Lullaby In Blue
I went riding in the moonlight
Waltzed among the stars
My companion , my white stallion
Washed away the scars
Don’t tell me you don’t want love
I know it isn’t true
I see it in your heartbeat
Your lullaby in blue
O your lips they taste like honey
Hair as fine as silk
I saw you dancing in a garden
Where flowers never wilt
{refrain}
I went riding in the desert
Waiting for the rain
As every seed knows with some patience
The desert blooms again.
{refrain}
your lullaby in blue

Just One Day
She was kneeling by the river , head bent down to pray
"Can’t take this suffering" I overheard her say
O, I'd give it all away …. Just for one more day
He was gambling with that wall street , stocks fell down like stone
No more happy family , goodbye happy home
He’d give it all away… just for one more day
The road goes ever on my friend and time will have its way
Hold on to love and love will find a way.
I gave to her my true heart what she wanted was my soul
I came into this world with nothing and that’s just how I go
I’d give it all away …. just for one more day
One more day, one more hour, one more hour one more second
I’d give it all away…….

Louisiana Dream
Spanish moss dripping off of the tress
Hot sun burning but a cool Gulf breeze
Driving my rig down to New Orleans
Gonna see that pretty woman , she’s a cajun queen
And it’s a blue , blue , blue , Louisiana dream
Got my headphones on I light a cigarette
90 miles an hour , Oops , sometimes I forget
Moving past the bayou trying to hold that line
Thinking about that woman , how she blew my mind
in a blue , blue , blue , Louisiana dream
Sitting back home in my rocking seat
picking my banjo and tappin a
There’s fire on the ocean , oil on the shore
I use to eat catfish , but I don’t no more
Cause it’s a blue , blue , blue , Louisiana dream
Louisiana dream ,Louisiana dream …..

If You Were Mine
You reach for the sky hoping to have and to hold
But the future is something you never expect to unfold
And the look in his eye is broken and distant and cold
But I’d treat you like heaven
Love you all of the time
You’d be Queen of Angels
If you were mine.
It’s a long dusty road between what you were and what you’ve become
A pocket of sand in your hand for all that you’ve done
And the siren inside you is saying “ You better run”
But I’d treat you like heaven
Love you all of the time
You’d be Queen of Angels
If you were mine
I’ll treat you like heaven
Love you al of the time
You’d be Queen of Angels
If you were mine
Love you forever Love you all of the time
Be Queen of Angels
Say you are mine

Back In Blue
I’m back, I’m back, Back in blue
Back in colors tried and true
I’m back, I’m back, back in blue
I can’t help it if I’m still in love with you
I was coming up with nothing
Digging myself a hole
Straight down to China
And deeper than my soul
Then I saw that rainbow
Heard the morning dove
I remember you saying
It was all about love
So I’m back, I’m back, back in blue
Back in colors tried and true
I’m back, I’m back, back in blue
I can’t help it. I’m still in love with you

There’s A Mountain
There’s a mountain that I live on
Watched it burn right to the ground
But I ain’t moving, not for no one
Won’t be fooled this time around
So lets go waltzing among the stars
Doesy- doe around the bend
This here life is still worth living
Happy Trails my friend
Down in the Valley there’s a city
I don’t think I want to go
I’d rather be here with wild horses
And the roaming buffalo
So lets go dancing among the stars
Dosey-doe arounfd the bend
This here life is still worth livinig
Happy trails my friend
There’s a mountain that I live on…..

You Comfort Me
Well I’ve been riding, sometimes crying
Thought about dying but now I’m flying
O, O, EEE, you comfort me
O, O, EEE, you comfort me
How you gave your heart to me is a wonder to behold
Your love’s my destiny and I’m amazed
to watch that love unfold
Watch love unfold, watch love unfold
Well I’ve been trying though all the sighing
Not to be lying, just to be flying
O, O, EEE, You comfort me
O, O, EEE, you comfort me
Watch love unfold child

End of the Line
Down in El Paso tokin on grass OOOO
Waitin on bus 409
When somethin strange happened the seat that I sat in
Was take in up by a lady so fine
He shot me a side glamce so I took my last chance
Cause I ain’t got nothin but time
She said “I’ll move over if you be my lover
And take me to the end of the line
To the end of the line I will love you darlin
Cross the border line to be with yu forever
And never go wand’rin again
When we got to Miami she gave me the wammy
Said “Adios sucker I’m gone
You gave your true heart so you play the fools part’
Then she left me there standin alone
Now I’ve been a gambler, a rider and a rambler
But the girl really messed up my mind!
But ya know I’ll get over cause I’m just a lover
Headin for the end of the line

Shanti’s Song
Your love my love one in the same
I come running when I hear you call out my name
Angels ,rainbows coming our way
As we ride like the wind
Om Shanti Om
Om Shanti Rom
Your love, my love one in the same
Inside is sunshine outside the rain
This time is our time we’re going to fly
And ride like the wind
Om Shanti Om
Om Shanti Rom
Love rules our world, one family
One tribe, rainbow, wild and we’re free
Inside your heart, that’s where I’ll be
Well fly like the wind…. And ride like the wind
Om Shanti Om
Om Shanti Rom

Lost My Way
I wandered north ,south ,east an west
Followed a vision I thought was best
But the road caught fire and I got no rest
Lost my way , I lost my way
In the dark of night I rode into town
Sold my soul to the lost & found
Crept up on me , didn’t make no sound
Lost my way , lost my way…then you found me!
You found me.
Life’s a gift and that’s the truth
Time movin on , I got the proof
Runnin wild like an old wild wolf
And lost my way, lost my way ..then you found me!
Don’t sell yourself for the gravy train
You just can’t win baby if you play that game
If it aint love then its just insane
If you loose your way , loose your way…I’ll find you
