It Takes a Lot to Laugh, a Train to Cry (cover)

It Takes a Lot to Laugh, a Train to Cry.. (lyrics) Well, I ride on a mailtrain, babe Can’t buy a thrill Well, I’ve been up all night Leanin’ on the window sill Well, if I die On top of the hill And if I don’t make it You know my baby will. Don’t the moon look good, mama Shinin’ through the trees ? Don’t the brakeman look good, mama Ragging down the “Double E” ? Don’t the sun look good Goin’ []

What’s so Funny ’bout Peace, Love, and Understanding? (cover) live

What’s so Funny bout Peace, Love, and Understanding? (live) (lyrics) As I walk through This wicked world Searchin’ for light in the darkness of insanity. I ask myself Is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred, and misery? And each time I feel like this inside, There’s one thing I wanna know: What’s so funny ’bout peace love and understanding? What’s so funny ’bout peace love and understanding? And as I walked on Through troubled times My spirit gets so []

Savin’ Grace (cover)

Savin’ Grace. I have done this tune before, it has gotten me through hard times. Now I am doing it for Tom Petty, (get well soon), besides he wrote it anyway. (lyrics) I’m passing sleeping cities Fading by degrees Not believing all I see to be so I’m flyin’ over backyards Country homes and ranches Watching life between the branches below And it’s hard to say Who you are these days But you run on anyway Don’t you baby? You keep running []

Can’t Buy Me Love

Can’t Buy Me Love . Yeah..um.. I need to become to much coffee man.. This thing is off the rail, too fast and drowsy. Musical equivalent of eating handfuls of Sudafed and chase it with Whisky. In Indiana, that is called “Sending Yourself Sideways.”

Song Request for Audrey and Tammy!

‘April Skies’ (the Jesus and Mary Chain, cover) Hey a few words. My friends Tammy and Audrey mentioned that they dig my Velvet Underground tunes. Audrey said, yeah those are good, but I would like to hear you a song by the Jesus and Mary Chain. I almost bought the album Psychocandy when it came out. Seemed really distorted. But the group is down my alley. So, I lived this one to an extent. Presenting April Skies…. (lyrics) Hey honey what you []

Rattled (cover) live

Rattled (live) I have heard that rock n’ roll was at least one part hillbillie. So..I would like to add, it could even be Psycho-Billie, therefore here is my tithe to the melting pot….

the Weight (cover) live

the Weight (live) (lyrics) I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin’ about half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head “Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?” He just grinned and shook my hand and, “No”, was all he said Take a load off Annie Take a load for free Take a load off Annie And you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me) []
