I can tell from that face and frown Troubles have got you down You’re feeling sad, drained to the bone You know buddy you’re not alone I say there’s a simple remedy And it’s not hard to see Call me Al, call me Betty, Doctor Smile Give me a second now here’s the secret style Toss tears in the trash and walk downtown With a smile on your side Smart hat, sharp shirt, new shoes I tell you folks say good-bye to the blues Look people, this world is full of doubt Hurt and pain, plain worn out Second best lesson, play your Ace First lesson put a smile on your face Got a story of heartbreak, you don’t say Things ain’t going your way I’d be lying if I said I’m never blue I’m here trying to teach you something new So maybe I spoke too fast I’m gonna tell you again And again until you get my drift I swear buddy, this ain’t no grift. Toss tears in the trash and walk downtown With a smile on your side Smart hat, sharp shirt, new shoes I tell you people say good-bye to the blues Toss tears in the trash and walk downtown With a smile on your side. Smart hat, sharp shirt, new shoes Just say adios to them blues

Oh, I know we’ve seen the movie Guys in the street with hats of black and white Now for us it’s not so simple Still I guess we’re gonna have a fight Oh, there are some things I’d take back There are some things I wish you did not do We are armed with accusations Some things old and some things are new And we are gunfighters We stare and know this is the calm before the burst We’re all set up for a showdown Just who is going to draw first Oh close up on you cut to me Soundtrack gets loud the guitars start to play Seconds are minutes which feel like hours Only one of us will walk away Oh you know I heard you the first time There are more shots coming my way too fast I slump down I feel so tired I just don’t think that I can last And we are gunfighters We stare and know this is the calm before the burst We’re all set up for a showdown Just who is going to draw first We are gunfighters We stare and know this is the calm before the burst We’re all set up for a showdown Just who is going to draw first

Well, I know what you said about me last night I know what you said right after the fight But I’m not holding on to your love any more I’m turning right around and showing you the door I know what you did in the dark part of the night. I know what you can never be right. So I’m not holding on to your love any more. I’m turning right around and showing you the door. You left me last night, so you could go and play. You left me last night, well now baby, you can stay away, stay away. Well I know what you said in your so sorry way I know what you said as you begged to stay But I’m not holding on to your love any more I’m turning right around and showing you the door And there it is You left me last night, so you could go and play. You left me last night, well baby, just go away. Who cares what you do when you’ve gone away Who cares what you do I’ve said what I’ll say And you’re not holding on to my love any more I’m turning right around and showing you the door I’m turning right around and showing you the door I’m turning right around and showing you Um Um showing you the door ooh showing you the door Um Um showing you the door aww showing you the door Showing you the door oh showing you the door Showing you the door yeah showing you the door Showing you the door um, I’m showing you the door Showing you the door, oh showing you the door It’s right over there, just two steps

On a Lost Highway 03:19

I was on the lost highway scorching winds blew hard Had to scream to King Lear get my calling card But then Meddling kids unmasked me, all cry yay I am one more solved case here on the lost highway I was on the lost highway the desert was brown I am ten miles outside an almost ghostly town I will do their jobs and leave ‘fore they steal my pay We know abuse is on the house on the lost highway I was on the lost highway there’s a grapefruit moon. So I had to quit my smoking it was too soon. And now Elvis forgets the lyrics when he sings My Way So I crank up Hank, Sr., singing lost highway Let’s get lost I was on the lost highway and the windshield broke There is dust all around I start to cough and choke So I drained a stale daiquiri and toasted Friday It wasn’t, but who would care on a lost highway I was on the lost Highway the sands were bright red And I stopped to count the folks who thought us dead Well now Clowns and CPAs want to be in my play We got parts for all who are here on the lost highway I was on the lost Highway and you were there too I could see in your eyes you didn’t know what to do Were we banished was it chance as some might say To trudge in pre-judgement on a lost Highway

Out to Pirate Sean’s Cove I sailed and the anchor was dropped All seemed perfect all time had stopped I vibed on the waves rise and fall I resisted the soft breezes’ call I am empty without you here Sunshine darkness without you dear And I sailed without you, sailed on down, down to Pirate Sean’s Cove I sailed just like the men before Who would plunder and raid the shore Only loyal getting their share Stealing, cheating without a care The way I was sailing love’s seas You said no more let me go please And I sail without you, sail on down, down to Pirate Sean’s Cove Out to Pirate Sean’s Cove I sailed and the anchor was dropped I was frozen all time had stopped Got sick from the waves rise and fall Accusing birds they scream and call This love pirate just would not hear You were all done not one more tear And I sail without you, and hide, hide in Pirate Sean’s Cove

Avoiding triggers, I was 10 for 10, but now, I’m dragged down again Once more in distress, I’m sadder than blue, I better try what I used to do. I said hello my old friend, hello there senseless carbs You’ll be with me to the end, best of best friends senseless carbs When winds of love used to blow me around, Ben and Jerry never let me down If romantic life went to deep freeze, I thawed out with good ol’ Mac and cheese. I said hello my old friend, hello there senseless carbs You’ll be with me to the end, best of best friends senseless carbs Left my baby in IC Unit Five. The virus took her. She’s not alive And now I’m the one can’t breathe, feeling pale. It’s a big ask, calories don’t fail I say hello my old friend, hello there senseless carbs (hello, hello) You’ll be with me to the end, best of best friends senseless carbs (hello, hello) I say hello my old friend, hello there senseless carbs (hello, hello) You’ll be with me to the end, best of best friends senseless carbs (hello, hello) Might be too much, too much to ask I’m so sad, senseless carbs

I remember wanting this woman so bad She chose another, I lost the joy I had Crying yesterday, today, and tomorrow I gave up everything, except my sorrow So close your eyes and see what goes away Measure all the nothing that came to stay What’s gone on the wind, sacrificed in fire We must pay pay for our desire I remember the day when someone said yes My longtime dreams became real happiness But finally she and I came to a good-bye I was still alone with her, I’ll never know why So close your eyes and see what goes away Measure all the nothing that came to stay What’s gone on the wind, sacrificed in fire We must pay pay for our desire Show me someone content with who they be Might be you, sure as hell it ain’t me We close our eyes and see what’s gone away. Measure all the nothing that came to stay What’s gone on the wind, sacrificed in fire We must pay (must pay) We close (we close) our eyes (our eyes) and see what’s gone away (See what’s gone away) Measure all the nothing that came to stay What’s gone (what’s gone) on the wind (on the wind), sacrificed in fire We must pay (we must pay) pay for our desire (pay for our desire) We must pay pay for our desire (pay for our desire) We must pay pay (pay for our desire) Pay for our desire

about

Music in a time of virus.

These were the single releases in the first nine months of 2021 and most of these will be found on our next album.

It's subtle, but there's a fair amount of experimentation with arrangement and structure in this collection. Most of these new songs started with drum pattern, music build-out, and free association of lyrics.

And, even though it still shows as a pre-set, we're spending more time out of Americana than in, so we are just calling it pop.

Had fun making these songs, think we did some nice work, and hope you agree.

Thank you.
