Lyrics:

I live in a blue dream Blue house by a blue stream Blue girl in a blue scene Blue tears, streaming I wish for a new dream New home for my dreaming I’m caught in this blue scene Blue girl, blue world, blue dream. Something in your eyes Sweetness, sadness Thought I noticed something in your eyes Moonlight madness Call it a surprise You envelop me. Something in your smile Watching, waiting Thought I noticed something in your smile -Captivating Stay a little while You’re the hope I need. I live in a blue dream Blue house by my blue stream Oh won’t you come wake me? Blue girl, blue world, blue dream. I’m tired of my blue dream God it’s been a long sleep Oh won’t you come wake me Blue girl, blue world, blue dream.

Lyrics:

Long ago, the wind had just been born He was so young and sweet Ethereal and free of guilt As a boy, with a magnifying glass And a line of marching ants He blew fires all across this land Wind, I can hear you now you old man You moan and groan and howl Wind, you’re no kind of friend I scream, my name to you again When will you grow old enough To listen The wind, grew up to be strong Learned his right from wrong A soft breeze from a stormy day And as a man, spreading seeds throughout the land He traveled far and wide Let the birds rely on him I spend, my nights alone outside Listen to the song The wind brings across the sea But when, I need someone to hear To listen, love, and stay The wind just blows away again

Lyrics:

White line oceans Black top seas I’ve been sailing Mother nature fought with me Her ice and snow Rain and sleet were falling Now my ship it has been docked The crew is gone The anchors dropped out front You slide a glass in front of me Through eyes of green Ask me what I want I want freedom, for one And drinks for two I want justice for all And a shot, for me and you Don’t tell me there’s nothing here You only serve wine and beer Oh no Where’s a man to get a hundred-proof Shot of truth When he’s feeling down and low There must be something in the back I’ll slip it down the hatch No one will know My spirit needs a spirit And elixir A fixer for my soul A bourbon splash in a glass I’m learning fast And living slow And you can pour it over tears Over laughs Over ice, cracked and cold Freedom is a sacred word A seldom heard songbird It holds no fear So what say you, what say I What say we grab this wine Get out of here? And we’ll find freedom And we can find drinks too And we’ll hope for justice A shot for me and shot for you

Lyrics:

These walls are so paper-thin Not strong enough to keep me in Soon I’ll be out of here at last I’ll be hopping trains and hitching rides Spend my nights in smokey dives I’ll be living life, so damn fast They can’t build a wall Strong enough to keep me in And there ain’t no Hellhound in Georgia Gonna drag me back again When that jailer slammed my cell door shut Something in my mind went off I knew I had to get me out of here The thought of a cold whiskey shot Or a woman’s touch is oh so soft It almost brought me to tears So I sold up all my cigarettes I got some tools and few good men Started diggin a hole into the ground And it wasn’t but a week or more When they opened up my jail cell door And I wasn’t nowhere to be found I remember it like yesterday You could hear those sirens miles away They even put a bounty on my head From Georgia up to Tennessee Now the state police they were looking for me Didn’t matter if I was alive or dead So now I’m living life out on the road Some of these nights so windy and cold But I’d never trade it for where I was And if someday they catch up with me And drag me back in custody I won’t even worry because

Lyrics:

I was in the joint in East Detroit Served a sentence in Dallas, Texas I got locked up all over trying to get through Oklahoma And I ain’t been back there since In the slammer in Alabama And Montana, Savannah, and Atlanta In the penitentiary down Memphis, Tennessee I got a tattoo says “I heart mama” Incarcerated in every state Institutionalized along the way Did I happen to mention that my life of correction Started back in Juvenile detention My rap sheet’s a mile long But it’s not why I sing my song No I came here to say there’s been a terrible mistake ‘Cause I ain’t done nothing wrong I’ve been arrested for possession of just about everything From weapons to wild animals, I’ve got breaking and entering Burglary, disorderly, battery, trespassing These are all just cases of mistaken identity Charges dropped in St Louis, picked back up in Kansas City Paroled in Alabama, Probation in Mississippi I’ve been detained, retained, and contained, and jailed But I never missed a court date, I ain’t never skipped bail I’m just a victim of the system, a victim of circumstance They framed me, set me up, tampered with evidence I ain’t never done nothing wrong, I would swear on my mother Except for maybe that one time… and maybe a couple others I was in the joint in East Detroit Arrested down in Houston, Texas Solitary confinement way up in Rhode Island And I ain’t been back there since In the slammer in Alabama Montana, Savannah, Atlanta, Nevada, Nebraska In the penitentiary down in Jackson, Mississippi I got a tattoo that says “I heart Steve” Incarcerated in every state Institutionalized in every way Did I happen to mention that my life of correction Started back in after school detention Yeah my rap sheet’s a mile long But it’s not why I sing my song No I came here to say there’s been a terrible mistake ‘Cause I ain’t done nothing wrong No I ain’t done nothing wrong

Lyrics:

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 Bah, bah, dah, bah, bah, dah We watched it all In disbelief At the trains station on Christmas Eve A tragic tail A gruesome scene A bitter end for the chief of police It was a blessing and a curse Don’t get me wrong could be worse When you wake to find the devil where you sleep Sounds like you got your moneys worth Turns out the chief was on the take He battled demons no honest man could take Made demands he could not fulfill And he got caught with his hand in the till It was a blessing and a curse Don’t get me wrong could be worse When it all comes crumbling down around your feet You could say you got your moneys worth That’s when the chief cam stumbling in With a half empty bottle of gin The west over The shot rang out The bottle shattered as his body hit the ground It was a blessing and a curse Don’t get me wrong could be worse There’s a lesson to be learned You played with fire and he got burned When it all comes crumbling down into the sea They’ll say I got my moneys worth Bah, bah, dah, bah, bah, dah Got my money’s worth

Lyrics:

I think you're sick, and the silent treatment Isn't clearing up the illness you've conceived I had to leave, you know just what you've done And keep doing The sleeping in circles, baby My God how dizzy you must be Well I saw the devil in you And I heard him too In the reasons that you're calling me Just set me free, don't know If I'm asking that Of you or me I know that we don't have to talk But I just don't know why I do When all I hear is the backdrop of The holes in which your lungs and liver dwell Which of my friends you're eying down In some strange attempt at sick revenge to try and make me see what I've been missing And it just might work

Lyrics:

don't we all throw a coin and wish for this? you and I in bed the record’s on we're so cavalier, 'understood at last,' you said, so we were calling out what we think our futures hold but you are the river, and i'm the stone canyon wall you were just, just passing through. morning light reappeared, we'd stayed up all night. the garden lay undiscovered, the trees shared their colors. can't we stay like this for all of time? never. never change your course, never change your mind? but you are the river and i'm the stone canyon wall and you're just, just passing through like the wind through the valley and the sea that scrapes the shore, all those days did shape us because you are the river and I'm the stone and you're swift, and you're strong, and I erode you are the river and I'm the stone canyon wall and you're just, just passing through.

Lyrics:

hide up in the dust with all of time cradled in your hands, buried in your mind. all by yourself in the days gone by; those old golden suns give you light. with a handful of dust and a heartful of ash, you've seen far too much in there shuttered in your past. hide your leery eyes and spurn the rest. like a swallow that dives in the hunt in the twilight you search, chasing what you know you can’t get: the boulder that rolls, the sadness of home, the loss of someone great with a handful of dust and a heartful of ash, you've seen far too much in there shuttered in your past.

Lyrics:

see the shepard up on high underneath his watchful eye flocks sleep well within his sight everyone knows he's a wolf in shepards clothes there'll be blood shed here tonight see the captian at the helm he's the master of his realm searching for uncharted lands all the crew can tell he's confused an underwhelmed lost faith in his commands state his opinion he can't make us think it lead us to poison can't make us drink it we got the number while the captain slumbers we gotta cut him down see the king up on his throne in a castle made of stone well protected from attack polishing his crown while the city's fallin down we're gonna take our city back state his opinion he can't make us think it lead us to poison can't make us drink it we got the number while the captain slumbers we gotta cut him down i'm just a crooked and walks a crooked mile casts a crooked shadow and has a crooked smile carves his own initials into every newborn child i'll be gone when he comes around stranger's unforgiving he's older than the hill she hides inside the inkwell from a jealous lover's quill waits in the moon shine whiskey from an old bootleggers' still i'll be gone when he comes around i'll be gone when he comes around

Lyrics:

when we were kings we were young and we were able laid our cards upon the table and we placed them as they lay back in the day we were stubborn and defiant casting shadows and giants over every living things when we were kings we left our footprints in the sand we held the rains with steady hands we had the world at our commandwhen we beganwe were swimming in the deep endwatching the years go by like weekendsout of the corner of our eyesnow time goes bylost in restless generationssinging songs of celebrations just as loud as we can singwhen we were kingswe left our footprints in the sandwe held the rains with steady handswe had the world at our commandand the end we will stand far from where we beganin the end we will standhere's to the friends that we lost on the journeywatching helpless as they learned the only lesson they could learnthey just turn to the strange and final chapteras the bittersweet rafter finds us waiting in the wingswhen we were kingswe left our footprints in the sandwe held the rains with steady handswe had the world at our commandand the end we will standfar from where we began

Lyrics:

Wonder aimlessly down streets of cobblestone Strong northeastern sends a chill down to our bones Bless the children as we lay them in there beds By early morning we’ll be Catherine Ardin We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil Curse the day this darken cloud came driftin’ in Fill the churchyard with the corpses of our kin Smell of dying travels heavy on the breeze Wretched plague has brought our city to its knees We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil The disease first appeared in our own family And on the 13th of October are youngest daughter age 11 died How precious to our bleeding hearts her dying words The last intelligible words she uttered were a prayer My kind neighbors brought the coffin and placed it at the gate And my son and myself carried her mortal remains to the grave When we were filling in the earth He uttered an expression, which found an echo in my poor heart Father I find it hard to bury our own dead We are now passing through deep waters All prostrate, fearful disease I feel I am an unworthy sinner, but a sinner saved by grace We sing for the ones we’ve buried We sing for the windows and families We sing for the sick and the elder We sing for the children We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil Deliver us from this town broken ashes and we all fall down Deliver us save us all from the curse that weighs upon our door We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil

Take a look at this paperback book Pages all tattered and torn Held together by a blue rubber band Jacket so faded and worn We all need a little change to help rearrange The chapters that make up this book If you need a helping hand now and again I’ll be your blue rubber band Joy in tears throughout all the years Make up this story so far Days like these bring a man to his knees Test the strength of his heart We all need a little change to help rearrange The chapters that make up this book If I need a helping hand now and again Would you be a blue rubber band Baby blue Baby blue Blue Who
