Magnolia

Start A New

The change of the leaves and the cold in the air helps me notice
No emotion is final and I’ll hear the birds sing my song
So help me out here, cause I’m ready to start a new

To early to say yet but keep the night free
Are you ready for Sundance, moonlight by the pool
In Hollywood canyons or Parisian rues
The best of emotion is coming my way

Thoughts of the road plaque my innocent soul on the journey
Cause I’ve loved and I’ve lost and I’ve risen and fallen without you
And now the corner is turned, the journal adjourned’s making progress
So help me out here, cause I’m ready to start a new

To early to say yet but keep the night free
Are you ready for Sundance, moonlight by the pool
In Hollywood canyons or Parisian rues
The best of emotion is coming my way

I’m in love

So where’s lady luck when your life just sucks let me tell you
She’s looking at you with a smile through those steamed up windows
Waiting to hold you, and bless your soul




It’s Not My Fault

I know she knows it’s not my fault again
I know she knows she balls’d it up again
I know you know you got it wrong back then
You couldn’t see through her and now you’re sorry

She didn’t know just how it would be
Enough is enough so I’ll set you free
You were enamored by her charm
You’re not the first and you’re not the last
You’re certainly not the last
And so she acted the victim and acted revenge
The all American girl has caused quite a stir


I know she knows it’s not my fault again
I know she knows she balls’d it up again
I know you know you got it wrong back then
You couldn’t see through her and now you’re sorry

I gave her a chance one chance too many
But understand this I had to know
Incredible love like in the movies
I’ll write me a book and you will see
Just how it used to be
I thought that you should call
And then I could forgive ya
The all American girl has caused a stir

I know she knows it’s not my fault again
I know she knows she balls’d it up again
I know you know you got it wrong back then
You couldn’t see through her and now you’re sorry



Free

I just can’t wait to get out of this place
Been driving me mad since around quarter past eight
Can’t wait for the weekend to hit
Now it’s Friday I know

I’m gonna be free to know that everything is fine
I’m gonna be free to know I’ve always got the time
And when the sun is beating right down on my face
I feel alive

It makes such a difference to talk don’t you know
Living in silence is not how to be
Speak to me girl make it all go away
And then we can say

We’re gonna be free to know that everything is cool
Gonna be free to know skies are always blue
And when I ride with you my troubles disappear
I feel alive

So everyone is different making different plans
And I cannot deny that
But I’ve got a sneaky feeling that you’ll be coming with me
And you’ll be setting yourself free
Cause all the stress it has to go at least for a couple of days
And now I know I’m free to go, the world is the world is a beautiful place

The stars are all aligned good times on my mind
I’m ready I’m waiting I’m gonna be free

Gonna be free to know that everything is fine
Gonna be free to know I’ve always got the time
When I ride with you my troubles disappear
I feel alive
I’m gonna be free



Satday Morning and Lemonheads

I played a show tonight and I wondered who she was
And then I asked her friend and then she told me
She’d just broke up with him
Who would do such a thing

So I spoke to her and she was cute and she made me laugh
And then we said goodbye with numbers
Well I’ll see you soon back in town
I’ll see you soon back in town

Satday mornings and lemonheads
And breakfast at the restaurant back in town
Satday mornings and lemonheads
And breakfast at the restaurant back in town

I took my eye off the ball in haste for a crazy situation
I know I made the wrong choice cause
She’s just what I needed Stupid sometimes

Satday mornings and lemonheads
And dinner at the restaurant back in town
Satday mornings and lemonheads
And dinner at the restaurant back in town

Satday mornings and lemonheads
And sushi at the restaurant back in town
Satday mornings and lemonheads
And sushi at the restaurant back in town

She is such a good girl and I hope she holds a candle still for me



Float Like A Butterfly Sting Like a Bee

Jumped on a plane from Green Bay headed out to LA
To see my attorney and see if he could get me a deal
California here I come margarita’s in the sun
Went to the rainbow room with my mate Jenny Labow

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
It’s almost half past 12 and I’m already leathered
I live the dream cause I’m finding out
What’s really going on out here

Got an invitation to party on a Satday night
If I’m not playing somewhere I’ll join you and your traveling show
And all the girls they said to me that they were happy as can be
I must admit I do my best I really failed the test

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
You can trust me with your business when I’m motivated
I, I live the dream cause I’m finding out
What’s really going on out here, out here

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
It’s almost half past 12 and I’m already leathered
I live the dream cause I’m finding out
What’s really going on out here


How Long?

How long can I go before I redeem my redeeming features and
How long can I go before my star comes in?
How long does it take for you to come around and support my point of view?
How long does it take for you to set the stage?

How long can I go I’ve always been a sucker for a pretty girl
How long can I go before you explain what it’s all about in a bit
How long does it take for this roast dinner to be on the table, and
How long does it take for you to call me back?

How long can I go singing all these tunes without the song sheets, and
How long can I go before I cash my chips in?




Hijacked

Those girls in Stillwater they hijacked me off to a place right after the show
Walked to their house and cracked a bottle of jack
Those college girls were larger than life

I’m gonna be high, and get myself by
I’m gonna be high right to sunrise
I’m not gonna stop not gonna give it up
Cause I know its gonna be alright
Smile cause it’s all you’ve got
Not gonna give it up
Cause I know its gonna be alright

Took a hot shower to wake me up
A salad for lunch, gotta keep myself in shape to conquer the day
I look forward to romance and a smoke on the pipe
Gotta get my groove on and the limits the sky
Here come all those jaeger shots and here we go again
I think the one in the red tops checking you out

I’m gonna be high, and get myself by
I’m gonna be high right to sunrise
I’m not gonna stop not gonna give it up
Cause I know its gonna be alright
Smile cause it’s all you’ve got
Not gonna give it up
Cause I know its gonna be alright

Live for the moment live for the dream
You could be a waitress or a desert island queen
So don’t maybe this and don’t maybe that
I’ve had too much bloody drama to be sitting on the bench
To do what is right don’t give up the fight
Enjoy yourself baby and be a smiling lady
I’ve always been a sucker for a pretty face
But make no mistake I won’t be settling for the next

I said, I’m gonna get myself by
I said, right to sunrise
I’m gonna be high, and get myself by
I’m gonna be high right to sunrise
I’m not gonna stop not gonna give it up
Cause I know its gonna be alright
Smile cause it’s all you’ve got
Not gonna give it up
Cause I know its gonna be alright
Don’t let it go to waste



Blues Myself

I should have seen it coming since I got off the phone
I should have seen it coming since you got off that plane
And if you’re leaving me baby please don’t call me in vain
I’ll blues myself

Should have seen it coming since you came to stay
Should have seen it coming by the look on your face
If you’re leave me baby please don’t call me in vain
I’ll blues myself
I’ll blues myself

Don’t apologize for the rain it’s not your fault
And if you’re leaving me baby please don’t call me in vain
I’ll blues myself

If you’re leaving me baby please don’t call me in vain
I’ll blues myself

Should have seen it coming by the look on your face
Should have seen it coming since you were around

If you’re leaving me baby please don’t call me in vain
I’ll blues myself
I’ll blues myself
I’ll blues myself
I’ll blues myself



Sunshine

Well I’ve got sunshine and you’ve got rain
I’ve got romance revving through my veins
I’ve got something playing on my mind
You’ve got something, something that you want to say

I’ve got sunbeams streaming down to my heart
And I know this cause I felt the from the start


I’ve got romance feeling deep inside
When I’m chilling just laying back just sitting back
I’m feeling myself free, and that’s what it’s all about
And I’m knowing I’m knowing that you’re feeling it too

Because, well it’s a certain understanding
That will see it through

And you’re looking you’re looking for something new
That’s, that’s



She had to Leave

So she had to leave I couldn’t take no more
Although I loved the girl she’s gone
My dreams are full of her but I can’t dwell no more
And now I’m back here on my own

I need to let it out she broke my heart again
Although I loved her so I had to let her go
Now it’s too late for us I gave my heart and soul
I hope she knows just what she’s done

Had some smokin times pretty much the best
When we were good we were on fire
She was so beautiful but wrong inside her head
I really did my best well I know

I need to let it out she broke my heart again
Although I loved her so I had to let her go
Now it’s too late for us I gave my heart and soul
I hope she knows just what she’s done

I don’t hate you girl for what you did
Don’t run away that’s where you’re going wrong
And I still believe you’re who you wanna be
Just take some time so you can get it right



In A Little While

In a little while I’ll be making some progress
In a little while I’ll be finding my feet
In a little while I’ll be making good money
In a little while I’ll be finding my way

Hold me in your arms cause I’ve been searching
For someone like you
And if you’ll just wait and see me in motion
I’ll be finding, finding my way

In a little while I’ll be feeding my children
In a little while I’ll be happy with me
In a little while I’ll be making you joyful
In a little while we’ll be riding our wave

Hold me in your arms cause I’ve been searching
For someone like you
And if you’ll just wait and see me in motion
I’ll be finding, finding my way
My way
My way

In a little while I’ll be finding my way


A Love

Well I’ve got a love tall as a redwood
I’ve got a love as high as the sky
And I’ve got a love that will go on forever
General Sherman would open his arms

Well I’ve got a talent sent down from heaven
I’ve got a gift that I’ll use everyday
Cause this is my place my place in the system
Using the wisdom that I learned on the road

I got a sweet sensibility and a burning desire
An existence so different but perfectly charmed
And I hold you in the best regard
As the power will touch you entrance you and light the way
That’s right, oh that’s right

I’ve got a touch you’ll remember forever
As I hold you the world is your friend

Cause’ I’ll save you if you’d only save me too
So let’s hear those notes forever as the waves roll away

So as I wake I wake in the morning
With you laid laid right by my side
Find some serenity from the warmth in your heart
Cause you love me just as much if not more than myself
