Pine Needle Fire - 2020
1. some poor soul
some poor soul had to get up at 4
i hear the shower running in the room next door
elevator dings and the phone starts to ring
better stand up straight-come out the gate-the race is on
when we’ve been here ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
some poor soul couldn’t take it no more
had to get up at midnight and walk the floor
mr. pitch black morning can’t you be my friend
yes, i’ll be with you on your way to nowhere and back again
the world still spinning round and round
just like it did before
with nothing holding me right now
i think i’m letting go
some poor soul had to get up and love
i hear the little feet on the floor above
little baby scream and the television singing
does anybody know the songs
that we used to sing before
when we’ve been here ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
with nothing holding me right now
i think my work is done
shining...oh shining…
bright shining as the sun
so many poor souls
had to get up in the morning
gotta run out the door
look at the people tryin to get along
comin home every day
tired and broken down
ten thousand years people
how long how long how long
oh little baby screams
don’t you hear the beautiful song
keep on shining till all your work is done
I see you shining
bright shining as the sun
2. rocket to nowhere
you woke up on the wrong side of town
got yourself a headache-whoo-that won’t quit now
kid charlemagne skippin in the ragged jukebox of your brain
just another morning
oh well go out and have yourself a blessed day
bricks in the window you put them there yourself
too many faces looking in
standin on the bridge you don’t need nobody’s help
just wanna feel the wind on your skin
rocket to nowhere and you don’t mind
ticket to a fairgrounds-whoo-but you won’t ride
you called me last night from the station
where they’re getting to know you well
look on the bright side you said
at least they didn’t look in the glove compartment
and who’s gonna keep your tank filled up
who’s gonna take your midnight call
i’m running ‘round with a flashlight and a net
trying to catch you when you fall
i love you…when you gonna come back home
three strikes against you but you won’t sit down
you keep on swinging-whoo-who knows what you’re seeing now
everybody’s gone from the stadium and the lights have gone out
nothing but the moon to watch you when you steal your way home
who’s gonna take you in their arms tonight
who’s gonna say they’ll make you feel alright
who’s gonna know how the morning feels
when it’s rolling down on you
i love you-when you gonna come back home
3. lazy (and i know it)
one time i had a real job
it didn’t thrill me
they put me on a desk job
it liked to kill me
i was supposed to do something
i can’t think what it was
don’t you understand me
i got to be myself
movin up the ladder
that’s for someone else
people say i’m lazy
but i’m workin hard in my mind…yeah yeah
lazy and i know it
what you gonna do
wastin all your energy
tryin to make me be like you
tell the truth now baby
don’t you wanna dream sometime
bust ass for 3 months coast for 9
catch me in the night club closing time
mama said “some day baby
you gotta stop your messing around”
it’s not that i’m above it…the daily grinding
lucky and i know it…so never mind me
waitin on the weekend
never was my style
lazy and i know it
what you gonna do
wastin all your energy
tryin to make me be like you
tell the truth now baby
don’t you wanna dream sometime
repeat
4. pine needle fire
you and me started
a pine needle fire
when that flame gets goin
ain’t nothin you can do
smoke is rising
like a black snake the sky
fire ran so deep
nobody could get close
love made of turpentine
love made of smoke and tears
out on the fire break lines
and up the tower we will climb
said we were too young
to be playin with fire
now there ain’t enough water in the world
yeah to put the thing out
you can’t run you can’t run
you just get swept away
so we climb and we climb
laughin all the way
love made of turpentine
love made of smoke and tears
out on the fire break lines
and up the tower we will climb
5. even the sunlight
even the sunlight breaks me down
how can i sleep when the night is spinning
watching the rain running in the street
this is the place where the shadows meet
jet lights blinking across the sky
even the angels got to cry
thought it was you but i was deceived
only the wind running through the trees
they say everything’s just the way it should be
they don’t know what you mean to me
jet lights blinking across the sky
even the angels got to cry
who’s gonna keep the rain from dripping
who’s gonna stop the night from slipping
down a- down around me
who’s gonna feel the love you’re giving
who’s gonna make this life worth living now
now-now you’re gone
even the sunlight breaks me down
how can i sleep when the night is spinning
watching the rain running in the street
this is the place where the shadows meet
6. i’ve got faith in you
when it’s storming in your heart
and you’re lost before you start
and the lonely road you’re on is never ending
when it’s anybody’s guess if you’ll ever come to rest
there is something that want to you to remember
i’ve got faith in you
even if all the sad things that you say are true
someday these clouds will all blow through
i’ve got faith in you…in you
when you’re runnin out of luck
and the streets won’t hold you up
and the meaness of the night knows where to find you
when you’re whistling in the dark
‘cause your flame is just a spark
and you think your brighter days are all behind you
chorus
chorus repeat
7. another shining morning
you can’t see the future can you
maybe that’s all for the best
’cause that just leaves us with today
and it’s enough of a mess
do you really want to know what’s out there
what good would it do us anyway
don’t have to look that far to see
there ain’t no justice in the world
here comes another shining morning
it’s rainin down from the night before
don’t have to be some kind of genius
to see the wolf is at the door
and that’s another thing
look what’s that lying on the floor
it’s people’s hopes and dreams
for a better world than we had before
i have to reel myself back in
but you can’t erase the things you see
if i ever wake up from this dream
you’re gonna know what you mean to me
chorus
you can’t see the future can you
don’t wanna know how the story ends
better just hang on to today
don’t wanna see what’s around this bend
we’re gonna feel our way back home
just like everybody else
meet me at the bottom of this day
yeah we’ll go up from there
chorus
8. manningtown
i love a girl in manningtown
she lives in a tar paper house
she rides her bike to the dollar store
and she never lets me down
poor as the day that she was born
poor as the flowers in the field
poor as the sky that never ends
and she never lets me down
god knows you pay the price when you walk away
oh-from where you’re meant to be
maybe you can roll the dice but you never win
i didn’t see you for the treasure you were
wakes up singin a gospel song
somethin she can hang her troubles on
the mornin sun lives in her face
she never lets me down
some people seem to just grow up blessed
and they don’t even have to try
some people live the piney woods
and they just scrapin by
god knows you pay the price when you walk away
oh-from where you’re meant to be
maybe you can roll the dice but you never win
i didn’t see you for the treasure you were
i’m lookin at the sidewalk feelin low
nothin in the world that i can show
here comes a comet cross the sky
headed to manningtown
9. built to last
red mud seeps thru the cracks in the floor
the weeds are growin in my crooked driveway
a little reminder from the gods above
it’s all just temporary anyway
the blue evening settles like a cloud
on all little people in this town
now they don’t mind if the world’s is a mess
they’re busy with other things i guess
only be here for a little while
then we’re gone
i thought we were built to last
i bought you a diamond from the jewelry store
and now you wanna make me take it back
you don’t need nothin but my love you say
and how am i gonna argue with that
guide me baby to the palace of peace
and keep my soul from wandering
only be here for a little while
then we’re gone
i thought we were built to last
10. don’t get me started
don’t get me started ‘cause i can’t stop
like a broken record runnin ‘round the clock
all the things you’re saying-messin with my head
i got a crowd of strangers underneath my bed
well, you read my cards
you can see my past
you tell me that love wasn’t meant to last
you can take me back to the good ole days
when i didn’t know nothin ‘bout your crazy ways
you can say you’re sorry
i know it don’t mean a thing
you can say you’re changing
but you always stay the same
you can love somebody
who’s never gonna love you back
better take your suitcase
head down the lonely tracks
don’t get me drivin around the bend
where i’m writin letters that i’ll never send
you can read my cards
you can see my past
you can tell me that love wasn’t meant to last
you can take me back to the good ole days
when I didn’t know nothin ‘bout your crazy ways
you can say you’re sorry
i know it don’t mean a thing
you can say you’re changing
but you always stay the same
you can love somebody
who’s never gonna love you back
better take your suitcase
head down the lonely tracks
you can read my cards you can see my past
you can tell me that my love wasn’t meant to last
you can take me back to the good ole days
but you can’t do nothin ‘bout your crazy ways
chorus repeat
11. never be another day
tryin to get your day started
confusion swirlin in your mind
pieces that won’t fit together
in a puzzle you got to leave behind
never be another day like the one you’re living
never be another chance to pass this way again
never be another sun like the one you’re feelin
never be a better time to let your life begin
uh uh oh oh uh uh mm mm
everybody in the house is fussin and fightin
they can’t get right to save their souls
nothin in the world you can do about it
just put on your shoes and hit the dusty road
chorus
if you could see you like i see you
you’d never have another minute’s doubt
you got the fire and spirit in you
don’t ever let the world put it out
chorus
12. my lucky day
silver dime layin on the sidewalk
it’s my lucky day my lucky day
when somebody try to pull me down
i fly away i fly away
pain of the world runnin off of me
i picture you i picture you
holdin back the clouds so i can see
my lucky day is shining through
shining through
i found something that no one can touch
it’s deep inside it’s deep inside
little bit of treasure that’s mine to keep
so i don’t have to run and hide
empty box that waits for me
oh that’s just no way to be
i don’t mind what i can’t see
maybe it’s just my lucky day
everything i’m finding now
i don’t know how but it’s all that i need
all the shadows in my mind
i hope they’ll find somewhere to rest in peace
silver drops falling from the highline
it’s my lucky day my lucky day
i don’t mind if the sun don’t shine
this is where i want to stay
dirt of the city runnin off of me
i let it rain i let it rain
i’m not far from the one i love
i guess it’s just my lucky day yeah
my lucky day
