Days Of Old 04:22
Days Of Old Me and Martin, sitting in the back of the good ol bus. Sparked one up and burned one down just the two of us. Started rolling, laughing til we cried and it hurt. Didn’t care that all we could afford to smoke was dirt. These are the days of old, memories of my past. These are the days of old, I knew these days could never last. Me and Daniel, sitting in his room playing guitar Taught me Black Dog, and Sweet Home Al didn’t get too far. Was the start of the best change to ever happen to me. Was a boy who helped to shape the man that you see. These are the days of old, memories of my past. These are the days of old, I knew these days could never last. Funny thing about memories, not caught on film their just stories Memories all seem to fade, and all are lost in the ground we’re laid. These are the days of old, memories of my past. These are the days of old, I knew these days could never last.

Honeychild 04:13
Honeychild Hey was it something I said? Why are you going to bed? Please don’t leave me alone, Cause I’ve got a great big bone To pick with you my honeychild Yes you, my honeychild. Stoned me with sweet talking jive, you were Buzzing like the queen of the hive Turned my world all around. My knees bent to the ground. For you my sweet love Yes you, my honeychild Oh my honeychild you’re like sucking on sugar cane. Sweet sugarplums be dancing in my head. My sweet tooth is aching and full of pain. There ain’t nothing sweeter than you candy in my bed. Oh my honeychild……you’re so sweet. So please baby take me to bed. Forget all the words that we said. Talk all about this at dawn. When yesterday’s worries are gone From you my honeychild. Yes you my honeychild. Oh baby you are my honeychild. Yes you are my honeychild.

Heartbar 03:45
Heartbar Shades filter through my eye, sunlight is shining down. These are the days I will never forget, here in these sacred grounds. Mountains cut into the sky,rivers run fast and clean. These memories of my childhood, the most beautiful place I ever seen. This place will be no more, where the campfires burn Thing keep changing before my eyes, every second the world turns My father told me it was a special place, of which a few did only know. This grove of trees so ancient and so wise, from which the falcons flew. Makes me wonder which way does the world go, when we destroy all that is good. Makes me wonder about the soul of a man, would we save it if we could? This place will be no more, where the campfires burn Thing keep changing before my eyes, every second the world turns When will we be coming back here again, This place will be no more. When will we be coming back here again, This place will be no more. When will we be coming back here again, This place will be no more.

On The Road 04:17
On The Road On the road out to Georgia, I saw the sun set in the sky Know I’m coming out to see you Too many years have passed us by On the road, I’ve seen the strangest things Saw an angel fall from the sky I left to find myself, and try to free my soul Looks like I can go home now I left to find myself, and try to free my soul Looks like I can go home now These country road they are a windin’ Can lead you down so many ways Was myself I was a findin’ While I was gone these many days On the road, I’ve seen the strangest things Saw a man break down and cry I left to find myself, and try to free my soul Looks like I can go home now I left to find myself, and try to free my soul Looks like I can go home now Midnight hours they are a passin’ Time for me to ramble home ‘Thout your love I ain’t a lasting Time to stop this endless roam On the road, I’ve seen the strangest things. Saw the Devil ask God why? Oh God why? I left to find myself, and try to free my soul Looks like I can go home now I left to find myself, and try to free my soul Looks like I can go home now

Sweetgrass 03:37
Sweetgrass Billy-Rae was an honest boy, raised in Nashville Tennessee You know he had a country soul, kinda soul that could set you free. Headed out to California, land of sand and sunny beach. Before his eyes stood a vision, this conclusion he did reach. More than fate had brought him here, He fell in love with a girl down on Sweetgrass Lane. Becky Jean was no country girl, she loved that New York skyline. Her family came to California, and fell in love with the West Coast life. Riding on the PCH she saw a sign in the morning dew. Then she felt her breath steal away, man that’s how that woman knew. More than fate had brought her here, He fell in love with a boy down on Sweetgrass Lane. Winds of fate can blow you down, so many roads you could roll. Hope you find yourself in a place that feels good to your soul. For Billy-Rae and Becky Jean, search for love is finally done. Joined together in harmony, two parts made into one. More than fate had brought them here, They fell in love with a dream down on Sweetgrass Lane.

The Wheel 06:24
The Wheel Find myself alone with my emotions Trapped inside a silence I can’t sound Dwelling in the possible inversions That keep me here rooted to the ground. I focus my attention to the wheel, A point in time returning to it’s end Pondering circular motion Ways into confusion it will lend Driving now without a destination Heading down a highway without gas Wondering where I’ve been going Heading on a journey that won’t last I focus my attention to the wheel Spinning on an axis forms a roll Heading heedless without a direction Leaving me with questions for the soul. I’ve living for some forgotten fantasy Hidden in my soul until today I’ve living for some forgotten fantasy Hidden in my soul until today Until today, until today, until today Gonna find a way to beat it Put my life back in line Gonnna find a way to beat it Make my soul mine (make my soul mine) Make my soul mine (make my soul mine)

Something To Be Said There is something to be said About a man who climbs a mountain Only oh only cause the mountains there There is something to be said about human determination And the will to persevere There is something to be said About a mother who brings forth life And much more to be said about the family that will make it thrive There is something to be said about human determination And the will to persevere There’s something to be said About the souls who’ve sunk to the bottom But continue to rise and fight for a breath of air, ooh sweet sweet air Will you be held down by the waters of oppression Or let the sun, oh let the sun set you free There is something to be said about human determination And the will to persevere

Rubys 04:00
Rubys Well haven’t you ever wanted to Smoke a doobie Ruby (burn one down) Why wouldn’t I want to get high, It’s not like I need to fill a void (pass it round) Tell me Gus what’s all the fuss Bout what we’ve been doing? Don’t get it at all, it’s like talking to a wall Everyone’s so paranoid According to Dan the government has a plan, To rid the world of joy (burn one down) But I don’t think we’re staning on the brink, We have yet to light the fuse (pass it round) Say hey Lee thinks Christianity has forgotten it’s own story What the Bible say still meaningful today God gave us seeds and herbs to use If I don’t bother you don’t bother me. Everybody’s got the right to be free, hey oh na na na Well haven’t you ever wanted to, smoke a doobie Ruby Why the strife don’t you know it’s my life Just wanna have a little fun, Light it up, light it up

Why does this have to be? Well all of this happening We have a choice to live our lives to the fullest And they don’t want to let us no Why can’t they leave us alone Why? Why does this have to be? Why? Why does this have to be? Why oh why does this have to be? Why oh why does this have to be?
