Animal State Of Mind
Long time since I've been here
but it's all coming back to me now
Can feel it-a deep growing hunger
remembering how it use to be
Running through my body
wanting-demanding to be released
Nothing to fear
but the heart of passion rising up
It's almost dangerous
it's animal-animal state of mind
Taste it on my lips
wild-so desired
Long time since I've been here
and it's all coming back to me now...

This Ol' Guitar
This ol' guitar
has been my best friend
through thick and thin
It has held all my thoughts
spoken them through melody
words whispered from my heart
And at times
this ol' guitar
has even held tears at bay
Stopped my world from falling apart
it even has kept
this ol' heart from breaking in two
Yes, this ol' guitar
has served these aging hands
of mine so well

How The Days Roll On By
Seems as though
it was just yesterday
You came running down the hallway
jumped up into my arms
Sayin' daddy
it's saturday, can I watch cartoons
And now you're gone
living a life of your own
how the days roll on by
Sometimes I think about
all those timeless little things
moments somehow that never fade
And it seems like it wasn't so long ago
tossing the football
your first day at high school
Oh if I had only known
how much of a man you would become
I would have told you then
how proud I am of you

Mutual Suicide
Sufficent breaths
nothing left
of the best
settling for what's thought
good enough
but it's really rough
uncut
Full of hate
anger
meant to die
but wanting to fly
you are the one
left insulted
how's it feel
Not alive
waiting for mutual suicide
just a quick ride
fast

Learn To Love Again
She left him standing there
the way Cinderella did
at the stroke of midnight
a glass slipper left laying there
like moments now
a sweet kiss still lingering
Ran away as if she no longer cared
and in the back of his mind
their song began to fade
Felt the sting of tears
tried to laugh it off
inside it cut like a knife
He would dropp down to his knees
curse the world if it would change anything
just to somehow ease the pain

Nothing Gets In Here
Chorus
Walls of concrete
nothing gets in here
Put on that smile
that sheild of safety
Nothing gets in here
so this heart won't break
nothing gets in here
Verse 1
It's tomorrow
just another day
And if I don't fall
tears will never again escape
Keep distance
isn't it better-without the pain
Verse 2

This Daddy Thing
I remember
waking up to the sound
saturday morning cartoons
G.I. Joes raging war
on that carpet battlefield
in your bedroom
Barefoot
stepping on toy cars
Causing panic at the Indianapolis five hundred
two hundred laps on the living room floor
Laughing outloud to myself
wondering just what I got myself into
This daddy thing
got my nerves on edge
got my tongue twisted
Come toss the football with me
tell me how fish swim like that
what makes the rain

Three Sheets To The Wind
Verse 1
Isn't it about time
yes, I've played this part before
I can recall each line
I'll cry out-Don't go
and you turn and walk away
I scream out-what about our yesterdays
knowing inside
this heart is going to break
Chorus
And later on
here I'll be
lonely and blue-three sheets to the wind
Tryin' to wash you out of my head and heart
with another drink
another sad song playin' on the radio
Like Remember When and Three Sheets To The Wind
