A Retrospective

Sing a song with me if you believe we need a change
Sing a song with me if you believe, if you believe
One o'clock on a Tuesday night, I'll meet you at the pit
It's humid out in late July, we surely gonna get bit
I guess this is what it's gonna be like
Night after night, living suburban life
Just another month to go, and, mama, I can't wait
My head is so damn filled with smoke, but for once I'm thinking straight
I guess I got to make the most of this
I got to make the most of this chance you've given me
And you can find life in the strangest of places, yes you can
But all you want to do is hide your faces in the sand
And I wish you would take my warm embraces by the hand
‘Cause I’m just trying to cover all my bases, yes I am
Now summer's gone and I'm moving on, and some of you are staying here
I wish you well, but it's hard to tell if you'll see me for years
I guess I'll miss this a little bit
But I foresee it being the same old shit
I need a few new faces, a few new places
And maybe just a little tighter fit
Oh, oh, oh, oh… sing a song with me
Oh, oh, oh, oh… sing a song with me

Mama Said
03:20

Mama said what daddy don’t know
Won’t hurt him, son, so just let it go…
Mama said what daddy don’t know
Won’t hurt him, son, so just let it go
He’s been on the road away from home
And I can’t carry this load, baby, all alone
Mama said what daddy don’t know
Don’t hurt him, son, so just let it go
He’s been on the road away from home
And I can’t carry this load, baby, all alone
Now look at me, I need to hear you say
That you understand before I walk away
I’m gonna shut the door and turn out the light
Now not another word except goodnight
Goodnight…
Mama said what daddy don’t know
Won’t hurt him, son, so just let it go…

"We"
04:09
|
|||
Peace – I can see
But it doesn’t sound to me
Like you want it in the very least
And all of these things you say should be
Well, they seem to antagonize me
And I don’t get the sense that we agree
On what it means to be free
And you can’t honestly believe
That we don’t see
You’re just trying to please
The powers that be
Instead of “We”
Peace – I believe
Can truly be achieved
If we want it in the very least
But what we need is someone who can see
That we all share the same needs
And if we ever want to be free
Well, we’ll have to agree on what that means

Pretty Damn Good
02:51
|

Every morning when I wake up I find you on my mind
It’s getting to be all the time
And I can’t seem to make the damn thing rhyme
And I know you don’t wanna hear what I have to say
But it can’t wait another day
And I can’t seem to make it go away
I can’t make it go away; make it go away; I can’t make it go away
And I’ve tried so hard to be cool and watch my tongue
Not every song needs to be sung
But right now, baby, I’ve got to sing this one
I’ve got to sing this one; I’ve got to sing this one; I’ve got to sing this one
‘Cause I’ve done everything I should – everything I could
Everything you never thought I would do I did for you
And I think it’s understood I’ve been pretty damn good
Don’t you think I wish I didn’t feel this way, too?
Baby, it’s harder for me than you
Don’t you think I wish there was something I could do?
But nothing seems so true as this love I have for you; no, nothing seems so true as this love I have for you; ooh, ooh, ooh…

Time Of Need
03:17
|
|||
I guess on paper I’m a success
But right now I feel like a mess
If it’s sounding like I’m drowning it’s ‘cause fear is abounding
And my heart is pounding in my chest
I’m going through something I didn’t see coming
And my soul is feeling sore
But nothing says lovin’ like muffins in the oven
Honey, you got that and so much more
And all of my dreams – they go to you
And if I’m to only have but one thing to carry me through
In this time of need, honey, I just need you
In this time of need, honey, I just need you
And when you find yourself in trying times
I hope I can do for you the same
I’m a little bit lazy and maybe kind of crazy
But I swear it’s true what I feel for you won’t ever change

Eugene Song
02:14
|

You say I’m wasting away
And your patience is wearing thin
But I’ll say anyway, there’ll be more sunny days
Today I’m just staying in
I’m looking out over town
The treetops look so green
Everyone’s running ‘round as the sun’s going down
It’s another night in Eugene
I know I’m taking my time
And I got to get myself on the line
You say this has gone on far too long
It’s time for me to make up my mind
But I’m not wasting away
I don’t care if your patience is wearing thin
I’ll just say anyway, there’ll be more sunny days
Today I’m just staying

Leaving Song
04:15
|

I'm leaving again, and it seems so soon
Two months to go, and I'm only in June
And I wish I had just a little more time
I'm missing lots of things I've been trying to find
But I'm just gonna have to roll with what I've got
I gotta get going while the gettin's hot
'Cause I know I have so much more to give
I've so many reasons to live
And everyone says don’t be a fool
All you got to do is play it cool
And then you’ll be the king of whatever mountain you climb
It’s just gonna take a little time
So, come on now, tell me what you would do
If you were me talking to someone like you
Would you say you'd be nervous but you like it that way?
And it gets a little more with every day?
'Cause that's how this is going on for me
I really don't know what this could be
I'm leaving, but I'll be coming back
Listen to me now, you can count on that
And to you maybe I'll still be the same
You'll see right through anything I change

29 Diner

My doctor said, "Son, you better lay off the sauce"
I said, "That's funny, so did my boss"
Thanks for the advice, but I'm sure it isn't free
I'll be just fine, don't you guys worry 'bout me
And that's what I thought when I stepped into my car
Late last night underneath a blanket of stars
It was all I could do to stay between the lines
Trying to make my way to that Tastee 29
And when I sat down, I felt more at home
Than any other place I have ever known
And I ain't going back, I ain’t going back, no I ain't going back
I've had it up to here with all your "Holier than thou"
I said I ain't going back, I ain’t going back, no I'm never going back
You say, "Never say never" but I'm saying it now
As I look around at all the people sitting here
I think I can't live my life counting down the years
And I’ve been waiting for so damn long
When I finish here just consider me gone
And I ain't going back, I ain’t going back, no I ain't going back
I've had it up to here with all your "Holier than thou"
I said I ain't going back, I ain’t going back, no I'm never going back
You say, "Never say never" but I'm saying it now
You say, "Never say never" but I'm saying it now
You say, "Never say never" but I'm saying it now
You say, "Never say never" but I'm saying it now
My doctor said, "Son, you better lay off the sauce"

What I'm Doing Here
03:17
|
|||
Baby, put your hand in mine
And tell me everything’ll be fine
If you put your love on the line
Oh, baby, everything’ll be fine
And I may not know what I’m doing here
And I may not be thinking all that clearly now
And I may be out of my mind, my dear
But I’m here, and I have no fear

The Same Key
03:33
|
|||
And she said, baby, every song you sing to me
They in the same key – the same key
She said, baby, every single song you sing to me
They in the same key
And she said, don’t you got anything you want to say to me?
Don’t you got anything you want to say to me – to me?
She said, baby, is this all you got for me?
D to G in the same key
She said, baby, is this really all you got for me?
D to G in the same key – the same damn key
And she said, don’t you got anything you want to say to me?
Don’t you got anything you want to say to me?
Don’t you got anything you want to say to me?
To me – to me…
But I would be remiss to say anything right now
I’ve got a lot to work out before I can say what this is all about
Though I’m sure you know somehow
And she said, don’t you got anything you want to say to me?
Don’t you got anything you want to say to me?
Don’t you got anything you want to say to me?
To me – to me – oh, baby, to me…
