Headstrong
Put the parking meter in a paper bag
It's out of order now what a drag
I've got lots of time today
Got no shirt
Stuck in the rain
A guy came by said I looked in pain
This guy has got no clue
I've got nothing to do
Chorus:
Headstrong
You got to stay headstrong
Lift a seed, pull a weed
Rise up from the ground
Headstrong, you got to stay headstrong
Something's just down around the bend
Ellen was a working girl
Along for the ride
She'd strip down in any town
And then she'd call me
She'd say, " I want to know about love
And I know you love a woman
What kind of woman
Can be loved?"
Chorus
Hello
There's so much to do in a day
Hello
You got to work to make each day pay
I've been a slave to a bar
Been chained to a guitar
Can you help me out of here, can you help me out...
I took the faith I thought I had
And put it into a garbage bag
Dumped all my records into the sea
I got back and the car was towed
That's one more up for all I owe
And I'm just trying to live free
Chorus

Be
I'm not going to take
Take your side
I don't want to know whose side you're on
I'm not going to take
Take your side
Every little side
It turns out wrong
Chorus
I'm just going to be
A part of that mountain
I'm going to be
A part of that sea
I'm just going to be
Slave to the air
And that's all that I'm going to be
I'm not going to move
Out of position
I'm not going to leave
My mind behind
I'm not going to let you down
With new information
Falling out from the sky
To rest in the ground (chorus)
I'm not going to waste
Any more anger
I'm not going to loose
Any more faith
I'm going to dance away
Away from this sorrow
Take a chance that tomorrow
I'll still be in this place (chorus)

Junk Man's Journey
Stop sign, go sign, people see you feeling fine
Left turn, right turn, break it out and let it burn
Nonsense makes sense, everywhere you go
You go with the flow, for the flow, up ahead down below
It don't matter
Stying thin getting fatter
It doesn't really matter on a junk man's junk man's journey
See the sky, close your eyes, see another space
Everything is real, some hurt, some heal
Wake up, go to bed, read about what someone said
Laugh about it
Cry about it
Live with it or live without it
It don't matter
It can not matter
It doesn't really matter it's a junk man's junk man's journey
Bless the ground, bless the sky, bless the trees, ask why
Get a job, hold it down, leave a job, get out of town
Stay rich, stay poor, wonder what you're living for
Answer questions, ask some more
Open up or close the door
It don't matter
It can not matter
It doesn't really matter on a junk man's junk man's journey
Buy this, buy that, throw it all away
Make a friend, start again, if it doesn't work then trade it in
Too small, too tall, too good, no good at all
Catch a thought
Break a fall
Interrupt a phone call
It don't matter
It can not matter
It doesn't really matter it's a junk man's junk man's
Journey

When Lilly Dreams
It tears you up
But here you are
One less love
One more scar
Another story
For your friends
They get into you
You took the ring
And bag of clothes
Where you went
No one knows
You leave them clean
You leave them
Never quite knowing you
Chorus
When Lilly dreams
She dreams of a road
When Lilly sings
She sings about love
When Lilly lies
She breaks a heart
And carries it with her
He wasn't that good
He wasn't that bad
You're going to miss
The love he had
It's hard to love
When they're so dam into you (chorus)
When Lilly comes down to see me
She ain't going to stay
There's going to come
Another day
Where there's no pain
No hell to pay
There's a life
And it's out there waiting for you (chorus)

The Fool In Me
Well you know how it goes
>From time to time I wonder
Does it take a heart to break
To make the fool inside me see?
When she sleeps sometimes I feel
A part of me is missing
Something lost within that silence
Like a touch I cannot feel
Lord I never felt alone
Until I had someone to leave me
And I've fought with all I've left
To never feel that way again
If I've left you for so long
That you must try to love another
May I only loose the lover
May she always be my friend
Sitting down by the highway
With no way back
And no way home
You know how it goes
>From time to time I wonder
Does it take a heart to break
To make the fool in side me see
When she sleeps sometimes I feel
A part of me is missing
Something lost within that silence
A touch I cannot feel
