Science Of Gravy

Early in the morning, before he heads out
She's cooking him sausage and toast, being quite as a mouse
He grabs his thermos, Chicago bound
How'd he survive before she came to town
I know their house, I've been there before
There's a smell of onions being cut on a board
Big ideas, outside of their backdoor
I'm always a kid at my grandparents home
They've got love, love without pretense
Always handing out food and compliments
They tell me Davey, someone has got to lose
Won't you pick your head up and pull on through
They had this dog, for quite a time
The dog had it's own armchair, to survey the outside
It nearly broke him, when that dog up and died
Now I play him "Ole Shep", I see tears in his eyes
They've got love, love without pretense
Always handing out food and compliments
They tell me Davey, someone has got to lose
Won't you pick your head up and pull on through

Little Sis

LIttle sis, little sis please take the reins
My body is weary but the band still must play
Little sis, Little sis how far we must go
How many more songs left in this show
Little sis, little sis I remember it well
The night that I threw all my chips down the well
Little sis, little sis said I gave you a spark
The night that we stood near Sunset and Clark
Sunset and Clark
Well the bright lights, and the hot nights, and the folks dressed in red
Makes my heart beat, gives me fast feet, lets me know I ain't dead
No, I ain't dead
Little sis, little sis how far I did roam
While you remained closer to home
Little sis, little sis do take care
Trouble will find you anywhere
Anywhere

Old River

I'm starved for starlight and I can't find you
My peace of mind, my peace of mind
I've crossed a limit, misplaced my moonbeams
I'm so unwise, I'm so unwise
Old River, why do you flow
Where do you go, maybe I wanna know
Old River, take me far, set my map to the stars
As you wind and bend
Oh blind forgiveness, what have you taught me
I've learned to lie, I've learned lie
I believe in madness, you believe in mercy
I takes all kinds, it takes all kinds
Old River, why do you flow
Where do you go, maybe I wanna know
Old River, take me far, set my map to the stars
As you wind and bend
Old River, if your bed would run dry
Or your current subside, it'd be like to die
Old River, yes you've been by my side
Given hope in disguise, your watery flow
Your watery flow, your watery flow

Wished Me To Hell

I've got to go, I've got to fly, I've got to leave this ole' town behind
I've got to say, won't you fare me well, for my baby wished me to hell
And she gets just what she needs
For I've always been there to please
Even now I play her games
As I walk down into the flames
I've got to go, I've got to fly, I've got to leave this ole' town behind
I've got to say, won't you fare me well, for my baby wished me to hell
So bring on fortune, bring on fame
I drink a little whiskey, I begin to lean
Whiskey river come and ease my pain
As I walk down into the flames
I've got to go, I've got to fly, I've got to leave this ole' town behind
I've got to say, won't you fare me well, for my baby wished me to hell

Sad Souls

I woke up this morning listenin' to ole Guy Clark
They don't make 'em like they used to
Sad songs and broken hearts
There ain't nothing like the truth to make your body feel divine
So let's join in this commune of sad souls and hearts like mine
Sad souls, sad souls you done rocked until you rolled
Where is mercy, where is comfort sad souls
Dear John he left us on the fourth day of July
Dear Abby she missed out, didn't even say goodbye
Still picture frames and artifacts make me slowly lose my mind
Let's join in this commune of sad souls and hearts like mine
Sad souls, sad souls you done rocked until you rolled
Where is mercy, where is comfort sad souls
There's an empty chair in a darkened room, where I used to set
Drinkin' table wine from a big ole jug that's all I could afford to get
Singin' songs and killin' time, trying my life not to waste
Now it's all about the same, all that's changed is you and me
Sad souls, sad souls you done rocked until you rolled
Where is mercy, where is comfort sad souls
