Here I Am

Sunday morning I woke up and rubbed my eyes
Found my heart on my sleeve
Bittersweet words that tumble through my mind
God grant me my repreive
A careless woman, she done me wrong
Turned my tender love away
Now I lie all alone inside this cheap motel
Not a word left to say
No I won't, no I won't ask again
If you want me, darlin, here I am
I pulled my shirt on washed my face
Gather my last few bones, I'm headed on
February wind blow ever so cold
Tell that woman that I've gone

So I took a big chance and took up my lance
Went out lookin to rumble
When I saw her eyes, I dropped my guise
'Cause I knew I'd have to be humble
There were summer rides and lovely eves
Rustlin around in the autumn leaves
All the hope that I could ever know
Down on Eller Road
Found myself a little pot of gold
Down at the end of the monochrome rainbow
Swirlin round in circles around my soul
Two later years, realized our fears
That the world's about to crumble
All the eyes in the Eastern skies
See men who won't be humble
Man with a vision, man with the charm
Got a little sweet baby on each arm
Goes to bed at night and cries alone
Down on Eller Road
No regrets, no remorse
Gotta hitch the plow to the back of the horse
Keep movin on to the next one

Send my regards to the old man
Tell him I tried to make him proud
Take my old bible to my mother
Tell her of the peace I have found
Carry my rifle to my brother
Tell him I hope it serves him well
Gone to find my fortune by the water
Gone to fish the waters of the Puget Sound
Take my empty flask to my uncle
Fill it full and pass it around
Tell them all of the fabled waters
The early morning fog of the Puget Sound
Give this old guitar to my woman
Tell her of the new home I've found
My soul still belongs to that woman
But my body lies at the bottom of the Puget Sound

Laborer's Lament

My hands are strong from years spent working
Just to salvage the land
The winter's long, the pistons keep pushin
Got to carry the man
Don't keep me long
I got no time today
The stonecutter's woman
She gonna make me pay
A maturation, the dawn of reason
The devil gets his due
Made of bourbon, made of blood
Whatever get me through
Cool your engines, sell your guns
Before you leave your knees, yeah
A four winds warning, the temples keep burnin
Enough to boil the sea

Always Be Mine

There you were, Daddy's girl
The whole world brightened up at the sight of you
Your little curls, your other worlds
I gaze in amazement from your door
I would buy you a red umbrella for when it rains
And its okay
I will find you some pink shades for sunny days
Make a funny face
Just always be mine, always be mine
Always be my girl
Your big brown eyes, beneath the skies
Run, run, run through the autumn rain

Yesterday's Gone

Sweet Desiree, she never plays
Only stares at the ants on the floor
When she wigs out, they take her out
Even though she cries "No more"
And yesterday's gone
Desiree's gone, she's all alone
Beating her against a padded wall
And she's afraid, is it night or it day?
She can't tell when there's no light at all
And yesterday's gone.
Orderly Ray, Orderly Ray
Loves her but he knows she's just too young
He let her play outside in the rain
Feelin' the heavenly drops on her tongue
And yesterday's gone
My Desiree, oh my Desiree
Will always remember that day in the yard
And it's okay, she's tucked it away
Never, ever forget but it's hard
'Cause yesterdays' gone
