Dancing on the Blues

I know it all sounds tired
but I been on the road a long time
days are surely gone now
I could turn on a dime
I could use a dollar
but I’d rather commit a crime
The toys of youth no longer
hold my attention
though I was stronger then
no need to mention
now it’s my intention
to avoid dementia
and whomever sent ya
dancin’ on the blues
got stardust in my shoes
ain’t no fools like old fools
so they say
Dancin’ on them blues
stardust in my shows
got nothin’ left to prove
Things happen, don’t know why
seeps up from the ground
falls out of the sky
here on this merry-go-round
where we laugh and sigh
tell our stupid jokes and cry
when you got an old car
stuff wears out, falls off
some folks pay a lotta money
try to get back what they lost
gotta face the days are past
for that new car smell
Me, I’m gonna drive my car
all the way to hell

Good for Nothin'

Yesterday my girl
tells me I’m good for nothin’.
I did not understand;
seem to me I’m good for somethin’.
I am just a man
who needs to make a new plan.
This mornin’ my boss
told me I’m good for nothin’
but he doesn’t understand
this job ain’t worth nothin’
I do what I can, but
I can’t make silver out of sand
Today I quit my job
cause it was good for nothin’
Today I left my girl
cause she thinks I’m good for nothin’
I will leave this town
because it’s good for nothin’

I so cool
I ain’t no fool
telling no tales out of school
I
just get along
don’t go where I don’t belong
Got to be fast in this world
to be strong
Life is temporary
Life is temporary
Life is temporary
only got so much time to be
You can say
you can’t stay.
Come on in anyway
You
know what to do
Deep inside you decide
don’t matter what you tell them as long as it’s true

Vegan pastrami
ain’t meat
Whiskey and rocks
ain’t neat
baker’s chocolate
ain’t sweet
most birds don’t talk
they tweet
when you stomp you use
your feet
you hear sheep when
they bleat
no birds die when ya
shoot skeet
need a drummer to keep
the beat
You ain’t what you eat
You ain’t what you drink
You ain’t what you hear
You ain’t what you think
when you chew, you use
your teeth
If you forget to study, you
might cheat
what you don’t lose
you keep
when you do wrong you might
lose sleep
you could be a wolf or
a sheep
don’t say a word, not
a peep
take a chance, make
the leap
don’t be shallow
be deep

Everyone is an Island
03:08

|
Come with me now
to a special place
Leave your past behind you now
Move into your space
In this mortal plane
everyone is an island
together
islands in the ocean
Stay with me now,
my island friend.
Nothing is forever
but we can pretend it will never end.
