SUPERDOWNHOME - 2017
BOOZE BLOODHOUND
I got my juice bottle
Can’t control my mind
I got my juice bottle
Can’t control my mind
I might as well stay here
and drink a thousand nights
I’m gonna flirt with booze
To make the world go round
I’m gonna flirt with booze
To make the world go round
Cause down in Alcohol Town
Is where I do feel sound
Some blues gets me drinkin’
Some worries drive me down
Some blues gets me drinkin’
Some worries drive me down
My head is achin’
My mouth is runnin’ dry
I’ve got a crazy monster
I really can’t slow down
I’ve got a crazy monster
I really can’t slow down
Whenever something’s wrong,
I am a booze bloodhound
Whenever something’s right,
I am a booze bloodhound
Whenever something,
I am a booze bloodhound
CAN’T SWEEP AWAY
I woke up this morning
Mess all around my bed
I woke up this morning
Mess all around my bed
Life’s full of troubles
And my timing’s so bad
When there ain’t no loving
Ain’t no getting along
When there ain’t no loving
Ain’t no getting along
Well I’m so tired
Of being the one who’s wrong
I can’t sweep away
My sorrow and my pain
I can’t sweep away
My sorrow and my pain
I’ve always been lonely
And too cold in my heart
I’ve always been lonely
And too cold in my heart
I need your help you mama
Could you please play the part?
“Refrain"
DRUNK & MEAN
The night out is tempting
This city’s for diving
You feel like shootin’
Some Jim Beam
And mix it with Old Crow
But then you try to fool me
Tellin’ ur sick or what
You’re drunk and mea
You’re drunk and mean
You get out of old Joe’s (Bar)
With your brown paper bag
And decide to head back home
To head back home
Along the road you find yourself
Standin’ up against a tree
So when you try to sell me
You’re fuckin’ sick or what
You’re drunk and mean
You’re drunk and mean
You’re drunk and mean
You’re drunk and mean
I don’t know the way
There’s really not an answer
You wake up some morning
And find your own self dead
Your buddies love to party
The cats are on the loose
You start out with a soda
And end up on some juice
But then you try to fool me
And blame it on someone else
Refrain
AMBITIOUS GRACE
Sixteen year old Grace
You’d leave your small town
No big balls Or clubbing for the night
You wanna be a celebrity
But you seem confused
You don’t like your appearance
But you’re keen and cool
Sixteen year old Grace
You force the pace
When the wind blows right in your face
Life’s but a race
You wanna be a celebrity
But you seem confused
You don’t like your appearance
But you’re keen and cool
You wanna be a star
You wanna be adored
You gonna be a star
You gotta be a star
You wanna be a star
Sixteen year old Grace
Live your dream
From the TV and magazines
You want a big city
You wanna be a celebrity
But you seem confused
You don’t like your appearance
But you’re keen and cool
Refrain
TWENTY-FOUR DAYS - 2017
OVER YOU
I really feel
This time I'm healed
Packin' up
Things I own
I’m over you
I am well
No make pretend
And look ahead I'm over you
Yes I do
My Oh My
All is all right
It’s a goodbye
I twang my song
Singing along
Waiting for the next train to come
My Oh My All is all right
It’s a goodbye
I twang my song
Singing along
Waiting for the next train to come
OVER YOU
I really feel
This time I'm healed
Packin' up
Things I own
I’m over you
I am well
No make pretend
And look ahead I'm over you
Yes I do
My Oh My
All is all right
It’s a goodbye
I twang my song
Singing along
Waiting for the next train to come
My Oh My All is all right
It’s a goodbye
I twang my song
Singing along
Waiting for the next train to come
DISABUSE BOOGIE
I think it’s time ,you’re told the truth
All your life ,I’ve just lied to you
You might not get it , it’s plain to see
And somehow ,it’s also good for me
You’ve been taught,once in a while
To let it loose
But I know better,you should start relying on
Disabuse, Disabuse
Nobody loves you, noone seems to mind
I guess that may be the consequence
Of your being too kind
You were born, alone my friend
There’s no need ,to make amends
To save your ass from this despair
From this despair
‘Cause bad luck, hassle and troubles
You had your share,You had your share
Now you’re forced to pack, all your things
And go waltzin’, far away from here
Down the road a very far and lonely place
Is gonna be your new state of grace
And when they tell you should learn to let it loose
You know better,you should start relying on
You know better,you should start relying on
You know better,you should start relying on
Disabuse , Disabuse, Disabuse
GOODBYE GIRL
Here I go baby
Before you say goodnight
I’ve just made up my mind
I’m gonna say goodbye
Love has come
And gone too soon
A different road
Brings another tune
Just the trace of your kiss
The sweet taste on my lips
Things are getting crazy now
The more I think I know
The more I know I can't understand
Here I go baby
Before you say goodnight
I’ve just made up my mind
I’m gonna say goodbye
Just the trace of your kiss
The sweet taste on my lips
Things are getting crazy now
The more I think I know
The more I know I can't understand
I’M BROKE
I’ve got no house, I’ve got no car
I’m full of troubles, look at my scars
(x 2 t.)
I need a drink, I wanna smoke
But I’m broke, God I’m broke
I’ve got no dog I’ve got no bone
I could drop dead, lying in my bed
I’ve got a god, I’ve got no saint
I ride my cart singing, I wanna hold your hand
I need a drink I wanna smoke
But I’m broke God I’m broke
That ain’t good,That ain’t dope
I need a drink, I wanna smoke
But I’m broke God I’m broke
I wanna quit,I’d rather choke
‘Cause I’m broke,God I’m broke
‘Cause I’m broke, ‘Cause I’m broke
GET MY DEMONS STRAIGHT - 2018
GET MY DEMONS STRAIGHT
Some twenty thousand days have passed you by
And mostly riding at the speed of light
Being on the edge with or without your booze
Yeah that is where you hope to find some clues
Then one day you realise your life has gone
And everything right here and now might be too late
Cause you’re here still trying to get
Your demons straight
You have trained your soul to fly real high
To chase your wildest dreams ‘cause they don’t die
And to believe an end could be a new start
Inside your small and crazy thing called heart
Then one day one has a doubt he could be wrong
Cause there’s a line between the lightness and its weight
Someone’s here still trying to get
His demons straight
So when you find out that your passion’s a jail
And that the truth maybe a beautiful tale
Here’s my confession to these four black walls
Our life’s not meant to be that spiritual
And there ain’t no goddam use being sorry now
No real way to know if happiness is the bait I’m just here still trying to get
My demons straight
HIGHWAY MUSIC
Highway music, playin’ for you tonite
Highway music, playin’ for you tonite
Resoundin’ in your daydreams
And revitalisin’ life
Highway music, takes you for a ride
Highway music, takes you for a ride
It’ll have you drivin’ fast N’be home
Again in half the time
Highway music, will it get you high?
Highway music, will it get you high?
Well, my guitar here is itchin'
And a solid rhythm’s down
Well, my guitar here is itchin'
And a solid rhythm’s down
Well, my guitar here is itchin'
And a solid rhythm’s down
LET’S BALL
Friday’s here, I’m on a roll
Friday’s here, rock and roll
Put on my glad rags
Then off I go
And I know, where I’m bound to go
And I know, where I’m bound to go
But I want to
Keep it on the down low
Let’s ball, you hear me, let’s ball
Let’s ball, you hear me, let’s ball
Let’s ball...I guess that could be my call...
An’ I want more, don’t need an excuse
An’ I want more, don’t need an excuse
All I know
It’s the best way to hang loose
Refrain
TAVERNER’S BOOGIE
I, I, I’ll
Be drinking all night long
Bottoms up
Bottle down
Unsatisfied
Barman, bourbon
Pour me another one
Barman, bourbon
No drink and driving son
And then wander
Like a stranger, in this town
Let me play my blues
In this-a-here elegant suit
Let me stomp my groove
In my new cowboy boots
No more pain
No more troubles, nothing to lose
I, I, I’ll
Be drinking all night long
Bottoms up
Bottle down
Unsatisfied
Let me drink some booze
It really blows my fuze
And exorcise my ghouls
With the taverner blues
No more worries
No more hassles, no more dues.
Refrain
STOP BUSTIN’ MY BONES
You stop and ask me for a permit
While I’m buskin on the street
You spit your bureaucratic bull
When all I mind is my new beat
I’m just playing some music out at nite
And all you ever do is nag
It seems impossible to have my right
There’s no end to such a drag
I can’t figure out what the hell you’re doing here
Who the hell do you think you are?
This ain’t your goddam business man
I just mind my own affairs
Stop bustin’ my bones
Stop bustin’ my bones
Stop bustin’ my bones
Stop bustin’ my bones
There are laws for any single thing
And no more dancing on the street
I have to be my own accountant
When I should just meet and greet
I can’t figure out what the hell you’re doing here
Who the hell do you think you are?
This ain’t your goddam business man
I just mind my own affairs
Chorus
TROUBLES
When the load is heavy
And the road is long (x 2t)
That’s no easy way, no easy way
Now you see my demon
And you don’t see any light (x 2t)
My heart is on fire and my love is the night
Troubles come and troubles go
I keep on treading
On a dangerous road(X 2 t)
When you meet my demon
Dancing on my head (x2t)
It’s the old Blues calling
And you’re not coming back
Troubles come and troubles go
I keep on treading
On a dangerous road(X 2 t)
RAZOR ACTION BLUES
Looking for a reason
‘Cause I can’t stay away from you
You put a spell on me
Why don’t you let me be?
Trying to get you off my chest
Doing whatever I think best
Now you just read my lips
I’m not falling for your hips
Get ready for a changeI won’t be your fooI
I won’t be your sweet jewel
Get ready for a change
I will cut you loose with
My razor action blues
Trying to get you off my mind
Without ending up in a bind
And whenever it’s you that I miss
I’ll try out someone else’s kiss
Refrain
IT’S THE VOODOO WORKING
A diddley bow and a drum
Here’s my band, ain’t it grand?
Night & day, we could strum’n
Have you get to the promise land
Very close to seventh heaven
Hypnotizing as the most beautiful song
Temperature’s risin’ above one-two-seven
Give it up for us, our blues can’t be wrong
Can’t stop once I’m playing
It’s the voodoo working
Can’t stop what I started
It’s the voodoo working
It’s the voodoo working
Would you join us, you ready to dance?Come on over, shake again and again
There’s no chance to hide away
Gotta be doin’, be doin’ the do
Very close to seventh heaven
Hypnotizing as the most beautiful song
Temperature’s risin’ above one-two-seven
Give it up for us, our blues can’t be wrong
Can’t stop once I’m playing
It’s the voodoo working
Can’t stop what I started
It’s the voodoo working
It’s the voodoo working
Come on man, join the band
Come on man, clap your hands
Night & day we can dance
We’re gonna fly to the promise land
Very close to seventh heaven
Very close to the most beautiful song
Temperature’s risin’ above one-two-seven
Give it up for us, this blues can’t be wrong
Refrain (x 2 times )
