Chorus:
I'm on a north bound train
There's an east bound storm
Their coming together
Is this my new norm
I'm feeling warn
Verse 1
Trouble will find me
It always has a clue
Though I salt the path behind me
Always been true
Slow to seek forgiveness
Companion of regret
Suffer from lack of vision
Deepening Debt
Verse 2
I should build me a shelter
Perhaps a country house
Picket fence, porch
Silent as a mouse
Maybe plant a garden
Grow some peas and corn
Chickens and a cow
In nature reborn
Verse 3
Tricks of perspective
Large things seem small
Suddenly I turn around
Now short is tall
Consider me a missing person
Lost but not alone
Dressed to be the understudy
Comfortable at home
Verse 4
In morning comes dawn
Red, blue and green
So many different colors
Painting a scene
Abstract art in the sky
in the form of clouds
Moving ever changing
Sun sometimes shroud
Repeat first half Verse 1
Outro
I'm on a northbound train
There's an east bound storm
They're coming together
Is this my new norm (Three Times)
I'm feeling warn

Dust Bowl Days

Verse 1
1937
Dust bowl had been blowin
Six long back breaking years
Clarence Fine a farmer's son
From northern Oklahoma
Now just another migrant on the road
Dust Bowl Days
Verse 2
Said in California
Man could make his fortune
Packed his only bag and headed out
Didn't have much money
Carried few possessions
What he had was will to beat his own
Dust Bowl Days
Verse 3
Grapes of wrath were growing
Wouldn't be easy
He wasn't going to let them get him down
Picked grapes in Napa Valley
Citrus in Orange County
Saved a little money when he could
Dust Bowl days
Bridge
Saw her at sunset
Filling one more basket
Weary hands resting on her knees
Verse 4
Her name was Anna Maria
To him she was ambrosia
Smile stole his heart away
Three children and a farm
Would be their destination
For a while there would be no more
Dust Bowl days
Verse 5
You may end up lonely
Full of desperation
Sometimes that’s the way it will be
One man he feels cursed
Another feels blessed
Only difference being how they lived
Dust bowl days
Outro
Dust bowl days
Dust bowl days
Dust bowl days

There are two kinds of memories
Some take you in, some take you out
When I’m feeling blue
I know the right route
Spring of 1980
We set out on a course
A stop near Mt. St. Helen's
Before it blew full force
Chorus
Summer in a circle
I remember feeling fine
Campground stories
No pine, sunshine
Verse 2
Lone pine restaurant
Was the only pine around
Food was kind of greasy
The building rundown
Columbia River
It was windy it was hot
New friends, adventures
Escaping, being caught
Repeat Chorus
I was looking for something
For which I could atone
We were homeless in transition
We were not alone
Bridge
Moments and memories
Receding from our source
Lost and falling one day
The next find a course
All things must end
Even perfect summers
Verse 3
October is not summer
It was time to leave
A house and a yard
No reason to grieve
All things must end
Even perfect summers
All things must end
Even perfect summers
Repeat Chorus

Robin Hood (HD Remaster)
03:48
|

|
Verse 1
You could call him a hero
Or call him a thief
Guess it depends
On who you believe
Took from the rich
Gave to the poor
Seldom find his kind anymore
Look around
for his merry men
Where have they gone
Will he find them when
He comes around
To balance the scales
Or will they claim their hands bound
Chorus
Robin Hood will you awake
Is your spirit dead or just on break
Think I know what you would do
Are you real? I fear you’re fake
Verse 2
Thunder and lightning
Part of a storm
No matter the time
Can be bad form
Take from the poor
Give to the rich
Seems we’ve wandered through that door
Money’s the grease
That rides the wheels
Progress and growth
But I can feel
Roughening ride
As money pools
Out of the center and on the wrong side
Bridge
Robin Hood name of a rose
Sweet of scent with thorns that grow
From the stem that we hold
Two edged sword
Raise or fold
Verse 3
Money likes money
Know this is true
History shows me
Clings to a few
Take from the rich
Give to the poor
Money will go back out their door
Outro
Robin Hood to me opaque
Is your spirit dead or just on break
Hard to know what I should do
Am I real? Or just a fake
