2012
2012 end of the world they say
Mayan calendar ends today
2013 and we're still alive
Kind of a drag sometimes but I guess we'll survive
But I remember,
Back when I was a little guy
They said "Y2K son, we're gonna die"
But something must have gone terribly wrong
Because we're still here, singing this song
I don't care about the way my water gets to me
I just drink it down, just drink it down
2012 end of the world they say
Mayan calendar ends today
2013 and we're still alive
Kind of a drag sometimes but I guess we'll survive

RIVER RISING
I’m a voyager, I close my eyes and surprise I am gone
A good part of the day has slipped away before I return
River Rising, it’s almost at my feet
Where do you go in the night? There is nobody that knows
I heard the other day somebody say they saw you wearing no clothes
River Rising, it’s almost at my feet
I’m a voyager, I close my eyes and I never come back
River Rising

BEACH in CALIFORNIA
I can’t wait to go down,
I am dying to go down
Yes, I’m dying to go down
To a Beach in California
Eucalyptus trees,
A-swaying in the breeze
Oh won’t you please,
Take me down to California
And my, my, my
My lover stays in the bay
It seems to far away
My, my, my
My lover stays in the bay
And it seems to far away
I can’t wait to go down,
I am dying to go down
Yes I’m dying to go down
To a Beach in California
And my, my, my
My lover stays in the bay
It seems to far away
My, my, my
My lover stays in the bay,
Gotta get down there someday

ME & THE MOON
Tonight it's just Me & the Moon
A little alone time has never made me blue
But tonight I'm counting sheep until I'm next to you
You pass by like a shooting star
By the time I've realized, you have gone so far
So I make my one wish and pray that it comes true
I don't lock my doors at night
If you came and stole my heart, it would be alright
And you could escape scott-free into the morning's light
I know you've seen me hanging here
I know you'd like to fall into my atmosphere
And sleep soundly 'neath the stars with Me & the Moon
Tomorrow will be just me and the sun
We don't have plans to hang with anyone
I'm sure you're more than welcome if you'd like to come

YOUNG and IN LOVE
Me and my lady went and found an apartment
Heated it up with so much love, neighbors called the fire department
Fire truck had to come, shining them big bright lights
Go stand on the rooftop, tell 'em everything 'gonna be alright
We're are Young and In Love
Heaven above, Young and In Love
The year disappeared like water down a drain
We could've stayed together but nothing would've been the same
Feet itch, mind starts to wander, thoughts start to roam
But wherever you go you know your heart has a home
When you're Young and In Love
Heaven above, Young and In Love
Me and my lady went and found an apartment
Heated it up with so much love, neighbors called the fire department
Fire truck had to come, shining them big bright lights
Go stand on the rooftop, tell 'em everything 'gonna be alright
We're are Young and In Love
Heaven above, Young and In Love

HIGHWAY 75
Never could relate to the interstate
Drive so fast, go so straight
I am more of a highway kind,
Slow down and enjoy the ride
Oh Highway 75, it’s good to be drivin’ again
Oh Highway 75, going where you take me
On edge in an aeroplane,
Flying across the country again
Up in the clouds, such a lonesome sound
Makes me wish I were highway bound
Oh Highway 75, it’s good to be drivin’ again
Oh Highway 75, going where you take me
Some things are never gonna change,
Destination stays the same
Oh, Highway 75,
It's good to be a-drivin' again
Never could relate to the interstate
Drive so fast, go so straight
I am more of a highway kind,
Slow down and enjoy the ride
Oh Highway 75, it’s good to be drivin’ on
Oh Highway 75, going where you take me
Take me home,
Going where you take me,
Take me home
Going where you take me

COTTON FIELDS
When I was a little baby my mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old Cotton Fields back home
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old Cotton Fields back home
Now it may sound a little bit funny but you didn't make very much money
In them old Cotton Fields back home
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old Cotton Fields back home
When I was a little baby my mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old Cotton Fields back home
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old Cotton Fields back home
Now when them cotton bowls get a-rotton, you can't pick very much cotton
In them old Cotton Fields back home
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old Cotton Fields back home

Can't Stand to Stay Away

CAN'T STAND TO STAY AWAY
She's got a home on the San Andreas Fault Line
Lady's got a home in the danger zone
Though the scientists say the ground's gonna shift any day
I just Can't Stand To Stay Away
She's got long brown hair and deep dark eyes
I love to sit beside her 'neath those California skies
Though the scientists say the ground's gonna shift any day
I just Can't Stand To Stay Away, no
I just Can't Stand To Stay Away
Eight-hundred miles that old fault line runs
And eight-hundred miles there are between us
Eight-hundred miles that old fault line runs
And eight-hundred miles there are between us
Well I'm leaving tomorrow, Highway 101
Do not forget me my dear Oregon
The scientists may say whatever the hell they want to say,
I just Can't Stand To Stay Away, no
I just Can't Stand To Stay Away
I just Can't Stand To Stay Away

BIG SKY STATE OF MIND
I am bound for the big sky country,
It's on my mind
I see Bozeman, Missoula, Helena,
And them ponderosa pines
I am leavin' and there ain't no reason,
Just a change of season
Blowing me that way
Big Sky State of Mind
Is the only kind I find that's fit for me
I am drivin' to Montana
Straight through Wyoming
Ain't no reason, just a season's changed
And I feel like roaming
Eat my breakfast at a little diner
With Patsy Cline singing Wayward Wind
Big Sky State of Mind
Is the only kind I find that's fit for me

Rock Island Line, it's a mighty good road

And if you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line
Well I may be right and I may be wrong
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

DEEP ELEM BLUES
Once I knew a preacher,
He preached The Bible through
But he went down to Deep Elem
Now his preachin' days are through
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
Once I had a girlfriend,
She meant the world to me
But she went down to Deep Elem
Now she ain't what she used to be
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
If you go down to Deep Elem,
Put your money in your socks
Because the women in Deep Elem
Will sure put you on your rocks
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
If you go down to Deep Elem,
To have a little fun
Have your ten dollars ready
When the policeman come
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues

OTHER SIDE OF THE LAW
Once I had me a mother
Even had me a pa
But they up and left me for
The Other Side of the Law
Once I had me a brother
And a sister that I never saw
But they too went away
To the Other Side of the Law
I'm just waiting but I know my time will come
I'll be down on that highway, sticking out my thumb
Yes, there are two sides to the lines we draw
And I'm headed for the Other Side of the Law
I once found someone
She asked me to stay
But all I knew to do
Was walk the other way
I'm just waiting but I know my time will come
I'll be down on that highway, sticking out my thumb
Yes, there are two sides to the lines we draw
And I'm headed for the Other Side of the Law
Yes, there are two sides to the lines we draw
And I'm headed for the Other Side of the Law

HOLD ON (TO YOUR LOVE)
Dark circles under my eyes
Ain't been sleeping, is that any surprise?
Many miles from the one I love
And she is all I'm thinking of
Bartender, won't you fix me a drink?
One so strong I don't have to think
About how lonesome I am today
With my love so far away
Don't know much but what I know
If it feels right don't let it go,
Hold On To Your Love
Typewriter, write me a letter
To my love that I can send
Say everything that needs to be said
And I'll sign my name at the end
Don't know much but what I know
If it feels right don't let it go,
Hold On To Your Love
Barista won't you fix me a coffee?
So strong it'll keep my eyes open
I need what you got in them little black beans
I don't need no room for cream
Don't know much but what I know
If it feels right don't let it go,
Hold On To Your Love
