I got west of Columbus Standin' in a sweet summer rain. Brushed the dust off my window, Smiled in the sunshine once again. Chorus: Sometimes people get tough. You fell like you'll never win. Sometimes I get led astray. And Lord, Here you come again. I got west of Columbus Then I started to have my fun. Somewhere out cross Indiana Like Orion, Chasin' the setting sun. Chorus And somewhere down near Tupelo With the right kind of music in the air. Way up on a hillside by Life Watching the sun set right there. Chorus I got west of Columbus Left that life when I did. Now I got a fire in my belly And Lord, Here you come again.

Roll Me One 04:29
Janey found my keys, Headed straight for the door Shoutin' revelries, Like so many times before Maybe sometimes, I tend to walk away Lone by myself, Skating from day to day Chorus: Roll me one when you get to it This little boy's gonna have his fun Roll me one when you get to it This old man, This old man's, Gettin' on And Bobbie fell apart, Every time I said her name Never broke my heart, Just how she played her game Sittin' smokey still, Pushing at everthing Out in the sunshine, that little girl made me want to sing Chorus And Suzie'd take control, Smile in the face of all Always shootin' full, And drinking alchohol Dark and dreamy, I'd take it all inside Same old story, Little boy run and hide Chorus And Janey stole my car, That little girl never made it far.

I got drunk on whiskey, When I should have been drinking wine. Been whistling Dixie, For seems like a long, long time. And I ain't never had no problem, Kickin' back and feeling kind. I've seen a million miles, Roll right by my side. Struggled and Stricken, Blinded by headlights. But I ain't never had no problem, Kickin' back and feeling kind. Bridge: Somewhere back from Boston, I lost my sense of right. And way, way out in Texas, I got in a big ol' fight. I called my lady, Said "Hey Baby" Baby I'm coming home. I got drunk on whiskey, When I should have been drinking wine. Been whistling Dixie, For seems like a long. long time. And I ain't never had no problem, Kickin' back and feeling kind. I got dug in a snowstorm, When I slid down a mountainside. Branded an outlaw, Had to run and hide. But I stil don't have no problem, Kickin' back and feeling kind.

Alone 04:53
Come on, Meet me by the river You know you'll get your love right there Maybe some summer breeze, Will blow around all your beautiful hair Oh, That would make it right and fine Oh, We're gonna make it work this time. Chorus: I sing a song about the moonlight, And I cry all night just the same. I sing a song about maybe holding hands, Just walkin' and a talkin' how sometimes, I look in your eyes and the smoke rolls by, I wake up alone. About this time last Thursday morning bring you flowers You know you got your love right there Its like waking up every morning, With the sunshine on your hair Oh, oh yeah I loved you Even when the nigh time got through Oh, oh yeah, You were my thrill again Chorus I'll play my music all day long and can Then I'll run to you when the night gets through Just dancin', dancin' and holding hands We're gonna breathe, and paint the nigh time blue. Chorus

So So Slow 03:54
A misty morning waking up,she said, I was feeling fine The sunlight crept on the window pane, I tried to, unwind my mind There was snow on the cedar boughs that morning, and I felt it was time To finally lose all self control, This time really unwind. There've been times like these before, When you taste your own life in the wind. There been times when you mistook lovin' For just holding hands Chorus: Come out dancing Gonna put that right dress on I'll lay down the music, So so slow, I'll make it so Come out dancing Gonna wait for that precious little moment, When I lay you down, So so Slow It was the other morning waking up, I wrapped you up my love girl Whispered sweet in your ear, to me you mean the world Maybe someday when we are as one. Maybe someday this game 'll be won There've been times like these before Always reaching out for something you can't catch, There've been times when I mistook loving, For just holding hands Chorus

Angel Band 02:56
My latest sun is sinking fast, My race is nearly run; My strongest trials now are past, My triumph is begun. * Refrain: Oh, come, angel band, Come and around me stand; Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings To my eternal home; Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings To my eternal home. I know I’m near the holy ranks Of friends and kindred dear— I hear the waves on Jordan’s banks, The crossing must be near. Oh, bear my longing heart to Him, Who bled and died for me; Whose blood now cleanses from all sin, And gives me victory.

My Momma always told me, Go find yourself a lady, A special someone, young and brave. But I'm here with you. And that's why I am so blue. 'Cause tonight in my arms will be you. I've tried to leave you, But you would not let me go. I'd try to kill you, but the lawman would know. And so I am with you. And I'll be singing out the blues. 'Cause tonight in my arms will be you. Oh throw me some mercy Lord. Rain it down on me. Your child needs some saving, Oh please set him free. Lord she's still with me. And that's why I sing these blues. 'Cause tonight in my arms will be you. I'm sorry Momma I should have paid heed. and looked for a woman, without hatred or greed. But she's still here with me. That's why I'm so blue. 'Cause tonight in my arms will be you.

My Love 03:02
I told you this time, It would take all night, Just to hold you close and make everything alright. Come take me by the hand, Soon we'll both understand, Just how we can be, Lovin' hand in hand. Chorus: I'll give you my love, Lay back and take it! We'll make a boom boom sound all night. I'll give you my love, Let's see if we can break it! Mmmmmmmhhhh, Hold me tight. When the sun goes down, We'll start our lovin' sound, Lay right down and we'll take our own sweet time. You be so silky smooth, I'll bring all my groove, A ball entangled, A freaky, freaky night. Chorus Come get close dear, Make it the most dear, Stay and await the morning to arrive. We'll turn this moaning sound, Into a singing sound, Right and graceful, and oh so full of life. Chorus

So Beautiful 04:13
You sat in the corner kinda mocking me, You dared me to say my name. I moved so I could see you, Of I wanted to play your game. And I said, Chorus: Don't sit there looking so beautiful Please don't waste my time Cause you sure know how to look beautiful I think I might just lose my mind. Girl, everytime you walk by, There's a sweetness in the air. I just want to wrap my arms around you, I just want to be right there. Chorus Oh,Oh come on close I just want to feel you near. Sometimes I yearn for you, To be layin' right here Chorus A slow, slow dance in the moonlight. Maybe a Kiss or two. I'll make you mine and it'll be so fine. Maybe a Kiss or two.

about

A product of the RPM Challenge. This album was written and recorded during the month of February in the year 2009. I recorded all tracks at my home in Upstate New York in on mad frenzy of a recording marathon. These recordings were made on Acoustica Mixcraft 4, with a Tascam mixer and Shure SM58 microphones. Played on my Father's vintage Gibson J-50 and a Micheal Kelly Mandolin given to me by one of my best friends. Written mostly on the road in towns like Columbus, Cincinnati, New Paltz, St. Louis and Nashville. I express great regards and thanks to the people who opened their homes and hearts to me on my journey. And of course, Sal Paradise, just one of my wonderful traveling companions.
