Around floating
grains of sand kicked up
by the sprinting toes
of shoeless feet

There remains
a bursting glow
of the purest

Joy

"*******" to me
I was flattered
but not interested

So I just said
"No thanks"
and walked away

If the last place
you look
is where
you find things

Maybe
you should
look there
first

There is an old man
got one good leg
don't use no cane
he just hops on
down the road

He got a mangy dog
don't see too good
can't hear much too
it just follows
its nose

And when trouble comes
they got no place to go
they just stand their ground
and bring some trouble
of their own

So watch out
for a one leg man
watch out
for a mangy dog
if you got trouble
on your mind

And when good times come
they still got no place to go
they just hang around
and bring some good times
of their own

Watch out
for a one leg man
watch out
for a mangy dog
if you got good times
on your mind

Everyone lies
except me

Two plus two is four
There's someone knocking
On my front door

When I go to see
Who is it and ask
Who came to visit

I hear "Two plus two is five,
In my opinion"

So I say "Your'e welcome inside,
But four ain't five
And that is no opinion"

Loyalty
Is so hard to find

Because loyalty
Is so hard to do

It’s hard to be true
Every day and night
No matter what might
Have been better for you

And loyalty
Is so easy to say

But loyalty
Doesn’t always stay

When it comes time
To step up to the line
You might be surprised by
Who stays behind

Yet you still have to do
What you know is true
Even if you have been left
Out in the cold

Because loyalty
starts with you

But when it comes through
Nothing else can outdo
That feeling you get
Like you were dying
And yet you’re still alive

So you can select
The ones who will get
That feeling from you
But just don’t expect
The same in return

Because loyalty
Is so hard to find
