Changing With The Wind

 Changing With The Wind

 

Momma was a free spirt always on her own                         

Poppa came and went like a lonely rolling stone                  

Free love was the thing but it came with a high price           

Sadly there’s only room for two in paradise                          

 

She was always changing with the wind

You can’t expect a blessing when you’re in sin

Every day in every way she was born again

She was always changing with the wind

 

As a rule children are cruel and such is the truth

There’s a blessed righteousness only found in youth

She turned the other cheek because she couldn’t fight

She had dreams that one day she’d grow wings for flight

 

She was always changing with the wind

You can’t expect a blessing when you’re in sin

Every day in every way she was born again

She was always changing with the wind

 

At sixteen she split the scene heading west by thumb

She had no religion but sung we shall overcome

With options few she drew close to a man with a lie

Hell has many forms but in the storm she was dry

 

She was always changing with the wind

You can’t expect a blessing when you’re in sin

Every day in every way she was born again

She was always changing with the wind

 

One day she looked in the mirror and said What am I doing in this place?

One day the sky became clearer she asked Why did my mother call me Grace?

You can only sing the blues if you pay your dues it’s not something you choose

There are many paths in life all have strife but that won’t make the evening news

 

Grace felt the invisible chains and simply turned the key

Headed to a small town calling herself Madam Marie

She was telling fortunes consoling the broken hearted

At that moment the glory of the story started

 

She was always changing with the wind

You can’t expect a blessing when you’re in sin

Every day in every way she was born again

She was always changing with the wind

I’ll Start Tomorrow

 I’ll Start Tomorrow

 

Lavender is the color of surrender go pay your dues

Red is dead he said so it’s the blues that I choose

Sleeping late ain’t the way to make dreams come true

Love and hate spotlight at midnight do you have a clue

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

 

The wind is blowing we’re going to the twilight zone

Nothing is the greatest something that I’ve ever known

There is a lead zeppelin crashing into the endless sea

Atlantis home of the divine was fine until anarchy

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

 

Sean sighs he’s got two more years of college to go

What the future brings he sings I just don’t know

The moment is now we have no promise of more

Life is for living quit trying to count the score

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

 

You’ll never reach your destination with procrastination

A little hesitation some doubt about then no salvation

The world spins round and round today is your chance

Nothing in is the greatest sin life is a lady to romance

 

Sean is slowly counting the pennies one by one

Is this living? Is God forgiving? I ain’t having fun

None can determine exactly where we start

But the day belongs to those strong enough to follow their heart

 

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

I’ll start tomorrow my life’s a mess

There ain’t anybody here I wanna impress

I’ll start tomorrow I guess

Hey Dolly

 Hey Dolly

 

You were a farmer’s daughter with a heart of gold

You were pure fantasy and fantasy doesn’t grow old

Dolly Parton it was a name that everyone knew

Dolly Parton you know sometimes dreams come true

 

Hey Dolly you were the best

Hey Dolly enter heaven’s rest

Hey Dolly done is the test

Hey Dolly you were the best

 

Working nine to five but infused which such style

You made the music come alive you made me smile

Beauty and grace with some genuine humility

God has called you home you’re finally free

 

Hey Dolly you were the best

Hey Dolly enter heaven’s rest

Hey Dolly done is the test

Hey Dolly you were the best

 

Jolene ain’t coming between you and your angel

From cradle to the grave love was the only goal

When you sang you’d bring out the joy in your soul

But life is a war and battles they take their toll

 

Hey Dolly you were the best

Hey Dolly enter heaven’s rest

Hey Dolly done is the test

Hey Dolly you were the best

 

Song birds the sing and song birds they fly

And song birds laugh and song birds cry

Music is the language we all understand

You were the star the queen of the band

 

You were a farmer’s daughter with a heart of gold

You were pure fantasy and fantasy doesn’t grow old

Dolly Parton it was a name that everyone knew

Dolly Parton you know sometimes dreams come true

 

Hey Dolly you were the best

Hey Dolly enter heaven’s rest

Hey Dolly done is the test

Hey Dolly you were the best

A Final Prayer at my Lynching

A Final Prayer at my Lynching

 

My only crime the color of my skin

Look inside and see your sin

The gallows rope cuts my throat

Coarse fibers bite

I have strength scarce to fight

But please make note

God takes no pleasure in your wicked deeds

And evil never succeeds

One day your cities shall burn

One day the red man will return

And then you’ll learn

The wages of sin is death

The noose tightens cutting off all air

 I am victorious I have not one more care

Pay heed to the words of my last breath

For though my life is through

My words ring true

And as I sway in the air

Allmighty God hears my prayer

God is a God of mercy yes it is true

But God is a God of justice too

Hear the words of my final prayer

And beware

Blues Lady

 Blues Lady

 

Juan slipped Don Quixote some L.S.D.

A minor victory for the forces of anarchy

The evening news gives clues about reality

And you my dear I truly fear mean nothing to me

 

Blues Lady dancing in a daze

You the sunshine of my days

Blues Lady through the night

Blues Lady you make me feel alright

 

The face of the clown melted into a permanent frown

In Manhattan at night the trains don’t run downtown

Freaks and sheiks mingle debating minor affairs

The poor pay the lion’s share of corporate welfare

 

Blues Lady dancing in a daze

You the sunshine of my days

Blues Lady through the night

Blues Lady you make me feel alright

 

She’s a victim of technology

A lost soul in a murky mystery

Trying crying to be free

If she had the cash she’d pay the fee

But when the toll is your soul

You just gotta keep control

 

The psychotic soldier is now older and gray

He is lost in the holocaust of his yesterday

After the artillery they marched into the city

Sad to say mangled bodies are not too pretty

 

Blues Lady dancing in a daze

You the sunshine of my days

Blues Lady through the night

Blues Lady you make me feel alright

One More Trip Around The Sun

 One More Trip Around The Sun

 

One more trip around the sun!

Was it fun?

Kind of

But I’ve found it most profound

We need a lot more love


I just wish

We could accomplish

More than senseless killing

I mean ain’t mankind willing

To live in peace

Why the fright of the fight?

Why this hellish blight?

What is the lesson of oppression?

To make imaginary wealth increase

Put in simple and plain

This world is insane

 

One more trip around to sun?

Enough is enough

I would get off

Take a rocket ship for two

Beyond the blue

And kickback with the stars

 

So let it be said

Instead of compromise

Instead of accepting lies

I insist

I will resist

Victory is for the one who tries

 

One more trip around the sun!

There’s a victory to be won

And I won’t rest

Until it’s done
