With his back against the San Francisco traffic,
On the bridges side that faces towards the jail,
Setting out to join a demographic,
He hoists his first leg up over the rail.
And a phone call is made,
Police cars show up quickly.
The sergeant slams his passenger door.
He says, “Hey son why don’t you talk through this with me,
Just tell me what you’re doing it for.”

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything,
It’s the mountains,
It’s the fog,
It’s the news at six o’clock,
It’s the death of my first dog,
It’s the angels up above me,
It’s the song that they don’t sing,
It’s a little bit of everything.”

An older man stands in a buffet line,
He is smiling and holding out his plate,
And the further he looks back into his timeline,
That hard road always had led him to today,
And making up for when his bright future had left him,
Making up for the fact that his only son is gone,
And letting everything out once, His server asks him,
Have you figured out yet, what it is you want?

I want a little bit of everything,
The biscuits and the beans,
Whatever helps me to forget about
The things that brought me to my knees,
So pile on those mashed potatoes,
And an extra chicken wing,
I’m having a little bit of everything.

Somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations,
To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall,
Her man says, “Baby, can I make an observation?
You don’t seem to be having any fun at all.”
She said, “You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt-size,
And rest assured that this is making me feel good,
I think that love is so much easier than you realize,
If you can give yourself to someone,
Then you should.

Cause it’s a little bit of everything,
The way you choke, the way you ache,
It is waking up before you,
So I can watch you as you wake.
So in the day in late September,
It’s not some stupid little ring,
I’m giving a little bit of everything.

Oh, it’s a little bit of everything,
It’s the matador and the bull,
It’s the suggested daily dosage,
It is the red moon when it’s full.
All these psychics and these doctors,
They’re all right and they’re all wrong,
It’s like trying to make out every word,
When they should simply hum along,
It’s not some message written in the dark,
Or some truth that no one’s seen,
It’s a little bit of everything.

I love this song! :)

Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow

Gonna rise up
Burning back holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold

Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
And suddenly swallowed by signs
Low and behold

Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Love is still the best state to live in.

The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines

Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay

The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart

Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do....
I'd rather live on a side of a mountain, than wonder through concrete and steel, I'd rather laugh with the rain and sunshine...

I am the shoreline, but you're the sea...

Another Dave Matthews song.
(The song that Jane Likes)

And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again

Would you like to play
With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage
While you lie around
With your hands up and out
So resigned you will fall down

While you around here play
Wild on the warm and far away
While you around here play
The days keep scribbling themselves
In tidy lines

Would you like to play
With a fool holding hands
With a one-eyed jack of spades

While on the deck they sing
All of the captain's cards are kings
Still he and the queen are lost at sea
I hope it isn't you and me

And I'll be back round again
Yes I'll walk in time with you old friend
And we'll find that place
That we had danced in so long ago

And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again
With this resigned
The letter I sign
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Love is still the best state to live in.

It's been a while since I put on a suit of my own clothes
And even longer since I cast my shadow on a church house door
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong
I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

I used to have a wad of hundred dollar bills in the back pocket of my suit
I had a .45 underneath my coat and another one in my boot
I drove a big ole Cadillac, bought a new one anytime I pleased
And I put more lawmen in the ground than Alabama put cottonseed

I spent a few years on vacation, sanctioned by the state I mentioned
But a man like me don't do no time too hard to come back from
The meanest of the mean, I see you lock away and toss the key
But they're all just loud mouth punks to me, I've scraped meaner off my shoe

Somewhere, I ain't saying, there's a hole that holds a judge
The last one that I dug myself
And I must admit I was sad to lay him in it, but I did the best I could
Once his Honor grows a conscience, well folks, that there just ain't no good

There's a pretty girl out there said "Daddy, you stay cool tonight
All I need from you is to come home and be here by my side
Say what you gotta say to shut their Bibles and their mouths
If they was to tie a noose, they'd have to lay their Bibles down"

I ain't here to save no souls and even if I could
I could never save enough to put back half the ones I took
So if they rest in torment you can't say it's cause of me
They'd long been bought and paid for like that fool's in Tennessee
I'd rather live on a side of a mountain, than wonder through concrete and steel, I'd rather laugh with the rain and sunshine...

I am the shoreline, but you're the sea...

hold the presses mickey,hot news on the wire!
hundreds see an image of a guiness drinking choir.
celebrities and cameras are headed to the scene,
while president are fleeing in their speeding limousines..

don't worry, it's just stigmata. pass me a napkin and don't you dare tell my mother

your local programming interrupted, by the mindless banter of a soulless talking head
roll out the red carpet, a dripping bloody tongue
pay no mind to blue berets and all their shining guns

don't worry, it's just stigmata. pass me a napkin & don't you dare tell my mother
don't worry,it's just stigmata. pass me a napkin &don't you dare tell my mother

who you gonna call when the man brings his hammer down?
goose-stepping with a smoking, irish fly.

and when the world is over, children by the fire
raise their hands and pray that they may see the new messiah
then somewhere in the darkness a flag goes running by
the smell of cigarettes and love are incense for the fly

"Heartache to heartache
don't let it break so fast
think about all you have
And let it last
I can't take no more teardrops from you
but that don't give you no right to shout "

"Judge yourself if you feel the need
Just let me known to be
In search of the truth myself
There is a drop of blood on the ground
And it seems to me that it's not my kind
And I can't be sure if its yours or mine."

This is a good song for a Sunday morning. :)

Steady as we go

I walk half way around the world,
Just to sit down by your side.
And I would do most anything girl,
To be the apple of your eye.

Troubles they may come and go,
But good times they are the gold.
And if this road gets rocky girl,
Just steady as we go.

Any place you wanna go,
Know I'll be next to you.
If it's treasure baby you're looking for,
I'll search the whole world through.

Know troubles they may come and go,
But good times they're the gold.
So if the road gets rocky girl,
Just steady as we go.

When the storm comes,
You shelter me.
And I don't say a word,
And you know exactly what I mean.
In the darkest times,
You shine on me.
You set me free.
And keep me steady as we go.

So if your heart rings dry my love,
I will fill your cup.
And if your load gets heavy girl,
I will lift you up.

Troubles they may come and go,
But good times be the gold.
So if this road gets rocky girl,
Just steady as we go.

Ah
Hold me,
Shine on me.
Oh, shine, shine,
Shine on me.
Shine, shine
Yeah shine on me.
Hey shine.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Love is still the best state to live in.

Moon beams we can dream on, at the setting of the sun
And the stars we can wish upon, when the working man is done
Sunsets we could cry over, have our trouble's on the run
But more than these miracles above, good people, we need love

Everybody needs the love, love, love
Everybody needs the love, love, love
Everybody needs the love, love, love

Just like they need the sun and moon and stars up above.
And nobody ever found happiness, living their life all alone
I used to walk around like I didn't need nobody, to keep me happy and alone
And one fine day I found myself in trouble, way down without a friend
Along came the love of a real fine woman, said she'd love me 'til the end ......

Everybody needs the love, love, love
Everybody needs the love, love, love
Everybody needs the love, love, love, ....
I'd rather live on a side of a mountain, than wonder through concrete and steel, I'd rather laugh with the rain and sunshine...

I am the shoreline, but you're the sea...

Darkness, Darkness
Be my pillow
Take my head
And let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep

Darkness, Darkness
Hide my yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see

Darkness, darkness,
Long and lonesome,
Ease the day that brings me pain.
I have felt the edge of sadness,
I have known the depth of fear.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing,
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now, now, now
Emptiness of ri-ight now.

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence, the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now now now
Emptiness of right....
Oh yeah Oh yeah
Emptiness, emptiness
Oh yeah

Carry me away
I know your angel eyes
Can see through me
Carry me away
Far away from the love you give
So generously, so generously.
Woman oh! Oh!


I've got a burning heart
I need to tell you
That it's you I love
I got a burning heart
I need to tell you that
I never get enough
Never, never, never
Never get enough.
Woman oh! Oh!


Marry me today
I'll give you all I own
Except my car ...
Marry me today baby
I'll give you everything
But my guitar
But my guitar and my car ...
Woman oh! Oh!


Let me hold your tongue
For I know you'll understand
The way I feel,
Baby I know you'll understand
That all I want to do
Is take your hand
I don't mean to do no harm Baby
I just want to be your man
Oh! I just want to be your man Baby


Hey I want to be, I want to be,
Hey, woman I'll be your man
Woman, I'll be your man ....
I'd rather live on a side of a mountain, than wonder through concrete and steel, I'd rather laugh with the rain and sunshine...

I just wrote out the lyrics to this new Brad song because I was listening to it. :)

Needle and thread lyrics-->

Well it's moments like this,
when there's no one around
it's moments like this
when I can hear the sound
of my own heart beatin'
yeah, it's mighty loud
it makes me want to stand up
and shout out loud
I don't wanna be hangin' by a needle and thread
by the word left unsaid,
by the sound in my head
I wanna be livin' like I'm caught on a wave
like the love that we gave
like the songs that we've made

In the beginning was the heartache
in the end was the way
the only way to freedom that I heard you say
and I'm feeling like a big man
standin' real proud
make me wanna stand up
and shout it out loud:
I don't wanna be hangin' by a needle and thread
by the word left unsaid
by the sound in my head
I wanna be livin' like I'm caught on a wave
like the love that we gave
like the songs that we've made
da da daa da ne na
da da daa da ne na
da da daa de duh da
nah ne nah ne nah ne

I don't wanna be hangin'
by a needle and thread
by the word left unsaid
by the sound in my head
I wanna be livin' like I'm caught on a wave
like the love that we gave
like the songs that we've made
da da daa da ne na
da da daa da ne na
da da daa de duha dah
nah ne nah ne nah ne
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Love is still the best state to live in.
