Best Behavior
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody’s got something on their mind
Everybody wants to get away
Everybody has something to say
So many choices to make
So many roads I can take
And I know that…
Everybody wants to settle down
Then everybody goes underground
So many wrongs to make right
So many songs I’ve got to write
And I know that…
I may not have all the answers yet
But I’ve been trying every flavor
I don’t know how much further I’ll get
But I’ve been on my best behavior
Everybody wants to find the one
Then everybody starts to come undone
Everybody wants to feel alive
But everybody struggles to survive
This is the best I could do
But is it good enough for you
I know that…
I may not have all the answers yet
But I’ve been trying every flavor
I don’t know how much further I’ll get
But I’ve been on my best behavior

River Song
The river is wide and the river is long
The river’s gonna take me to where I belong
The river’s gonna wash away all of my sins
The river will carry me home in the end
When the rain starts falling, you better get away from the river
Seek high ground
You better start looking for shelter
The river is song and the river is life
The river is wrong and the river is right
The river starts from a creek way upstream
But the river gets fast and the river gets mean
When the rain starts falling, you better get away from the river
Seek higher ground
You better start looking for shelter
The sun don’t shine if the sky doesn’t cry
You can’t blame everything on the weather
The current is strong, it’ll carry you home
But you better be a very good swimmer
If you wanna survive the river
The river will flood and the river will rise
When the dam breaks the river will not compromise
The river’s surrender, it can’t be controlled
But if the river shows mercy it can save your soul
When the rain starts falling, you better get away from the river
Seek higher ground
You better start looking for shelter
The sun don’t shine if the sky doesn’t cry
You can’t blame everything on the weather
The current is strong, it’ll carry you home
But you better be a very good swimmer
If you wanna survive the river

Let It Shine
Sometimes you make me nervous
You know that I’m the cautious kind
Is it really you or a disguise
You know I’ve got good intentions
But I’m getting closer to the borderline
I want to climb this wall you hide behind
The burden of commitment
Your self defense has been undermined
Let it go or it’ll haunt you down the line
These are the days, these are the best of times
Shake off that doubt, it’ll be alright
Don’t misunderstand because I’m always by your side
Won’t you let love in, won’t you let it shine
I’m just looking for a true companion
Conversation and a love sublime
Somebody who’ll let me see inside
The promise of connection
An open heart, not a one track mind
Walking hand in hand and side by side
These are the days, these are the best of times
Shake off that doubt, it’ll be alright
Don’t misunderstand because I’m always by your side
Won’t you let love in, won’t you let it shine

In My Town
I watch all these kids play dress up
In my town
They’re coming from near and far
They come from all around
Maybe they’ll get a shot
Grab the brass ring
God knows they’ll do
Just about anything
I watch all of these old houses
In my town, coming down
There’s a wrecking ball on South Street
Cranes in Germantown
Maybe this is it
We’re the big scene
God knows we did
Just about everything
There’s a price tag on the skyline
In my town
They’re pushing us further out
They’re bringing us down
But we’re not moving yet
We’re living the dream
God knows we’ll do
Just about anything
...In my town

The Gig
So long since we started out together
Miles and miles on the open road
Good times, bad times, we hit some nasty weather
But we’re still out here playing this song
Keep the faith, my brother
Stay true and stay strong
No regrets just get lost in it
Let the music carry you on and on
Make your mind up, someday you will have her
Take time, find rhyme, get up and go
Just put one foot in front of the other
No mistake, it’s a hard way to go
Keep the faith, my brother
Stay true and stay strong
No regrets just get lost in it
Let the music carry you on and on
Upside, downside, it’s never the right time
No shame end game, nothing to lose
Always wise to keep holding your head high
Guitar, tip jar, what’s left to prove?
Keep the faith, my brother
Stay true and stay strong
No regrets just get lost in it
Let the music carry you on and on

North
I’m going north
Route 42
Inconsolable
Irreconcilable
I’m going north
For a better view
Said all there is to say
I’ll come back another day
Falling out of love
I’m out of love
Falling out of love
I’m out of love
I’m going north
Just passing through
Gotta be on my way
These feet are made of clay
Falling out of love
I’m out of love
Falling out of love
I’m out of love
I’m going north
Route 42
Inconsolable
Irreconcilable

House of Mirrors
Grab your cup of morning paranoia
Grab a handle, better hang on tight
The truth is out there but it might destroy ya
It’s comin’ at you with a heavy price
You know that it’s a house full of mirrors
Watch out or you just might hit the wall
I see right through your reflection
Your deception will be your downfall
Strange illusion came so unexpected
This contusion left a sea of red
Just a stone’s throw from the congregation
Mass confusion and a hole in my head
You know that it’s a house full of mirrors
Watch out or you just might hit the wall
I see right through your reflection
Your deception will be your downfall
Revolution on the television
The resistance will be televised
The promise of American carnage
We ain’t going down without a fight
You know that it’s a house full of mirrors
Watch out or you just might hit the wall
I see right through your reflection
Your deception will be your downfall

Luckiest Guy
Under September skies
I can see stars
In your eyes
Now it’s time to begin
Just take my hand
We’ll take a ride
Grab your coat and hang on tight
It’s gonna get cold
Who knows where we’ll end up
But that’s alright
You’re the finest woman that I’ve ever know
And I am the luckiest guy
Let’s stop and check out the view
It’s been a while
Since I’ve seen you
An unexpected surprise
You’re my piece of mind
Long overdue
Grab your coat and hang on tight
It’s gonna get cold
Who knows where we’ll end up
But that’s alright
You’re the finest woman that I’ve ever know
And I am the luckiest guy
It’s not complicated
If you take it in stride
It’s just what you make it
We’re gonna make it alright
Grab your coat and hang on tight
It’s gonna get cold
Who knows where we’ll end up
But that’s alright
You’re the finest woman that I’ve ever know
And I am the luckiest guy

You’ll See Me Coming
It’s all been said before
In every minor key
The blue notes that decorate
The family tree
Negotiations have failed again
We just disagree
But failure isn’t compromise
Let it be
You’ll see me coming
(It’s alright)
Don’t come back looking
For me
Another fight in this little war
The pendulum will swing
You’ll walk out and slam the door
On everything
Would you take back the things you said
Are you too proud to see
We can always work it out
I believe
You’ll see me coming
(It’s alright)
Don’t come back looking
For me
