Lost Ships

Heavy Oak made with Old time hands
Hide scrapes the dust like sand
Like getting tossed in the salt and the blood
From some Old Briny Place
Ghosts come along who lost the way back a way
Looking out wasting time while today sinks away
And the cold doesn’t hurt anymore
Running across these datelines
Yeah Feeling just like lead in the early morning light
And the years seem harder than before
Haul away Adios
No one steals my last soul
Forgotten never gone
Like the old things down below
Five to ten yeah Let it ride
Shot at Noon but Can’t add the time
And My wheels turn across all points on the line.
Yeah Five to ten yeah let it ride
My wheels turn along the line

Drifter's Suit
02:47
|

Sitting here in the sun, nowhere left to run
I’m wondering with the thoughts and not the only one
I think I watched it start but I’ll never see it pass
Like a mountain town train running way too fast.
I got all the best views
Along the unknown Routes
Paying top price for my drifters suit
I feel so damn low like a soul paying tolls
They judge it at it’s low but never walked this road
See you can’t pull it up like a pair of work out socks
But I’m living in some dream from along time forgotten
Yeah along time forgotten….
I got all the best views
Along the unknown Routes
Paying top price for my drifters suit
Yeah and rainbow stew
Just some rainbow stew.

Runaway Main
01:36

Up today with quite a boom, I’ll say it’ll make you move
Down there it’s boiling high, which side she chose to fry
I smell the sound of old fuel pumps letting go
I smell the blood of an intake cooking black gold
No stop allegory I’m gonna watch it just explode
Segway’s and bad takes this runaway is gonna make a hole
Well god said kill me a son, but they just lit off number one
I smell the blood of an intake cooking black gold
I smell the sound of old pumps saying adios !
No stop allegory I’m gonna watch it just explode
Segway’s and bad takes this runaway is gonna make a hole

Cutting Hay

Summer way, Down the road
Lies the life that waits for me
In the Hay and rolling Hills
Miles to go in this dust bowl
Where’s there to go or to hide
Dust clouds hide a restless mind
A little ways from Ada’s Opine
Like a shovelhead exit from the homestead
My money wouldn’t stretch that far
But I run to find work on these backroads
It’ll be year before I get too far
Boom town trouble blurs my eyesight
I’ll hide away and leave it all in dust
I’m so fast, well they can’t catch me
I’m so fast, well ya can’t catch me
Like an old song, working hay in the breeze
Fire across the sea, well shores of European
And war time blues, I hope to see it through
Home, I’m coming Home, Dear I’m coming back to you

Watering Hole
03:05

It’s a bad role, head to toe.
I felt low just old.
But oh how low then would I go
There’s still some low oh left to go
Feel kinda old but still got some left to go
Well I’ll set here if ya don’t mind until the low gets up and goes
It’s been too long in my soul,
I don’t mind anymore
I don’t mind to take some ride away out to a cold clear hole
I’m no transplant, just trying to make a life
Living young and wild I’ve walked this creek for miles
Taking my lows and gonna set it down in the cold place below
Down in a hole but I’ll fill it up nice and slow
Down in a hole but I’ll sort it out floating down
Down in a low but I’ll sink it down slow in this ol watering hole
Taking my lows and gonna set 'em down in a watering hole.

Wildest One
03:32

Just some wild rider, never took the fools gold road
Speed keeps it moving, hearts follow her across the room
Any old day she can feel the death song buzz
Steel starts to buckle, she’ll find another on the fly
Rising up over the flames
She’ll get along all the same
She’s the wildest one in this place
Like a big wave rider or old hand out on the desert plains
Not afraid of heart breaking any time you to try to play some game
Any old day she’s drinking the death song buzz
Taking the long wild ride, no matter if the seams come undone
Rising up over the flames
She’ll get along all the same
She’s the wildest one in this place
She’s the queen of the wildest place
Rising up over flames
She’ll get along all the same
She don’t need you to give her rights
She got her own kind supply
She’s gone make her own name
Smiling happy in the rain Gonna be out late tonight
Burn the blues at midnight

Moira's Heart

Oh won’t ya give me a smile
I know it’s been too many miles
We all live in your heart all the time
She said hey babe where ya going tonight
I’ll just head down the road and hope we don’t get in a fight
And in this world I know I gotta go play my part
I hope we don’t break anymore of Moira’s heart
Neighborhood dogs bark late on through the night
There’s so much trouble out and can’t stay outta fights
We’re kids in the road but cars don’t stop or slow
Pretty soon my luck’ll be spent paying tolls
Oh won’t ya give me a smile
I know it’s been too many miles
We all live in your heart all the time
She said hey babe where ya going tonight
I’ll just head down the road and hope we don’t get in a fight
And in this world I know I gotta go play my part
I hope we don’t break anymore of Moira’s heart

Wide Place in the Road

Wide place in the road
Touching nothing but Time
Waited a whole life to say
Ya gotta shake off this ride
Take it all abound babe
On the back of borrowed
Somethings are towed away
And somethings are owed
And old Frames rusting away everyday
Just keeps ya chasing dreams far away
We grew through the truth
Like the old souls of youth
Started driving for days
To find it’s all the same
With your hoarse spoken lines
A pick up that won’t stall
Fight off the liars, Then ya grow mighty tall
90 Miles an hour, Straight for the wall
Ain’t we feeling tall babe
A whistle stop fire ball……

Forever Frontiers
02:30

Before the Railroad lines
Old West was one
A borderless sight
Stretched a Horizon
Same ol type of Earth
That feeds all the soul
But No Roads I know
Can take that way home
Fight to see it now
Maybe Dream it whole
Times like the sun
Stay forever on the run
Fight to see it now
Maybe Dream it whole
We can make it now
Stay forever in the sun

Lucky Strikes
02:13
|

|
Held out for a bit of old and wise end up feeling a little scandalized
Sneaking around some ol Railroad Line, unfiltered unlucky strikes
We can Roam like the dogs far from home
Cause ya can’t keep a wild thing on loan
There’s a million hollers round these towns, click away and use the wifi code
Growing up simple on Grandad’s land that place was lost long ago
We can Roam like the dogs far from home
Cause ya can’t keep a wild thing on loan
And in this role my bedside manner is kinda stoned
I don’t know how to get down the road with this tone
Then Time kills the road somethings guide along this way
Every song a new day
Old stones with no weight
All the Way
