My Turn To Rest
03:44
|

driving through the desert
beneath the orange moon
stopped at a station
gasoline maroon
that’s how it goes tonight
speeding down the highway
you're on the radio
only I am listening
old time gospel show
calling my name tonight
oh
made it to the river
through the witching trees
going deep under
to the mother sea
into your arms tonight
sailing through a white squall
to the stars above
soaring over dark clouds
a crowing turtle dove
I’m coming home tonight
oh
walking through the valley
there is nothing to fear
comfort in the knowing
you didn't shed a tear
my turn to rest tonight

More Or Less

like one and one is two adds up
judging how much is in the cup
like an eager little pup
and we're not quite used up
like we're always going to change
like a buffalo on the range
like a genuine exchange
and everybody's strange
you're so much more or less a lot like me
sitting on the shore looking out across the sea
you're so much more or less a lot like me
letting it soar, as far as the eye can see
like the sun that shines each day
like the swan that's bound to stay
like everybody loves to play
and the world and what it weighs
you're so much more or less a lot like me
sitting on the shore looking out across the sea
you're so much more or less a lot like me
letting it soar, as far as the eye can see
oh
like your children make you proud
like you're gonna shout it out
like hearts drift by in clouds
this is how you keep your vows
you're so much more or less a lot like me
sitting on the shore looking out across the sea
you're so much more or less a lot like me
letting it soar, as far as the eye can see

Wayfaring Stranger

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
traveling through this world of woe
there is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
in that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is hard and steep
but golden fields arise before me
where burning eyes no more will weep
I'm going there to see my mother
she said she'd meet me oh when I come
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
and I’m swallowed, whole completely
cause I know they buried me deep
but now I walk beside my loved ones
with the memories that I keep
I'm going there to see our sister
going there to see our brother too
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

Told You So
03:47

|
mama never loved me like Citizen Kane
and daddy didn't care for my piercings and pain
so I wandered the railroads and followed the moon
your hand is a beacon that I won't see soon
nodding on poetry, cooked in my lies
bum another cigarette look straight in my eyes
there's a dirty little secret that I called my soul
then we got together and I told you so
whoa - oh - oh - oh
if the drink is a river I'm looking up through the weeds
I'll pull down your bottom like a hero's great deed
I'm drunker than Jesus and all full of hate
I'll kick up a bar brawl with bikers and fates
drowning in whiskey, soaked in my lies
pour another shot and look straight in my eyes
there's a nasty little secret that I called my soul
then we got together and I let you know
whoa - oh - oh - oh
when I find my higher power
I’ll start all over again
