Mad hatters and hares
Walking hand in hand
Down the highway
In our Wonderland

The girl with her gown
Thumbs another car down
To escape a reality
That she doesn't understand..

And the mushrooms make her feel
So good inside yeah yeah yeah yeah..
And the tea is poisoned with
Something she can't abide

Girl, girl in the desert
Girl..underneath a highway sky
Girl..Girl in the garden
Is it any wonder why...
Why why why why...Aaaow!

She knew too much
That she read in her books
Now she's underground
And not the way that it looks..

And the queen in the red dress
Has shown the blackest heart..
Little blonde girl
Dont you know your pain is a work of art..

Girl, girl in the desert
Girl..underneath a highway sky
Girl..Girl in the garden
Is it any wonder why...
Why why why why...

Why did you have to die-ie-ie-ie..

Well Little Sally May
Won't you come over to play
You know your daddy's gone to drinking
Lets run away lets hide away

No no Ody I can't do that
The last time he found me
They threw me out
And they let in the cat

Well I know your baby blues
And it feels like it's no use
To feel trapped
And you wanna break loose

Well come on come on
Lets melt in the sun
Come on come on
Lets melt in the sun
Little May the days only begun


Little Sally May
Didn't come over today
Police man came
And took her far away

The next time I seen her
She was on the strip
Showing her skin
But never did she ever
Get a tip

She said Ody Ody
Where have you been all my life
Won't you take me far away
Won't you make me your wife?

You know i love you
Baby i do
But its been so long
Since I've heard your baby blues..

Well come on come on
Lets melt in the sun
Come on come on
Lets melt in the sun
Little Sally May the days only begun

I met a man along the road..
I met a man along the road..
His face was young,
His spirit old..

He told me about the northern lights
Underneath the mountain sky...
I asked his name he gave no answer
Is he the answer to a prayer...

I passed him by again today..
I passed him by again today
His face was young
His eyes were gray..

I said Friend you look
Like you've seen some hell!
He said that was a story
He could not tell..

I called him the keeper of the road..
The keeper of the road...
And he won't pay the toll
Keeper of the road..

I saw him lying on the desert ground..
A rattlesnake tie was all I found..
The snake it struck and he killed it by his hand
The snake  was life and it's the end...

I called him the keeper of the road..
The keeper of the road...
And he won't pay the toll
Keeper of the road..

Hey there God
Im sorry for the things that I say
Sometimes I cuss too often
When I should fall to my knees and pray

Sometimes I forget to thank you
For letting me see another day
Or for protecting me from things
That i don't even know come my way

You know some days just aren't long enough
For all the things I want to do
But before I waste one more minute
Can I ask one thing from you

Forgive me for this
Forgive me for that
Forgive me for not paying more attention
To the change in the strangers hat
Stay with me by my side
With your arms opened wide
And Forgive me for taking more than I give
Won't you show me how to live..

Hey there God I guess you saw what happened there
There was an old woman
Struggling with her bags
And it looked like i didn't care

I'm always in a hurry
Like i can't slow down
If I lend a hand
Would the world stop spinning round?

Lord I ask you to bless everyone
In this prayer..
Cause little do we know
There are angels everywhere...

And Lord
Forgive me for this
Forgive me for that
Like the time I drove by
The stranger with a flat
Lord help me make things right
Cause it keeps me up late at night..
Lord show me how to love and give
Won't you teach me how to live...

Let my hands reach out to help them
Let my actions be louder than words
Help me build up these bridges
Instead of letting them get burned..

Forgive me for this
Forgive me for that
For cussing out loud
And "chewing too much fat"

Forgive me for this
Forgive me for that
When I get too **** mad
And I'm going up to bat..
And to forgive when I can't forget
Lord show me how to live..

Lay me down in the mountains
When it's my time to go
Don't you worry about leaving me there
I won't be cold anymore

I've always loved the smell
Of a smoky mountain rain
Among those trees that i know so well
I won't feel anymore pain

And I enjoy the sunrise
Yes up here it's quite a view
I couldn't think of anything more nice
Except maybe to spend it with you
And when those wolves are howling
I won't be afraid
These creature have to eat too
Just lay me down in the mountains, babe.

Turn me towards the sun
So you can feel some warmth on your face
My miles have already been run
But it seems you're still in the race

So lay me down but don't say goodbye
This isn't where our story ends
I know it hurts and you want to cry
But we'll see each other again

And I enjoy the sunrise
Yes up here it's quite a view
I couldn't think of anything more nice
Except maybe to spend it with you
And when those wolves are howling
I won't be afraid
These creature have to eat too
Just lay me down in the mountains, babe.

Life ebbs away much like ink, leaving only a blank page and room enough for someone else to write their story.

Let Them Be Children

It only lasts a little while
A peaceful life with a cheerful smile
Haven't a worry, haven't a clue
What the rest of the world is going through

Let them make their mistakes
Let them have their fun
Singing all of their silly songs
While they play all day in the sun

Dont forget
Dear mother and dad
They want the childhood
That the both of you had

They want to draw
And fight with their brothers
But that's not all
They'll sometimes forget their manners

And that's okay
Because tomorrow is new
To do something else
They set out to do.

So let them be their astronauts
With a box on their heads
Let them be doctors
Or cowboys instead.

Let them be young
Let them be free
Until the future is ready
Just wait and see.
