Brand New Song (free) 03:07
Got a brand new song right here A little nothing to place upon your day Til I can hold you near The very idea done take my breath away Because I love you my dear Let's make the most of this time and of this place And never sing no songs About how we gotta move along our way Hey hey hey I never want it that way! If I could sing you a song A little number to take the blues away I would sing it all night long To stop the rain from falling on your day Because you are the only one Who handed over love and never made me pay Until the day you sang that song About how we’ve got to move along our way Hey hey hey I do not want it that way! No Got that same old song right here A little nothing to go with my nothing day Because I really miss you my dear And wish that things had turned out some other way Now all I have got is this song Bout how we moved along and I started to play And I'll never forget this one Gonna hold it close until my dying day Hey hey hey hey hey hey Aint no more I can say

My Internet Connection (free) 03:00
Tried to upload a song for you to hear But it looks like it's gonna take all year The progress bar says only 1% done Woe is me and my internet connection I wait for pages to load while everybody blows me away Can't have no fun at all with a dial up at 56K But I live way out in the boonies And it's the only thing here So I'll be waiting forever more I fear My sweet darling With this sucky connection Simple things take all day Stranded in a Yugo with a flat tire On the information superhighway The world could come to an end And I would never know Too busy waiting for pages to load My sweet darling Tried to write an endearing letter and send it off to you But the email just aint going thru Tying up the phone for no reason isnt any fun Woe is me and my internet connection Oh…

Cold Day Colder Night (free) 02:31
Cold day colder night Missing my darling with all of my might Summer has turned into fall Like my mood that is all Summer has turned into fall Like my mood that is all Time marches after me every day Missing you every step of the way Won’t get me down cause I know that pretty soon I’m gonna look into your eyes And say I love you Oh yes I do Time marches after me every day Missing you every step of the way Won’t get me down cause I know that pretty soon I’m gonna look into your eyes And say I love you Oh yes I do Cold day colder night Missing my darling with all of my might Summer has turned into fall Like my mood and that is all Summer has turned into fall Like my mood That is all

Looking Out My Window (free) 03:07
I looked out of my window Could only shake my head No more green to speak of And all of the trees are dead I looked out of my window As tear came into my eye No more colors left in the world And the blue is all gone from the sky Now looking out of my window Is more like staring down a grave This pretty world that I once admired Has become a dark and scary cave I walk away from my window Can only hang my head Nothing worth looking at anymore Now that everything is dead Until next spring I said Everything is dead

Orange Sunshine (free) 03:21
Everything is alright I'm feeling mighty fine Nobody gonna stick a pin in this little dream of mine Can't stop me from floating around up here on cloud number 9 Ever since I got under the orange sunshine Everything is A-OK and I’m smiling through the rain May be just a little thing but it caused an awful lot of change I’ll tell you Can’t see how anything is gonna ever be the same Ever since I looked at you through the windowpane Now everything is glowing so pretty too But none of it holds one candle to you And if things ever start getting weird Just remember my dear I'm always here for you Won't you take me by the hand? And if you can try to understand My world always has a place for you With a love so real, and oh so very true Everything is alright I’m feeling mighty fine Nobody gonna knock me down from this little dream of mine Can't stop me from floating around right here on cloud number 9 Ever since I got under the orange sunshine Ever since I got under the orange sunshine Ever since I got under the orange sunshine

Sharon (free) 02:51
Went to my job to slave for my pay This beautiful girl just looking my way A sweet little smile is what she gave to me Twenty years later, this mother of three Twenty years later she's everything to me So I love my sweet baby for the rest of my days The one that puts up with my guitar playing ways Always right there for me, devoted and true Just another song to say I love you *** So I love my sweet baby for the rest of my days The one that puts up with my guitar playing ways Always right there for me, devoted and true Just a little song to say I love you Can't wait until she comes home to me today This beautiful lady I love in every way Still got the smile and still giving it to me Twenty years later, this mother of three Twenty years later still everything to me Twenty years later, this mother of three

I always think of you Beautiful lifelong friend Every time that I do I fall in love again Wish I were walking with you Underneath the sun Instead of letting reality Intrude upon the fun Oh… Wish I were singing to you Underneath the moon Instead of missing you And waiting for pretty soon I always think of you Beautiful friend of mine Every time that I do I fall in love one more time Oh… Wish I were walking with you Underneath the sun Instead of letting reality Exclude us from the fun I always think of you Beautiful lifelong friend And every time that I do I fall in love again Oh…

Listen 02:44
Woke up just this morning Got a big surprise It came without a warning Or even sweet goodbye And though I should be fishing The future bright and true Instead I sit here wishing I was sitting there with you Oh yes I do I know I ought to listen To what the people say Instead I'm just resisting The truth in every way And though I should be flying Into a bright new day Makes no sense even trying When I'm looking some other way Go! I hear all kinds of voices Around me every day They make all my good choices Screw the rest I say And though I ought to smile At how it came to be Won't happen for a while Cause you’re not sitting here with me I know I ought to listen To what the people say Instead I keep resisting The truth in every way And though I should be fishing The future bright and true Instead I sit here wishing I was sitting there with you

Walking past the graveyard in the dead of night Tombstones marching by under the still moonlight Everybody is sleeping except for me Except for me That is just exactly how it ought to be I hope my songs don't wake the dead Apparitions flying around my head Lately things have not been going my way Going my way Tomorrow we say hello to a bright new day OK… Inside a city on this bright new day The sun came out & chased all of my trouble away Started to smile cause I was feeling fine Oh mighty fine Happens just that way every time Walking down the road in the dead of night Houses are marching by under the traffic light Everybody is sleeping except for me Except for me And that's just exactly how it ought to be That is just exactly how it ought to be That is just exactly how it ought to be That is just exactly how it ought to be

She stays home all day All the time getting high She’s out of her mind Imaginary dragons fly And so does the time my friend It’s always slithering on by She stays home all day getting high She tells you she is the one who doesn’t cry Doesn’t cry Just waiting for someone to roll by My oh my Take a look at the years my friend They always marching right on by She tells you life is a bitch and then you die Then you die She tells you she is the one who doesn’t cry Doesn’t cry Just waiting for someone to roll by My oh my She watches the time my friend It’s always slithering on by She stays home all day getting high

Every time the rain comes Dropping on my day It pushes that beautiful sun Out of the way Won’t you come along And make everything OK Every time the rain comes Dropping on my day Every time the sun is Shining down on me Everything is alright As far as I can see Love my baby for true And we’re happy as can be Any time the sun is Shining down on me Every time the rain comes Dropping on my day It pushes that beautiful sun Outta the way But then you came along And made it all OK Every time the rain comes Dropping on my day

If you go to California to make your dreams come true Better let me warn you about a thing or two Or maybe just this one thing you should never, never do Don’t disturb the monkey in the Santa Ana Zoo He’s got a secret weapon and it's pointed right at you Better watch out where you're stepping or he'll open fire too If you have half a brain here is what you are gonna do Walk right past the monkey in the Santa Ana Zoo Hell yeah… How I wish I checked out zebras or polar bears instead I had to tease the monkey like some kind of knucklehead I thought it started raining yet the sky was clear and blue Now I'm gonna shoot the monkey in the Santa Ana Zoo I guess I'm gonna to go there after everything is closed I better bring my raincoat cause I'm likely to get hosed With all my heart and soul I swear that every word is true I wish I never went to the Santa Ana Zoo I wish I never went to the Santa Ana Zoo

I've always been patient ‘cause it's all I've known While love and understanding is all I’ve shown I must face the truth that's in front of me When you love someone you gotta set ‘em free *** It’s hard not to cry – Just to hold it all in When you suffer in silence and your smile’s growing thin If the tears start to flow you know they wouldn’t end So I just keep smiling and holding it in I try to hang in there it’s the thing to do Travel down the way of the righteous and true Sometimes entertaining thoughts of escape A fantasy dream as the day evaporates *** No it just isn’t easy to shut off my mind There are too many thoughts that I can’t leave behind And the drumbeat I’m hearing is surely my heart As it cries out in pain while it’s breaking apart. *** I've always been patient ‘cause it's all I've known While love and understanding is all I’ve shown I must face the truth that's in front of me When you love someone you gotta set ‘em free ***

You Are A-OK 02:58
Ever since I was young I could never make decisions Looking at my life like it was channels on a television Every selection has taken me right out of the way Except the one that has brought me to you today Anything that I go through is worth it because of you And I would want to have things no other way Everything that others do can’t approach the worst of you That is why I think you are A-OK That is why I think you are A-OK So here I am right now saddled with my indecision Try getting by on some kind of telepathic intuition Only thing left for me now is to hope and pray The choice I made will bring me to you today Anything that I go through is worth it because of you And I would want to have things no other way Everything that others do can’t approach the worst of you That is why I think you are A-OK That is why I think you are A-OK That is why I think you are A-OK

Desperation 03:50
Desperation etching lines into your face Misinformation flying all over the place Looks like you been having some trouble Keeping the story straight But it’s OK It’s OK Never counted on me Never thought that I would say For what it’s worth I’m sorry You would harbor ugly thoughts that way And if you been having some trouble Getting through your day It’s OK It’s OK Never counted on me Never thought that I would say For what it’s worth I’m sorry You would harbor ugly thoughts that way And so you’re having some trouble Getting through your day And it’s OK It’s OK Desperation etching lines into your face Determination fixing lines firmly in place And now you’re having some trouble Getting your own way And it’s OK Yeah It’s OK

21st Century Lullabye (free) 01:22
Read my lips… America in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts Have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness And we stand together to win the war Against all that is good and just in our world Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no evil and will be open for business tomorrow Fires burning, hu-hu-huge structures collapsing We will make no distinction And no one will keep that light from shining Good night, and God bless anger
