CARE FREE DAYS
Got up early one Friday morn’
Headed for the sun
Leavin’ the gray skies all behind
Headed down south bound 41
With a couple of friends
Lookin’ to see what we could find
All our troubles seemed so far away
Gonna have a care fee day
Burnin’ fire on the right
Marks the end of day
We have long been on our way
Got around New Orleans town
Copped a bottle of wine
Looked up Old Georgia in the park
Passed the wine along with time
Way ‘till after dark
Singin’, laughin’, talkin’ from the heart
All our troubles seemed so far away
Gonna have a care free day
Life on Bourbon Street
It’s such a treat
It really doesn’t matter what time of day
Headed on east down along the Gulf
Gonna see the Florida Keys
Picked a few oranges for along the way
Spent the night in a Holiday Inn – parking lot of course
When it’s free who needs to pay
All our troubles seemed so far away
Gonna have a care free day
Pitched a big white tent
In the sand with ease
Living high on the summer breeze
Back up north along the coast
New York City here we come
Got to kiss Miss Liberty
For standing guard over this land of ours
For you and me
So we may travel it o’ so free
All our troubles seemed so far away
Yes, I had my Care Free Days

For My Honey

FOR MY HONEY
Sharin’ the time
Along with a bottle of wine
With my honey
On a sunny afternoon
Ticklin’ off her shoe
On a blanket for two
With my honey
On a sunny afternoon
Life is just a merry-go-round
With it’s up and it’s down
Life is surely bound
To be more up than down when she’s around
I’m feeling fine
She’s lookin’ for another bottle of wine
That’s my honey
On a sunny afternoon
Life is just a merry-go-round
With it’s up and it’s down
Life is surely bound
To be more up than down when she’s around
Tryin’ to fly a kite
Runnin’ with all my might ‘cuz there’s no wind
For My Honey
On a sunny afternoon
She thinks I’m funny
On a sunny afternoon
For My Honey
She’s my sunny afternoon

Just Keep Trying

JUST KEEP TRYING
Today is fine I’ll slip outside my window
Catch a little sun
The air is warm it feels good all around me
All my work is done
But in the West a storm is a brewing
I think it’s going to rain
Who is there to blame – it’s pouring
I look around I see things going past me
I think I’m on the move
I feel good ‘cuz I know I’m going my way
And so far it’s smooth
But then one day a change could make a big wave
That would rock my boat
I wonder if I’d float – I can’t swim
Can’t complain
It would be worse not trying
Life’s a game
Don’t be a quitter – just be a winner again
When times are good and few things could be finer
Enjoy them while you can
Set a goal and get what you are after
And learn to understand
That maybe when you least expect it
Something may go wrong
But soon it will be gone
Stop crying - Just Keep Trying
And you’ll be back on top where you belong

River Please Carry Me

RIVER PLEASE CARRY ME
I went on a journey in a dream
I was floating on a raft down a stream
Down a stream – in a dream
No place to go and no place to be
Just drifting down the river very casually
Casually – to the sea
River Please Carry Me
To the place I long to be
Oh river won’t you please carry me
That’s all I ask of thee
Gaze to the left and then to the right
It’s a forever changing beautiful sight
Beautiful sight – day or night
Lie on my back and look to the sky
The sky is blue and I wonder why
I’ll wonder why - ‘till I die
Oh River Please Carry Me
To the place I long to be
Oh river won’t you please carry me
That’s all I ask of thee
Your water is cool and crystal clear
Your surface reflects like a shimmering mirror
Your shimmering mirror – reflects my tears
You deliver me and you ask no fees
Your gracious drift has no boundaries
No boundaries – how I envy thee
Oh river won’t you please carry me
To the place I long to be
Oh river won’t you please carry me
I just want to be free

Darkside

DARKSIDE
Sun does not shine at night
Moon is not always bright
Equal is half your life
Amid dark and light
Like the blind man
You must use all your senses
To do what you can
Shed light in the sunken hole
Which is the Darkside of your soul
It’s not so black or white
Shadows require some light
Where does your profile go
When you’re in the shade?
It’s always there
Fusing with further darkness
Waiting to share
They’re an un-linkable pair
You and your Darkside of your soul

LET IT RING
There are days to come
When I won’t be the same
I’ll be free to run
And even change my name
You don’t have to change
And this you must believe
It may all sound strange
But it’s the way it’s got to be
For if you went my way
Then it would not be at all
‘Cuz really you would stay
And everything built would fall
You see you and only do it so far
And this is true you know
Before beauty turns into an ugly scare
And the real you would show
Now it’s time to leave
And time will only tell
When the great game of deceive
Will ring out like a bell
Then you won’t be there
And you’ll look for something new
For the change to be totally fair
It’s better me than you

SUMMER IN THE CITY
Summer In The City
With it’s long hot days
Isn’t it a pity
Didn’t get a chance to get away
I can hear you calling
Some may find it witty
That I’m left here all alone
Summer In The City
Just can’t compete with my sweet home
I can hear you calling
I miss your touch and sunlit hair
I can hear you calling
I miss your touch and sunlit hair
I’ll always hear you calling

SEASONS
From summer’s breeze
To winter’s freeze
That’s how long I knew that man
Springtime came
And brought him rain
Summer flourished in pain
Seasons come and seasons go
And the changes that they bring
Enable us to grow
Without the sun we cannot see
But with the light from love
We can be set free
Longhaired girl
Left in her own world
Of confusion, doubt and pain
Nowhere to turn
Her heart still yearns
For the man who forgot her name
Seasons come and seasons go
And the changes that they bring
Enable us to grow
Without his sun we cannot see
But with the light from love …
Seasons come and seasons go
And the changes that they bring
Enable us to grow
Without the light we cannot see
And with our sight from love
We will be set free
We will be set free

HORICON
While driving all night long
Towards home, my home sweet home
October moon beams
Pulling all the way
Gliding past trees and fields
While time slips away
Deep in thought
I feel I’m no longer driving
But far, so far away
And there it was a sight to behold
As dawn swept the moon away
Up on the horizon
Geese – too many to say
Scrubbing the farmer’s field
They’ll stay for awhile
Renewing
And feeding their weary wings
Before they carry on
Fly away
On one of life’s long journeys
Fly from here to sunshine
Carry on
To one of life’s long journeys
Fly
Now I’m the one who comes back
Year, after year, after year
To join my friends in
This field who’s grown so dear
We rest our weary bones
And stay for awhile
Renew ourselves
For all of life’s many missions
Before we carry on
Fly away
On one of life’s long journeys
Fly from here to sunshine
Carry on
To one of life’s long journeys
Fly
Fly
Oh fly from here
Fly
Carry on from here

GERONIMO
I am a killer
I’m a medicine man
I have the power
I’m a magical man
I am a healer
I’m a warrior man
I am a fighter
I’m a menacing man
I’m Chiricahua
Of the Apache band
My name is Geronimo
You took my wife
You took my families land
I need revenge
I am a merciless man
I cut my hair
I am a spiritual man
I move like wind
I am an invisible man
I won’t surrender
You’ll have to catch me if you can
My name is Geronimo - I’m free
I’m free
To wonder our land
I’m free
With my family
The blowing wind in my hair
Abundance of food to share
The water, the blue stones, the scent in the air
I’m free
To remember our fathers
Whose voices still sing to us
The stories of truth and trust
That honored our people for 1000 years
You brought your guns
You brought your many white eyes
You starved my people
And you only talked lies
You took my body
Never captured my soul
You think I’m caged
Cuz’ you don’t fear me no more
You see me as
The Old Man In The Corner
But I am Geronimo
And I won’t be caged – I’m free
To wonder our land
I’m free
With my family
The blowing wind in my hair
Abundance of food to share
The water, the blue stones, the scent in the air
I’m free
To remember our fathers
Whose voices still sing to us
The stories of truth and trust
That honored our people for 1000 years
I’m free
To wonder our land
I’m free
With my family
The blowing wind in my hair
Abundance of food to share
The water, the blue stones, the scent in the air
I’m free
To remember our fathers
Whose voices still sing to us
The stories of truth and trust
That honored our people for 1000 years
I am Geronimo
I am Geronimo
I am Geronimo
I am Geronimo
