The Ghost
I saw a ghost not long ago
It showed itself as a reaper foe
And I knew it was chasing me
Lord give me a second chance
I cant deny its just circumstance
And I know that shadow"s catching me
And I know that shadow"s catching me
All I need is clarity and all I crave is clemency
Time now is growing short
No way to repent and forge
Cuz I know that ghost is circling me
As my hours are few and hazed
I see the reaper's not gonna wait
And I know I can feel him here
And I know I can feel him here
All I need is to save my soul
Spirituality evermore
Regrets I have so many so few
A life so burdonned with nothing new
And I know hes taking me
And I know he’s taking me....

Down to Georgia
Going down to Georgia
Trying to clear my mind
Repeat
Ain’t nobody there waitin
But I need to spend some time
yes I do
Once knew a woman there
She set my soul on fire
Repeat
Now Im just burnin
And the ashes are blowin out
Interlude
Oh Lord give me hope
Oh Lord give me peace
Oh Lord give me strength
Oh Lord help me last
I need to find a new way
To make my thing fade away
Going down to Georgia
Trying to clear my mind
Repeat
Ain’t nobody there waitin
But I need to spend some time
yes I do

Casualties
It occurred to me that most things
Can be strong
But they can be weak
It appears to me that often what's wrong
is seen as strong
Chorus: Living in the web of life
Trying to see the self made right
Oh we glorify (sanctify) some things (those things)
Oh we can't see the the harm (pain) it brings
It seems so strange to me
That we can kill in the name of God
And it stifles me
That we do it from all marquees
Chorus
It seems unwise to me
That so few people control the doubt
And it frustrates me
That all power dictates throughout
Chorus
It seems astounding to me
That we persist
As a species of life
Given our frailties
How can we survive the casualties
Chorus

Rodeo Drive
Sweet one cant you see I m no good on my own
And here you go sending me on the road alone
I’m on a ride
I’m on a ride
Called rodeo love
Never knowing where my next feeling goes
Drifting with my honey heavy on my heart
All my memories racing from the start
I’m on a ride
I’m on a ride
Called Rodeo love
Hanging on so tight when I know Im falling off
Interlude
Gotta start trying to change my errant ways
Not sure how long I can take these hurtin days
I’m on that ride
I’m on that ride tonight
never understood that curse called rodeo love
Why is my soul always craving lasting love
A feeling thats always there and hard to overcome
Oh give me strength
Oh give me strength tonight
cant seem to shake that thing called Rodeo Love
Sinking down
Sinking down

Hour of Darkness
Many years of trying to find myself
It didn't matter much to me
Highs and lows
Ebbs and flows
Eroding slowly
Through my soul
Chorus: Well in my hour of darkness
Time stood still
In my depths of sadness
My test of wills
As an actor in a never ending scene
I always catered
To what was screened
Perpetual motion
of a damaging notion
Shook the core right out of me
In my hour of darkness
Set me free
Break these shackles
That stifle me
Here I am moment by moment
Tryng to live life in the now
No more guesses, no more stresses
I want my happiness somehow
On my passage to wellness
I reached within
changing my perception
of where life begins
Life begins x3

Odyssey
A Hundred miles down the interstate
I take my broken dreams with me
listening to the song on the radio
reminds me of where Ive been
Lost my job and the girl of my dreams
Nothing that was promised in that self help magazine
Its just an odyssey
Where Im going might just make me free
Another 1000 miles to see
The ups and downs got to even out
Make me see things more enjoyably
They say the way I see things brings me down
So an open mind should get me off the ground
Its just an odyssey
Cityscape comes in my view
Ah The pillars of success
Where Ill start is anyones guess
New dreams always start me fresh
Adversity brings opportunity
Strength and change take hold presumably
Its just my odyssey
repeat

Yesteryears
Met a girl in SAN Anton
She took my breath away
Got me thinking of all I could have
Reminded me of yesteryears
Cindy Lynn was her name
She had me mesmerized
Hook line sinker she was
Im thinking of my yesteryears
Chorus: Oh Lord. my sweet Marie
She was the one for me
I know I'll never get her back
Lord she passed so suddenly
Interlude
My feelings never got to love
I thought I could forget
But everywhere I look around
Reminds me of yesteryears
Now I'm trying to find my way
It always starts so well
But give it any kind of time
Reminds me of my yesteryears
Chorus...
