V1:  Maybe they were drunk, maybe they were crazy.  Maybe they were head over heels in love.  I guess some things are beyond explanation.  All you can say is good bye and good luck.  Chorus:  Sometimes it's a good life, sometimes it's a great life.  Plenty of ways to have a good time.  With the right love and in the right places,  The world can be more than nickels and dimes.  They gambled their fate on a southern migration.  Took I-55 to the end of the line.  A stone's throw away from the old Mississippi,  The air was alive with magnolia moonshine.  V2:  They found a place where the living was lazy.  A big and easy refuge from the speed of life.  When your odds are less than your parents' expectations,  You have to trust in love and just give it a try.  V3:  She made waxwork Baron Samedis  In a little tarot shop on the Rue Dumaine.  He hung sheetrock, but the work wasn't steady.  Money was tight but they never complained.  Chorus:  Sometimes it's a good life, sometimes it's a great life.  They always managed to have a good time.  With the right love and in the right places,  The world can be more than nickels and dimes.  They gambled their fate on a southern migration.  Took I-55 to the end of the line.  A stone's throw away from the old Mississippi,  Each day was a taste of magnolia moonshine.  Bridge:  And Old Man River rolled on.  The lazy summers passed by.  One day they woke up old.  He held her while she died.  And though he's in no hurry to take his last breath.  He's ready to see her, to see what comes next.  A place sweeter than wine, like magnolia moonshine.  V4:  It wasn't a great life, but it was a good life.  He's got no regrets that he spent his time  Just a stone's throw away from the old Mississippi.  Each day was a taste of magnolia moonshine.  V5:  We live in a world that's one Big Maybe.  It helps if you're head over heels in love.  The journey's worth more than any destination.  All you can say is good bye and good luck.  Chorus:  Sometimes it's a good life, sometimes it's a great life.  Plenty of ways to have a good time.  With the right love and in the right places,  The world can be more than nickels and dimes.  You can do worse than a southern migration.  Take I-55 to the end of the line.  A stone's throw away from the old Mississippi,  We all need a taste of magnolia moonshine. 

I think I love you. I think you want to kill me. I seem to have that effect on everyone eventually. What happened, what happened, can’t make the connection, Can’t trace the line from there to here. And the lies hurt, the truth hurts, cuts me down. I guess it’s over, can’t change it now. Everybody looks at love from their own perspective. When you’re in the moment, it’s hard to be objective. Passion has a way of clouding every issue. Promises of granite turn to nothing more than tissue. And in each other’s eyes you see A difference of opinion, A difference of potential. I thought you loved me. I think you wanted to love me. Maybe repetition would get you there eventually. It happens, it happens, those moments of rejection, We crossed the line, somehow, somewhere. And the lies hurt, the truth hurts, cuts me down. I guess it’s over, can’t change it now. Everybody looks at love from their own perspective. When you’re in the moment, it’s hard to be objective. Passion has a way of clouding every issue. Promises of granite turn to nothing more than tissue. And in each other’s eyes you see A difference of opinion, A difference of potential. Maybe we’ll be friends. We can still be friends. I’ll check and see, when will Hell be Frozen over? Then we’ll be friends. Everybody looks at love from their own perspective. When you’re in the moment, it’s hard to be objective. Passion has a way of clouding every issue. Promises of granite turn to nothing more than tissue. And in each other’s eyes you see A difference of opinion, A difference of potential.

I’m a learner  ‘cos I try  And I saw you  asking why  ‘cos I felt sad  became mad  now, I’m free and glad  I was trapped  In my fad  I dug a grave  For another time  I was sinking  With my bottles  Tied around me  Where would I be  Tomorrow ?  CHORUS  I let it out  I cry and you shout  If you see me on my knees  Turn a blind eye to me  Verse  I am a hunter  Of your goodwill  Have no fear  I won’t sell the chair  I’m a fixer  That’s much better  I fix my soul  Filling a hole with a bottle  Just to see one more  tomorrow  CHORUS  I let it out  I cry and you shout  If you see me on my knees  Turn a blind eye to me 

Well, here we are, my circle of friends. I’m so glad to see you again. All talking at once. All laughing too loud. All lifting a glass and lowering the flag. I hope this moment never ends, my circle of friends. Whatever you desire. Tomorrow makes it’s own plans but we’re here right now. There were dreams lost in the shuffle but some are still around. You weren’t always there to catch me every time that I fell down, but you helped me shake the bad. I’m so glad I have you, my circle of friends. I’m so glad I have you, my circle of friends. I’m so glad I have you… Take our memories on a ride when our past comes calling, calling. Circle around each other when our pride is falling, falling. Well, here we are, my circle of friends. I’m so glad to see you again. Here we are, my circle of friends. I’m so glad to see you again. Here we are. Here we are. Take our memories on a ride when our past comes calling, calling. Circle around each other when our pride is falling, falling.

once again in-between coasts from one end to the other a country full of ghosts someday get to the other end another sunrise around the bend baby sing out the blues as you make up the song it's only us two and you know you knew that here there aint no right or wrong you had a nice dream it fell apart in your hands then all you had left was a mountain of debt in your heart take the road still believing and as long as you keep feeling some day so fast so high we will fly we will fly you can't hide from the sun it will always find you Evangeline you had a nice dream Evangeline it fell apart and all you had left was a mountain in your heart Evangeline you had a nice dream Evangeline Evangeline today we will follow the sun in its path a hundred years from now we'll look back on this and laugh but for today just push on the gas roll as fast as we can tomorrow creeps on its petty path Evangeline you had a nice dream Evangeline you had a nice dream joel_sattlersongs - lyrics

I wrestle with temptation  and argue with the sun.  The world never did want me  but I made it on my own.  Who needs to earn a living  when I know how to steal.  All I have is a reputation.  All I own is my last meal.  Chorus: Clean Montana rivers.  Clear Montana sky.  The clouds stay at a distance  and watch the time pass by.  The mountains and the pine trees  are fighting for the sky.  The clouds all keep their distance  and watch as I pass by.  I reach out for what's given  and things that should be mine.  I make new rules as I go  and ignore the warning sign.  I'm divided in my loyalties  but claim a right to love and hate.  I can make my peace with heaven  but I know that it's too late.  Chorus  Wherever I am standing,  that's where I should be.  I'll move on if I want to,  but don't ask me to leave.  False prophets open closed doors.  Good people look away.  The land of all Montana  is mine if I choose to stay.  ©2012 by Suzann Baldwin.

With the sun shining one minute  and then pouring rain the next  there's no such thing as safe  just innuendo and subtext.  Chorus 1:  What about tomorrow  colors love today?  What about your smile  makes me want to stay?  The illusion of a future  is the message that you sent  but even before we begin  we are at the end.  The rainbow has it's beauty  but it always fades away.  Your words speak in riddles  even while you tease and play.  Chorus 2:  What about a dream  keeps things safe inside?  What about a promise  with nowhere left to hide?  The illusion of a future  is the message that you sent  but even before we begin  we are at the end.  Repeat Chorus 1  Repeat Chorus 2  Lyrics by SUEBEE

standing lost in calm thought,  in front of a shopwindow  baby, I was here  a memory so rare  And all these streets leading  once seen fading  baby, I was here  staring into all faces,  tell me who loves this place,  baby, I was really here  long before time stands still  painfully alive  in this graveyard  and I say  this place must disappear  chorus  I am a new man  In a new world  Gracefully free  Theres so much to see  Verse 2  this stillness  never desired  once choking me slowly  must disappear  where all Ive seen  must disappear  this timeless sadness  my painful existence  must disappear  chorus  I am a new man  In a new world  Gracefully free  Theres so much to see 

Theres a light In the darkness of piercing pain There goes my heart Chained to a grain of hope Theres a fight In the streets of the dark city Shes so right Some people live with no pity Theres a voice In my head telling me to stop Theres a choice I could give up and simply drop Theres a cramp Creeping around my neck Whispering the message boy, you should get out of your cage !? Chorus You cant evict an idea Or the wisdom of Sophia The prediction is in action To end this bloody addiction Verse 2 I feel the warmth Where the fist landed on my cheek Theres a road In the end, I can see a cliff Theres a code A highlight in my soul Theres a role For all the souls involved Theres a voice In my head telling me to stop Theres a choice I could give up and simply drop Theres a cramp Creeping around my neck Whispering the message boy, you should get out of your cage !? Chorus You cant evict an idea? Or the wisdom of Sophia The prediction is in action To end this bloody addiction Bridge In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, freedom is more than just an ideal to be valued - it may be essential to survival

[verse]  there was a night I saw dancing, dancing alone  you were just like a bird that took to the air and flown  and then before I knew it my heart you stole  I was thrilled to the bone  because you set fire to my soul  the moon was out and you were spinning down by the sea  the beach was empty there was nobody else but me  and before I knew it lead turned to gold  and the heat took a hold  you set fire to my soul  [chorus]  you mean the world to me  you're all I need to set me free  you set the fire deep in the part  where desire starts so  burn my up entire heart  [verse]  I walked up to you and I said please tell me your name  and you laughed a laugh that sent me down into flames  and before I knew it I felt a jolt  and you were in control  because you set fire to my soul  and now we dance together every night until dawn  and now my love growing for you on and ever so strong  and now I know that when the story is told  our love will never grow old  because you set fire to my soul  [chorus]  you mean the world to me  you're all I need to set me free  you set the fire deep in the part  where desire starts so  burn my entire heart  joel_sattlersongs - lyrics

Christine Remember all the times we laughed All of the tickets torn in half All of the roads we dreamed about my love Remember when we were so sure Remember when we knew what love was for When we were older than we are now Christine Remember what we could have seen Remember what we could have been But we were only seventeen? And now we both have gone our separate ways Christine A thousand years have passed us by my love And though we never knew just why my love Christine I always love you my friend I often think of you back then But I guess it had to end Christine Remember all the times we laughed All of the tickets torn in half All of the roads we dreamed about my love Christine A thousand years have passed us by my love And though we never knew just why my love

Ive made a peace with myself  The deal was righteous and fair  Nothing to share or spare  I walked away  Then there was a man I know  With a short attention span  There was always a plan  In the dark corners of  the late night restaurant  I nodded my head  and walked away  CHORUS  Fools, Fools  Always write the rules, oh fools  Fools, fools  Youre chasing me like ghouls  VERSE 2  A dark lizard  crawls outside  I held my head and cried  I felt alone with my pride  Wish I could walk away  Slowly fade away  CHORUS  Fools, Fools  Always write the rules, oh fools  Fools, fools  Youre chasing me like ghouls 

smothered by night  shuddered in disguise  I gathered my smile  for her  The lather in the air  felt like a glare  She was like a dream  to me  -----------------------  I touched her hips  I licked her fleshy lips  With a gentle anger in me  I dipped myself in a deep sea  Felt like eternity  Felt like immortality  Shy girl kissed me once again  and set me free  CHORUS  My heart pays the price  Each night I roll the dice  Frosted on ice  I?m lost  VERSE 2  Fireflies in the dark  Shaped like a heart  Glowing, vibrating  I know  she just cried  I had to leave her  Leaving like a ghost, a blur  Thats what I prefer  Most of the time  ------------------ It's all in the game  No ones to blame  I can get all the shame  With a tainted fame  I used to love someone  And I lost her somehow  Now I get everyone  And everyone gets me somehow? 

Im digging the dirt  In a desert  With a spade and sweat on my shirt  Somebody up there  On a easy chair  Looking at me with a blank stare  Im feeling hurt  Cant say a word  Like a caged bird, my song?s unheard  A hand in the air  Telling me to stop and stare  My burden is too big to share  I know I should stop  And let it drop  I should let it go  Let it flow and flow  CHORUS  Im digging the dirt  feeling hurt  like a love sick flirt  Im digging  VERSE 2  Im picking up the pieces  After the deceased  A love gone wrong  It seems all wrong  My case was strong  Somehow I can?t sing my song  grinding my teeth  whispering  loathing  cant feel the ground under my feet  I know I should stop  And let it drop  I should let it go  Let it flow and flow  CHORUS  Im digging the dirt  feeling hurt  like a love sick flirt  Im digging  BRIDGE  I carry my anger like a hunchback  My smile is cracked  And there?s no way to get it back 

See the sun coming up Always a surprise I can see the dawn In your eyes Everything was so right Till I realized I forgot today You would say goodbye Coffee cup Sky of blue Tell me so true my dear Lump or two Piece of toast Jam on bread Can you still recall What we said Morning down by the lake Cabin in the woods Air so crisp and clear This is good Look at all of the snow On the upper heights Of the mountain top Clean and white Birds waking up Sing to mates Would it be so bad If you wait The world will keep turning Round for a while But it has to stop When you smile Stay for just one more year Stay a little more Sit with me a while By the shore Stay one more century Stay another day I would be so glad if you say you'd stay if you say you'd stay.... joel_sattlersongs - lyrics

As I stood outside the church  see the spires rise to the sky  a monument to God with a door  that is open wide  all we think and perceive and conceive  all we feel as men  love will find you in the end  no matter what you might believe  this is only one of a million truths  you cannot keep God in four walls  when He calls  you must find what is all  you must find yourself  and when death must come  no one else can face the dawn  ====================== as I stood outside my faith  saw heavens infinite  beyond all that  I may have learned  saw the dark saw the stars  as they burn forever  and I knew God could be felt  not understood  no matter how hard  never could  I could see no one  is truly free  we are bound to the earth  to find out what we're worth  all all that we think holy  is just a grain of sand  that you can't  hold in your hand Joel Sattler - lyrics
