Rainy Day (Hello) [instrumental] [Hadley]
Listen [Hadley]
Well I suppose you can tell my name ain't Lynyrd just by lookin'
And I suppose some Nashville world won't open with my key
Still you'll find it easy finding something's cookin'
Tell me that's no reason to listen to me
The bright lights don't scare any part of this heart my hands don't tremble
I've found tools that do the job as you can see
Everything gets brighter when these crowds assemble
Tell me that you should not listen to me
Babe I've had my eye on you as if no one else were there
Yeah there's a price to pay you charge a ransom fee
The way I feel about you will be making people stare
You're the one driving them too: listen to me
Stop for just a moment take a look around
We're so packed to the gills tonight the world-soul full of sound
Ain't no joker keen enough to pull my spirits down
Aw go ahead: listen to me
Won't you say how long I'll wait in line and why you hold me there?
I keep climbing just to fall back to the bottom of your tree
This dirt is too familiar and more: it's less than fair
We can dig it up right now: listen to me
Don't talk to me of brown-eyed girls or tropic drink mishaps
You've had you share of dancing in the moon for free
In real life living good-heartedly never is a snap
And that's one more reason too: listen to me
Babe I've had my eye on you as if no one else were there
Yeah there's a price to pay you charge a ransom fee
The way I feel about you will be making people stare
You're the one driving them to listen to me
Oooooooooo listen to me!
Gypsy Girl [Hadley]
She walks with sunlight bandannas in her hair
Comes from the hill country located south of here
She shows some education shows her spirit keen to raise
Fists for good causes then she skips
She hums while working then serves the homeless food
Sighs and glances skyward when the workmen treat her rude
And she giggles and she argues moves when she wants
And she wants to move
Gypsy girl you're on your way Gypsy girl you're on your way
How she dances!
She's a little bit country and she's a little bit Hungary
And once she lived in L.A. – for a week
She doesn't need a man (who came & went)
She doesn't need a home (she'll do with a tent)
And sometimes she forgets that she will need to sleep
Gypsy girl you're on your way Gypsy girl you're on your way…
How she flies!
Another Horizon for Me [Caceres/Hadley]
Today I caught a glimpse lost it and now ever since
A feather's floating somewhere in my brain
It tries me like a train
The tracks lay down like sleeping pups And from its kitchen steamy mugs
Are served with smiles mis-mischievously
Life really is a child isn&'t she?
Ohhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh
And now once more you see Another horizon for me
My growing up was never fast I don't think it's meant to last
But night-time has a way of mixing names
One thing's often not the same
The moon has been my favorite Gasping when the stars unzip
You really will feel better coming clean
Say exactly what you mean
Ohhhhhh…
My insides are an open road bricked and beat and bent by goads
Of stone of steel of flame of twisted tides
My wheels run flat then fly
On wings we can much better see even if not finally
And you know I'll just lose it in the end
But here we go
Back to the start - yeah
Here we go again
Na na na na na na… Another horizon for me
Na na na na na na… Another horizon for me
Show Me Your Tattoos [Hadley]
It was after a show late afternoon we'd had our time to play
She came up to me with festival eyes said I've got something to say
I looked her up and I looked her down and I really wasn't through
She winked and grinned and said Boy I've got something for you
And I wondered I really wondered yes I did
I liked the way you sounded I think you're pretty good
I've got a little offer take me up on it if you would
She laughed and leaned in close her mouth crept to my ear
Her lips were cool her breath was warm and this is what I heard
Show me your tattoos and then I'll show you mine
Show me your tattoos if you've got time
Show me your tattoos boy I'd really love to see
What you haven't shown show me yeah
Well I wasn't exactly sure just exactly what she meant
You find strange things in music not half are heaven-sent
Just what commitment could I be getting myself into
And how did she even know I had one?
Well I wondered I really wondered yes I did
She took my hand and held it low and blinked her teasing eyes
I took a breath and looked around then flashed my front-man's smile
She laughed and pulled me closer said, Don't take too long to choose
There's two little words available which one will you use?
Show me your tattoos...
The sun was slowly setting our work was done that day
And you know yes you know just what I said to her
But that was long ago and now it seems now no matter how well I play
I'm still waiting for someone else to come up and say
Show me your tattoos...
C'mon [Hadley]
I heard a man sing an old song
He said things ain't so all wrong
That word rang like a big drum
In my head now I got a new song
Life looks like it ain't so wrong
Now I'm a-gonna share that song
Why did I think it all so wrong
Why did I feel it so long gone
I'd like to stay for another dawn
C'mon come-uh come-uh come on – yeah
C'mon come-uh come-uh come on - yeah
Life ain't so very very wrong
I sing and I'll sing-uh this song
Let's all sing-uh sing-uh this song
C'mon a-come-uh come-uh come on – yeah
C'mon a-come-uh come-uh come on – yeah
Flyin' the Backroads [instrumental] [Caceres]
What Will It Take [Caceres/Hadley]
Well you're running thru time with a big old blindfold guiding your way but you can't see day light reeling you in by your chinny-chin-chin-chin Stickin' way out with a semi-perm pout knockin' on a brick wall that ain't never gonna fall cuz you won't ever fall cuz you ain't never gonna crawl that way there's no way
Then you say you got a plan with a voice like a man-child can't explain (damn!) and there's a hell of a pained look painted on your face and we see small traces of a put-out fire long ago expired now you're poking in the ash like a bum in the trash bin never getting filled up ‘cause you feast on never-has-beens: what you finding? you ain't finding nothing - no!
And so I'm asking...
What will it take to make you happy (make you happy) make you happy (make…)
When there is so much?
What will it take to make you happy (make…) make you happy (make…)
Care to explain to me? Explain to me!
Well you say moths like you cold winds spite you bad boys won't fight you you're all good hmm why your face is frowning even when you're clowning can't get back to town in a better mood - as if an open look were little more than lewd for such a hot stance not a chance you can't get this man to dance dude - such a cool cool dude
But your life ain't so trippy eating your skippy sucking that sippy get in touch with your hippy, Jude – what you thought was so crude might make you nude and burn off that brood and serve you up some food and bubble up some crude and get you all unglued and you should like it mmm you've got to like it – hey, do you really wanna be begged by the truth?
Uh huh we're asking...
What will it take to make you happy (make you happy) make you happy (make…)
When there is so much?
What will it take to make you happy (make…) make you happy (make…)
Go see Kitty now: she's serving – and how!
I won't shake your hand with any master plan but light shows angers of suburban man quick as they come you find they're gone turn the TV on ‘cause it's a lot more fun But that's being done long before you done oh turn back on to what's almost gone ‘cause there's still hope y'uns
And so we're asking
What will it take to make you happy (make you happy) make you happy (make…)
When there is so much?
What will it take to make you happy (make…) make you happy (make…)
why not try philosophy?
Where the Sun Goes [Hadley]
Do you know
Where the sun goes
When it falls down
When the night comes ‘round here?
I still go
Much much too low
When I fall down
When the night comes ‘round here.
I don't know
Where the sun goes
When it falls down
When the night comes ‘round here.
Would you choose
To go – with me too -
To where we'd fall down
When the night comes ‘round here?
Makin' You Look So Bad [Hadley]
You're doing it again like those dozen times before
Dishing it out well after you said would no more
You're doing it again now the mockingbird will sing
Of faded trails and broken fences and angels losing wings
No no no No no no
No words can build a bridge where a river's gone as wild
And now it's only whimpers you can make ‘bout having style
You've gone and jumped from heaven and now you're less than here
You have a shadow's knack for making bright things disappear
For what it's worth I feel a little sad
Watching you waste what you wanted losing what you had
Making me look so good and you so bad
You're doing it again the reins in your hands
Riding your heart recklessly right into no-man's land
You're doing it again I wonder what you'll say
Once you wake up to the fact that night-time isn't day
No no no No no no
**For what it's worth we're all a little mad
But if you don't own up the fact you can't see it is that
And that's the truth and it makes me a little sad
Watching you waste what you wanted losing what you had
Making me look so good and you so bad
Goin' to Pittsburgh [Hadley]
I've always been inclined to go west or south
So much in the midwest north has turned me inside out
But I'd be outright lying if I didn't speak this word
The hills hug the city and the rivers have their way
The nights are as gentle as a cool summer day
Or so I have found goin' to Pittsburgh
They look me in the eye and help me on my way
Unassuming airs are the cool breeze of this place
My God will I never learn to take care with what I've heard?
Iron City rivers run through their hands and eyes
Fireworks on Tuesdays light up the star-filled skies
Or so I have found goin' to Pittsburgh
I've walked the streets alone and met friends on the side
The busses all showed up on time and I enjoyed the ride
Waitresses smile even at one whose vision is blurred
The country hasn't left this place for tho' the buildings are high
Simplicity has taken root their tears have not run dry
Or so I have found goin' to Pittsburgh
I've always been inclined to go west or south
Below the Mason Dixon much of myself has been worked out
But there is a place that has a word
The hills hug the city the rivers have their way
The nights are as gentle as a cool summer day
Or so I have found goin' to Pittsburgh
I hope again sometime I hope sometime again to find
I hope again sometime I'll find I'm goin' to Pittsburgh
GGTGRG [Hadley]
Gather ‘round good fellas gather ‘round you gals
Time to hear the telling of a mostly untold tale
Has naught to do with fortune not much to do with fame
The story of the grinning good times grass-rock group without a name
They came to us one evening looking to the west
An open invitation to show off all their best
They passed around a bottle smoked whate'er they caught
Hitched up their faded overalls and smiled as they rocked
I cannot count the strings they broke shows just how hard they tried
The will that drove them to the stage would not be denied
But they played it dry & they played it wet on the move & standing still
They sang a song ‘bout Luckenbach in homage to the hills
They talked ‘long about leaving and one night they did go
Deep in the heart of Dallas their one and only paying show
A one-way wrong way driver cut short their night and their fame
The grinning good-times grass-rock group without a name
The bassist they called “fingers” for he had the knack
Of stretching without effort across the frets and back
The guitarist was a shining boy who beamed across the hall
Making music like the verses written by St. Paul
The mandolinist's hands flew at an otherworldly pace
His big toe beating rhythms that made the ladies' heartbeats race
Behind them sat the drumming man who brooded large and tall
Earthquake-rumbling tidal-waving sound throughout the hall
It was the encore “Folsom Prison” and the hall was a big blue sky
Looking through their eyes you felt a cool breeze from on high
But the devil went a-walkin and the storm clouds did a-loom
And with the crash of glass and screech of metal came four sad grass-rock tombs
They're strumming & they're humming & they're slappin' on the knee
Deep in the heart of Dallas where I gladly paid the fee
A one-way wrong way driver cut short their night and their fame
The grinning good-times grass-rock group without a name
Over [Hadley]
Well it's finally over what's done is done
After months of waiting feels like years we're down to none
We saw it coming yes we knew it's what we had to do
So now it's over yes it's over
I can't believe it's over
But it's over yes it's over
Removed the clutter from the room
So clean so quiet so mine so very like a tomb
Never has for real ever felt so real and it's all too real
‘Cause now it's over yes it's over
I can't believe it's over
But it's over yes it's over
It had to come we had to fall
And I was glad to see it happening after all
But now the words can't seem to do I can hardly speak them too
‘Cause its -- yes it's --
I can't believe it's --
But it's -- yes it's -- over
Well it's finally over what's done is done
After months of waiting feels like years we're down to none
We saw it coming yes we knew it's what we had to do
So now it's over yes it's over
I can't believe it's over
But it's over yes it's over
Is it really over? over?
Yeah it's over mmmh mmmh it's over – we're through.
Meet Me on the Inside [Hadley]
Talking to ones dependably meek and bold
Listening to ones come in warmly from the cold
Spying out the many whose treasure is not gold (who say what they mean):
Depression is a dream from which we've woken
There's bounding pleasure even in what's broken
And more than I can see in the tiniest thing spoken (feel the soft leaves underfoot)
And meet me on the inside...
The only red we ever see is sunset red
And yours is the voice that leads to mine in your and my own head
And never is we of what opposite the mean said -
unless we're all mixed up and laughing
We've gotten so much closer to being the same
Everyone included even in our littlest games
And no no no you are not ashamed (just look at the colors)
And meet me on the inside...
To begin and to end is comfortable pain
And the middle is the new and we allow all things to change
Keys are things we easily re-arrange - sounds so good, feels so good
Looking back we see the notes are in line
We play bluegrass at night and we don't mind
We see – oh simplicity - when we're blind Do you see? Do you see? Then -
Meet me on the inside Meet me on the inside Meet me on the inside
Where the old is what is new and does abide
In a place where you and I smile as we fly
Meet me on the inside…
Where we all make music together & there's nothing but sunshiny weather
And there's no more talk of forever & no need to get any better
And we never ever have to say never & we all make music together
Meet me on the inside…

Blue Sky [Hadley]
Just a little bluesky that's all we need he said
Just a little bluesky and some time
Just a little bluesky And the right tune in my head
Gettin from the city "Outta Dodge" he said
Gettin from the city take a ride
Gettin from the city And its faces turnin' red
For just a little bluesky
Just a little bluesky repeats it like a prayer all the time
Just a little bluesky
Just a little bluesky who cannot see the sign
In just a little bluesky
Knee-deep in the river he doesn't speak a thing
Knee-deep in the river that he knows
Knee-deep in the river running through him
Is just a little bluesky
Sittin' in the timber flying through the trees
Sittin' in the timber taking time
Sittin' in the timber there's so much more than what he sees
In just a little bluesky
Just a little bluesky Repeat it like a prayer all the time
Just a little bluesky
Just a little bluesky Can you see the sign in just alittle bluesky
Whatcha Say [Hadley]
There's sand and grime upon the floor and if you slip you'll
fall
Dark eyed poolers at the back laugh on any cue at all You've got
No home and no country and no CDs at the mall
Just daydreams 'bout responding to an otherwordly call
Weakness isn't welcome here by night-time or by day
Weakness isn't welcome here by night-time or by day
Slide on up to the bar boy whatcha say
Have yourself a good one and then have a couple more
Perched upon the barstool like a vulture on death's door Who flaps
Not for the attention 'cause nothin's clearer than the score
If you lose your pride and future will team up to mop this floor
Grin like you belong here a Johnny on his way
Grin like you belong you Johnny on your way
Slide on up to the stage now whatcha say
Locked and loaded take your place the dance has just begun
The middle of this floor is where you'll find the sun shines warm
Choose the fast or choose the slow but choose the perfect one
Man unites with moment or else you're done
Something here for them to find for you to play
Forget about getting home tonight no matter what they say
Forget about losing forget about choosing
Forget about doubting screw off any pouting
Forget about rhyming and frag every fear that has
Ever stood up in your way
Whatcha say
Through Your Eyes [Hadley]
The day has dawned this bright for me before
The night has hung as dark as this night sky
The grooves have been as worn as those worn on this floor
And this high has felt as high
But what would it be like through your eyes?
What seems to be just might only seem
And I don't need much help at all to dream
And I can stand tall even when I lean
And choose just when I'll blow off my steam
But what would it be like through your eyes?
Hey hey hey am I even awake?
Hey hey hey do I even know what day it is through your eyes?
You don't need two to get tangled up in why
And just one arm to skip a stone
The moon lets you stare with just one pair of eyes
The world lets you walk all over her alone
But what would it be like through your eyes?
Hey hey hey am I even awake?
Hey hey hey do I even know what day it is through your eyes?
26 n Change [Hadley]
Mile seven passing by and I feel I've just begun;
Heart and soul and sinew are one thing - the will to run;
My elven feet don't touch the ground, I'm focused like a sun,
I'm a samurai on a Celtic high, I'm a maverick hired gun.
Mile twelve and there's a twinge - you may know how it goes -
With a smiling demon in the bushes plucking petals from a rose;
And now I've gotten passed, but I'm strong; a downhill wind
still blows
That old familiar feeling - light head and lightning toes:
I've been here before though I may not be again,
Ups and downs blurred by the pleasure I have found in chasing pain;
Every step and every breath raise more than just this run:
Twenty six and change - I'm not done.
Down goes twenty - and that's plenty - but there's a heavy rest,
And now my champion's thinking has fallen to my heaving chest;
The grills are grinning wickedly, I wear rivers as a vest:
Am I really up to this latest test?
I've been here before though I may not be again,
Ups and downs blurred by the pleasure I have found in chasing pain;
I am lamb, a loon, a lion - this is my life before your eyes,
Each step an image, chapters in each sigh;
Every step and every breath raise more than just this run:
Twenty six and change - Twenty six and change - Twenty six and change
- I'm not done
The Devil Went a-Walkin' [Shipman/Hadley]
The Devil went a-walkin' yeah he left it all behind
His sights were aimed at something higher
He packed up his guitar his heart set on fire
He had no clue as to exactly what he'd do
But he liked the sunny blue-sky's sharpness
Sure beats the living hell from that fahrenheited well of darkness
Strumming on his steel strings on the steps of Brady's bar
Even O'Brien came out to listen
His encore's hook the audience shook and went like
"I've seen the light! I've seen the light!"
The coins started flying he had 'em laughing had 'em crying
He even made 'em think a thought or two
Whispered to O'Brien "This time I ain't lying I like this
yes I do"
Pretty soon his pockets jingled just like loosened sockets
Filled up as they were with 'preciation
He stepped inside the bar to investigate inebriation
O'Brien said "I think I've got the drink that demon's
looking for
Whiskey is the drink for you, sir"
The devil then threw back a shot of Tully Dew and shouted
"I've seen the light! I've seen the light!" And he
played...
The devil of all people knows enough to play
even if no soundman's there to mic it
And just for the record he did not invent whiskey, but he sure likes
it
Dolphin [Hadley]
Cool Breeze [Hadley/Sequenzia]
There's a little place southwest of here a friend told me about
I wouldn't believe it till I see it, I said, with these two eyes
For I've been told too many times where the sight's less than
the words
And now I've come to expect mostly lies
Oh you'll believe, he replied, the beauty will fill up your mind
And your heart will beat much faster
Hills roll out like there is no time
Trees make shade and beg you to climb
Waters wait for you to slide in
Earth makes love to the sky with a grin
And then there is one more thing: cool breeze...
In the lake up to our necks I confessed to him
I'll put nothing more out, man, I'm finally through with them
I've done my damndest all my best I've thrown away on love
One mistake after another all my hopes crushed
Oh you'll believe, he replied, the beauty will fill up your mind
And your heart will beat much faster faster
She'll roll you out like there is no time
She'll make you shade beg you to climb
She'll wait for you to slide right in
Make love to you with an earthy grin
And give to you one more thing: cool breeze...
Gonna Wash My Clothes [Hadley]
I'm gonna wash my clothes right now I'm gonna wash 'em
good
I'm gonna wash my clothes right now do just like I should
I see some dirt upon my clothes I've soiled them real good
I see some dirt upon my clothes I see also some blood
I'm gonna catch my breath right now I've been working good
I'm gonna catch my breath right now hiking through these woods
I'm patting down the earth right now patting it down good
I'm patting down the earth right now my shovel's patting good
Throwing those bodies in their grave throwing them in for good
Throwing those bodies in their grave to rest in this dark wood
Shot 'em both right in the head right between the eyes
Shot 'em both right in the head for their cheatin' and their
lies
I'm walkin' to the bedroom now feeling warm and good
Walkin' to the bedroom now see them intimate and rude
I've come home real early now quiet and for good
I've come home real early now just because I could
I'm gonna wash my clothes right now I'm gonna wash 'em
good
I'm gonna wash my clothes right now do just like I should
American Boy [Shipman/Hadley]
I am your young man I signed on for school
And to serve my country too
Though we're trained to fight and I know that we might
I don't know if I should
Now on the front line I see for the first time
My friends fall by my side
I'll fight for them I pray we will win
With God on our side
I'm going home this war has changed me so
Things will never be the same
I now lie asleep in a padded box
Wrapped in the red white and blue
My wife will mourn by my graveside
How I loved her so
Though my young life has expired I'd do it all again
Wrapped in the red white and blue
Though my young life has expired I'd do it all again
Wrapped in the red white and blue
Take My Love [Hadley]
Take my love and shove it up your heart
Take my love and shove it up your heart
I have a love for you that needs a push or two
Take my love and shove it up your heart
I sometimes say things that I do not mean (repeat)
But baby here's the truth you've bit me like a tooth
And held on like bad case of gangrene
Everyone needs love to get along (repeat)
Sometimes it feels so right when it's oh so wrong
'Cause everyone needs love to get along
Beat me with your love just like a stick (repeat)
If you hit me hard enough that should do the trick
Whack me so your love shall ever stick
I fell for you just like a deck of cards (repeat)
Now I do no more than crawl upon the floor
Collecting my frail feelings' shattered shards
There are some things I just can't do alone (repeat)
So give me a place where my heart and hands may roam
There are some things we just can't do alone
Yes, there are some things we should not do alone - aye, love!
With You
If I was an aeroplane I'd take you far away
And I would be the path that you walked on every day
If I was a candle light I'd flicker in your eyes
And every time you blew me out I'd try my best to light
If you were a movie star then I would be your stage
And if you were a book I read I'd never turn the page
If you were to be a dance then I would be the song
And I would go on playing all day and all night long
Forty nights and forty days I'd keep you from the rain
And I would buy the sky from God and go there on a train
I'd take you on a trip so high above the clouds
And I would take you other spots where no one is allowed
I would build a mansion for you to keep your gold
And I would build a fireplace to warm you from the cold
I would give you roses every time you touched my skin
And I would steal your heart away and give it back again
All these things are easier than they sound to do
But none of them can happen if I am not with you
