Patina

She used to walk along the water dip her right foot down low
She used to feel how the current flow
Its a wave its up and it goes down undertow
Oh its a feeling that she knows
It comes and it goes
Just like a dime you’re on a roll
I like things
With dents and dings
And guitar strings
That sway and swing
I’ll kick my shoes off
And cuss if I lose
Ohhhh I…
I ain’t broken I’m patina
Theres only so many circles you can swing around the sun
And I seem to be towing the load for fun
Oh so hitch me up forget the brake lights fire the gun
I’m racing forward like I’m on the run
It comes and it goes
Just like a dime you're on a roll
I like things
With dents and dings
guitar strings
That sway and swing
I’ll kick my shoes off
And cuss if I lose
Ohhhh I…
I ain’t broken I’m patina
I like things
With dents and dings
guitar strings
That sway and swing
I’ll kick my shoes off
And cuss if I lose
Ohhhh I…
I ain’t broken I’m patina

Price Of Foolin'

Well you like the swinging doors
Just like you like to swing around
Because it all looks the same
The coming in, the walking out
If you’re looking then you’re finding
And you’re found you run away
Because you want something profound
But you ain’t up for the wait
But saving face gets tiring and words are backfiring
And you’ve ran out of things you can say
And games are transpiring you crossed up the wiring
And that smoke screen is starting to fade
And people say that theres a price that you pay if you keep on fooling around
One board will fix the leak
And one nail will fix the lean
And one night on the town
makes you queen of the scene
and you climbed to the peak
but you missed all the trees
if you flirt with the edge
you will fall to your knees
And shots are misfiring and crowds are conspiring
And you still think your cuts they don’t bleed
Deals are expiring and nobodys hiring
And you still think that nobody sees
And people say that theres a price that you pay if you keep on fooling around
Set the place on fire
Throw the match to your feet
Sit there and admire
The rubble that you leave
And People say that theres a price that you pay if you keep on fooling around
Keep on fooling around
Keep on fooling around
Keep on fooling around

Take It Easy, Brother

They say don’t you go judge a book by its cover
People might surprise you won't you take it easy brother
But there ain’t no surprise in the shady situations
You keep talking sly while you’re feeling desperation
They say give some slack trust a for a while
Don’t you know you give an inch they're gonna take a mile
Fool me once they tell me that the blame is on you
But I feel it in my gut so it is on me too
Another hand stretched out before me
Doesn’t repetition get rather boring?
I can let go but trusts another story
Too many words and the scene is getting gory
If this ain’t true then flag me as a false
Don’t you tell me the game show me how you walk
It ain’t that I want to lose you
But no one in their right mind would ever choose you
I ain’t trying to ride an anchor as its dragging bottom
I ain’t trying to trade for riches if you haven’t got them
I ain’t trying to throw you a rope
If you think dragging me down is just one big joke
I ain’t trying to dirty my hands with intentions that are rotten

When I Go Back Out

When I go back out
Into the city
Don’t leave me breadcrumbs
I’ll take them all with me
Don’t leave me roses
Cause they’ll be too pretty
When I go back out into the city
When I go back out
If it goes poorly
I want you to know that
I miss you sorely
Theres no intention
Theres just the story
And if it suits you, you tell it for me
I’ve got a black coat
It hangs in my closet
Its got cigarette stains
And holes in the pockets
It hasn’t come out
Since I threw the white flag
But my hanger hangs empty tonight
When I go back out
The back roads of Cleveland
Drive a few blocks
As I’m thinking about leaving
End up out front
With a smile and a reason
Under the spell of what I’ve been believing
When I go back out
Its not about losing
I have not chosen
The path I am using
There ain’t no end
If I just keep moving
And I’ve had no say over what I’ve been doing
I’ve got a black coat
It hangs in my closet
Its got cigarette stains
And holes in the pockets
It hasn’t come out
Since I threw the white flag
But my hanger hangs empty tonight
And I won’t be empty tonight
