Thursday day dear at the parade here
Watching people as they float on by
All the families stayed drinking Gatorade
So many faces I’ve made up my mind
That we’re all a part of it, we’re all a part of it
Everything growing the river that’s flowing
We’re all a part of it, we’re all a part of it
Stock market in crisis, 16 with a license
Carved a turkey on Thanksgiving day
Set a place for you by my side
Cranberry’s canned and gravy’s demanding
A bit more stirring, we’ll make it out alive
Cause we’re all a part of it
The war and the crime dear
The smog all the time here
We’re all a part of it, we’re all a part of it
Tofu with breakfast
Bagels or the eggs first
Stuffing’s gone now. No gravy no how
My uncle’s drunk but trying to be discreet
Should I take a nap or watch the parent trap
I turn it on as I fall asleep
Cause we’re all a part of it, we’re all a part of it
Writing on the wall, doodles in bathroom stalls
We’re all a part of it, we’re all a part of it
Thursday night TV, an apartment with AC
We’re all a part of it, we’re all a part of it
Beer on a hot day, sleeping summer away
We’re all a part of it, we’re all a part of it
The lyrics to this song, I sing them and they’re gone

Path Unbroken

Well I’ve been cleaning out my closet
To make room for all my wrongs
And I’ve been dusting off my dress shoes
More mistakes before too long
But I’ve been trying to change my ways child
Even talked about cutting my hair
And you know I never blamed you
Even once you left me dear
May your path be unbroken
And your patience be strong
Cause I’ve gone on the nothing
Like you said all along
But at least I am trying
Yeah I wrote you this song
May your path be unbroken
And your patience be strong
For your beauty still carries me home
All alone
And I’ve thrown out my dirty books dear
Those girls don’t get no more of my time
And I’ve been looking for new friends child
Do more than drink and smoke and lie
And I’ve been talking about listening
And I’ve been thinking about trying
To find out why the girls are frowning
At everything that’s got me smiling
May your path be unbroken
And your patience be strong
Cause I’ve gone on the nothing
Like you said all along
But at least I am trying
Yeah I wrote you this song
May your path be unbroken
And your patience be strong
For your beauty still carries me home
All alone
And if you find yourself alone
And your radio’s out of tune
Don’t forget that childish sadness
Of your song
May your path be unbroken
And your patience be strong
Cause I’ve gone on the nothing
Like you said all along
But at least I am trying
Yeah I wrote you this song
May your path be unbroken
And your patience be strong
For your beauty still carries me home
All alone

Well I’ve been on the road
From the east to the west
And the people I’ve not met
Are the ones I like best
You can turn down your bed
I’ll be staying the night
And you can pin up your hair
You can leave on the light
‘Cause we’re far far from home
Everyone must go home
We all must go home sometime
Everyone must go home
Go home with me
I’ll go home with you
We’ll be home

Gone Down The River

And I am almost twenty-five
It’s the strange things I’ve seen that keep my alive
I’ve seen a beautiful woman with a tattooed face
Cry herself to sleep for things she couldn’t erase
Seen a love note written in the hard concrete
By a love sick boy who resembled me
Oh where’s my baby she is something sweet
Seen 9 men living up in a tree
I sent them food while the cops chased me
Seen a teenage boy with an old age beard
Move deep into the woods to escape a fear
What it was was never too clear
His parents put it there
And I’ve loved all of my days
I’ve spent them in the most peculiar place
Spent a week atop a mountain slept through stormy nights
Spent a week below a bridge slept through stormy nights
Lived with ten boys circling in total peace
Lived with one girl we only spoke through our teeth
Where’s my baby she is something sweet
I caught six rides going from the east to the west
Only to find I need the east to rest at night
Lived in a basement of a house full to the top
Of relics one woman had never forgot
She let me touch them is they returned to their spot
Oh she was good to me
She’s good to me
She’s good to me
She’s something sweet
And I know myself
Well I found me in a book about a boy on a quest
He went down to the water and he saw himself
He bent down to the river and he kissed himself
He went down to the water and he saw himself
He bent down to the river and he kissed himself
Where’s my baby she is something sweet
I went down to the water and I saw myself
I bent down to the river and I kissed myself
I said where’s my baby she is something sweet
Where’s my baby she is something sweet
I went down to the water and I saw myself
I bent down to the river and I kissed myself
I said where’s my baby she is something sweet
Where’s my baby she is something sweet
I went down to the water and I saw myself
I bent down to the river and I kissed myself
I said where’s my baby she is something sweet
Where's that little old love of my life
I went down to the water and I saw myself
I bent down to the river and I kissed myself
I said where’s my baby she is something sweet
She’s sweet to me

Say Marie

Well I kept thinking ‘bout what she was a-speaking and she
She kept talking like that for just so very long
She got problems with my problems
She got problems with my feelings
She kept talking like that for just so very long
If it’s not one thing than it’s another you know
She kept talking like that for just so very long
If it’s not with my cloths it’s in the bedroom you know
She kept talking like that for just so very long
Say Marie leave your keys there by the window
Say Marie leave your worries by my side
Wait Marie just give me a chance to see through you
So I know what I’ll be missing with the rest of my life
Well what could I say it all was the truth and you know
She kept talking like that for just so very long
I stared into her ivory eyes I went on a little trip
She kept talking like that for just so very long
Over her lovely white thighs over her couch cushion lips
She kept talking like that for just so very long
But in the backyard I found my little coffin my crypt
She kept talking like that for just so very long
Say Marie leave your keys there by the window
Say Marie leave your worries by my side
Wait Marie just give me a chance to see through you
So I know what I’ll be missing with the rest of my life

Gotta Go To Bed

Spent all year wandering around
Now there’s new dudes running this town
They all seem pretty cool
A few girls know my name
And it’s been hard I admit
To stay upbeat the older I get
Try to make ‘em feel new
The things I’ve done before
Well I’ve been out son
And I’ve gotta to go to bed
Well I’m never gonna find time
To rest my sleepy head
When the nights get so lonely
Well I’ve been lost on the road
To find someone to help carry my load
Waste my whole damn day
Looking for a girl I’ve never known
I checked downtown
The girls were business minded
Went upstate
They’re all getting too high
Oh those country girls
Ruin me every time
Well I’ve been out son
And I’ve gotta to go to bed
Well I’m never gonna find time
To rest my sleepy head
When the nights get so lonely

She Knows I'm High
02:42

Well I’ve been in my bed all day long
Watching the same movie I saw yesterday
She calls me says she wants to go out to eat
I wash my face, clean up my room still
She knows I’m high
Well my life lives in boxes and crates
Strewn ‘round my room
With (movie) rentals already late
She sleeps over sometimes
Makes the place smell nice
I put on some tea
But the cups are dirty
And she knows I’m high
Well I’m stoned but that’s okay
My girl’s in love with me anyway
Yeah, I’m gone but it’s alright
My girl stays with me all the night

Just Your Kiss
05:31

Got a girl loves my wild ways
I got a pocket full of loose change
Got blue skies that fly for miles
Got true friends and book stack piles
But mama you know it’s hard to get out of bed
These days just slip away
I can’t even get one good book read
Stare up at the ceiling for days
In the winter you know it can get worse
Cold winds whisper my curse
Mama you know it’s hard to get out of bed
Got a family that loves me dear
Got a six pack of cheap cold beer
Got a melody only I can hear
Got direction but hell it ain’t too clear
But mama you know it’s hard to get out of bed
These days just slip away
I can’t even get one good book read
Stare up at the ceiling for days
In the winter you know it can get worse
Cold winds whisper my curse
Mama you know it’s hard to get out of bed
And it’s just your kiss
That can help me when I fall
If just one kiss can help me at all

And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
Well December is here
And school’s out for a week
So it’s just snowball fights
And the presents we seek
With the lights all around
Snow on the ground
I know it’s coming
And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
Santa’s cooking up toys
For the kids of the town
And when you’re fast asleep
He’s bringing them down
So you must get to bed
You must get to bed
You must get to bed
‘Cause he’s right on time
He’s right on time
He’s right on time
He’s right on time
And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
And all the kids they wish for
Oh they sing for
Oh for Christmas day
