How do you sell, that which is free
Oh the tale of the American Dream
What I pursue don't satisfy you
Cause nothings ever free
Oh my God it's a way of life
Paying dues to the name subscribe
1500 is all I need to eat my food and have a place to sleep
Give me fans or give me friends
I could play that old song again
I don't know what's on the radio
All I know is hitting the road
There's no room in any place
Where people can go right out of the way
To try to find, what people don't find
But the couch seems pretty safe
30 minutes is a really long time
Some people say it's a really long drive
Well, my friends, I've been far and wide
And it ain't what you had in mind
Just any old geek right off the street
That's no joke; Used to work IT
Burning time is 4:25 and the bar is where I drink
Jesus Christ, it's a way of life
Playing those tunes where I don't make a dime
1500 is all I need to I can eat my food and have a place to sleep

What's Going On
03:25

For the first time in a while
I saw them stars at night
10 million twinkling lights
Flashing in the sky and
I don't know what's going on
A little ways out of town
Where you can't hear a sound
Here I am chopping (chopping)
Before the rain starts coming down and
I don't know what's going on
Cause I don't smoke, so I don't know
A thousand bucks a week
All for smelling like weed
If the town don't care, then I don't care
Cause Humboldt's pretty sweet but
I don't know what's going on
But they all smoke, so I don't know
The nights are always frozen
And someone's always toking
I ain't got paid, and now I'm broke
And there's no way to use my phone and
I don't know what's going on
But I just smoked, so I don't know
And I don't know what's going on

Tejon Street

Tejon's got it going on
Got the Rabbit Hole and Jack Quinn's Pub
Some football star became a bum
And the craft beer's better than Florida's
Tejon, Tejon, it ain't that far from home
Everybody's drinking beer all day long
The booze is strong and the bud is too
We're only 5 minutes from Manitu
Got the fuzz hanging out when everyone's buzzed
And the street at night gets all lit up
All the hippies hanging out by the street
And hobo park gives me the creeps
Cowboys doesn't really know country
But go to the Phantom when you get hungry

11th & Rockford

You wanna sell your soul to the devil?
He got a deal to make with you
You gotta head down to Tulsa, OK and get yourself a new tattoo
You didn't hear it from me
Rockford and 11th Street
I got my ink from a guy named Jimmy
Now I'm picking like the devil's in me
ohhh ohhh ohhh
Right there at the crossroad
He said, "I'm gonna take you"
I signed my name, now I'm doing my thing
Cause I told him to give me them blues
You didn't hear it from me
But Rockford and 11th Street
I got my ink from a guy named Jimmy
Now I'm picking like the devil's in me
ohhh ohhh ohhh

Neighbor In The City
02:40

There ain't nothing else to do, but listen to my neighbors yelling
Something about failing life and breaking almost everything
Don't you know someone's coming
Cause the cops are on the way
I ain't got no money, so I'm bunkered down here all day
Oh the apartment life
Where things don't change and you wonder why
Silence only comes at 2am
Now it's time to do it all over again
The people down stairs to the left
And the people down stairs to the right
The guy across the street, I swear, is getting drunk almost every night
The kids are all breaking down walls
Rent went up and I never got a call
The guy next door speaks Espanol and the guy by him is getting old
Some guy's lighting off fireworks
Now the dogs are barking, well, of course
Why is it illegal smoking weed?
Doesn't anybody know what happy means?

Don't Feel Blue
01:57
|

The #1 town in Texas has a city-wide case of the blues
Lubbock must be really down South, cause I don't mind you
This college town sounds country, and all the U-turns you can make
There ain't no other place I'd rather play today
Don't feel blue for being you
Luckenbach's got nothing on you
Willie, Waylon, even Willie Nelson say
God I love this tune
I don't mind coming by whenever I get the chance
I come from not far from here with a guitar in my hand
I don't think I'm country and this noise is all I make
There ain't no other place I'd rather play today

Hidden River Valley

Pass that turkey I need a drink
Got no chaser, here, let me see
Spiced picked egg juice is all I need
That's what it's like living in RV's
At Hidden River valley
They might come and talk to me
It's never too fun staying away
Singing Double Wide Blues and I Can't Complain
We're trailer park boys in the USA
Recluse Bob, man, he's on the job
Mustang buddies and getting drunk
Rob's got a dog and keeps bugging for drugs
And he walks around the whole damn lot
Al's playing poker, just don't sit by his shoulder
Saying, "Take my money, you goofy old man"
As the other guy folds, he'll say, "Say that again"
"I did not hear what you said"

Thanks For Coming
03:51

I don't think I belong in Orlando playing songs
There ain't nothing here for me
Gonna drive on by and say goodbye
With a finger pointing at the sign
It says, "Thanks for coming down, we're just too far south"
Where do you think everyone goes, when it gets too damn cold
Made my way to Atlanta, there's too many people there too
I'm checking both sides, gripping the wheel tight
Ho! Alabama, it's a little quieter there
No one's on I-22
Mississippi, Tennessee, I never noticed you
Arkansas only goes 1 way
And, man, it seems like it takes all day
And Oklahoma's driving really slow
Kansas has some cows and hills
When I'm back home I got time to kill
Cause it's easy out West if you ever need some weed
Utah, baby, I love you
You got that desert, but you suck with booze
So I loaded up before the ol' state line
So I drove on through the valley
Way up in Reno, sadly
But I saw the coast on my way to Humboldt County
