Virginia Man 03:53
Virginia Man So many here Don’t even know how the world goes Don’t even know that it’s round as pie They itch for riches They pound for pounding An eye for and I and I and I and I We come from far away We come from up the road Say Duke I am your father This is the motherlode And your mama wants you to know Virginia man – We’re strong for you So many here Stuck in the ways of an old tribe Living on anger untreated Oh so heavy you could die Smoldering Unforgiving No one but you and you’re my oh my oh my We come from far away We come from up the road Say Duke I am your father This is the motherlode And your mama wants you to know Virginia man – We believe in you I am a child of the Commonwealth Since those English motherfuckers Stuck their flag in the ground You’re gonna feel a little pinch In your Jamestown ©2019 All Rights Reserved

Benton the Dreamer There’s reasons why I’m dreamin’ of that guy Who went away And I don’t know why Shadow and sun Fall on the only one I guess he took the bus I guess he had to run Bound by these chains of memory The misty past is all I see So full and so empty The space between you and me Dancing slow Holding onto my dear Joe Yes he smiled like the sun Can’t seem to let that summer go Bound by these chains of memory The misty past is all I see So full and so empty The space between you and me Seeds and leaves In my dreams walking over endless wet I went to the shaman to learn what it meant She says it’s a dream of the end coming from very close Maybe with the head of a wild dog Near a shining lake With a face in the water With a face in the water ©2019 All Rights Reserved

Cashville 03:17
Cashville Sailin’ into Cashville With the sun on my back With my heart full of soul And my songs in my sack Neon girls And party lights I don’t wanna see the sights I don’t wanna pay the price Yellow rose of Texas Black rose of Tennessee That girl with the rose tattoo Smiling at me I’m gonna write a song about You baby - count on it I pay too damn much For this too small no bedroom That doubles as my office And doubles as my studio Which doubles as my temple Where I pray Where I pray Where I scrape this damn hill For a scrap of a song And I pray I will sing cuz I’m shameless I will write cuz I must I will carry on in this song Until I rust I will sing cuz I’m shameless I will write cuz I must I will live in this song Dust to dust ©2019 All Rights Reserved

Ain’t Dead to Me Did I ever tell you how we lost touch No I guess not – I guess not The skies have raced on by And the nights have all Run down the drain And one too many Lost loves Howling in my brain Did I ever tell you about your funeral No I guess not – I guess not There was one In New York City And another in D. C. There’s just too many Dead loves Who ain’t dead to me Dancing on Saturdays Playing in the rain All the recent leavers Relieved of all pain Well the short version lies But the longer one is true So much larger than life-size An original like you I’m somewhere below lower And it’s something more than not fair I’m barely holding it Together Suckin air Suckin air Dancing on Saturdays And playing in the rain And all the recent leavers Relieved of all pain ©2019 All Rights Reserved
