Nancy
my favorite doorgirl Nancy
on a corduroy couch
slapjack's on the table
cigarette's in her mouth
love he comes with an arm of daisies
for you
her pussycat is rubbin'
her head under the bottom of my lip while I'm humming
infatuation's nothing like this
oh god - how i wish it was you
so baby keep it up
never give it up
just try....
back at the house on the second floor
i close my eyes to the sound of more
how can you talk without moving your lips
your smile's the plan i understand
i love you because you're so real
if you struggle when you're down
there'll always be a crawl space to squeeze by
the shotgun memory of a 12 gauge
time has to shoot the sky
Sister, Brother, Mother, Father
get together and try
Everyone hold out for each other
come on get together
plan a little love and make it last forever....
Sister, brother, just try...

out in the open out in the rain
someone come take my hand
if you give me some shelter i'll give you the same
because i'm gonna get to you
it's what I gotta do
once I find a way back into the light
on the phone
she said baby when are you coming home

deep inside she said

my STARSHINE

mississippi sun
ooh it's good to know
there's a place where the sun is shining
and the wind calls home
hey where did you go
I just woke up so I don't remember

all she said to do
is hang on
so I keep hanging on this way
I close my eyes
I am light I am shining
through the rain and cold
so its good to know
things from here will get better
take my hand lead me home
all she said to do
is hang on
so I keep hanging on this way
can someone come and bring
the mississippi sun

who's gonna throw my bones
when I'm all dead and gone
throw 'em for me

KEEP IT REAL
when you're head is cracked
you're feeling
out of whack
and you feel like creeping
you get so close
on your hands and knees
well just breathe slow
it keeps you real
life is catching up
it's all styles
it keeps changing lies
it keeps changing smiles
if you gotta act just like you got big change
just hold on we're all the same
just keep it real
it's all about a bit of money
you look around you say honey oh yeah
all your friends they love you yes they do
no matter how you act no matter what you do
you give 'em the finger and they love that to
just look down at your beat up shoes and
keep it real
keep it real

MONDAY
Wake up and wipe those sweet dreams up from your eyes
give me the smile that brightens my darkened mind
give me one more
start this day right
wake up it's Monday
Tara it's Monday
So life can turn down those side roads you never see
just keep your focus on that straight line to me
no time for left or right
I beleive in the middle line
wake up it's monday
Tara it's monday
Monday for me
is in the middle
Tuesday it seems
just right on time
Wednsday it brings
another city
Thursday to me
never does arrive
Friday I find
my head is spinning
Saturday takes me
back to the starting line
Sunday you'll see
Monday comin'
Monday always
finds that middle line
Monday's always
right on time......

FIREFLY
hammer me gently in the clear moonlight
my sweet sunshine
my sour delight
that last train to Ocala's got me in sight
so i'll ask one time
firefly
your intentions designed to keep me whole
or bleed me more
it's time i said
goodnight
don't waste my time
it's time i said
goodnight
so i'll ask one time
please spend the night
pull me down quickly into faded light
my sweet sunshine
please stay the night
show me everything inside
one more time
firefly
how you shine
your intentions designed to keep me whole
or bleed me more
it's time i said
goodnight
don't waste my time
it's time i said
goodnight
so i'll ask one time
please spend the night
one more time
firefly
spend the night outside under the moonlight
we'll drink our fill under the stars till daylight
firefly
how you shine
please spend the night
one more time
cover me gently in all you see
it's all inside my heart you'll see
tonight i wait at your door
i said tonight i wait at your door...
