Pretty Little Track

Well they locked me up
But I got back out
Now I see you at the pub
While i’m sitting on the clouds
and you thought that i would stay
Crying softly on the ground
But i guess it goes around
It goes around
Then you looked me in the face
Told me that i couldn’t sing
but that’s only cause you’re ugly
And you hate on everything
Go and have another drink
Smoke your dope
And go to bed
Well I asked them could you sing on my pretty little track
But the people that i asked, didnt’t wanna text me back
So the voices that you hear are the voices of my own
And i hope you find it rough cause i sang them through a phone
If this song’s too slow
Maybe you should slow down
would you like a cup of tea
I don’t like to see you frown
You can walk along with me
In this shitty little town
But it really isn’t bad
If you got bills to throw around
Go to bed

Darling

Darling oh darling I know you very well I’ve heard your song
eyes that sparkle could hurt me awful
you’re a darling but you wouldn’t be for long
I am a fool cause I’m 22 and I’d do a lot of things for a darling true
leave my town try to settle down
I’ll find my darling soon but she’s not you
oh my back would surely break and all my habits I’d forsake if I could find someone that thinks the way I do
so when you see me walk think twice before you talk I’ve been around a couple times it’s true
I’ll find my darling soon but she’s not you
working in the sunlight sends my serotonin through the roof darling oh can you tell me where that feeling goes when I think of you
oh my back would surely break and all my habits I’d forsake if I could find someone that thinks the way I do
so when you see me walk think twice before you talk I’ve been around a couple times it’s true
I’ll find my darling soon but she’s not you

Maybe just maybe
You can follow me
We can head towards the camp
There’s much to see
The birds and the rabbits frolic every day and night
When the moon she hits the lake it’s quite a sight
Not a sound all around until we arrive
And to me that’s quite alright
we don’t even have to stay the night
I just have a couple songs I have to write
You and I are more alike than you think
You just want to have a talk and have a drink
I don’t have a lot to give but take a seat
Take your helmet off and rest your weary feet
Not a sound all around until we arrive
And to me that’s quite alright
we don’t even have to stay the night
I just have a couple songs I have to write

Wake up fine
What a little time to be alive
The water’s never been so wet before
Open up the door with the 2X4
Now we’re cookin up a storm
Eating avocados in the morn
We make a little fire just to clear the air
Take a walk to the lake just to wash my hair
See the squirrel in the tree there lookin at me
And the gueese in the sky with their family
Is it good enough for you
Cause it’s good enough for me
Saturday night
People on their buggy’s they arrive
Talking bout the news all the drama and the goods
I forgot there was a world outside of the woods
And we play a couple tunes
singing ti’l tomorrow afternoon
Only stop when we gotta take a leak outside
And i look up in the air and of course I say hi
To the squirrel in the tree there lookin at me
And the ducks in the air with their family well
Is it good enough for you
Cause it’s good enough for me

Is it too early to sleep
It’s getting late in my head
It’s 8 AM and I can’t fall asleep again
And it’s so comfy in my bed
I used to toss and turn
Bad dreams would keep me awake
One vodka cran and 50 millagrams
Thats all I needed to take
Take me way
Into another day
Don’t ever leave me promise that you’ll keep me
Happy every day
The sun just went down
Just finished brushing my teeth
I can’t repair this crazy love affair
It’s finally time to sleep
Take me way
Into another day
Don’t ever leave me promise that you’ll keep me
Happy every day

Peaceful Twilight Zone

All my work
At my home
Is all done
Now i go
I don’t mind
If I’m alone
It’s my own
Peaceful little
Twilight zone
It was built
long ago
It is far
from the main road
Let me know
If you wanna go
for a drive to my little twilight zone
Listen here girls and boys
You dont need, no fancy toys
It’ll hit ya hard, right to your bones
When step inside my little twilight zone
We can bring a few guitars and figure out the tone
No reception in the woods so you don’t need your telephone
All we need is food and water maybe paper for the thrown
We can slip away into the twilight zone

You know Tony Montana
Scar on his face with fancy shoes
Sure he knows how to shoot a Colt AR15
But can he pick the Church Street Blues
You know Tony soprano
He’s the king of jersey and he’s not too nice
His great big cigar, can’t teach him the guitar
They can’t compete with mr tony rice
Oh that green light’s shining on the railroad tonight
If could see it now then i would surely cry
And all these other Tony’s
They’re just a bunch of phonies
They think that they’re the best but that’s a lie
They can’t beat Mr Rice even if they tried
Tony stark flies around the sky saving lives
Killing all of the enemies so great
But he doesn’t know Ricky Skaggs,
and he doesnt know Norman Blake
So what makes these tony’s so great?
Some have guns and some have fun
But Some Old Day my sweet young one
We must all decide who wins the test
Cause they might have jurisdiction
But they are strictly fiction
I think we which Tony is the best
Oh that green light’s shining on the railroad tonight
If could see it now then i would surely cry
And all these other Tony’s
They’re just a bunch of phonies
They think that they’re the best but that’s a lie
They can’t beat Mr Rice even if they tried

In the Woods

Half an hour drive
Just to feel alive again let’s go
You can tell your friends
But only if they’re cool like us you know
You can bring the drinks
I can bring the food and I’ll provide the tunes until it’s time to go
Singing at the camp
mice they run across the beams but I don’t mind they wanna hear the show
When I’m in the woods I feel like I can be the man I want to be
Staring at the lake I see the trees and all the ducks they’re swimming by and often, they say hi to me
when I’m in the woods my friends they come and go and share the stories of their day
Life is good I know it could be perfect once I make it in the woods
Sunday comes we clean it up
but not too well the mice they gotta eat
Put the truck in 4 wheel drive
Unless you wanna push it out the mud until you’re sinkin in your feet
Time it passes fast
if only Monday’s last as long as the weekend
If you have a camp that’s in the woods then why would someone need a job a life a house a car a girlfriend
When I’m in the woods I feel like I can be the man I want to be
Staring at the lake I see the trees and all the ducks they’re swimming by and often, they say hi to me
when I’m in the woods my friends they come and go and share the stories of their day
Life is good I know it could be perfect once I make it in the woods

Someday, we will come again
We’ll do it all again until we meet
some friends that we didn’t have and
We can sing about the water
Let our brains a wonder
Singing all that Zimmerman until the generator
Runs out of breathe dear
Talk about our school year
Monday comes we’ll go to work
And Friday we’ll be back here
