Please leave me alone



You're usin' me up
You're wearing' me down
You're everywhere baby
You're always around

At first I thought it was so sweet
Now I can't seem to get me no peace

Like walkin' on Egg shells
Like liven' in hell

Please leave me alone
Please lease me alone
Just leave me alone


You're the life guard baby
That just can't swim
You're the school bus driver 
Stinking of gin
You want to steer the ship
But you can't see
Your blinded by love
And I'm your casualty


In my mind I'm floating on an Island
Somewhere where there are no spoken words
Not a word
To be heard

So show me an exit
Point to the sign
Give me a ticket
And I'll be fine
Far far away from the 
Madding crowd
Where the music is playing
Ever so loud

That Little Girl of Mine


She's more than I asked for 
Much more than I deserve
She gives me such lovin'
She rocks my world
Who could imagine
She'ld choose to love me
She's so fine
That little girl of mine
She don't keep no secrets
She don't tell no lies
With just one kiss
My hearts in over drive
She's so understanding
And forgiving too
She's so fine
That little girl of mine
I don't know what this life will bring
But I'm happy just to go for the ride
I don't know what she does to me
but what she does to me is just fine
That little girl of mine
I don't need no Jaguar
or no swimming pool
I got a good women
and soothes my soul
Who could imagine
She'ld choose to love me
She's so fine
That little girl of mine

Just a Bird in New York City


She looks so small you would never know
The strength that she has within
Watch her now as she readies to go
Surrender to the heavens

White clouds hover above so thin
She lifts her head to the sky
She's up and off such a glorious spin
Listen to that songful cry

Now she's up, up and away
On her musical journey
Up, up and away
Just a Bird in New York City

Lilting little melodies
Become huge crescendo
Riffing through steadily
Any way the wind blows

Now she soars higher than
Places  you've never imagined
Who would bet such a song
Could be set to rhythm and reason

Surely this is magic I see
She let's the music set her free
So free

Now she's up, up and away
On her musical her journey
Up, up and away
Just a bird in New York City
Such a bird in New York City

Beneath those constellations


Sun has set
Beyond the horizon
Moon has risen
In the outer realms

Stars shining
Over my head
World is silent
All is peaceful and still

It's a whisper
It's a sigh
It's a moment
You can't pass by
Right here by my side
Beneath those constellations

Crickets chirping
In the dark
Nightingale singing
Now it's twilight

A quiet moment
We're all alone
Everything is calm
Now we're finally home

It's a whisper
It's a sigh
It's a moment
You can't pass by
Right here by my side
Beneath those constellations

Key West Time


The sun is shining
Ain't a cloud in the sky
I got the top pulled down
Got by baby by my side
Take south bound U. S.  one
Headed straight for fun
Leaving all our troubles and worries behind
On Key West Time
Key West Time
Key West
Key West
Key West
Key West
We’re going down to Key West
And have us a real good time
There's a frozen Margaretta
That's calling my name
At a bar in Oldtown
Where we'll rock the night away
Nobody has a care
We'll be working on our tans
Leaving all our troubles and worries behind
On Key West Time
Key West Time
So if you get those winter time blues
Longing for that I love you
Pack you bages and hit the road
You don't need a map
Here's all you need to know
Take south bound U. S.  one
Headed straight for fun
Leaving all our troubles and worries behind
On Key West Time
Key West Time
Key West
Key West
Key West
Key West
We’re going down to Key West
And have us a real good time

The Trickle Down Blues



They said give us a tax break
And we'll give you all jobs
The money will come back to you
It will rain down from the clouds
So we gave them the money
And they hid it all away
And they outsourced the jobs
And they're still laughing today
We got the trickle down blues
'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down
We got the trickle down blues
We got the trickle down blues
We got the trickle down blues
'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down
Once I had a house
But the bank took it away
They kept raising the payments
Until I just couldn't pay
I called the bank for help
But they just hung up the phone
Now I'm headed for a rental
On the poor side of town
We got the trickle down blues
'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle dow
We got the trickle down blues
We got the trickle down blues
We got the trickle down blues
'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down
There ain't no jobs nowhere
We've searched both high and low
But bankers still get bonuses
And we're headed skid row
But the times are a changing
Ain't gonna take no more
They'll be millions of us marching
And we'll knock right on their doors
We got the trickle down blues
'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down
We got the trickle down blues
We got the trickle down blues
We got the trickle down blues
'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down

The End of the American Dream



They tell us it's Democracy
We're terrorists on their soil
Sounds more like Theocracy
But its really about oil
A business is a person
Someone that has wealth
We haven't learned our lesson
We haven't earned our health
Speak up speak up
Time to be heard
Show up show up
Time to be seen
Wake up wake up
It's the end of the American
End of the American Dream
They said "give us a tax break"
And we'll give you lots of jobs
Because we're the job creators
And we hold all the cards
They tell us it's Democracy
We're terrorists on their soil
Sounds more like Theocracy
But its really about oil

A NewWorld is Possible


They've taken our right to negotiate

They won't pay us a living wage

They don't pay fair tax and they operate

Like they believe we are their slaves


We'll if your tired of all their lies

Stand up, join the movement and Occupy

We're gonna change this world

One day at a time, 'cause


We believe, we believe, we believe

A new world is possible

We believe, we believe, we believe

A new world is possible


They perpetuate inequality

They use age, color and sex

They sell our privacy as a commodity

Endanger lives in pursuit of profit


We'll if your tired of all their lies

Stand up, join the movement and Occupy

We're gonna change this world

One day at a time, 'cause
