You know It’s no longer ‘cool’, just forget about ‘groovy’,
You got to be hip, if you want to talk to me
Better get out on the street, better come out of the kitchen,
‘Cause anyone who’s hip knows today… you say … It’s “dope” or it’s “bitchin’”

If you want to hit a bingo with today’s modern lingo
Don’t try to ‘cop or score’, (no one says ‘phat’ any more)
Better get out on the street, better come out of the kitchen,
‘Cause anyone who’s hip knows today …you say … It’s “dope” or it’s “bitchin’”

Well I saw it on facebook and it’s trending on line
It was just so dope it brought a tear to my eye
It made me wanna scratch just where I was itchin’
‘Cause I found a new word and it really Is ‘bitchin’

If you‘re stuck back in the sixties, then you better cut your hair
‘Cause It’s no longer ‘rad’ and it’s no longer ‘square’
Better get out on the street, better come out of the kitchen,
‘Cause anyone who’s hip knows today … you say … It’s “dope” or it’s “bitchin’”

Well I saw it on facebook and it’s trending on line
It was just so dope it brought a tear to my eye
It made me wanna scratch just where I was itchin’
‘Cause I found a new word and it really Is ‘bitchin’

Now the hippest of the hip never need a hip thesaurus
Cause their words are out of style soon as I can sing the chorus
They’ll be back out on the street, won’t be cookin’ the kitchen,
‘Cause two weeks from … today … nobody will say … It’s “dope” or it’s “bitchin’”
‘Cause they’ll find a new word …… and nobody will be‘bitchin’
        

Everybody’s got eyes, but nobody’s got vision
Everybody’s on the edge of indecision
Everybody’s on their phone, but everybody’s all alone
Everybody’s runnin’ from a drone

We’re going … but we’ve already … been
Time capsule twenty seventeen

You think they’re comin’ for your money, you think they’re comin’ for your gun
Everybody’s a victim, or wants to be one.

We’re seeing … what we’ve already … seen …
Time capsule twenty seventeen

Bring a dish for the table
We’re invited to dinner with the devil
Enjoy the meal while you’re able
The table’s warped but we think we’re on the level

Everybody’s on the run everybody wants their place in the sun
We’ve got plenty, but think we’ve got none.
Everybody’s got eyes, but nobody’s got vision
Everybody’s on the edge of indecision

We’re praying, but its time to choose our sin
Time capsule twenty seventeen

You think they’re comin’ for your money, you think they’re comin’ for your gun
Everybody’s a victim, or wants to be one.

She’s got sand in her shoes
She’s got the news
Wouldn’t listen to her father
Wouldn’t even want to bother
She’s got sand in her shoes, in her shoes

She’s got sand in her toes
Everybody knows
Wouldn’t listen to her mother
Wouldn’t eve listen to another
She’s got sand in her toes, in her toes

Gotta be near the ocean
Gotta be near the waves
Gotta be near the water
Sea shells that she saves
Her life will be the rave…

She’s got sand on her knees
She’s only three
Building castles in the sand
Got the whole world in her hands
She’s got sand on her knees, on her knees

Gotta be near the ocean
Gotta be near the waves
Gotta be near the water
Sea shells that she saves
Her life will be the rave…

She’s got sand in her shoes
She’s got the news
Never had a sister or a brother
But she’s livin’ her life in watercolor
She’s got sand in her shoes, in her shoes

Hey, Old Friend it's been a while
You don't look so good these days
You’re not as fit as when I was a child
Now that twelve score is your age

Back then I could count on you
You were my guiding light
I sang ‘My Country Tis of Thee’
But not so much tonight

After all this time
What made you change your mind?
After all you've been about
When did you cross that line?
Did you cross that line?

You used to say that doing right
…is the right thing to do,
Now you look away from me
and say ‘why should I have to’?

You try to grab all that you can,
and you call it freedom
You judge whoever's different
and you call it Christian

After all this time
What made you change your mind?
After all you've been about
When did you cross that line?
Did you cross that line?

You say we can't afford human
Compassion any more
The need that’s pulling on your sleeve
Keeps you from getting more.

Free market ideology
Beats out the rights of man
You think our constitution
Means to take all that you can

After all this time
What made you change your mind?
After all you've been about
When did you cross that line?
Did you cross that line?

There’s more than enough to go around
Come with me my old friend
Red stripes on your pants, white stars in your eyes
Come back in style again.

After all this time Will you let me change your mind? After all we've been about …

If you smile make me smile
If you laugh make me laugh
In Holiness

If you wish make me wish
If you dream make me dream
In Holiness

wildflowers bloom in open meadow
wildflowers blooming in o-pen heart
the smile of a beginning
the dream of a new start

If you breathe, make me breathe
If you sing, make me sing
In Holiness

Wildflowers blooming on the roadside
Wildflowers blooming in an o-pen field.
Breathing through the tides and seasons
Singing of rebirth and healing

Wildflowers blooming on the roadside
Wildflowers blooming in an o-pen field.
Believing some things are forever
To live and live again eternally

If you live, make me live

If you smile, make me smile
In Holiness
In Holiness

It’s my lucky day for bein’ alive
Here comes the mornin’sun
Shadows dancin’ on the lawn
The leaves are havin’ fun
It’s my lucky day

It’s my Lucky day for bein’ at home
That cookin’ smells so fine
Breezy porch and a sip of wine
And every minute’s mine
It’s my Lucky day

Feels like this is where I ought to be
Right where I’m sittin’ today

Round the bend’s as far as I care to see
‘Cause I know … she’s on her way

It’s my Lucky day for seein’ blue sky above
Its all gonna be ok
Lucky day to have someone to love
‘Cause now every day…
Is my lucky day

Feels like this is where I ought to be
Right where I’m sittin’ today
Round the bend’s as far as I care to see
‘Cause I know she’s .. on her way

It’s my lucky day for seein’ blue sky above
It’s all gonna be ok
Lucky day to have someone to love
‘Cause now every day…
Is my lucky day

I love apples during Apple season
Have a glass of apple cider cause I love that squeezin’
Yeah, its good ol’ Appalachian … Apple action for me
You’re the little apple of my eye
Sweet as grandma’s apple pie
Gonna sample some apples … under the apple tree

In the Fall, it’s time for pickin’
And I knew you’d be quite a catch
But as they say, down in Ellijay
Don’t count your chicks before they’re hatched

Well, that sweet apple cider’s like apple soda
I’d chase you all the way to Apalachicola
You know I’d be your apple troubador
I’d nibble off the tree, just like I was a critter
‘Cause I couldn’t wait around for grandma’s apple fritters
And you know I’d love you, right down to the core

In the Fall, it’s time for pickin’
‘Cause I knew you’d be quite a catch
But, as they say, down in Ellijay
Don’t count your chicks before they’re hatched

Well, you’re the sweetest apple I’ve come across
Hope you and I can make a little apple sauce
I just can’t wait until its harvest time ...
I’d put all your apples in my basket
Anything you want, you just gotta ask it
I’d climb your apple tree, just so you’ll be mine

In the Fall, it’s time for pickin’
And I knew you’d be quite a catch
But, as they say, down in Ellijay
Don’t count your chicks before they’re hatched

I love apples during Apple season
Have a glass of apple cider cause I love that squeezin’

Four Forty gets me into Nashville
If I can tune this Martin by ear.
Pickin’one beat behind
Playin’ out of my mind
Hope to get enough tips for a beer

I was playin’ on the street in Printer’s Alley

She said ‘can you get us out of this place’?
She was askin for a lie
So I promised that I’d try
But I couldn’t keep the smile off my face.

I said, baby, baby, what happened last night?
Eatin Five Guys burgers in the flickering lights
Stevie Ray’s twelve bars ringin in my ears
Can Four Forty get me out of here?

I was tryin to break the lineup at the Bluebird
She said we’re never gonna get in this place
Don’t they ever get bored
Playin those same three chords?
With that twangy country look on their face

I said, baby, baby, what happened last night?
Tunin’ this guitar by the music row lights
Stevie Ray’s twelve bars ringin in my ears
Can Four Forty get me out of here?

Twelve Bars …
Can make me a star
This guitar…
Never knew Four Forty’d get me this far

Now it’s Four Forty headin’ out of Nashville
‘Cause my lyrics don’t rhyme with this town
Tried to play the local sound
But I couldn’t dumb it down
So it looks like we’re north Georgia bound

Now she’s too hot to drop in Chattanooga
And this Martin’s finally sounding sincere
So I’m goin for broke
Just playin’ Blues and Folk
But it’s too early to be drinkin this beer

I said, baby, baby, what happened last night?
Just a little kiss in the pale moon light
Stevie Ray’s twelve bars ringin in my ears
Can Four Forty get me out of here?
Hopin’ Four Forty gets me out of here.
Hopin’ Four Forty gets me out of here.

It’s a wide open country Wide open road
Wide open lifetime, riding all alone…
In this wide open world, lookin’ for a heart to make my home
We’ll call this road of life our own...
You and me, we’re two for the road

No sense in traveling this road alone
With no turning back and no way home
Thru lonely towns and loveless zones
Where Time is a one way street

You and I found a lighthouse on the edge of the sea
Watched the swirling waters churn as the stars broke free
No more yearning, no more searching for celestial code
We’ll call this road of life our own
You and me, we’re two for the road

No sense in traveling this road alone
With no turning back and no way home
Thru lonely towns and loveless zones
Where Time is a one way street

I’ll find place where sunlight meets the showers
On a road where the mountains meet the shore
I’ll take you along and we’ll make them ours
We’ll call this road of life our own
You and me, we’re two for the road
You and me, we’re two for the road
You and me, we’re two for the road

She told me … she’s like a waterfall Tumbling … over edges of stones Never knowing … which way to choose Wand’ring along on a path for home

She told me … I’m like a mountain lake Constant … steady and deep Open to whatever flows in Carefully measuring what to keep

We’ll meet at the rainbow Behind the rain and melting snow … And follow where it flows

We’ll flow … together like water Touching … gravel and grass Riding on the stream and wind Sharing everything that comes to pass

We’ll meet at the rainbow Behind the rain and melting snow … And follow where it flows Together we’ll flow… She told me … she was a waterfall Tumbling … over edges of stones …..

And so, we might meet again some way
And laugh away the day
Once again
With you, I never knew time to go slow
But now I find I know
That it was you
Who made me smile
All the while

And so, words in tune soon pass away
Across the time we play
Harmony
We two played our chords in space and time
Progressions stop their rhyming
But you do
Still make me smile
All the while

And so, if our paths should cross again
We’ll still remember when
Life was new
These days, passing in the golden sun
Through all the tears and fun
I always knew
You made me smile
All the while
You made me smile … all the while
