Blue Wire
Ticking clock, never stops
No time to waste, but nowhere to be now
It's just me now
Lie awake, night turns to day
the rising sun no friend to me now
It's just me now
She's not answering my call
Maybe she's not there at all
Or maybe she knows what I'm thinking
Ticking clock, never stops
I'm like a bomb waiting to go off
When will I go off
Ticking clock, can't be stopped
Do I cut the red wire or the blue wire
It's always the blue wire
She's not answering my call
Maybe she's not there at all
Or maybe she knows what I'm thinking
She's not answering my call
Maybe she's not there at all
Or maybe she knows what I'm thinking
Ticking clock, never stops
No time to waste, but nowhere to be now
It's just me now

Radio
I want to go back where we used to be
Where I loved you and you loved me
And nothing came between us - Damn these heavy things
Our once upon a time has lost the shimmer and the shine
Out of sight and out of mind - What have we left behind
Time stands still when we listen to the radio
The world rolls on by, well maybe we should let it go
Then I hear your favorite song playing on the radio
C'mon let's dance real slow - Let me rock your gypsy soul
If I was a blind man, your love would see me through
If I was a wise man, my love would always be true
If I was a rich man, I'd buy you everything money can buy
But I am a poor man, and we're just getting by
I don't know why you're still here, these days fade into years
Everything between us hang so heavy in the air
If we could get away from here, I would take you there, my dear
Above the clouds, the sky is clear and the real world disappears
Time stands still when we listen to the radio
The world rolls on by, well maybe we should let it go
Then I hear your favorite song playing on the radio
C'mon let's dance real slow - Let me rock your gypsy soul
If I was a blind man, your love would see me through
If I was a wise man, my love would always be true
If I was a rich man, I'd buy you everything money can buy
But I am a poor man, and we're just getting by
Time stands still when we listen to the radio
The world rolls on by, well maybe we should let it go
Then I hear your favorite song playing on the radio
C'mon let's dance real slow - Let me rock your gypsy soul
I want to go back where we used to be
Where I loved you and you loved me
And nothing came between us - Damn these heavy things

Carolina Sing-Along
Pack up the car and let's go to Charlotte
Big city waiting right there for us
Everybody sing a Carolina song
Jump in the car now, everybody come along
Here is the church and here is the steeple
Open the door and look at the people
People singing Sunday morning songs
Forget your troubles, come in and sing along
Down to the river, under the water
Get born again with the sons and daughters
Everybody sings a brand new song
The water's fine, jump in and sing along
Up on the mountain, down in the valley
Looking for a good time, headed into Asheville
Where everybody sings a different song
But up in Asheville, everybody sings along
Pack up the car and let's go to Raleigh
Howl at the moon til early in the morning
Nothing could be finer than a Carolina song
Nothing could be finer, everybody sing along
Let's all go where nothing could be finer
Let's all go to North Carolina
Nothing could be finer than a Carolina song
Nothing could be finer, everybody sing along

Ohio Dream
I dreamed I was a fisherman
I drove all day and fished on land
My boat was a Volkswagen van
I'm not much of a fisherman
I think I was a preacher man
Though I never spoke to child nor man
People came just to touch my hands
They spoke in tongues, I didn’t understand
I didn’t understand
They said I was in Ohio
How I got there I don't know
There must have been three feet of snow
God, I hate Ohio
Ohio, Ohio
When I woke up the work was done
Fish were caught and the souls were won
I said goodbye and it’s been fun
and headed south to a warmer sun, a warmer sun
Said goodbye to Ohio, Ohio, Ohio

Cold Blood

Cold Blood
She shot me down in cold blood
It's just one of those deals
and I have come to the point of understanding, how she feels
She said - Don't turn away from me, Don't walk away from
Don't change the subject on me
Proclaim your innocence to God and Government
Like some captured nobility
You can beg and you can plead, It don't mean nothing to me
She shot me down in cold blood
It's just one of those deals
and I have come to the point of understanding how she feels
She said - Look me in the eyes, You might not recognize
The face you've known for all these years
The things you've done to me, I'm not who I used to be
and It's been a long time coming, dear
So goodnight and good-bye, You don't mean nothing to me
In a different life, she's still a blushing bride
on a perfect June wedding day
She looks at her blood-stained hands, still tries to understand
She falls to her knees and prays, Hallelujah, Amen
He can't do nothing to me
She shot me down in cold blood
It's just one of those deals
and I have come to the point of understanding, how she feels
I have come to the point of understanding, how she feels

Ghosts of the Grand Strand
I have dreamed of California
Just like every other man
Thanks God there’s always someone there to warn you
Best stay away from those best laid plans
On the road this time each summer
With my daughter of the confederacy
We’ll watch those fireworks of freedom
From our condo balcony
Take our pictures by the ocean
Of our toes here in the sand
Just another lost vacation
With the ghosts of the Grand Strand
I am a son of North Carolina
A place to be, rather than to seem
In shutdown mills and fields of farmers
Walks every ghost here before me
On the road this time each summer
With my daughter of the confederacy
We’ll watch those fireworks of freedom
From our condo balcony
Take our pictures by the ocean
Of our toes here in the sand
Just another lost vacation
With the ghosts of the Grand Strand
Same old song - day after day - wave after wave
The melody always drifts away
On the road this time each summer
With my daughter of the confederacy
We’ll watch those fireworks of freedom
From our condo balcony
We'll drink a cold beer by the ocean
Do a little shagging to the Tams
Just another lost vacation
With the ghosts of the Grand Strand

Shake
She's moving up, ain’t going down
She's going out, she's gonna paint the town
She’s gonna ride, she's gonna cruise
She's gonna break a heart or two
She’s gonna shake
She's going to shake off the troubles of this old world
Kick off her shoes and hit the floor
She's got Mississippi blues and Motown soul
She's gonna rock she's gonna roll
She’s gonna shake
She’s gonna fly, she’s gonna float
She’s gonna circumnavigate the globe
She’s gonna dance, she’s gonna sing
She’s gonna shine like a diamond ring
She’s gonna shake
She's going to shake off the troubles of this old world
Kick off her shoes and hit the floor
She's got Carolina grass and Memphis soul
She's gonna rock she's gonna roll
She’s gonna shake
She’s gonna fly, she’s gonna float
She’s gonna circumnavigate the globe
She’s gonna dance, she’s gonna sing
She’s gonna shine like a diamond ring
She's going to shake off the troubles of this old world
Kick off her shoes and hit the floor
She's got Carolina beach and Muscle Shoals
She's gonna rock she's gonna roll
She’s gonna shake

Maria Smiles
Maria smiles and takes my hand
We're walking to the promised land today
Makes a wish on every falling star
Says we're getting closer everyday
She's as beautiful as the day we met
She says, boy you ain't seen nothing yet - just wait
Maria says we'll be there soon
Sleep through the day, walk with the moon
Like dreams - the sweetest dreams
We'll find a place and make a home
Have something we can call our own, someday
She's as beautiful as the day we met
She says, boy you ain't seen nothing yet - just wait
Maria smiles and walks away
Work to do, got bills to pay
They say it's the American way
In this land of opportunity
Girl, I got you and you got me
and every day is a better day
She's as beautiful as the day we met
She says, boy you ain't seen nothing yet - just wait

All These Crows

All These Crows
All these crows, all these crows
Outside my window, lined up in a row
Black as the night, where they come from
My own harbingers of sorrows yet to come
All alone, nobody calls my name
Every night and every day the same old thing
If you got no news, there ain’t nothing to know
Ain’t nobody here but me and all these crows
All these crows, all these crows
Outside my window, lined up in a row
Black as the night, where they come from
My own harbingers of sorrows yet to come
I am in prisoner in my own walls
All friends gone away, no one to call
Lived a long hard life, with nothing to show
Just an old house full of ghosts and all these crows
Left my dreams on a cotton mill floor
Still owe my soul to the company store
But the mill don’t run no more
I remember the good days and it dulls the pain
Sometimes I even shake off the dust and rattle my chains
But my time has passed, the sun hangs low
I pray the good lord come take me, I’m ready to go
All these crows, all these crows
Outside my window, lined up in a row
Black as the night, where they come from
My own harbingers of sorrows yet to come

Long Weekend
Sing my love song to you, Sing this love song for you
But it sounds like blues
I hang on to regret, try hard to forget
But I ain’t there yet
I got everything I need to get me through
I got everything I need, but i ain’t got you
Sing my love song to you, Sing this love song for you
But it sounds like blues
I hate being here alone, thought this house was a home
But now you’re gone
About the only thing that I got figured out
Honey, you’re the only thing I can’t live without
Sing my love song to you, Sing this love song for you
But it sounds like blues
Sing my love song to you, wrote this love song for you
Just something to do
I got everything I need to get me through
I got everything I need, but I ain’t got you
About the only thing that I got figured out
Honey, you’re the only thing I can’t live without
Sing my love song to you, Sing this love song for you
But it sounds like blues
