My baby passed away And now I'm feeling blue My baby passed away And now I'm feeling blue I thought she'd be my baby, but she has Other plans She hopped aboard a train And now she's riding West She hopped aboard a train And now she's riding West She said don't do it Don't buy a ticket My love's gone forever Buried six feet deep My love's gone forever Six feet underneath Oh, how she's the death of me Way she says never

Dead Woman
Working hard is what we do Each day this place we show up to Selling pie and pastries too Wiping tables when we're through That's just life for me and you

Employed
Divinity of the day, how true and overwhelming But that’s alright, you’ve given me sight God, that enthralled Lush, sunset boulevard torch A west Hollywood Rimbaud Scammed and scorched, running, but still breathing New age wild west muse Like midnight’s request for sweetness as music and dreams A rageling songstress on the longest roadway, sacrificing my best If I give you all my songs will you feel alright, lush Take me for all that I am? That much, run with the immense Learning everything, even how to bless With my roadhouse sheetmusic illustrating my life’s inspiration adorned walls, sad ending I was lost but playing it off, until my racing heart reached Time future and said, soul, believe what’s in store, Outrageous dose Beaming with strange and frightening beauty From chasing the lights that ascent into the heavens Dreamy, daring, absurdly hoping, all the real claiming Lord knows, I’m enamored with the purely copper arrows Aimed at heights, long and lonely paths for the Songs of death, of life, wilderness and good times With my diamond focus On the garden path of the wise, open, aware Just walking thru, even confused, you mean My images of paradise were drawn in diamond too? Permanent as the myths, legends, poetry?

Strikes Again
You’re a bumper riding Traffic sliding Maniac on wheels. You make me want to Back up into you So you know how it feels. You’re a narcissistic Unrealistic Self-important brat. Somebody needs to Bend you over a knee To show you where it’s at. You may be a good daddy at home And your family is glad to see you. But when you get behind the wheel Other drivers are sad to see you. You zip around us fast Breaking traffic laws. And flipping us the finger If you get a blow out Or maybe hit a tree Perhaps nobody will linger. We’ll shake our heads We might call the cops And sadly report the wreck, But to tell the honest truth It’s hard to feel sorry if your Rudeness breaks your neck. You may be a loving hubby at home But not out on the street, The way you treat your neighbors Is anything but sweet. If there is anything to karma And of course, to dharma You will get yours soon. The payback should eventually Teach you not to be so much like The Creature from the Black Lagoon. What’s the hurry anyway? Where are you rushing to In your hiked-up truck? You’re not dead yet Thus so far you haven’t run Through your streak of luck.
