yell to everyone
Here Comes The Fool Again O-O-O-OooooOooo
I'm coming darlin
Here Comes The Fool Again yeah yeah
Here comes the fool again O-O-O-OooooOooo
I'm running baby
Here Comes The Fool Again yeah yeah
My friends they say that love has struck me blind
Because you're all that I can see
They say it is some type of spell you cast
And that it has control of me
But I don't care what all the people say
They don't know how you make me feel - feel inside
So they can talk talk talk their days away
Cause I'm the one that holds the prize
Here Comes The Fool Again O-O-O-OooooOooo
I'm coming darlin
Here Comes The Fool Again yeah yeah
Here comes the fool again O-O-O-OooooOooo
I'm running baby
Here Comes The Fool Again yeah yeah

Prohibition Song
Now I've never been heavy on boozin'
I might drink, but not till I black out
And I don't get no thrills from your powders and pills
No to me that's not what life's about
But if you got something worth rollin
All sticky and gooey and green
Then let's head out back, break open that sack
And talk about things that we've seen
Let's go get high
Let's go get lit
I've got some time
And this weeds the shit
Let's go get high
Let's have a ball
Cause I've got some time
So let's smoke it all
Now there's Trainwreck, White Widow, and Mendo
The AK and the Kashmier Goo
There's that Desiel they got in the City
The Grape Crush and Blueberry Two
But this town's got some of the best herb
This side of the Trinity Alps
I have to admit, I love takin hits
Of that Muthaship growin down south
Let's go get high
Let's go get lit
I've got some time
And this weeds the shit
Let's go get high
Let's have a ball
Cause I've got some time
So let's smoke it all
Now one day they're gonna end the prohibition
Just like Rosevelt in '33
And there won't be no restrictions
On what it means to be free
But until then we'll just keep on lurkin
Till everyone can see the truth
That it's God's green earth
And if it grows in the dirt
Then it's probably alright to use
Let's go get high
Let's go get lit
I've got some time
And this weeds the shit
Let's go get high
Let's have a ball
Cause I've got some time
So let's smoke it all

Big Trucker
All I ever really wanted was a little bit of love
And a little bit of luck from the big guy up above
And an open road and a healthy foot
All I ever really wanted was to take a look
But they killed my buzz when they busted in
They stole my herbs and drank my gin
And they sent me running for that open road
All I ever really wanted was to be left alone
If I had another chance I'd be with you
But I didn't have a choice so honey we're through
If I had a bigger truck I'd get us out this rut
And we'd do another dance
If I had another chance
All I ever really wanted was a little bit of fun
And a little bit of laughter ad a little bit of sun
And and a little bit of music, and a little bit of wine
All I ever really wanted was a little piece of mind
But they sent me runnin for that open road
And I had to leave you back at home all alone
And I'll be wandering for the rest of my life
All I ever really wanted was to make you my wife
Chorus
Now everyone knows that a hen don't crow
That a horse don't talk and a pig don't sew
Now my own true life, it ain't no fairy tale
So I got's to go
Or I'll go to jail
Jam
Ten thousand miles, and fourty states
And all I've got here is the memory of your face
And it keeps me warm each and every night
While I'm dreamin that one day I'll hold you tight
But this open road, I'ts got me movin on
And I'm hopin that it won't be too long
Till we share our thoughts and we share our dreams
And there won't be all this space inbetween
Chorus

If we could see, that we are all the same
And stop all of the fighting
Then the whole world could live as one
And put an end to the suffering
There's too much us and them
Too much focus on the difference
But we've got to become more,
And start uniting
If we could see, that we are all the same
And stop all of the fighting
Then the whole world could live as one
And put an end to the suffering
There's so much work to do
And o so little time
But we cannot hang our heads
We've got to keep trying
If we could see, that we are all the same
And stop all of the fighting
Then the whole world could live as one
And put an end to the suffering
Deeply rooted like the trees
We can help evolve humanity
And we can never be cut down
We just keep rising
If we could see, that we are all the same
And stop all of the fighting
Then the whole world could live as one
And put an end to the suffering

Undertow
04:07

Breath it out, and breathe it in
Right back to where it all begins
Where there's nothing left to hold
Nothing left to control
You knew you knew something
But it wasn't quite so clear
Hidden in your memories
And clouded by your years
But everything is gonna be alright child
If you can let it go
And just give in, give in to the undertow
Cause you can't run away from yourself
Cause in the end there's nobody else
You can't spend your whole life
Trying to swim again the tide
So breathe it out, and breathe it in
So you can face it when it ends
So you can see a light house when you've lost your way
And you can steer your ship, before it's washed away
Cause the rocks don't lie when they breaking the waves
Your hearts gonna die if you make it a slave
The world will keep spinning, the sun will keep rising
And soon you'll see it upon the horizon
And it all shines before you like a gift in the night
And you don't gotta try, you don't gotta fight
Just give in to the current and watch it release
And watch all your troubles turn into peace
Cause you can't run away from yourself
Cause in the end there's nobody else
You can't spend your whole life
Trying to swim again the tide

Blue Ridge mountains
Paint the landscape of my history
Where all I wanted
Turned into the things I dreamed they'd be
Open highway, take me to that place I've always known
Where lay my loved ones
After all this time I'm coming home
I'm coming home......
There ain't no changing
All the things we went though yesterday
But I ain't complaining
Cause that will never wash the past away
And now I've found it
The way back to those chances that I've blown
Where lay my loved ones
After all this time I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Yeah I'm on my way
Yeah I'm on my way
Ooooooo I'm on my way
I'm on my way
And when I've made it
And I'm no longer living on the run
My claim I'll stake it
Certain as the rising of the sun
You've been with me
In each and every place Tha I have roamed
Cause you're my loved ones
And after all this time I'm coming home
I'm coming hoooooome
I'm coming hoooooome.....
I'm coming hoooooome.....
