Drink, Sit, Smoke

You lean left. I lean right.
Spin us both around and who’s to say who’s right?
Let’s drink, let’s sit. Let’s smoke and shoot the shit.
You stand there. I stand here.
You wonder why. To me it’s clear.
Let’s drink, let’s sit. Let’s smoke and shoot the shit.
Who’s your favorite singer? How about the weather?
Whatcha watchin’ on Netflix? I love our time together...
I think day. You think night.
You couldn’t be more wrong. I couldn’t be less right.
Let’s drink, let’s sit. Let’s smoke and shoot the shit.
The stones got bigger or the holes got smaller
The water’s lower or the bridge is taller
Let’s drink, let’s sit. Let’s smoke and shoot the shit.
How about the home team? Where do you go to eat?
How’ve the wife and kids been? I don’t get enough sleep...
You lean left. I lean right.
Spin us both around and who’s to say who’s right?

You say “you’re holding me back” You’re holding me back I was fine before you came along. Before you came along.
I need to look around. Forget what I’ve found. Something new’s bound to be good. So I probably should.
Yeah all my good friends Ain’t all that good
Who’s lining up by my side, who’s along for the ride, who’s upside is down. Nowhere to be found.
I’m used to being alone, out on the road, kinda misunderstood. Kinda misunderstood.
Yeah all my good friends Ain’t all that good
You say “you’re holding me back” You’re holding me back I was fine before you came along. So go and get along.
I’ll do just fine by myself, I’ll put it all on a shelf, I won’t look back. It’s best I don’t.
Yeah all my good friends Ain’t all that good

To Save A Dime
01:38
|
|||
We do what we can. Work with what we’ve got.
At the end of the day it ain’t a lot.
Scrape together some scraps. Try to make ends meet.
Hang on to every cliche. Wait and see.
A penny for your thoughts. I’ll take that every time.
I couldn’t jump over a nickel to save a dime
You’re gonna miss me babe when I go.
You won’t miss what I got, but you’ll miss what I know.
They tell you that’s what matters. That’s what matters most.
But we all chase rainbows. We’d all sell our own ghost.
A penny for your thoughts. I’ll take that every time.
I couldn’t jump over a nickel to save a dime
I couldn’t jump over a nickel to save a dime

Fall Out Of Love
01:47
|
|||
I like a cup of coffee
And so do you
We share a pot and read the paper
That’s what we do
I separate the sports
You read the local news
And when we hop into the car
We listen to the blues
But what if I change
What if you change
What if we change so much we
Fall out of love
What if we change so much we
Fall out of love
When I was young
Long before we met
Before I grew and understood the world
I leaned to the left
I can’t imagine shifting
That way again
But stranger things have surely happened
To more stubborn men
So what if I change
What if you change
What if we change so much we
Fall out of love
What if we change so much we
Fall out of love

You wanted me to pay for things I didn’t say
I put the blame on you for things you didn’t do
You wanted me to run from things I hadn’t done
We make the bed we’re lying in
When I look into your eyes and you look into my eyes
A little of us dies. We won’t apologize
Neither of us tries. We both realize
We make the bed we’re lying in
Then one day it all changed. We both went sane
We thought I was dead when i bonked my head
It knocked some sense in me and it helped you to see
We make the bed we’re lying in

Around You
01:46
|
|||
Pluck my hairs out one by one
Poke me in the eye just for fun
I’m pretty smart but I’m really dumb
Around you, around you
I like to be, I like to be, I like to be
Around you
I like to be around you
I trip, I fall, I think I bruised my side
You make me nervous, you’ve made me cry
I’m speechless and my tongue is tied
Around you, around you
I like to be, I like to be, I like to be
Around you
I like to be around you
I like to be, I like to be, I like to be
Around you
I like to be around you

The windows are broken, so is the front door
The rent is due and this is, all we can afford
We can search the town but, everything’s run down
Since we’re stuck living in this dump
We gotta keep our spirits up, up, up
He’s blind in one eye, actually it’s two
He ain’t getting any younger, there’s nothing we can do
Keep him away from walls, make sure he doesn’t fall
Share stories of his life as a pup
We gotta keep our spirits up, up, up...
Keep our friends and family close, that’s what matters most
Gather ‘round the front yard stump
We gotta keep our spirits up, up, up

My Long-Lost Cabin
02:08
|
|||
Even if I knew where to go, and which turns to make
And I helped everyone make a list of all the things to take
We all agreed to turn off our phones, and just enjoy the silence
And all those who weren’t so sure just agreed to try it
Would we ever really find the time?
Would we ever really find the time?
Next week’s soccer, so we’d hafta show up late
Instead of cutting it short, we might as well just wait
Then we’re into the winter and beyond that
I haven’t really filled my planner that far in advance
Would we ever really find the time?
Would we ever really find the time?
I’ve got a mound a bills to pay, I ought to dust the shelves
And all those streaks from 2018 ain’t gonna extend themselves
I’ve got to plan my meals for the week, and give the dog a bath
I think it’s best I just stay home, so I can just relax
I’ve got a cabin somewhere in the country
We used to go there just to unwind
I’ve got a cabin somewhere in the country
But, would we ever really find the time?
Would we ever really find the time?

Pretty Nice Night
01:11
|
|||
It’s a pretty nice night tonight
It’s a pretty nice night to rest
It’s a pretty nice night to read myself to sleep I guess
It’s a pretty nice night tonight
It’s a pretty nice night to chill
It’s a pretty nice night to hang with you so I guess I will
It’s a pretty nice night tonight
It’s a pretty nice night to die
It’s a pretty nice night for you to all be by my side

A Sound For A Smell
04:18
|
|||
I’ve got a story that you won’t believe
Wait til you hear what the judge did to me
See I’m a baker and I don’t cheat
I charge a fair price for my sweet treats
I don’t offer samples or donate to the poor
People buy what people can afford
If someone steals from me I expect them to pay
And my neighbor stole day after day
He’s not a millionaire but he’s got a few
Yet he went and stole so I had to sue
Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang.
Gotta make everything alright.
Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang.
Gotta make everything alright.
See every day while on his beat-up stoop
He’d throw crumbs to the birds and offer strangers soup
But more importantly he wouldn’t spend a cent
In my store yet he enjoyed the scent
The sweet smells would travel all through the air
Straight from my ovens right on over there
He’d breathe it all in he’d smile having fun
Made his old stale bread taste like a cinnamon bun
And for such pleasure provided by me
Surely he should have to pay a little smelling fee...
Yeah there ain’t nothin’ that I can think of
You get for free except for maybe love...
And it sure seemed like the judge agreed
He had him take three coins out I thought to give to me
But instead he told the man
To pass the coins from hand to hand
Then the judge asked me if I had heard the coins
And if the sound of the money had brought me joy
Of course it did now, send the coins my way
He said “no but it’s settled, see you’ve just been paid”
A smell was stolen, but it’s all fine now
A sound for a smell, a smell for a sound
Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang.
Gotta make everything alright.
Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang.
Gotta make everything alright.
A smell was stolen, but all is well
A smell for a sound, a sound for a smell
Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang.
Gotta make everything alright.
Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang.
Gotta make everything alright.
Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang.
Gotta make everything alright.
Gotta do this, walla-walla bing-bang.
Gotta make everything alright.

I chatted with a priest last night online
His house is just three blocks from mine
He loves his church, he’s super proud
But every week there’s a smaller crowd
He needs a way to grow his flock
It might be passe but
Maybe rock and roll can save the day
Can rock and roll save the day?
He heard my songs online and hunted me down
They sounded fine, he kinda liked the sound
Since I live nearby, since I don’t hate the lord
Since I seem okay, since I said I’m bored
He asked me once, he asked me twice
Eventually and just to be nice
I agreed to play, but I don’t know why
I don’t sing out loud, I’m not that guy
He may be throwing darts or maybe not
Perhaps he’s right
Maybe rock and roll can save the day
Can rock and roll save the day?
I can dance around and I don’t swear that much
And I won’t talk up Satan, but is that enough?
He wants me to play for his congregation
It might as well be the entire nation
I’ll sleep in that day and say I forgot
My songs ain’t right they’re too much rock and roll
Rock and roll can save the day
Can rock and roll save the day?

Nothing At All
00:42

I’ve been thinking a lot, about nothing at all
How what we all think matters doesn’t, really matter at all
The world won’t stop spinning, or come to an end
Even when, we lose a friend
