I've never been down
Cause my time it has been grand
I've never been down
Down to disney land
The birds were awful nice
and the fans they gave good advice
I've never been down
Cause my old lady has no reason to hound
Honey my time is up,
I've got to move with the weather
Honey I'm on the hunt,
for the wind that blows better
Let's meet new people together
No one is gonna remember
cause that's how,
that's how I'm gonna go down.
I've never been down,
down to Mexico
I've only been to a place that they said its okay to go
They all believed in sacrifice
and all the children they had lice
I've never been down,
down to Mexico
Honey my time is up,
I've got to move with the weather
Honey I'm on the hunt,
for the wind that blows better
Let's meet new people together
No one is gonna remember
cause that's how,
that's how I'm gonna go down
Down, down, down, down

Being Alone
03:45

I’m a ramblin’ on,
But the road never seemed so long
I been searching for you
So I, so I could go home
But I reached for your hands,
And I only felt thorn,
I looked to my palms,
They were bloody, bloody and torn.
But I’ve gotten used to being alone
You’ve worn me down to my skin & bone
Don’t you hear me crying, don't you hear me moan
Cause I’ve gotten used to being alone
I’ve broken down,
And I'm almost gone,
And without you, it's a night long and drawn
But I know damn well,
After dark ain’t no dawn,
But I’ve gotten used to being alone
You’ve worn me down to my skin & bone
Don’t you hear me crying, don't you hear me moan
Cause I’ve gotten used to being alone

Nighttime

Dark was the night
When I first called your name
Now the sun won't come up
Nothing is the same
I've been down this road
So many times before
But I just don't think
I'll see the light anymore
You've got jet black eyes
Black as the night
You scare me a little
But woman you make me feel alright
And the way you look
Drives me out of my mind
But every time I see you
The devil's at your side
Now it's always night
But I never sleep
Woman I always think of you
And it's midnight baby
Can't close my eyes
I just don't know what to do
Down by the crossroads
I saw a black dog
He ain't left my side
He just walks along
I got to your house
Tried to turn on the light
But you left me baby
Because you're nowhere in sight
Now it's always night
But I never sleep
Woman I always think of you
And it's midnight baby
Can't close my eyes
I just don't know what to do

Wake Me Up, Mama
03:30

Wake me up mama
Just before you go
I know you got you another man
To let your dog outdoor
When that old hound starts to howl
And your man's up a tree
Oh baby that's a couple of hours
For just you and me
My home is on the mountain
My baby love me there
Clear mountain river and that
Cool mountain air
But my baby she left me
Went after another man
Guess I'll just climb off the mountain
Go wherever I can
I spent so many lonely nights
With nowhere to stay
I kept hoping my baby
Would come back some day
'Till I came to your door mama
And you let me in
But I've been leaving out your back door
Just again and again

Harper's Fairy

There's a World
So Out of Tune
Won't you fly my hot air balloon
It has wings
Just try to imagine them
To which you they will send
A world unimaginable
Did you touch
The feeling fantasy
The one to see
But awoke from a dream
To feel lonely
Down the road
There's a vision to claim
Left in dust
Do not worry
There's no one to blame
Harper's Fairy
Will make you weary
With playtime and gold
You'll feel merry
Harper's Fairy
tastes like cherry
And every flavor
You've ever known
It might wilt our hearts
If we try
To grow together
As a less cruel flower
I'll bring a bear with me
To claim my local honey
I'll blow the whistle
when the night it ain't sunny
Do you have
A place of your own
A place in your head
You call home
She calls me poetic
When I'm her friend
Someday I know
I'll be her lover again
I wish rainbows
Appeared more after rain
They never seem
To brighten up your day
I'll be there
At the end of the lane
Where there waits
A vision to claim

High Tide

High tide is coming
My troubles on the rise.
And everybody I see,
Just makes me realize.
I ran out to the ocean
Turned me out to the sea
High tide is coming to drown me
Waves wash away
All the words have been said
And nothing is sleeping
They're all just dead
I ran out to the ocean
Turned me out to the sea
High tide is coming, wash over me
Where do I begin?
Where does it all end?
The rain's falling down,
Gonna flood the earth again.
I ran out to the ocean
Turned me out to the sea
High tide is coming, set me free

I Was Wronged

I was wronged
I was wronged and forgotten
I was wronged
I was wronged and forgotten
Lonely lady waiting at the station
Leavin' her man for a vacation
He's at home playing with scissors
Cutting his hair just like hers
Lovely lady is this seat taken?
Is that a ring or are you fakin?
My man left home earlier today
I need a friend and I have a way
I was wronged
I was wronged and forgotten
I was wronged
I was wronged and forgotten
This cat ain't so friendly
He's gonna scratch
Turn a leave, is it green?
Where's my stash?
Where's your shelter?
Where's your tree?
Where's your friend?
Or do you only need me?
Lost the time, unkept watch
It's comin' round, you better dodge
The hands on the clock are touching me
I'll touch you baby, but you gotta say please
Lonely lady meet my friend
His love to me; To heaven you will send
Lovely lady is this seat taken?
You don't get down, boy I was mistaken
I was wronged
I was wronged and forgotten
I was wronged
I was wronged and forgotten

So Long

So long to your backdoor
How many men have been there before
You told me once, you were gonna leave
But I didn't think, my smile you'd thieve
Oh, oh, just once more
I'm begging you, walk through my front door
Oh, oh, just once more
Oh, oh, just once more
You got me lying on the floor
Wondering when I'll hear that creaking door
You told me twice but I do not care
Forgive me darling but I can't help but stare
Oh, oh, just once more
I'm begging you please walk through my front door
I'm sick and tired of howling baby
Won't you come on home dear
Come home and save me
Now I asked for mercy
That you could not give
I told you darling, without you I can't live
But if you told me once, you told me before
And you ain't changed baby,
You keep lying and cheating more
So long to my front door
Don't you take another step on to my floor
I told you once, I won't say it twice
Underneath your ribs
Ain't nothing but ice

I called you up baby
To say that I'm in love
You never even answer
Why's it got to be so tough
Done this thing a thousand times
I never seem to learn
It's so hard to stop it
I tell myself not to yearn
And when I think
That I feel your love
And you touch me
I know there's someone up above
But then you change
And you throw me aside
Don't you see baby
All the lonely times I've cried
I don't need you baby
I'm going out on my own
You treat me like a child
But Lord knows I'm grown
It's so hard to stay away
I just can't help myself
You're so fine baby
Don't want nobody else

When the world seems cold
And your friends seem few
There is someone
Who cares for you
Tears, in your eyes
Your heart bleeds inside
There is someone
Who cares for you
When your disappointments come
And you feel so blue
There is someone
Who cares for you
He'll come down
From the skies
Wipe the tears
From your eyes
There is someone
Who cares for you
When the world seems cold
And your friends seem few
There is someone
Who cares for you
Tears in your eyes
Your heart bleeds inside
There is someone
Who cares for you
