The Sun belongs to Anyone
Bye bye little Kerouac
so long, see you soon
fade off down the railroad track
go follow the moon
wake up in a world forgotten, wake up to the proof
That you’re a little bit older and a little bit wiser
as the years fall on your head
but now the sun belongs to anyone
hey, anyone heading west
anyone heading west
My aunt's down in New Orleans
my Mom's with her there
My Dad died in '63
so I guess that I've always been here
I live in a world of strangers, though some are my friends
I'm a little bit older and a little bit wiser
as the years fall on my head
but now the sun belongs to anyone
hey, anyone heading west
anyone heading west
I've seen drifters and truckers and bikers with chains
men dressed as women and women in pain
sea sides and bus rides and legerdemain
I should know enough to get out of the rain
So bye bye little Kerouac
so long split this scene
go on man don't turn your back
go chasin’ your dream
wake up in a world forgotten, wake up to the truth
That you’re a little bit older and a little bit wiser
as the years fall on your head
but now the sun belongs to anyone
hey, anyone heading west
anyone heading west

She Was My Girl
Hey, where's that girl with the mischief in her eye
Hey, where's that girl she was just standing by my side
Hey, where's that girl I was gonna ask to dance
Hey, where's that girl right now I'm feelin' like some romance
What's she doin' out on the floor with another man
Hey, I don't know
What's she doin' now in the middle of this song
He's holdin' her too tight
now he's singin' in her ear
she's lookin in his eyes
that should be me that standing there
She was my girl until the music started
the drummer counted four and left me broken hearted
I didn't stand a chance unless I asked her to dance
and now she's gone, gone, gone
I know she's gone
Hey, where's that girl with the roses on her shirt
Hey, where's that girl, you know that pretty little flirt
Hey, where's that girl I think I'm ready now to dance
Hey, where's that girl right now I'm feelin' like some romance
What's she doin' out on the floor with another man
Hey, I don't know
What's she doin' now in the middle of this song
He's holdin' her too tight
now he's singin' in her ear
she's lookin in his eyes
that should be me that standing there
She was my girl until the music started
the drummer counted four and left me broken hearted
I didn't stand a chance unless I asked her to dance
and now she's gone, gone, gone
I know she's gone

Roline
She was a hi-fi low cut semi hard
Spending nights in my stolen car
Washed out dragged in by the cat
Major privates now imagine that
She had a no way go away way out style
Pumped up jumped up gone a while
Done in all grin kind of smile
Made her way down the electric mile
Oh my Roline I’m on fire
Oh my Roline come and come and snap my wire
She had a longing for a short time man
Cousin brother lend a hand
Signed up for the family plan
Call emergency if you can
Oh my Roline I’m o.k.
Oh my Roline come and come and make my day
She was going down I was coming up
No slack went back sold my stuff
Cut the silence like a ringing bell
And dropped my off out on the road to hell
Oh my Roline I’m all right
Oh my Roline come and come and make my night

Halfway to Wichita
Big black crow eatin' lunch by the side of the road
stares me down as I go walkin' by
halfway to Wichita
going back to see my ma
and rest my weary head by the side of the fire
Sign on the road - Re-elect Sherrif John Cain
mean old man got the devil on his side
halfway to Wichita
going back to see my ma
and rest my weary head by the side of her fire
Old John Cain he won't ever find me
I sleep all day at the top of a tree
The river's high and the winds flying free
Big black cloud up ahead promising rain
I snuck inside a church to catch the Sunday choir
halfway to Wichita
going back to see my ma
and rest my weary head by the side of her fire
Old John Cain he won't ever find me
In every town that he looks I won't be
The river's high and the winds flying free

I Wanna Know
Are you in love or hate
why do you hesitate and make me wait
Are you ashamed inside
Is there some hidden lie, some other guy
no one said that love was easy today
but that's no reason now to throw it all away
I wanna know
I wanna know
You can't take forever I got things to do
but one thing here is for certain I love you
this night's not long enough
Sensations and other stuff make it tough
Come on and walk with me
I'll show you what you should see, you and me
no one said that love was easy today
but that's no reason now to throw it all away
I wanna know
I wanna know
You can't take forever I got things to do
but one thing here is for certain I love you

Would You Kiss Me Now

ould You Kiss Me Now
I saw you today in the middle of town
We spoke of the weather and such
The heart in my chest made a powerful sound
Like the pounding of thunder above
Your eye have the sparkle of children at play
And as we were talking I wanted to say
Would you kiss me now
Would you kiss me now
Would you kiss me now
I think that I’m falling in love
I told you I wanted to follow you home
Maybe visit a minute or two
You laughed when you said you were living alone
And that might not be proper to do
We passed by the church as we walked on our way
And there by the steeple I wanted to say
Would you kiss me now
Would you kiss me now
Would you kiss me now
I think that I’m falling in love
Most of our lives we spend searching for things
We probably never will find
But I know for certain it’s you
Now my heart has finally made up my mind
We sat on your porch with a bottle of wine
As the stars all appeared in the sky
I wanted to take your two hands in mine
And promise our love would be right
But I couldn’t be sure if you felt it that way
Then I looked in your eyes and I heard you say
Would you kiss me now
Would you kiss me now
Would you kiss me now
I think that I’m falling in love

The Other Side of the Rain
Somewhere high on this ground lies a fortunate man
He left this world looking down lifted up to the Promised Land
He didn’t cry to the wind he had no reasons for shame
His story told now begins on the other side of the rain
When the clouds roll away and the sun come shining again
On this road he will come to know the other side of the rain
Old woman waits for her time her family restless and gone
Alone her spirit will climb above the cares of the dawn
She doesn’t long for her youth to carry child again
Her dying flower will bloom in truth on the other side of the rain
When the clouds roll away and the sun come shining again
On this road she will come to know the other side of the rain
In this guise all of us look to remain
As we rise over the wind and the rain
Every day has its fight every night has its pain
In every heart is the light that shines to the other side of the rain
When the clouds roll away and the sun come shining again
On this road we will come to know the other side of the rain

The Great Beyond
In this life there are no certainties
’til our last warm breath is drawn
but the Lord says I can wait for you
’til you reach the great beyond
I can see the house where you were born
and the fields where we would by
and the small white church where we were wed
on that cold November day
I can see where both our boys were raised
in the house we filled with love
giving thanks for all God sent to us
with his blessings from above
I can see where I did promise you
not to leave your love alone
but the Lord had other plans for me
now I wait to carry you home
In this life there are no certainties
’til our last warm breath is drawn
but the Lord says I can wait for you
’til you reach the great beyond

Heaven Allows
The northeast wind came howlin’ down right through the heart of town
Took the people by surprise, blew the trash around
I pulled my coat around me and let the wild wind go by
Wishing it could take me outta here
I spent the night on a Pine St. bed in fitful restless sleep
Awoke before the sunrise and went down to the street
The preacher opened up his doors, man I hope he prays for me
Yea, maybe prayers could take me outta here
There’s no place left for me to go and my time is runnin’ out
I have done the best that a poor man can do
Can you understand my doubt
In the promises heaven allows
I worked for many but for none was I ever in debt
I roamed and searched and rambled through the people that I met
But there was still a part of me that would never show his face
and looked out from behind my eyes with naked fear
Now the sun would rise, the sun would set, and I would disappear
And start again in some other town a hundred miles from there
It was so easy not to stay, not a day, a month, a year
And never have to face my naked fear
But now there’s no place left for me to go and my time is runnin’ out
I have done the best that a poor man can do
Can you understand my doubt
In the promises heaven allows
I will lay me down in tattered clothes and slowly drift away
Close my eyes one more time to the worries of the day
They will find my earthen vessel and offer up my soul to God
And maybe God will know a way to ease my fear
‘Cause there’s no place left for me to go and my time is runnin’ out
I have done the best that a poor man can do
Can you understand my doubt
In the promises heaven allows

A Little Lovin' Tonight
It's alright, I'm O.K. I just need a little lovin' today
It's O.K. I'm alright I just need a little lovin' tonight
Sister sun and brother moon dry and dusty on the plains
I feel the autumn coming soon a distant promise of rain
empty houses, empty rooms voices whispering in the night
feel the autumn coming soon
it's lonely, so lonely
oh won't you come and stay with me tonight
It's alright, I'm O.K. I just need a little lovin' today
It's O.K. I'm alright I just need a little lovin' tonight
In the end I'm still a man nothing more and nothing less
I'm not trying to pretend or trying to confess
I could leave for parts unknown but that would do no good for me
the time has come to settle down
I'm lonely, so lonely
oh won't you come and stay with me tonight
We can wash our hands of all we've said and done
that was then and time is running out
In the end I'm still a man nothing more and nothing less
I'm not trying to pretend
it's lonely, so lonely
Oh won't you come and stay with me
oh stay with me
It's alright, I'm O.K. I just need a little lovin' today
It's O.K. I'm alright I just need a little lovin' tonight
I just need a little lovin' tonight
I just need a little lovin'
tonight

Rain Don't Fall
Woke from my bed at the end of the day
Clothes on the floor tattered and frayed
Christ in His glory sweet mother of pain
If life is living I'm dying again
There's rain in my head and there's rain in my eyes
The rain in my heart is the sound of goodbye
Now the rain doesn't fall from the sky
The world has forsaken and old man like me
no light in the forest no flight o'er the sea
Tonight is forever, today's never been
Tomorrow is sorrow to wake up again
There's rain in my head and there's rain in my eyes
The rain in my heart is the sound of goodbye
Now the rain doesn't fall from the sky
