I used to be
Happy go lucky all the time
Turned my carburetor
Into a wind chime
Now a days I’m low
Stay more to myself
Nothing seems to change
This mental state of health
I can sense the ocean
Breathing in the breeze
Sunshine all around
At 85 degrees
Salted is the water
I need none on the rim
Of the glass I’m holding
Somewhere deep within
Somewhere there’s an answer
To every lie you hear
Take the wheel and try
Try to steer in gear
Around all indignity
Parading out as proof
Steer yourself away
With that there’s no use
So call me an old geezer
Call me up sometime
Call me for baguettes
Crackers cheese and wine
Lets keep this party simple
Lets keep it moving on
Out into the distance
Lets share it like a song

I came back alone
Wishing I was home
Feeling high and low at the same time
Look out to the west
The ocean she confessed
The waves show off their crests
And turn back into sea
Inward went my soul
My brain had lost control
Thoughts blew through like wind
Outward from within
Don’t look now
The calm before the storm
Find yourself some shelter
To keep your body warm
As we haggled over price
The ocean turned to ice
Everything within
Was in that frozen bin
The sky shifted into grey
As night became the day
Nothing seemed to matter
Any more any less any way

Anytime you're through
You can come around
If you want to
Anytime you do
Stick around
Say around if you want to
A storm is near
You can feel it coming clearly
Anytime you're through
You can come around
If you want to
Anytime you do
Stick around
Long as you want to
A storm is near
You can feel it coming clearly

Sitting on this couch
Stressing out
When all I can think about is you
You haven’t called
Nothing makes no sense at all
All I know
Is I am blue
I miss the times
You were all that mattered
And everything
Mattered to me
Its my confession
On this day
To let that go
To let it be
There is nothing
In the whole wide world
There is nothing
In the deep blue sea
I know nothing
Of this world
All I know
Is you’re away from me

She’s a ghost
Who doesn’t believe in you
A host
Who wants to level the plane
She’ll toast
To the day ‘
The day she’ll be leaving you
And she’ll leave you
Emptier than when you came
Living a lie
Saying goodbye’s never easy
Tears in her eyes
She weighted the dice she’s rolling
Her eyes
She’s a mess
Under her dress
A vulnerable case
Damsel in distress

I waited till noon to start drinking
Drinking my blues away
Waited till noon to start drinking
And now I feel ok
Used to go out side with a mask on
Now I can take it off
I can now show my face in public
Without everyone getting pissed off
I waited till noon to start drinking
Drinking my blues away
Waited till noon to start drinking
And now I feel ok
I still love John Belushi
Chris Farley and all the rest
Folks with a sense of humor
Are the folks I love the best
I waited till noon to start drinking
Drinking my blues away
Waited till noon to start drinking
And now I feel ok
I used to wait for sundown
To have a beer at the bar
Now I drink home more often
‘Cause to get there I don’t need a car
