Walk With Me
I wrote this song cause I wanted to
See the look in your eyes when I bared my soul
I want you to know how I really feel
There's some things I think you should know
Never in my life have I felt this way
So full of love yet so afraid
I'm hoping you will walk with me
If not then just walk away
I've walked many miles alone
And more without a friend
I have been tripped and felled by my enemies
And many more times by those that pretend
But I'm not afraid to walk alone
If you walk with me I will share your load
I'm hoping you will walk with me
If not then, I think I should go
I don't how how to end this song
I can't tell by the look in your eye
Part of me says you're gonna smile
Part of me says you're gonna sigh
I hope I haven't been too arrogant
Too pompous or unkind
But if you decide to walk with me
I will walk with you til the end of time

Consequences
You better think about it, Brother
How you treat your fellow man
You better think about it, Sister
And get yourself a brand new plan
This ain't no antebellum days
You better think about it
And change your racist ways
There are consequences, Sister
For the things you do
There are consequences
for both me and you
There are consequences
Consequences you might not see
There will be consequences
If you mess with people like me
You better think about it, Brother
About the things you do
You better think about it, Sister
Think about who you're doing it to
You better think about it, Mother
This ain't 1953
There will be consequences
If you mess with my family
You better think about it, Brother
How you treat your fellow man
You better think about it, Sister
And get yourself a brand new plan
You better think about it, Brother
This ain't no jim crow days
You better think about it
And change your racist ways

Life
You caught me crying
in the bright sunshine
On a beautifully sad sad day
My friend of 15 years
Up and walked away
I tried to hide in the shadows
But the sunshine got in the way
I found solace behind an old maple tree
And the breeze dried my tears away
Chorus
Sadness hides in every heart
Don't let it break your day
Life is for the living, child
So live your life away
I had a dog for many many years
We walked the same path every day
We had a love that would not stop
One day she passed away
She rests under that old maple tree
Where we hide from the heat some days
I still walk the path we used to walk
But it just don't feel the same
Chorus
Sadness hides in every heart
Don't let the sadness stay
Life is for the living, child
So live large every day
My mom, when she was a young girl
Was dealt a hard hard hand to play
She got sick when she got older
And slowly passed away
My troubled heart was hurting
I cried and cried for days
One day while sitting under that maple tree
I swear I heard her say
Chorus
Sadness hides in every heart
Don't wish your life away
Life is for the living, child
So live large every day

Kindness
Say I was lonely in the daytime
Say I was lonely at night
Say I was lonely in the afternoon
It won't make me cry
So you won't see me crying in the daytime
You won't see me cry at night
Your won't see me crying in the afternoon
I'll use this time to make things right
I'll use the time I would spend crying
To help those who cry in vien
Instead of my teardrops falling
I'll reach out to those in desperate pain
So don't go crying in your big house
Or live in depression darkened days
Reach out and help someone who has not
And change your selfish ways
Save your crying for the lonely
For children whose hunger drives their days
For the old folks whose dire poverty
Drives all their happiness away
So don't go crying in the daytime
So don't go crying at night
Don't go crying in your cadillac car
Help someone get it right
The sweet taste of your kindness
Will help a poor soul when he falls
The kindness feeds your own soul too
And builds a better world for us all
The gestures of your kindness
Will help some poor soul along their way
And kindness feeds your own soul too
And helps drive all that hate away
Drives all that hate away
Drives that hate away

I'm Gone
All I do is hang around town
With a girl who's always bringing me down
Get outta my way
I'm movin' on
I'm quittin' my job
And takin' the dog
And I'm gone gone gone
Gonna head out for the wide open space
Get the hell outta this place
Gonna clear my head
Fore they find me dead
So I quit the job
And I sold the dog
And I'm on my way
Chorus
If you see me hangin' round
It ain't because I like this town
It's because my car broke down
I'll have to hitch a ride
To happiness now
I'm gonna grab my shit and hitch a ride
Head on out to the wild side
I'm a man on the move
I finally found my groove
I ain't got no job
I ain't got no dog
And I aint' got you
Now you won't see me hangin' round
I finally got out of that town
I went and flagged a trucker down
I'm on my way to happiness now

Clear Blue Skies
Clear blue skies
Warm my soul
Smile in my heart
As I watch my grandkids grow
Years fly by
Tears hey dry
Garden's high
Friends in the heart
Lovers come and go
Money too
Things I should have done
Things I did do
Years fly by
Tears they dry
Spirit's high
Love's in the heart
Eyes grow dim
Smile's still bright
Memories are mixed
I sleep well at night
Years fly by
Tears they dry
Spirits are high
Love's in the heart

Rain
Ride a slow train
Through the night rain
Trying to get back
To where I should be
My sleep was taken
So I sit there awaken and
Full of memories of home
Before I began to roam
So very far from home
As we slow down
Next stop is Sad Town
I spent years and years
walking those streets
Faking a smile
Well all the while
Pining for home
And those sweet sweet memories
When my heart was at ease
Chorus
Some think it's better
On the other side
So fools like us
Take that long and lonely ride
So you push
Your sadness aside
And ride
A little farther down the line
Farther down the line
The sun still refused to shine
You think about your mom and dad
And all the good times you had
Your siblings too
The things you used to do
To help time pass
Have all shattered like broken glass
Chorus
You thought love was better
On the other side
You didn't have to take
That long and lonely ride
If you had only
Kept those home fires in sight
You'd sleep better at night
Ride a slow train
Through the night rain
Trying to get back
To where I should be
