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
