No Regrets
Darling no regrets
I’m so glad we met
And even though we made a mess
I’m glad that we said yes
Darling no regrets
You know I love you still
And I always will
Love is not a test
I know we did our best
Darling no regrets
Here’s to your success
May all you do be blessed
I wish you every happiness
Darling no regrets.

The song I been singin’
Done got tired
I could tell you different
But I’d be a liar
I’m gonna change my tune
Gonna change my tune

Well you ain’t gonna here it anymore

The last song I sang you

Let me sing you another you can sing along
Gonna change my tune

Believe me baby when I say
Everything is different starting today

Gonna change my tune
Believe me honey baby

Drops in the Ocean
04:56
|

Drops in the Ocean
The doves down in south Austin
Still wake me in the morn
You’ve said so long and now you’ve gone
And my heart’s just a little bit torn
Everybody came and went
Now all my money’s spent
Got no house, Got no rent
Tried so hard didn’t even make a dent
You can’t decide if you’re on the fence
That nightingale must have been heaven sent
Just to make us laugh and wonder a bit
At loves great big ocean
We made so much love that we barely slept
So much love with no regrets
So much love we paid off our debts
We dove right in and we got wet in the ocean
In the ocean
Love’s great big ocean
We dove right in
I bought a western shirt you know the kind with snaps
And the trumpet players playing taps
It’s hard to force yourself to relax
When the future looms with impending doom
And the woman I left back in San Francisco
She’s still crying into her pillow
Four years like a blanket wrapped ‘round her shoulders
She’s still wishing that I’d hold her
And I wouldn’t mind, I wouldn’t mind
Did you ever see your reflection in a tear rolling down a freckled cheek?
Did you ever have weeks feel like days and days feel like weeks?
I drank scotch and played backgammon
Till I couldn’t keep my eyes open
Tried to let her go but I couldn’t help hoping
For a chance of what we never had
Are we throwing out the good with the bad?
I’m still smiling she’s still sad
An we’re both just drops in the ocean
In the ocean
Love’s great big ocean
Drops in the ocean
That’s all we are
Well the water forms ‘round the porch screen door
I wonder what I’m still sitting here for
Put my feet up the wall lay down on the floor
Maybe play a little piano
But the water won’t stop so I better start swimming
Tears well up I better keep grinning
The crowds shown up guess I better start singing about love’s great big ocean
Well my best friends down in Mexico
I wonder how he’s doing
I wonder if he knows
That I spent the night in a cheap motel by the side of the road?
Except that cheap motels aren’t cheap anymore
Sixty-five bucks and the toilet didn’t flush
And the TV didn’t even have a remote
Still it felt just like a boat
Out on the ocean
Floating on the ocean
Sailing on the ocean
Surfing on the ocean in my very own boat
Well I went to bed early got up late
Some folks think it’s great some folks can’t relate
Some folks dance with the devil I’d rather dance with my fate
And take the muses out to dinner
We had gospel brunch down at Maria’s
If you don’t come by later I guess I’ll see you
Somewhere down the line
Don’t worry about me I’ll be fine
Just tell me a joke
Make me laugh
I’ll be sleeping on your couch for a week and a half
I need a jump in the springs
A roll in the grass
I wonder how long I can last In this ocean
This great big ocean
Lost in the ocean
Come on in
The waters fine
And I don’t mind.

Yesterday Comes Too Soon
03:34
|
|||
Here I am naked as the day I was born
Sitting on this bed in this hotel room
It don’t matter what come before
Yesterday comes to soon
I’ve got this Honda to carry me
I’ve got six strings for company
I’ve got your voice to remind me of all I left behind me
I’ve got a storage unit in San Rafael
And a host of well-wishers to wish me well
I’m banging around like a clapper in a bell
Yesterday comes to soon
Yesterday it comes too soon
Try to remember December and it’s already June
Take a note from the birds and try and whistle a tune
Yesterday comes to soon
Everywhere I’ve been people’ve been so kind
Given me a bed and piece of their mind
With all these pieces how do I find mine?
Yesterday comes too soon
Hell no I ain’t waiting
I’m alive and I’m celebrating
If life is a train and death is just a station
Yesterday comes too soon
Folks have given me a meal and come to see me play
And many a one has asked me to stay
I just keep rolling on my way
Yesterday comes to soon
If you’re dancing like a chicken or your howling at the moon
If you’re saved or you’re damned either way you’re doomed
Yesterday comes too soon.

All Right with Me

All Right with Me
I’ve got nothing in my pocket
I’ve got nothing up my sleeve
I’ve got nothing to hold on to
I’ve got nothing to believe
But it’s all right, it’s all right with me
I’ve got nothing in my mailbox
I’ve got nothing but time
I’ve got nothing on my calendar
I’ve got nothing on my mind
It’s all right, it’s all right with me
You look good wearing nothing
And there’s nothing in our way
If you want to get to doing something babe
All you got to do is say
It’s all right, it’s all right with me.

That Kind of Blue
03:19
|
|||
Railroad tracks and river bends
An unexpected call from a long lost friend
The bittersweet sadness when the story ends
Eighth notes from a saxophone
After a long trip and I’m heading home
The soft morning silence when I wake alone
That kind of blue
I can’t remember
But it makes me swear that I once knew
That kind of blue
That sings so soulful
That old melody that gospel tune
That kind of blue
Chagall windows at the institute
Chicory flowers sticking out of my boots
Playing an old piano on a rainy afternoon
The sound of the breeze as it blows
The faint hint of sandalwood and rose
I’m laughing and I’m crying because she knows
That kind of blue, I can’t hold on to
But it makes me feel I’m almost there
That kind of blue
Like the darkest midnight
I can’t see a thing but I’m not scared
That kind of blue
That kind of blue
That speaks of freedom
And calls me out from my hiding place
That kind of blue
That asks for nothing
Just lays me down, kisses my face
That kind of blue
These six strings show me
When she’s sleeping softly in the next room
That kind of blue
That lets her hold me
Then let’s me go to watch her bloom
That kind of blue.

Love’s Last Arrow
03:34
|
|||
Me and love’s angel
We’re at this bar
And I was complaining how I couldn’t get that far
With this dark haired beauty at the other end
He said don’t worry I’ll take care of this my friend
He stood up and drained his glass
Took out his little bow
Pulled back his last arrow
And he let it go
And it nearly knocked him over
But cross the crowded bar room it sped
Found my dark haired beauty
And hit her in the head
Love’s last arrow
Has missed its mark
Hit her head but Not her heart
Cupid’s quiver’s empty
My heart is too
I shouldn’t let him tempt me
When he’s had a few
Hey cupid ,
Look what you did what you did
Hey cupid!
Aw’ man you missed again
Now you might think love would come round pretty quick
With cupid as my friend
You’d think I’d have my pick
But every time we go out the girls think he’s so cute
With those little wings
And his birthday suit
An they never notice me
but you know he’s not to blame
He tries his best to help me
He’s just got shitty aim
Love’s last arrow’s missed its mark
Hit her head but
Not her heart
In the morning when she awakes
Her heart will be fine
But mine still aches
Hey cupid
Look what you did what you did
Hey cupid,
Aw’ man you missed again
Come on let’s get a cab
We’ll get you home.

In The Morning

In the morning
Birds singing early in the morning
In the morning
Cooking breakfast baby in the morning
In the evening
We’re walking early in the evening
In the evening
We’re laughing early in the evening
And when the sun goes down
We’ll drive the truck to town
See who’s playing down at the old saloon
When we get home
Disconnect the phone
The kids are at their grandma’s house it’s just you and me alone
Till the morning
You and me baby till the morning
Till the morning
Sleeping late early in the morning.

Coming Along
02:58

Coming Along
Where do I call home?
Where do these bones belong?
Anywhere I lay my head
Anywhere I sing my song
By and by further on
We’ll all be dead and gone
Further on by and by
Lord I don’t want to die
If you’re not coming along
Mostly I tend to struggle
Fight my way through each day
I just get myself in trouble
Delving deeper in the fray
By and by further on
It’s only bound to make me strong
Further on by and by
All I can do is try
Guess I’m coming along
Why do I make it so hard?
How stubborn can one man be?
Been round the world
While in my own back yard
You were waiting right here for me
Singing –aren’t you coming along?
Coming along.
