On & on & On |
You have arrived son |
Is this the last frontier? |
It’s quite a drive son |
So get yourself in gear |
‘Cause, Kid, you ain’t home yet |
Cement takes some time to set |
It’s been a long haul |
Am I knocking on the wrong wall? |
You have arrived son |
Messy business |
This mess is surely mine |
A sketchy witness |
Picked me out a line |
I know that I messed up |
When I drank from that cup |
Been entertaining |
Now you’ve got some explaining |
It’s messy business |
Nova Scotian |
That the blood that’s in my veins |
By the ocean |
Til I fanned those prairie flames |
Footloose and fancy free |
Now I’m a spinning 33 |
Complete devotion |
Is that the cost of love’s commotion? |
Nova Scotian |
Bad things happen |
That much we understand |
But hands keep clappin' |
When the shit does hit the fan |
You can’t let it do you in |
Somebody get me my gin |
Hands keep clappin' |
I miss Scott Tappen |
Bad things happen |
So many places |
I have traveled in my months |
Wide open spaces |
Down to claustrophobic trunks |
And if they lock you down too long |
You can pay them back in song |
Feel it coming |
Just like my guitar humming |
I will pay you back now |
I sing a verse now |
For those come and gone |
And left this earth now |
And we’re stuck here rolling on |
I can still hear Tappen tap |
I can still hear Judy’s laugh |
Helen’s making movies |
And my Granny Kay, she’s baking cookies |
They’ve come and gone now |
Friends from high school |
They show up now and then |
It’s kind of awkward |
To make like we’re still friends |
I guess in a way we are |
I usually see them in a bar |
You’ve been drinking |
Now that gets me to thinking |
It’s kind of awkward |
I’m just like my father |
With calloused fingertips |
I’m just like my mother |
When the red wine’s at her lips |
Been rocking on the bow |
But I’m home to tell you now |
I found the right rhyme |
Without the daytime there’s no nighttime |
Just like your parents |
Stompin Tommin' |
In a badass cowboy hat |
Tutankhamun |
The boy king of this and that |
And when Margo starts to dig |
I hope Reggie’s got the gig |
Is it uncommon? |
To have nothing in common? |
With friends from high school |
True deception |
It will break your heart in two |
We need protection |
From the words that cut right through |
If you wanna know how it feels |
Under your thumb, under your wheels |
You heartless bastard! |
Quit denying this disaster |
It’s true deception |
To the point now |
I’m tired of feeling down |
And out of joint now |
I’m so sick of messing around |
Help me out now if you can |
Won’t you lend a clapping hand? |
I won’t disappoint you |
No, I don’t want to disappoint you |
What’s your point now? |
Sheila Rogers |
I like her speaking voice |
Sons and daughters |
Going down to Critic’s Choice |
Rent a movie and stay in |
Somebody get me my Pimm’s |
Floorboards creakin' |
Hush up now Sheila’s speakin' |
It’s Sheila Rogers |
Baby, I miss you |
I’ve been gone too long |
Swimsuit issue |
Now I’m just rattling on |
Your loving sure felt fine |
So turn off your seatbelt sign |
Hear me knocking |
This deadbolt needs unlocking |
Baby, I miss you |
Long and winding |
This long, long winded road |
Lost and finding |
Out my future’s bought and sold |
They’ll price me with a tag |
Then they’ll put you in a bag |
It’s too expensive! |
Why you so defensive? |
Long and winding |
Triple record |
Now that’s just rattling off |
My past is checkered |
And my future’s polka dots |
I’ve been gone too long |
I’m so sick of all these songs |
You’re in the driveway |
Our love is like a highway |
It goes on & on & on… |
