Rigamarole

Watching by the window
As walking people go
Talking of what’s known as
In the rigamarole

Here the sun don’t go down
The earth just spins around
World records want to keep count
In the rigamarole

Well dressed cold shoulders
Worry over
Business as usual
More procedure
Between routines
The candle burns at both ends

In the rigamarole

Not a place to go see
Like you can a city
Love’s an entity
In the rigamarole

No real cause for alarm
Can be said there’s no harm
Jargon’s a lucky charm
In the rigamarole

Well dressed cold shoulders
Worry over
Business as usual
More procedure
Between routines
The candle burns at both ends

In the rigamarole

When you ask me how’s it going
But your ears don’t stop to listen
The classified ads we hang our hearts out
All in the name of supply and demand

Well dressed cold shoulders
Worry over
Business as usual
More procedure
Between routines
The candle burns at both ends

In the rigamarole

What Did I Do To Deserve You

You’re like a star in the sky
And when I see you there’s no deny
Your eyes are brightest of all
And your look is like a silent call

Holding doors open for you
I know you love me when you step on my shoe
Screamin’ from the top of my lungs
Hey, ..that’s the way you’re lovin’ havin’ fun

Oh, what did I do …
What did I do to deserve you?

Saved your dog’s life in the pool

It cost me a cold and a torn-up suit
Still have a bone to pick with you
The runaround’s your game, this I always knew

You throw a mean hot potatoe
Not crazy to catch it, I fake a fumble
Still counting my blessings with you
Not that you’s steal them, cause you’re tried and true

Oh, what did I do …
What did I do to deserve you

When The Money Is Gone

I’ve been around
I’ve seen this town
I’ve had the game all sewn
I’ve had some breaks
I’ve made mistakes
And I’ve learned
To flow

The changes come
Nothing is sure
No matter where you turn
But what I’ve learned
I’m telling you
It’s sad, but true

When the money is gone
The friends go
Wonderin’ whether, if ever
That’s not so
How to get it to change, I don’t know
When the money is gone
The friends go

I’d like to trust
In stuff beyond the deal
That place of faith
That won’t be lost
At some banker’s meal

I’ve seen the smiles
When I arrived
After some big show
I’ve seen them hide
Afraid to nod
When I’ve been low

When the money is gone
The friends go
Wonderin’ whether, if ever
That’s not so
How to get it to change, I don’t know
When the money is gone
The friends go

What new day
Wanna see that
When you’re worth
What it is
You believe in
Then you’re free

That new day, oh yeah
Wanna be there when
Your friends
Stand behind you
When you’re real
Then, you’re free…..

When the money is gone
The friends go
Wonderin’ whether, if ever
That’s not so
How to get it to change, I don’t know
When the money is gone
The friends go

Coming Home

Been away for a long time
You’re looking so grown up now
Are the folks still angry?
Hey, come here, let me see how much you’ve changed

Coming home, what a different guy I am
Coming home, had to leave, you understand
Coming home, couldn’t wait to see your smile
Coming home with these stories on my mind

Did you get my postcards?
Scribbled some from different towns I saw
Are the folks still angry?
Hey come here, look how beautiful you are

Coming home, what a different guy I am
Coming home, had to leave, you understand
Coming home, couldn’t wait to see your smile
Coming home with these stories on my mind

The road out there is so great
So much to enjoy
Feeling you’re alive, child
Never knowin’ what’s conmin’
What country you’re findin’
And lovin’ and growin’ yourself in

I never minded the bad times
When the money disappeared
Living day to day, child
You just got to give in
And you roll with the punches
You find that you’re lovin’ and growin’

Coming home, what a different guy I am
Coming home, had to leave, you understand
Coming home, couldn’t wait to see your smile
Coming home with these stories on my mind

Wasn’t There Music Enough

Summer’s here, the evening’s long
Our favorite woods are green
I catch your voice in every breeze
There’s no peace since you’re gone

What made you trade it all in
To sing songs in the city
Wasn’t there music enough
When we touched … when we loved

Never thought to worry, oh no
I never thought you’d go
You think you know a woman well
Yet, you never know

What love song took you away
What went wrong … oh yeah
Wasn’t there music enough
Wasn’t there music enough

What love song took you away
What went wrong, we were friends
Wasn’t there music enough
When we loved
Wasn’t there music enough

Get It Going

Livin’ like
We have no choice
Livin’ lies
And staying mute
The house is burning, we blame the wind
It’s our doing, there’s no excuse

We’ve got to start… yeah
To lead with the heart… yeah, yeah

There are the folks to be fed
In our own neighborhood,
There are kids to be held
It is our privilege….
We got to go
Got to go
Got to
Get it going

Stop complainin’ the world is insane
Who do you think
Got it that way?
The house is burning, we blame the heat
We’ve set the fire, admit that, at least
We’ve got to start… yeah
To lead with the heart… yeah

There are schools to support
Or the arts, or the clinics
There are kids to be taught
It is our privilege
We got to go
It’s up to us
To get it goin’
I’m telling you
I got to go
We got to go
We got to get it goin’
It is our privilege
I got to go
You got to go
We got to
Get it going

Live Everything You Are

What makes you think it’s over
What makes you think they’ve won?
You’ve come too far to doubt your worth,
You’re tired and angry
Unappreciated dream, that’s right
But you know it’s not easy
To wake to your truth,
So few have the courage
To trust in their worth

Listen to me,
It’s your light that we need
It is time that we see
Live everything you are

Oh lovely one
Don’t give in,
Stay within,
There are lessons still to learn
Don’t think you ever lost it
Don’t think they can have won

You’ve come this far
To show your worth
They’re just not used to vision
For it’s goods they desire
In such a world we live in
Where life is for hire

Listen to me,
It’s your light that we need
It is time that we see
Live everything you are

Oh lovely one,
Speak your mind,
Write your lines
Be all
The things you are
Live everything you are
