Peaches and Honey

I've been chasing this world

Not knowing

Where the sunshine is going

When it's going down

I've been chasing these dreams

Not knowing 

Always going around

A cinnamon smile 

On a rainbow 

near a dry western road

A peach tree near the garden of fables

A honey stained kiss

And a dream laid away and stowed

And the cloud sings a song

For the Angel wings she tries on

She flies on

When the picture is flawed to perfection

And no more saints to air moral objections

And his soul grows unfazed in the face of rejection 

And the rising and setting sun find connection

We will know

The cinnamon kiss

That we missed 

Peaches and honey smiles

At the end of a rainbow

And the clouds sing a song

For the wings she tries on

She flies on...

One More

There is a piece of me

That burns inside

A different face

I'd like to hide

I know can't

Because I've tried

So come along

Enjoy the ride

Gather around

Watch the show

I will explain

But you won't know

Still the same

About to blow

Mourn the flame

Where the ashes go

I will explain

You still won't know

Sidewalk narcotics

And a liquor store

You know it seems 

I've wrote this song before

For one more smile

That's still adored

A shooting smile doesn't mean

It don't hurt no more

There's a piece of me

That burns inside

A different face

I'd like to hide

I know I can't 

Because I've tried

So come along

And enjoy the ride

Me And Waylon

Flying down a highway

It's just me and Waylon

Hanging on every line

Every rhyme has me swaying

I know he's a long time gone

But I still believe every word he's saying

Riding down a highway

Just me and ol' Waylon 

Every now and then my mind slips away

Looking back to remember

My favorite two bit whore

I can't believe I ever loved her

Guess, because I don't anymore

That old lines getting longer

My bedroom's a revolving door

Still every now and then I remember

My favorite two bit whore

Big Bertha back in Beaumont

She still turns me on

Like a shotgun whiskey chaser

And a Billy Joe Shaver song

Freight trains and cocaine

And blue eyes crying in the rain

Aching with a freedom

That borders on insane

But nothing does a damn thing for me

Like Kris Kristofferson

That old phones a ringing

Everybody wants to play

I don't mind'em coming 

But everybody wanna stay

If you ain't got no cash

Then you can't afford to pay

Still I don't mind you coming

But you can't afford to stay

Flying down a highway

It's just me and Waylon

Hanging on every line

Every rhyme has me swaying

I know he's a long time gone

But I still believe every word he's saying

Riding down a highway

Just me and ol' Waylon

Hey Sadie

Sadie Baby

Sadie baby

Sadie, babe you've been gone too long

Hey Sadie,

Hey baby,

Please come back home

She said"

In all your natural life

You wanted me for your wife

When you got what you wanted

You went and messed around"

I said "Sadie baby,Sadie baby

Sadie, babe, I didn't mean to let you down. 

I can't help it I've got the soul of a clown

She said

"In all your born days

You couldn't get out of your way

Now just stay out of mine

You'll sit on your front porch

Together with a bottle all alone

You'll beg and you'll cry

You'll try and you'll try

It's just a waste of time

Because Sadie baby is gone"

I cried and I cried

Said "give me one chance

I'll keep you satisfied"

She said "if you was an honest man

You wouldn't have to apologize for the times you lied

You can't right

Because you prefer to do wrong

Do wrong all alone 

Because Sadie baby is gone"

And I cried:

Sadie Baby

Sadie baby

Sadie, babe you've been gone too long

Hey Sadie,

Hey baby,

Please come back home

Teardrops In The Rain

Lately my life

Is fast cars motorcycles 

And Jim beam whiskey

And another young girl 

Only learning to play the game

Tomorrow she better learn fast

How to miss me

Because I'll be gone

Like Teardrops in the rain

A long time ago

Maybe there was one who could've held me

But she is gone

I guess it's for the best

She found something to replace me

And I found that freedom

Means more than a word in a song

Since then I've taken

Everything I took

Living hard running out the show

You can't see, so you can't know

It's all smoke and mirrors

Just a carnival game

I will show you but you can't look

Because I'll be gone

Like Teardrops in the rain

I'll shoot you straight

And you'll find surprise

Take my truth

And turn bourbon into lies

Another driven snowflake

Fallen with a Scarlett stain

I will show you but you can't look

And I'll be gone

Like teardrops in the rain
