When time was my friend, I'd lollygag and laze
It was all in front of me I had so many days
When time never entered the passing mind
And I thought I had all the time
...

Tomorrow's Thanksgiving
I'm thankful a lot
I think of my family
And I'm glad what I've got
...

If I was white, i'd be rich
get a shovel, make a ditch
fill it up with water
workin like I oughta
...

The greatest place in all the earth
Cannot begin to estimate worth

The land of sweet liberty
...

Had four brothers
now I got two
hate the pain
thank god I got you
...

I was a boy I did not understand
that things get crazy and out of hand
I was a boy and could not see
That one day you would not be
...

So he thought he was done
Love like that hidden in the sun
But when it came it surprised
And then tears filled his eyes
...

If I make a mistake and fall on my face
Will you be there, to help me retrace
Where I went wrong and need to realign
Will you post a directions sign
...

Here's another
thinking of my brothers
Miss you Paul and John
damn how time has gone
...

Well I thought that I was done
but words I got and words is fun
I been crazy with my thoughts of late
and I'm mixed up, but it ain't hate
...

Loud and proud he rambled in
To the house in Washington
Fix this, break that its what I do
Predecessors effort he did eschew
...

Depression is as depression takes
No new found word will it awake
Opt in words that we had spake
In this my judgement you cannot make
...

Well thats how much I love you
I love you with all I got to give
I want to have you in my heart, as long as I am here
I hope you understand me, you know that I'm a foolish man
...

There's gotta be a better way
Than how we carry on today
There's gotts be a another place
Where thoughts I have, I don't dont erase
...

...

I stared out of the window, my reflection hardly there
I could not find my feature, but still continued to stare
I reached and closed the curtain, and sat upon the floor
I closed my eyes about to sleep, and woke to the opening door
...

Where are you
And when you get there what you gonna do
What you gonna say
No matter whos in the way
...

I read some words that she had wrote
They touched my heart I read again a gulping in my throat
Could words some girl expressed, steer me to wonder how
I wondered what it could be and where she is right now
...

You do not know me
As I don't know myself
You think I am more than a shadow
but I don't have a shadows stealth
...

Words, easily spoken
Promises, easily broken
Time, easily spent
Wondering, where it all went
...
