Good Ol' Boy
05:08

|

He was born near a casino
Las Vegas, Atlantic City or Reno
His mother was Filipino
And his father, he drove an El Camino
And they named him Steno
He was a Good Ol’ Boy
He didn’t mean no harm
He had a certain charm that you would enjoy
As he bloomed like a flower
He lived for love, wasn’t much of a scholar
He was a traveling man, with no direction
In search of affection -- On a quest for love you can’t outgrow
Steno, he was a Good Ol’ Boy
He didn’t mean no harm
He had a certain charm that you would enjoy
Steno, he was a Good Ol’ Boy
He didn’t mean no harm
He had a certain charm that you would enjoy
That you would enjoy

Lunch in Be
06:27
|
|

They say -- Tell me how you’re feeling now
But can these words -- Begin to describe me, how
How can what be said is true
If all I know I learned from you
And what you say is hearsay too
Well all I know is what I learned from you
But now you’re telling me the same thing too
If this is true what are we both supposed to do
Cause if all I know I learned from you, I haven’t got a clue
Recycled, reused, and renewed
Revised, refined, rinsed and repeated
Dumbed down, defiled and depleted
Broke down, bred for mass consumption
I think I’ll skip this luncheon

Know it All
03:21
|
|

I learned to walk before I learned to crawl
I’m bored of books; I’ve read ‘em all
My first words as I recall
When I grow up I’m going to know it all
When I grow up I’m going to know it all
I’ll be on the ball -- Once and for all
Two hundred and two is my I.Q.
I bet I’m smarter than you
Doctors say, since I’m only four
That when I grow up I’m gonna know even more
When I grow up I’m gonna know even more
Science claims they’ve never seen this before
Twenty years fly by as I blink my eyes
I never had to try
I wasn’t born just yesterday
But I’ve wasted all my smarts away

Wake and Jake
07:09
|
|
||
With morning on my window, the cars are in the street
I wake to greet the sun outside, heat beneath my feet
Birds and bees are working, all is in its place
Sun upon my back, rays against my face
Daily repetitions calling me to fall in line
But wanting more than anything, to make the most of time
Thinking fast, moving slow, and all of the above
But the simple fact of life remains
All you need is love
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Churches on the hillside, lines outside the gate
The hardest thing to figure out is who decides your fate
Who decides your fate
Who decides your fate
Who decides your fate
Who decides your fate
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything is glowing
Everything is growing
Will I emerge a better man, always never knowing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acting on a feeling and writing it all down
On a hill this place and time, a king without a crown
Wake and Jake
A king without a crown
All you need is love

Valley Girl
03:33
|
|
||
Oh boy you shoulda heard the way she talks about you
Turns out you’re not the type to be able to handle a
Valley Girl -- Come down on me
Sun’s about-a settin’ as you enter the valley now
With hip and lips like that you’re sure to raise-a-brow
Valley Girl -- Come down on me
Well peelin’ me off you would take a whole battalion
Ride off into the wind on a Norwegian Stallion
C’mon little mama, I’ll show you all I can
Be my Valley Girl and I’ll be your Mountain Man

I Wonder Why I Ponder
06:17
|
|

Red sunset over blue ridge mountains like a fountain of light pouring into night
Darkness falls and moonlight calls as the world is turning over
I lye and wonder why I ponder my true love wants me no longer
Absence makes the heart grow fonder or it may make one move onward
I often wonder why I ponder
I often wonder why I…
My head is spinning, full of being, stripped of meaning, my thoughts are fleeting
I’m wide awake yet almost dreaming -- As the world is turning over
I attempt to embrace this empty space… But much like space, it can’t be grasped
The feeling of nothing never lasts
So here I lye still soaked in wonder why my love has moven onward
Was it her or was it me -- Somethings are just not meant to be
I often wonder why I ponder
I often wonder why I ponder
As the world is turning over
I often wonder why I ponder
As the world is turning over
But the sun will still rise over blue ridge mountains
Like a fountain of light pouring into daylight
Washing away my thoughts of wonder
If today is going to be a good one
If today is going to be a good one
As the world is turning over
I often wonder why I ponder
If today is going to be a good one
As the world is turning over
I often wonder why I ponder

Excelsior

The space between what you see and what you’ve seen
A conscious stream of thought -- You’ll soon forget what you’ve forget
Attempts to grasp the moments past
They never last -- Nothing lasts
Ever upward, ever upward, forever growing, no signs of slowing
As we climb -- As we climb through time
The space between what you say and what you mean
Clarity of thought -- Can be learned but it can't be taught
Learn to live and live to learn
Ever upward -- No return
Ever upward, ever upward, ascending blind, as we climb
As we climb -- As we climb through time

Flutterby
09:13
|
|
||
At the start of this song
I’m just one inch long
Crawling along the ground
Nearly can’t be found
But then by the end
I will transcend
When I grow big and strong
I will leave this ground
As we flutterby
Like a butterfly
The knots of life untie
There they answers lie
Approach wisdom with wonder and ponder
All that I know is that I know nothing
A thought occurred to me
I know it sounds absurd
But what if man
Was conscious like I am
Would he stop to think
Would he want my wings
And then in the end
Will he still transcend
[Chorus]
