Dakota Bear and the Dangerous Love Song
The sign on the wall, read gun for hire
We were standing there
Because we had a flat tire
There was fighting down the hall
Sounded like a gospel choir
Dakota bear said hey Dave
Let’s check this out
Let’s check it out
Tail waggin come on.
We were halfway there
When the shots were fired
I wanted to run
But I was frozen with desire
As she walked on by
With that big bag of money, she just acquired
Dakota bear just smiled
And took his lipstick out
There was no doubt
About it this time
We were in love
She said if you’re a seller, baby, I’m a buyer
I said I’m not really sure if I’m improper attire
She said just drive my car
We head down south and we’ll both retire
Dakota Bear just lifted his leg on our flat
And that was that
We ain’t coming back this time
I’m truly gone
She yelled, I need a lover
Who’s not a liar
About that time, my pants caught on fire
Didn’t seem like much
The woman would really require
Dakota bear reminds me
She’s got a gun
Oh yeah, she’s got a gun
Drop me up at the corner, hon. I forgot something.
Garden of God
Hey there, angel
How’s your garden grow?
I hear you found some good ground now
You’re going to reap just what you sow
Gonna bring home a harvest this time
Something to call your own
Something for those cold winter nights
Something to keep you warm.
We can give it some water
We can pull some weeds
We can give it lots of room
And keep our shadows off the seeds.
Hey there, angel
We’ve both been here before
But it’s a brand new season
Maybe even the one we’ve been waiting for
Things happen for a reason
But we can check all that at the door
Cause when I have a moment with you
I’d be a fool to want anything more
We can give us some water
We can pull some weeds
We can give it lots of room
And keep our shadows off the seeds
The past is always close behind
So many things that I forgot
Storm clouds brewing in our minds
Sometimes it rains in the garden of God.
Hey there, angel
Look at how this gardens grown
Maybe we should put a hedge around it
Even good things get out of control
We can take it easy
Take it nice and slow
Enjoy all the flowers
Feel every breeze that will blow.
We can give it some water
We can pull some weeds
We can give it lots of room
And keep our shadows off the seeds.
Tin Roof
There’s something in her smile
There’s something about her touch
I’ve never been so blind
I’ve never seen so much
I’ve never been so lame
And still been somebody’s crutch
She’s so fine
I would cross that line
To get there anytime
Another sunny day
The rain is just pouring down
She’s got so much to say
She never makes a sound
She always leaves me better
Than the way I was found
She’s so fine
She blows my mind
Nearly every time
Now she’ll never look at me the same
She seen my wreckage
Knows that I’m to blame
Another sunny day
I feel a bit more sane
Like that tin roof singing
In the pouring rain.
There’s something about her smile
There’s something about our touch
I’ve never been so blind
I’ve never seen so much
I’ve never been so lame
And still been somebody’s crutch
She’s so fine
She blows my mind
Each and every time
Each and every time
Each and every time.
Ethel
She sweeps the kitchen
With her eyes
6 AM and that rooster is crowing
He comes stumbling and drunk
Full of lies
She nods in agreement
To every word falling out of his mouth
Makes his breakfast
Takes his beating
And still makes it to work in an hour.
She’s a mighty fine seamstress
Works in a factory all the same
She says, sometimes she likes
Being a number
Better than being a name
She dreams of departure
Lies about the bruise She has on her face.
Her girlfriend says
“Ethel, meet me in the parking lot. I’m gonna lend you my 38“.
She sweeps the kitchen
Trying to keep the red dot
Between the posts
Faithfully remembering
To switch the safety off
So she can turn this nightmare
Into a ghost.
They’re dragging the river
Rumor has it he might have been thrown from the pier
They checked his address
A battered woman
In a torn stained dress
Whispered through her quivering lips
No sir, my man ain’t here No more.
She sweeps the kitchen
With her eyes
6 AM and that rooster is crowing
As her tea kettle softly cries
She sweeps the kitchen
With her eyes
With her eyes
With those eyes.
Jacob’s Song
May your days be bright and beautiful like you
May your mind be clear
May your heartbeat strong and true
May you always know my love Is there with you
May your days be bright and beautiful like you
May your days be bright and beautiful like you
May your eyes see clearly
May your mouth be full of truth
May your heart believe for sure
Not requiring proof
May your days be bright and beautiful like you
May your days be bright and beautiful like you
May your past be gone if it’s not serving you
May your future be filled with skies so blue
And may your days be bright and beautiful like you
May your days be bright and beautiful like you
Bright beautiful boy
Mackenzie Rose
Every day she’s a brand new person
Full of compassion and love
She’s got that piece of my soul in her eyes
She’s chopping through this hell
Knows there’s got to be a heaven above
As she experiments on me
With affection and lies
She’s a grown woman she can care for herself
I pray for her best and then I let her be
She can take a stand be right or wrong
I’m her biggest fan
She’ll always be an angel to me
She’s rock ‘n’ roll, but she knows how to waltz
She knows all the rules she likes to see how they break
She knows that life isn’t fair
So she just changes her hair
Nobody owns her
She learns from mistakes
She’s a grown woman she can care for herself
I pray for her best and then I let her be
She can take a stand writer wrong. I’m her biggest fan.
She’ll always be an angel to me
She makes my heart so proud
I love to call her name out loud
I remember the days when she pretend not to hear it
I just guide her along, but these days she’s writing her own songs
It’s been an honor to nurture her spirit
She’s a grown woman she can care for herself
I pray for her best and then I let Her be
She can take a stand be right or wrong
I don’t give a damn
She’ll always be an angel to me.
Spanish Rice
She said my voice was full of agony
Then she sat right down and threw her arms around me.
We crossed that river after midnight
And it seems like a pretty good start
I never knew a bowl of Spanish rice
Could heal my broken heart
Now she moves just like a gypsy to me
And some nights she’ll sit on down
She’ll ask me how my kingdom is doing
And offers me a crown shot
The best, all the best she says the best is always nice
Sometimes the best gets served with a bowl of Spanish rice on the side maybe tonight
She makes it from a box
She serves in a bowl
There’s never anything more
She always leaves me full
I get me some sugar sometimes
I wouldn’t mind some spice
You can’t always get the best Dave
But the best is always nice
The night is darkest boy
And the dawn is coming with some price
But she knows I’d sell this tattered soul
For one more bowl of Spanish rice
Maybe tonight
Hell, any night!!
She makes it from a box
She serves it in a bowl
There’s never anything more
She always leaves me full.

Zipporah
Pine tree sap, and the honey bee pollen
Yeah, this earth it’ll let you know
Everything is going to be OK
The bird that sings her lullaby
The north wind a blow
And when the ocean splatters
All it’s cool seashells
You will find…
The heart that holds us together in love
A heart that holds us together in love
There’s a heart that holds us together in love
And we all share it
Pine tree sap, and the honey bee pollen
Yeah, this earth it’ll let you know
Everything is going to be OK
The bird that sings her lullaby
The north wind a blow
And when the ocean splatters
All it’s cool seashells
You will find…
The heart that holds us together in love
A heart that holds us together in love
There’s a heart that holds us together in love
And we all share it
