Where Mine Used to Be

Posted: January 10, 2018

I find myself in uncharted territory What happens next we’ll just have to wait and see I’m a stranger in a strange land Gave it all up to be free Give me your heart And I’ll put it where mine used to be Put your faith in this broken man you see He has the […]

Their World Now

Posted: January 10, 2018

We became invisible Quite some time ago But ah we once were men Let the record show We blazed our paths through time Until time was done with us Now our replacements ask We go without a fuss We look at the young girls And our hearts must make a vow To never say a […]

The End of Days

Posted: January 10, 2018

Ugly people in pretty places The pain of now on ancient faces Everywhere the story’s the same History dies façades remain Is this the end of days Am I awake or dreaming Is this the way the world will end Fast asleep but screaming New Jersey hair and a Hollywood face So-called style that has […]

The Likes of You and I

Posted: January 10, 2018

The way it was – the way it is And the way it soon will be Might as well be different worlds For the likes of you and me Some people stay in one place It’s here they live and die But life is not that simple For the likes of you and I There’s […]

The 12th Bar Blues

Posted: January 10, 2018

I got the 12th bar blues Ah they’re pounding in my head I’m feeling like tomorrow I may wake up dead Her name was Margarita Hair as black as night If she came to you no man alive would put up a fight There’s a cowboy in the corner Fast asleep beneath his hat He […]

The Dreams of Men

Posted: January 10, 2018

Somewhere in the past there’s a reason Somewhere a word we didn’t say Somewhere the road not taken Somewhere a price we didn’t pay Somewhere a promise was broken Somewhere a heart broke too Somewhere a pain crossed over From me to you We can never know what happened Ah we never will We can […]

Something You Want

Posted: January 10, 2018

Time is a coward and just runs away Says I’ll be seeing you some other day There’s always a price to pay For something you want I’ve seen that look in your eyes They take it on when you’re telling lies Somewhere the real you cries There’s something you want Do I have something you […]

Reality Will Break Your Heart

Posted: January 10, 2018

There’s not much I haven’t done And even less I haven’t seen I’ve been all those places And the stages in between But a mutual friend Said keep myself apart Dreams may not be real But reality will break your heart After you have changed the world After you have said it all It’s okay […]

Remnants

Posted: January 10, 2018

Lying in the remnants of the night before We have no idea What we were hunting for We don’t love each other That much we agreed Here in the remnants of the chemistry of need Picking up the remnants of feelings torn apart We blame the dark desires We blame the foolish heart Not many […]

One Day At A Time

Posted: January 10, 2018

Ain’t looking forward – ain’t looking back Don’t know who I am – I lost track I got lost in the sea of souls In this charade I played many roles I know the sky ain’t falling I know it’s not a crime To live your life one day at a time Ain’t asking questions […]

Next Time Around

Posted: January 10, 2018

Have you heard What some folks say We will be reborn Part of me Wants that chance To heal what I have torn I’d cross myself (If I believed) I’d swear on sacred ground We’ll get it right – trust me baby Next time around We’ll get it right – trust me baby Next time […]

My Father’s Son

Posted: January 10, 2018

Taller than you by the age of twelve Took me years to understand It’s not in feet and inches That you measure a man All that I want said of me When all is said and done I was my father’s son I was my father’s son I couldn’t like the things you liked No […]
