1. _ Blues Music
Me and my band
All must agree we like to get groovy
With the sounds of the old time
We like to jam cause man
Sounds from the Bandstand
Hand for the cause man
Hang from the old ones
The tones the gear the props and the ride very much in
Chilling outside
Going way back
From where music really started
I'm a child of the eighties
From where I departed since then I started
A collection of the people
Who started it all
I reckon
I kept them
In my sock like money
Blues music
It's all about rocking the van not rock to roll
Sway to sway
Shocks work out I play
What that fly girl Sabine say
About eight miles to the gallon that's some
Highway sailing
Cool cool lounging
Atlantic City bounding
1920's to the 1970's a stream
Pool solid steady
Getting ready real cool
The earth amp sock hat hi-hat dope
Dobro D'Addario strings for my things
The bass wail sings
Let the rhyme bring
The tense of the time
The old time
Blues music
Blind Lemon Jefferson and juice
B.M.W's the proof frosty Albert Collins bukkha white
Booker T James Brown
Jimmy smith at the console
The soul with the girls Aretha
Chakka Khan the show Solid Gold
Cisco and Sonny Lead Belly too
Peoples that rode with Woody and you Bob Dylan
A million Sears Silvertone guitars
Heard the licks no need to take them nowhere
Blues music
It's like chewing gum with your headphones on
Drinking lemonade
Chilling on the front porch after running ball
Like you lost a twenty dollar bill
You got a free ticket from the scratch and win
Its like the swimsuit issue
Could I get a tissue?
It's like you and your baby got nasty cut off and left alone now making eyes
On the city bus again grandma cooks blueberry pie
Little sister got a boyfriend
It's like smoking the ride
The final right
The vinyl rides
Blues music

2. _ I Love You
I guess I'm lucky
It's in my blood I've got you and us two
That's what I'm thinking of
So you're moving into my place
That's a 24 hour taste
That's no can that's a case
This feeling I sure can't sense
I know it sounds old
But I love you I love you
I love you
So we seem a little young we have fun
We're friends we've lovers
Who cares about those others
Already got fathers and mothers
Two can be a crew got plenty to do something to see
Look in my eyes baby
Believe me
I know it sounds old
But I love you I love you
I love you
Your pops don't like me
Your moms sure does
She's seen the looks I give you
Seen them enough
To know this ain't no phase
Or some part time craze
It's a love affair that lasts during the week days
I believe in lucky and money
I've got ten bucks and a honey
I know I'm lucky
Just look at you and me
Move on in move on in
That ain't no sin
It ain't gonna be a sin
When we turn the lights to dim
I know it sounds old
But I love you I love you
I love you

3. _ Coming Home
In the fall leaves turn brown
Nature sings its song takes its course
Now I know I'll be traveling on
Winters coming the air is getting cold
Birds are flying down the highway in the sky
This place is changing so am i
I've got to leave it all behind
Then someday I'll be back to claim whats mine
And don't worry
Someday I'll be coming home
Yes and don't worry now
Someday Ill be coming home
I don't know where I want to go but there's
One thing I know I've got to be on my own
So watch me as I go ramblin' on down the road
Singing songs of tales untold
Mystery men and the days of old
I'm going where my dreams can be
Where life is not reality
Where visions clad in colors true
Can take me where I'm going to and don't worry
Someday I'll be coming home
Yes and don't worry now
Someday I'll be coming home
I don't know what I'm looking for
I'm looking for an open door
To take me where I can live my life
The way I want to
I'll do things my way
Right or wrong
Play and sing all day long
Have my land, treat it well
And be kind to my fellow man
You may say that this ain't right
That's how I'll go about my life
I'll be light as a feather floating here and there
I don't know
Someday I'll be coming home
Yes and don't worry now
Someday I'll be coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Don't worry now

7. _ Town To Town
I may had forgot that
But it seems I'm here to stay new
Town to town
Room to room
Room to move
Time to lose in my room
Or call to telephone my baby's house
She ain't never home
Ain't there ain't nowhere
She lets it ring
I keep thinking to home
Sick
Of thinking for home
I keep talking
Just for talking
Tired
Of talking it's the
Moon
Walking even he gets some ....

Like chicken lo mein

The main man
Wild west
Smooth as swiss
Gimme a kiss 'cause I like it

A hit from the bat

Above reality ? ? ?
Sometimes I gotta settle down
With a comic book
And a soda pop
And a soda pop
Lemon soda pop
Hey thanks a lot

10. _ The Things That I Used To Do
Things that I used to do
Never do them no more baby
Things that I used to do
I ain't never gonna do them no more
Used to bother you around
Tears in my eye, low to the ground
Try and get slower, we been nowhere
You would leave me
Like twinkle soul
Is where to go
Baby you and me
Get with the roll
Here's a love song yeah
And I'm gonna sing it to you so slow
In your eardrum getting ready
All night long I rock steady
Always glowing like rudolphs nose at
Christmas time
Sure to glowin
Shining, undermining,
In your veins all in your mind
Upside you brain
Knock down deliver like hot tamales

Things that I used to do
I ain't never gonna um do them no

Used to bother you around
Tears in my eye, sinkin' low to the ground
Lower than the ocean, swimmin' in the
Sea

Baby shinin' all night long
Just to get some
The things the house man used to do
Never ever gonna do them no more
Yeah the thing that the marshmallow
Man- jimmy -jazz Prescott on the bass
Used to do
Never ever gonna do them no more
The things that I used to do
Never never never never gonna do them no, more

11. _ Chains #3
Ain't no chains going to hold my body down
Ain't no chains gonna hold my body down
Ain't no chains gonna hold my body down
as I swim along from the sea to the sea
Ain't no waves gonna pull my body down
Ain't no waves gonna pull my body down
There, ain't no waves gonna pull my body down
as I swim along from the sea to the sea
Ain't no time gonna drown me from my cold
Ain't no time gonna drown me from my cold

There ain't chains gonna hold my body down
Ain't no chains gonna hold me down

I'll swim with you
You'll swim with me
We shall be...
Ain't no shame in my game no no
There ain't no shame in my game
There ain't no shame that's included in my game
as I swim along from the sea to the sea

12. _ Some Peoples Like That
So many different
Flavors for variety
Smooth in the mixing
Fixing a hole for myself
To be sitting
Never slipping
Cause I'm like that
It's not my choice
It's my voice so despite that
I'm living in my own time
For my sign
My signal
Won't mingle
I could still dig other keys
On the ring
All together now
Some people
Never satisfied
Can't be I've seen it
Got what they want
But still want more
I mean it
Some people
Don't get nothing
And they want even less
Some confess and some stress
What's going on
Some people is like that
Dig the eyes
Where it all goes down
The eyes because a glance caught skittish
That means we missed this
Chance to dig each other
Another bounce and then another
Another
Some people get scared
From situation that presents a tension
Then they wonder about events
Not mentioned
Some people like to look just like each other
Some can't never be clever
And some people think they're better
Some people got attitude
Backed up with attitude
People got to prove
That they could groove
To be smooth
Rude shit is dumb
Some people
Quite chill laid
Some people make noise
Some sit spart stick
With my boys
Shut up man just listen to the music
I used it I'm like that
Some people is like that

13. _ Everybody
Everybody needs a true, true friend
To help them through the day
Everybody needs a true, true friend
To help them through the day
If you need me
I'll be there
If you need me
You'll know where
Everybody needs a safe dark song ?
Even if it takes the whole night long
Everybody needs a safe dark song ?
Even if it takes the whole night long
If you need me
I'll be there
If you need me
I'll be there
Well, I'll be there
To help you along
If they lay me down tonight
I tried to lead a gracious life
If they lay me down tonight
Don't you know I tried to live all right ?
If you need me
Then I'll be there
If you need me
You'll know where
I'll be there, baby
You're my friend
I'll be there
Oh, but I love you
Oh, my friend
Oh, my friend

14. _ Stepping Stones
Baby you've been up, broken down
Every man knows your name in this whole damn town
In every bar they know your drink, what should I think
I turned around to look and you gave some dude a wink
I thought I'd be happy with a woman like you,
But you walked on my pride and my manhood too
I don't know too much but one thing I know
A man stuck on you is like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
What you forgot to mention, what was your real intention
Did you want a man to love, or someone to prop and carry you up
To a higher status, but the matter of fact is, your detachment
Will bring you further down and now you're all used up
Don't bother coming round
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Well, I remember back to what you put me through
I keep thinking to myself
What's wrong with you
Ain't it enough to have a man for a lover and a friend
Tear him up and leave him when the money's spent
Well, you're just like Delilah sittin' in her den
You take the strongest man and break 'em down again
But I have gained some knowledge
Go on pack your things and move back to college
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone

17. _ Shooting Hoops
When the school lets out and the shifts are done
Get the boys together get a ball get a run
Lace up the sneaks kick off them shoes
I'll admit I play to win yo cause I don't like to lose
At Seger Park they've got the competition
Good moves baby -- I'm the definition
They shooting hoops
Yeah Yeah Yeah
They playing basketball
I learned at Old Pine, see I'm the school yard hustler
I had my hardknocks now I'm an off the backboard buster
I could fake to the left penetrate like Mike
Or 360 in the air as Dominique might
I could pass like Magic
I could shoot like the Bird, after a Doctor J dunk
The courtside drunk said good lord
They shooting hoops
Yeah Yeah Yeah
They playing basketball
Lunch from a hot dog stand a pretzel and a pop
We've been playing all day cuase we've had this court nonstop
The city sun is hot -- all the courts they steaming
Bright eyed young ball handlers are believing and dreaming
Hoping some day all this playing will be paying
That's what all the sideline junkies smoking reefer keep saying
They shooting hoops
Yeah Yeah Yeah
They playing basketball

18. _ Walk To Slide
Spring has sprung cause all it does is rain
Again outisde is dull walls as dull drive
The sea has called fog from the waters
City screams for suns and daughters
Owned by the nights
But they ain't all of that
Tainted cats freaks to roll
Cool in the packs
I'm in the basement mixing
Tripping off my lips and
Elixing my mind with the nightlife
Spring comes misting
Drunk and listening to AM radio
Remembering pump up the volume cause
I know I got it
The soul of speakers thought
I shed skins of old
When I'm taught by the older
Records that I caught I get fat
In my pad I'm not bad
Not smiling passing for time to take a while
Wasting from the wild as I walk to slide
I bring from inside from the center
Epicenter radius oval roll you smooth you
Mold you, I'm like that
Moon to sun to start this seed
Water drip drop drip drop
Your boggie ball your rubber ball
The smooth of a weathered wall
The cycles of the systems
The circles within them
I walk to slide
Walk the slide on the outside
Walk the mile on the in
Keep it clouds on the outside
Keep it cool on the in
Lost in the spin
The face folds to melt the mask
It's hard to get help when
You're coming from the down low
Growing to know the smooth
In change
I walk to slide
From the tombs I got tunes
Like the spoonful
House to groove French to groove
The falling sun
We've had our fun
The sunset came to still
Stays the same

20. _ Kiss and Tell
Don't kiss and don't tell
You gonna get yourself in trouble
Your true love will leave you
You did wrong that's why she said so long
Boy'd you find another girlfriend
It seemed to be last night
I mean the sweetest little songbird
A sweet sugar momma that's alright
You shoulda been satisfied
With that look in her eye
Oh don't you miss her voice
I miss her and her mind
So don't kiss and don't tell

My cold cold heart will surely melt
But then I threw it all away
Why the messin' round and a tellin'

Well, your true love will leave you
You did wrong that's why she said so long
Oh all these fine women
They know whats going on
Man you thought that you was all alone
But she could tell by the moon
That she won't go by soon
No no no no
