01 The Way Will Be Shown

-----
How will I know when it is right, when it seems my days go on and on without light
It's a long row to hoe, when your there all alone, but with patience the way will be shown

When do I turn and where do I go, it's such a hard and cold and dark lonely road
It's a long row to hoe, when your there all alone, but with patience the way will be shown

It's a long, long and crazy ride, though time has been so good
It's a long, long and crazy ride, although time has been so good to me
I still need someone to make me complete, yea

I know she is out there for me and it's patient I must be
Keep trying to find someone who can understand me
I have no reason to complain, but I still do it just the same
Hoping to find that one of a kind
I know she is out there for me, it's patient I must be
I need to ind someone who can understand me
I hope to find, that one of a kind, someone who can understand

Well it took sometime, till you came along, now this lonely life is gone
I was lost now I'm found, It's a long row to hoe, when you're there all alone
But with patience the way will be shown

It's a long, long and crazy ride, once again time has been so good
It's a long, long and crazy ride, once again time has been so good to me
I now have someone to make me complete, yea

I knew you were out there for me and I waited patiently
I keep trying to find someone who can understand me
But then you came into my life, took what was wrong and made it right
So happy to find that one of a kind
I knew you were out there for me and I waited patiently
I kept trying to find someone who can understand me
When your down and out, take my word have no doubt
With patience the way will be shown

02 Can’t You See?

-----
I know there are times I seem unaware
How much I need you in this life that we share
I forget to tell you just how much I care, I care

I’m livin’ a dream, never thought it would come
Like playin’ the slots and I find finally won
Now that I found you my search is done

I'm crazy ‘bout you, it's true can't you see
I’m here singing this song all about you from me
My heart’s on the line with all this rhythm and rhyme
Can't you see, can't you see, you see that

I traveled so far, searched high and low
How it is I found you, well God only knows
This love that we share, somehow just seems to grow
I say, let it grow

I'm lost without you, it is so true now can't you see
I'm there for you, and then always you're there for me
You are my light, in the very dark of the night
Can't you see, can't you see?

I'm crazy ‘bout you, it is so true now can't you see
I’m here singing this song all about you just from me
My heart’s on the line with all this rhythm and this rhyme
Can't you see, can't you see, Can't you see, can't you see
Can't you see, can't you see, Can't you see, can't you see?

03 Freedom Blues

-----
Big mistake from the start, yeah and it came right from the top
We got boots on the ground, way out in Baghdad, Iraq

This war with all that it’s cost
How can we ever win, with all that it’s lost

But they’re waving the flag, red, white & blue
Kind of a drag, it’s so sad but true
They just keep waving the flag, red, white, & blue
Who’s gonna pay, why that’d be me and you, that’s right

We shocked and awed the war was won
Then we found out it’d just begun
An ill-fated plan, that everyday feels more wrong
A shame to see, this tragedy
Cause so much misery and pain
We got FOX News at 5, spin doctors and lies

It’s now time to reflect, on just what’s gone down
Of course no weapons of, mass “distraction” were ever found
But the fear, and hatred grow
It’s now more unsafe, right here at home

But they’re waving the flag, red, white & blue
Kind of a drag, it’s so sad but true
They just keep waving the flag, red, white, & blue
Who’s gonna pay, oh hell you know who

We’ve created a mess it’s anyone’s guess
How many years we’ll have to pay
For the mistake of waging war this way
The shit’s hit the fan in this ancient land
With their grand pathetic plan
We got FOX News at 5, spin doctors and lies
FOX News at 5, spin doctors and lies
FOX News at 5, spin doctors and lies
Spin doctors and lies
We got FOX News at 5, spin doctors and lies
Spin doctors and lies

04 Fade To Black

-----
Times like now I contemplate , wonder who I am
Where I've been , where I'm goin'
Never had a grand design , got no secret plan
End up where the winds blowing

There I go , here you stay
We both know , be best that way
Can't be sure why this is so
Cause I don't really know

In my heart you'll always be right there
Feel your warm embrace the sweet scent of your hair
Reach out in the dark and find you're gone
Such a price to pay when it's time for movin' on unh huh

On my own but not alone , won me with your smile
Gave your love always knowin'
That life is so full of change , a river running wild
Can't keep from overflowin'

The last scene , fades to black
Got my bags , already packed
Searched for words , tried in vain
Not a thing left to say

In my heart you'll always be right there
Feel your warm embrace the sweet scent of your hair
Reach out in the dark and find you're gone
Such a price to pay when it's time for movin' on unh huh

The last scene , fades to black
Don't know when , I'll be back
Searched for words , tried in vain
Not a thing left to say

The last scene , fades to black
Don't know when , I'll be back
Searched for words , tried in vain
Not a thing left to say
Searched for words , tried in vain
Not a thing left to say

05 On My Knees

-----
Remember when I told you I had to go, broke your heart and walked out that door alone
Can it be I never knew what I had, now what I had is gone, it's gone, it's gone
I took your love and I threw it away, never thinking the price that I had to pay
I didn’t know what love was about, then I figured it out
Yes I figured it out yeaa

No glimmer of hope that I can see, no reason to be with me (with me)
These things that I do they have consequences, now I have come to my senses
Took your love threw it away, I never thought I had to pay
I didn’t know what love’s about, then I figured it out

Down on my knees, hey
Begging you please to come back to me
Hurt you before, I won't hurt you no more
I'll give you my heart, my soul anything
This time around only love I will bring
Down on my knees, hey
I'll cause you no pain, you've been so good to me
You'll have no regrets, well that's my guarantee
You got to believe what I say is all true
Just one more chance to prove my love to you

Guitar solo

Down on my knees, hey
Begging you please to come back to me
Hurt you before, I won't hurt you no more
I'll give you my heart, my soul anything
This time around only love I will bring
I'll cause you no pain, you've been so good to me
You'll have no regrets, well that's my guarantee
You got to believe what I say is all true
Down on my knees

06 The Bong Song

-----
Get up for work in the morning, come home such a hard day
I know where I, I am going, my friends help find the way

Take out the bong it won't be long, when nothing will seem wrong
UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH
Just a puff may be enough, smooth out what's going rough
It's some amazing stuff

A short life we have been given, sometimes with silly rules
Enjoy the ride to the fullest, just be a happy fool

Lift the clouds shake off the veil; we'll soon be setting sail
UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH
A toke a little smoke, makes everything a joke
Time to smile, say hello, oh, oh, oh

From Satchmo to Willie Nelson, Sir Paul and Bob Marley
Been known to roll up a fat one, kick back and Let It Be

Take out the bong it won't be long, when nothing will seem wrong
UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH
Just a puff may be enough, smooth out what's going rough
It's some amazing stuff

Chillin’ out up in Vancouver, Lightin’ up in Amsterdam
While it seems we’re going backwards, right here in our own land

Lift the clouds shake off the veil; we'll soon be setting sail
UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH, UNH
A toke a little smoke, makes everything a joke
Time to smile, say hello, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, OH

07 Two Eyes To See

-----
Don’t put too much faith in the things that you hear, or the books that you read or the movies you see, when their telling all of the things that you need to be happy

It’s fine to a point but we're on overload, got the tv selling us pills, got the preacher saving our souls, trying to make you believe you'll never figure things out on your own

We’re never given the truth, it’s all done with a smile
better think for yourself, take control of your life

One shot, one try, just go ahead and roll the die
One hope, one dream, like nothing you have ever seen
One day, one night, everything’s going to be all right
Two eyes, two eyes, to see, to see
The way it’s always meant to be

Can’t get through the day without some gorgeous babe, with her boobs in your face on your wide TV screen, giant billboards you see and the cover of magazines

It’s all well and good but it’s gone way too far, use it for selling you beer and for selling you cars. Always making you feel that it’s given away for free, ain't nothin free

We’re never given the truth, it’s all done with a smile
better think for yourself, take control of your life

One shot, one try, just go ahead and roll the dice
One hope, one dream, like nothing you have ever seen
One day, one life, everything’s going to be all right
Two eyes, two eyes, to see, to see
The way it’s always meant to be

One shot, you better think for yourself. One try take control of your life
One dream, the way it's always meant to be, two eyes tosee it's never given away for free
Can't get through the day without some gourgeous babe, got her boobs in your face on your wide tv screen
It's never given away for free, no, no, no
Got the tv selling us pills, got the preacher saving our souls, It's time to figure things out on our own, yea, yea, yea
They're always telling us lies, it's all done with a smile, don't ever let em think for you, no,no,no
Nothings given away for free, no, no,

08 Memorial for Two

-----
Time to carry on, you were here now your gone
And although I know I’m not here all alone
I’m left now more on my own

Remember when, back in the day
You came into my life out California way
We’d bake on the beach, watch the waves
I can still see sun the sunshine on, sunshine on your face

Like two peas in a pod, we carried on so
Top down on the road, in San Diego

We spent our time gettin stoned, then we’d talk on and on
Kind of strange how it goes, seems a shame don’t you know

In control and so strong, right through to the end
It's still hard to believe, I lost my good friend

Though the years have gone by
Still I miss you now, now
Just like a soft breeze through my heart
I feel your presence here somehow
Though the years have gone by
Still I miss you now, now
And like a soft breeze through my heart
I feel your presence here somehow

Our paths will cross when my time is past
Once again feel your love and your laugh
Our paths will cross when my time is past
Once again feel your love and your laugh

09 Can't Give Up

-----
Like a prisoners of a history, filled with so much misery and pain,
Slave ships long ago and far away, scattered a people to this very day

Others come when there’s something to gain, sell the guns that help to seal a fate
Turn their backs as civil wars rage on, all part of a great do nothing plan

Can’t give up when a people there are dying, can’t give up when all one can do is cry
Can’t give up when it seems no use in trying, never asking who, when, how or why

Can’t give up when a people there are dying, can’t give up when all one can do is cry
Can’t give up when it seems no use in trying, never asking how, what, where and why

You shake your head and say nothing can be done
Don’t want to hear, don’t want to know what is wrong
Enough hardship living my own life, not my problem, wash my hands, close my eyes

A higher power says that we are all one, connected in ways we cannot understand
A part of all that is and what’s been done, even in a such a far, far away land

Can’t give up when a people there are dying, can’t give up when all one can do is cry
Can’t give up when it seems no use in trying, never asking who, when, how or why

Can’t give up when a people there are dying, can’t give up when all one can do is cry
Can’t give up when it seems no use in trying, never asking how, what, where and why

10 Watched Over You

-----
From the moment that I held you
So tiny in my arms
Vowed to love you and protect you
Keep you safe and out of harm
You’re my daughter now forever
From me you cannot hide
And to see you stand before me
Fills my heart with pride

Watched over you
Heard you laugh saw you cry
Be the one that you can come to
‘Til the day I die
We're travelers on this journey
Bound to where I don't know
You're always on my mind
You are part of my soul

How the years so quickly go by
You are no longer a child
But it's still important to me
To see you with a smile
There's a special place in my heart
Where you'll always reside
And even when I'm dead and gone
I'll still be by your side

Watched over you
Heard you laugh saw you cry
Be the one that you can turn to, (2nd time “count on”)
‘Til the day I die
We're travelers on this journey
Bound to where I don't know
You're always on my mind
You are part of my soul
