Grace
Give a little grace, right about now
Give a little grace, right about now
The world keeps spinning' round
The days grow long and shorter
The days grown long and shorter
The world spins round and round
And your foot can't find the brake
On the broken roller coaster
On the broken roller coaster
Your foot can't find the brake
Give a little grace, right about now
Give me a little grace, right about now
And your mind goes up and down
Like a broken Goodwill toaster
Like a broken Goodwill toaster
You mind goes up and down
And your foot can't find the brake
On this broken roller coaster
On the broken roller coaster
Your foot can't find the brake
Give me a little grace, right about now
Give me a little grace, right about now
Treat a stranger as your friend

Parkway Flower
Springtime comes quick in Caroline
Springtime comes quick in Caroline
So honey come to me, come to me
Honey come and be my Parkway flower
The Yankee winter long and hard
The Yankee winter long and hard
So honey come to me, come to me
Honey come and be my Parkway flower
Transplant you on a southern slope
Up where the water flows
Appalachian sun and soul
To love and watch your grow
Hear my song from hill and holler
Honey come and be my Parkway flower
Hear my song from hill and holler
Honey come and be my Parkway flower

Campfire Girl
Sit down write a letter to my Campfire Girl
She's long gone living in the jungle in the 3rd World
Way back when we were modern lovers
Eating coney dogs and listening to Buck Owens
That was then, this is now
Try to turn my pen into a flame right now
To light my Campfire Girl
C-Girl I'm not the man you knew
I'm vulnerable just like you
And if you can't find the time
To write me back I won't mind
I won't mind, I won't mind, I won't mind
Sit down again this time write a letter to my Punk Rock Girl
She's long gone riding the white pony in the First World
Way back when we were rock and rollers
Drinking 40oz and listening to Ramones
That was then this is now
Try to turn my pen into a pin right now
To prick my Punk Rock Girl
P-Girl I'm not the man you knew
I'm vulnerable just like you
And if you can't find the time
To write me back I won't mind
I won't mind, I won't mind, I won't mind

Buzz on the Eiffel Tower
When I look for love, I look abroad
Lazer line like needs they can't be ignored
There's a boy for every girl and versa vice
And Radio France is staying up all night
If you're looking for love don't play around
Go to the source where it can be easily found
'Cause everybody knows where love originates
And the Eiffel Tower is that rumored place
You see the sun goes down and the moon comes up
The moon comes up and the stars come out
The stars come out and my heart heats up
And when my heart heats up the love come down
Love comes down, love goes up, love comes down
The affairs of the heart they need a strong foundation
To handle all the wild oscillation
One minute your up and the next your down
That's why I ride the Eiffel elevator when I'm in town
You see the sun goes down and the moon comes up
The moon comes up and the stars come out
The stars come out and my heart heats up
And when my heart heats up the love come down
Love comes down, love goes up, love comes down
I said the affairs of the heart they need a strong foundation
To handle all the wild, wild, wild oscillation
One minute your up and the next your down
That's why I ride the Eiffel elevator when I'm in town
You see the sun goes down and the moon comes up
The moon comes up and the stars come out
The stars come out and my heart heats up
And when my heart heats up the love come down
Love comes down, love goes up, love comes down

Twist
You can try drinking some bleach
But stay away from the crowded beach
Keep a safe social distance
Build up your immune resistance
Wear a mask and wash your hands
Take a lavender bubble bath
But the best cure for the virus...gyro-oscillate your pelvis
Twist, twist, twist the Covid away
Remain in the quarantine
Transfixed by the Tiger King
Check your falling stock
In the Wal-Mart parking lot
Write a letter to a sailor
On the stricken aircraft carrier
Open up your window
Hear the birds sing alleluia
Twist, twist, twist the Covid away
Everybody twist, twist, twist the Covid away

I Feel Anything
Don't get me wrong, but every time we meet
You promise to ply me with your finest weed
We pass round the J and chew the fat
But there's no use hiding this simple fact
I can't feel anything
Jim tends the bar and Paul wise the cracks
Down go the beers in nothing flat
The grass that you pass in on permanent rotation
The Urgh Music War is my favorite station
But I can't feel anything
Still can't feel anything
Everybody knows I run on and on
But I think for a change I'll end this song

Forever Away
Last night it dawned on me
She seems to love me more when I walk out
Less when I come back
More when I walk away
If this be true as the oceans are blue
Let's dispense with the lies
Shed the tears crack the smiles
For life is too short to be lost in the game Darling
Shall I come home or just go forever away
This morning it's safe to say
She really does love me more when I walk out
Less when I come back
More when I walk away
If this be true as the oceans are blue
Let's dispense with disguise
Shed a tear, crack a smile
For life is too short to be locked up in chains Darling
Shall I come home or just blow forever away
Forever away...

Voices
I hear voices in the other room
What they're say I don't know why
Stranger voices in the other room
I can't explain it, no I don't know why
But that's when the walls started closing in
Again and again
Now I'm getting cryptic signals from another world
I can't explain it no I don't know why
I'm getting cryptic signals from another world
What there saying, I don't know why
But that's when the door started opening
Again and again
But that's when the door started opening
Again and again

Brown Liquor
Crawl out of bed
Pour me a glass of brown liquor
You can sip your wine, chug your beer
But mines quicker
Yeah brown liquor
Oooo brown liquor
My girlfriend says it's gonna bury me
Did somebody die and make her the Queen of Brown Liquor?
Each day I face the barren waste
Made bearable by the case
Of straight brown liquor
My neighbor says it makes me mean
A big pricker
My doctor says the more I drink
I get sicker
Ooooo brown liquor
Don't touch my brown liquor
Promise one day I'll go to therapy
As long as I can bring a bottle with me

Scattered
Come check my pulse I don't feel like myself or any other
Come check my pulse I don't feel like myself or any other
For that matter
Some good friends of mine are chasing divine
They think it matters
A good friend of mine is chasing divine
It prays it matters
While all the things that I believed
Were ripped torn from me and left me scattered
Forever scattered, scattered, scattered
All the things that I believed were ripped town from me
And left me scattered
It took too many years to see what was taken from me
Never really mattered
It took too many years to see what was taken from me
Set me free, set me free, set me free
So come check my pulse I don't feel like myself or any other
Come check my pulse I don't feel like myself or any other
For that matter
All the things I believed were ripped torn from me
All the things that I believed, were ripped town from me
And left me scattered
Forever scattered
