Cowboy Song

Lying on my back with my face stretched towards the sun
My body is going numb
I think my time has come
Cold hard blast from a sawed off barrel gun
And I can hear them angels hum
Come on home son
Come on home son
Come on home son
This cowboy game's no fun
When your life is a setting sun
And I can hear them angels hum
Come on home son
I used to ride with them boys out on the run
Married to my gun
That's how the west was won
But now they're gone and I'm the only one
And I can hear them angels hum
Come on home son
Come on home son
Come on home son
This cowboy game's no fun
When your life is a setting sun
And I can hear them angels hum
Come on home son
Lying on my back with my face stretched towards the sun
My body is going numb
I think my time has come

Serenity

Carry me home
To West Virginia I must go
Where my daddy lies in wait for me
Brace my momma's heart
For all the years we'll be apart
Let her know the Lord has chosen me
To be with daddy once again
Not as a boy, but as a man
Who fought and died for his country
Ease my momma's pain
Part the clouds and cease the rain
Let her know that my soul is free
In sweet serenity
In sweet serenity
Tell my Betty Sue
I did the best that I could do
To see her on our wedding day
I fought so very hard
But the devil drew my card
He laid me down inside my grave
And how I long for a dance
For a kiss and for a chance
To have ourselves a family
But I know you will be strong
The night is darkest before the dawn
Just believe that my soul is free
In sweet serenity
In sweet serenity
I have no regrets
I took a chance and place my bets
I wound up in a better way
Don't forget me when I'm gone
Find the good in what I've done
And remember that my soul is free
In sweet serenity
In sweet serenity
In sweet serenity

Love/Hate
03:42

Who was I to hold you back?
From all you claim to be?
This compassion, which you lack
Has taken its toll upon me
What about me
What About me
It's really no surprise
After all our history
I prayed for compromise
And still you for got about me
What about me
What about me
What are you doing but tearing my apart
you never seemed to care, you never had a heart
I gave you all I had
You threw it all away
And now you're feeling bad
You're begging me to stay
So I can stay?
Oh I will stay
Despite what you've done
I'm still in love with you
I wish I had run
I wish this love were through
I know this is wrong
There's a better life for me
I'm just not as strong
As I wish I could be
So I will stay
In a love full of hate

Tell Me
02:53
|

Just like the clouds are to the wind
Will you be my friend until the end
Or will we be like the moon and the sun
A world apart and always on the run
Tell Me
Just like the fish in the deep blue sea
Will you swim with me in harmony
Or will we be sworn enemies
Who blame each other for their own hypocrisies
Tell Me
What do the fates hold for us
May we still fall in love
Will we be like the birds and the bees
Making love and someday a family
Or will we be like the gangs in the streets
Who treat each other with a blind hostility
Tell Me
Or Will be be like the sun in your hair
So beautiful that nothing can compare
Or will be be like a smoke in the air
Hazardous to everything everywhere
Tell Me
What do the fates hold for us
May we still fall in love
Fall in love with me

Jake - Mexico
03:18
|

Rode my pony all the way from San Antone
Trying to make my way to Mexico
To Mexico
To Mexico
I'm on the run from the things that I've done
The life I live and the man that I was
I need to find my some peace of mind
Down on the beach where the warm sun shines
In Mexico
In Mexico
You can't stop me
Cause I gotta go
My sanctuary lies
In Mexico
I drove my pony all the way to Lazaro
Through hot sun, dry wind and valleys low
It's so good to feel that breeze
Blowing off the great pacific sea
In Mexico
In Mexico
