Your my sweet talking baby bee, come with me behind the tree. thats the only place where I feel free. My sweet talking baby bee.
Your my true love hurricane, I never knew you by your real name. We stay up and make love all night. My true love love hurricane.
Your the sun and the moon at night, the wind that blows between the light. You've been gone for three long years and I wish you were here with me.
I visit you on sundays and I put down flowers where you lay, I see your folks every once and a while. Im waiting patiently.
I have someone to love again, she was one of your good friends. I love her and she loves me, my sweet talking baby bee.
We got to kids a boy and a girl, his names Jake and her names Pearl. Isnt life a precious thing, thats what you use to say to me.
Its been awhile since we spoke and for you Ill roll this smoke, I think of you as part of me, my sweet talking baby bee.

I've been going to church again, not sure why I do? Maybe Im trying to be more like you dad.
I still go out surfing, like you taught me to, and every time I think of you dad.
Im getting older and so are you. I just wanted to say I love you. All of those things you do for mom. I believe in love because of you.
Mom is always there for me to cry to. Yea Im a man and I cry so what? I've stopped trying to be so tough all the time.
And all this guitar that Im playing, was passed straight down from you, so Ill sing this song for you dad.
Im getting older and so are you. I just wanted to say I love you. All of those things you do for mom. I believe in love because of you.

Hey there friend whats your name? All I want to do is thank you, for being there when I was drunk, I almost walked in front of that bus.
In the street I lost my shit, yelling about all kinds of shit, you see life is full of shit, thats what got me stuck on it.
Anyways Im sorry dude for getting barf all on your shoes, making your girlfriend drive me home. She seemed pretty mad sorry bro.
Its kinda your fault, when you gave me that weed, I smoked that niug I started spinning.
You know how it is when you've gone way to big you've got to sit down, drink some water but I never had that chance cause I was dancing, dancing, thinking I was Hansen. Really just an asshole, a whisky drinking rascal.
Now Im stuck in Jail and Im writing you for bail, I don't expect your kindness sir, and its not what I deserve. If you help me out I wont be an asshole no more.

Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet soft and low
When I'm broken I got nowhere to go
Been hangin' around with a good time friends of mine
Hangin' around with a good time friends of mine
Oh, they treat me very nice and kind
When I've got a dollar and a dime
We're in blues everywhere I see
We're in blues everywhere I see
We're in blues, honey everywhere I see
No one ever had the blues like me
Way I'm sleepin' my back and shoulders tired
Way I'm sleepin' my back and shoulders tired
Come tomorrow, I'll be satisfied
If I can catch that fast train and ride
So, make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet soft and low
Babe, I'm broken, I've got nowhere to go

Oh your taking me, your taking me, taking me to the grave.
Take a drag, take a drag, take a drag, one more time.
Oh your giving me, your giving me, your giving me what I need.
And for now Im alive, Im alive, Im alive.
And hell is everyday. And it wont go away. Lord I need a little strength. I aint trying to save no face.
Well the reaper has a third hand and he gave it to me.
Oh the devil's got some fine print between the lines.
Well Im headed to the corner store to pick up my contract.
But for now Im alive, Im alive, Im alive. And hell is everyday. And it wont go away. Lord I need a little strength. I aint trying to save no face.

Once Again
04:11

This aint the first time, wont be the last. When I fall short again. Of who I am suppose to be. What the fuck does that mean, anyway....
And it seems that life is just a mix of all the shit that we put ourselves through.
And I don't need to legitimize this broken-ness when I am feeling blue.
or if its good enough for you.
This aint the reason, this aint the time. To give me your advice. Im to tired to try again. I just need a good friend and not a fight.
But the loneliness that comes and goes the bitterness of love stings like a rose.
And its way to late to shut it down but theres just enough to drink right now.
To forget about it anyhow.
Some are waiting, for something good. Some are dancing in the mess. I am stuck, between the two in search of truth and loosing time.
And God give me the strength to know, that all this pain is part of letting go.
And when the bottom finally gives away to something greater than Ill show, but it stings just like a rose.

The Stick Song
00:52

Theres a stick in my shoe, and theres not much that I can do, so I just pull it out.
I threw the stick to my dog, he went running into the fog, and he put it in his mouth.
Theres a fly in the air and it seems to be everywhere so I just block it out. Life is like that little fly you buzz around until you die. Aint worth figuring out. It aint worth figuring out.

Im happy when Im in the ocean, Im happy when I play guitar. Im happy when I got a friend, are you happy where you are?
Well I've done a lot of fucked up things and I've scarred to many hearts.
And if I've ever wronged you, I hope your happy where you are.
Oh brother, oh mother, oh sister I wish the best for you.
Oh father, oh neighbor, oh stranger I hope life is good to you.
Well I try to smile in the morning, most times I dont feel like it.
For all those things I said, for all those things I did.
I could wallow in self pity, I could tell you what was wrong, but I've done that for to long. God damn I'm moving on.
Oh brother, oh mother, oh sister I wish the best for you.
Oh father, oh neighbor, oh stranger, I hope life is good to you.
Well lets go find some waves, and lets go drink some beer.
Lets go roll one up, my friend its a brand new year. Lets forgive our past and make room for something new, and if your still bummed out, I got some news for you...
Oh brother, oh mother, oh sister I wish the best for you.
Oh father, oh neighbor, oh stranger I hope life is good to you.

Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
I guess I keep on gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
One-time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa
He beat her with a belt once cause she cried
She told him to take care of me, she headed down to Tennessee
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
I came of age and found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
The posse caught up with me, drug me back to Muskogee
It's two long years, just a-waitin' 'round to die
Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie
His name's codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die

Holding on with two hands, and two hearts. Im with you but I love another.
Im sorry babe, I didn't want it to be this way. Walking away for another.
But I guess its time to go. Cause my hearts beating slowly away. Away from you babe.
And If I let you go, theres something you should know. Im just a man, mostly broken. Well thats no excuse, for doing this to you my dear. Im drifting away.

Theres nothing like the day after a long night of drinking.
Wake up to the sound of your own God Damn head.
Theres a girl next to you, lord what were you thinking.
Seems like the drinking, did the thinking instead.
Well I crawled out of the sheets, and I went to the kitchen.
I made us a fixing of eggs and dark roast.
When she came out to eat she said she was a vegan.
So I ate all of the eggs and I gave her my toast.
She Said what do you do when your not playing music?
Do you got a job and what was your name?
I said that don't matter its life that Im after.
So if your names Teresa, well than my names John Wayne.
Well she laughed at my jokes and said I was corn-E.
She had a nice smile but rather large hands.
She said I was great one hell of a date, but is this the first time you ever been with a man?
