Track Name: Old Black Crow
See an old black crow, oh he's sittin in a tree
I'm a lookin at him, he's a lookin at me
We're both a prayin for sun, we're both a dreadin that rain
Both a waitin on the whistle... from the evenin train
And he's an old black crow

I see an old black crow, settlin on down
Got a shady little spot, outside of town
Well he's a kickin on back, oh he's a easin on in
Got his own little shack, got his own little sin

We both got a bone.....to pick
We both got fat....to chew
We bot got time....to kill
We both got things....to do

Well he's a floatin around, above the top of the trees
Well he's a keepin it lean, he's a keepin it light
He's a livin his dream, he's a dreamin his life

We both got a bone....to pick
We both got fat....to chew
We both got time...to kill
We both got things...to do
Things to do
Old black crow....sittin in a tree.....mmmmmm
Track Name: Sacred Tea
Now I quit this gypsy life
Through the foreign streets and the foreign towns
And away from the smell of leaf mold and mint
Now I return to my birthright
For there my spirit is refreshed
And the depth of my inheritance
Made manifest........made manifest
I am living flesh that breathes
Make my cup of sacred tea from roots in the hills of Tennessee

I am living flesh that breathes
Now I set my spirit free to fly up above the trees

Leavin here has left a wound
That only time and place can heal
So I lie beneath this canopy of translucent green

Now I release my innate soul
To seek it's comfort and to drink it's fill
And return like some old cat
To lie upon me.......upon me
I am living flesh that breathes
Make my cup of sacred tea from roots in the hills of Tennessee

Oh I am living flesh that breathes
Now I set my spirit free, to fly up above the trees

I keep simple company now
An ol gray cat and a yellow dog
And sometimes we stop and we take a drink
From the spring beneath the hill

Below that old gray barn that leans
Against a day that's yet to come
Well I hoped I'd never see that day
But I guess I will........I guess I will

Oh I am living flesh that breathes
Make my cup of sacred tea from roots in the hills of Tennessee

Oh I am living flesh that breathes
Now I set my spirit free
To fly up above the trees
To fly up above the trees
........up above the trees
........up above the trees
Track Name: Hop On My Pony
This old world aint gone but she's on the brink
I got a heart like a stone, just won't sink
I got a bird in my hand but when she don't fly
I'm gonna hop on my pony and ride

This old wind that's a blowin in my face
Just a little bit dirty for my personal taste
But when the moon and the stars don't rise and shine
I'm gonna hop on my pony and ride

If my grandaddy stood up outta his grave
And took a look around at the mess we made
There ain't no doubt in my mind
He'd wanna hop on my pony and ride

He had a mule in the barn but the barn's tore down
Spring's done buried neath a brand new house
But when they're standin in a row side by side
He'd wanna hop on my pony and ride

When there ain't no room to dance
And there ain't no place to hide
Gonna hop on my pony "n" I'm a gonna ride

I had a fishin hole at the bend of the creek
Sucker musta been about six foot deep
But when the floater don't float and the fish don't fry
I'm gonna hop on my pony and ride

It's been a year and a half since the creek's gone dry
But the coon's are stubborn and they just won't die
So I guess I'll have to give it just one more try
Before I hop on my pony and ride

And when there ain't no room to dance
And there ain't no place to hide
Gonna hop on my pony "n" I'm a gonna ride
Gonna hop on my pony "n" I'm a gonna ride
Track Name: Shade Of The Evening
I do not worship at the temple steps
Of your dominant culture
Lose my sleep due to restlessness
From seeking your favor

I do not worship the supple youth
Of the new generation
Nor make excuse for these many years
Nor this rhythm of creation

Oh I come from a time when the light dripped through leaves
And gathered in pools at the bend of the creek
Old men sat on the front porch all day dreamin
And people stopped to visit in the shade of the evenin

I do not worship the latest words
That you've put into the mouth of God
Not one has caused my heart to stir
Not one has caused my head to nod

I do not worship the latest curves
Of you're automobiles design
Nor count my days with you're calenders
But by revolution of stone and light

I come from a time when the light dripped through leaves
And gathered in pools at the bend of the creek
Old men sat on the front porch all day dreamin
And people stopped to visit in the shade of the evenin

In the shade of the evenin
In the shade of the evenin........mmmmm
Track Name: Everybody Loves Their Life
Everybody loves their life
Everybody loves their life
Everybody loves their life
Everybody, everybody loves their life
Everybody loves their life

Everybody loves their life
Everybody loves their life
Every father, every mother
Every sister, every brother loves their life
Everybody loves their life

Everybody loves their life
Everybody loves their life
Every person, every creature
Every sleeper, every dreamer loves their life
Everybody loves their life

Everybody use your life
Everybody use your life
Everybody use your life
Everybody, everybody use your life
Everybody use your life

Precious life..........Magic life
Precious life..........Magic life
Track Name: Sympathy
There's gotta be a million things I know
Keep me spinnin like an old whirlwind
Thing to do, place to go
And then I go and do it all again
But God knows that I'm a lucky man
I've been given all the things I need
Healin heart, helpin hand
And the power... to have a little sympathy
I'm not talkin bout the weepy kind
Well I'm talkin bout real sympathy
That's understandin enough to care
Enough to care

Remember lookin in my old mans eyes
I remember how it made me feel
Like I was lookin straight back through time
Back to when he was a young man still
But now he's sittin on the edge of this bed
An old man that can hardly breath
Somethin bout the way he hangs his head
Is bringin out in me..... real sympathy

I'm not talkin bout a mystery
Well I'm talkin bout real sympathy
That's understandin enough to care

I think that every single living thing
It has a simple will to live
I think the future has a will to bring
I think the planet has a will to give
I know that deep down inside our hearts
There's a light that can help us see
But if we ever want to see that light
We got to learn....... to have a little sympathy

I'm not talkin bout a mystery
Well I'm talkin bout real sympathy
That's understandin enough to care
Enough to care
Have a little sympathy......mmmmmm
Track Name: Journey Toward My Soul
Whoa hard times done come and gone
Don't mean I'm gonna sing no hard time song
Gonna take my chances, gonna roll the dice
Learn my lessons and I won't think twice
And I won't be afraid of growin old
I'm on a journey, I'm on a journey toward my soul

I'm gonna help my neighbor, gonna love my friends
Gonna wake up in the mornin with a wicked grin
I'm gonna learn the faith of another land
I'm gonna hold the smallest creatures in my hand
And I won't be afraid of growin old
I'm on a journey, I'm on a journey toward my soul

That journey toward your soul
Is like an old familiar dream that you know you've had
You got flesh and bone and a name to boot
Then It's gone and it really ain't so bad
And I won't be afraid of growin old
I'm on a journey, I'm on a journey toward my soul

I got a healin heart and a helpin hand
I got a mind I hope's gonna help me to understand
Gonna punch my ticket on the glory train
I'm gonna kiss the sky, I'm gonna drink the pourin rain
And I won't be afraid of growin old
I'm on a journey, I'm on a journey toward my soul

That journey toward your soul
Is like and old familiar dream that you know you've had
You got flesh and bone and a name to boot
Then it's gone and it really ain't so bad
Whoa I won't be afraid of growin old
I'm on a journey, I'm on a journey toward my soul
Whoa don't be afraid of growin old
You're on a journey, you're on a journey toward your soul
Track Name: Dog That Eats The Blues
I'm not for certain but I think I might
Appear to some to be a miserable sight
I've not took a bath or combed my hair in days
And all the things that I love to do
Musta hit the road and took my shoes
Cause I can't find them either in all this haze

I know it's not necessarily bad
To occasionally feel particularly sad
I know you can't have the ups without the downs
But I don't think it's askin much
Just to wanna feel like breathin'
Or just to wanna feel like hangin round

I got my window standin open
Oh but I can't see no light shinnin through
And if the blues is just your feelins lyin broken
Then depression's just an old dog that eats the blues

So it's been a week since I left my home
Or washed my dishes or answered my phone
Hell it's even been a week since I've even been outta bed
They say the blues is a terrible thing
But at least it leaves you with the will to sing
And it's the will that's distinctly missin in my head

I got my window standin open
Oh but I can't see no light shinnin through
And if the blues is just your feelins lyin broken
Then depression's just an old dog that eats the blues
And if the blues is just your feelins lyin broken
Then depression's just an old dog that eats the blues
Track Name: Genghis Khan & Gunga Din
Jesus Christ He was a patient man
Loved his people and He loved his land
So He spoke his mind and He never ran
When the soldiers came to call
They stripped Him naked and they whipped Him good
But He stood for the things that He said He would
Taught us all the power of love as He hung there on that cross

Just another little piece of the story that they never told Sometimes you gotta hurt the body just to heal the soul

Buddha left home in the dark of night
Left His family and His beautiful wife
Chose the wanderin beggar's life
In the dust and the burnin sun
He wasn't concerned with original sin
Just did without while He looked within
And He saw that it all goes around again
And He found that we're all just one

Just another little piece of the story that they never told Sometimes you gotta hurt the body just to heal the soul

Ghengis Khan and Gunga Din
Rode all night in the howlin wind
Missin their home and they're missin their kin
And the good times they both had
They stopped at dawn on that bitter plain
And they shared a smoke and a good strong drink
Then they rode off laughin in the pourin rain
And things didn't seem so bad

Just another little piece of the story that they never told Sometimes you gotta hurt the body just to heal the soul
Track Name: Good Life
Small farm, rough land, hard work, strong hand
Early mornin, rooster crow, good life, God knows

Streaked meat, fryin pan, homemade biscuit, in my hand
Work's a waitin, gotta go, good life, God knows

Simple things...that I remember well
That I still tell, I still tell, I still tell

Front porch, chicken scratch, sharpen hoe, achin back
Soakin rain, garden grow, good life, God knows

Worn path, down the hill, cold spring, bucket fill
Mockin' bird, breeze blow, good life, God knows

Simple things....that I remember well
That I still tell, I still tell, I still tell

Christmas time, old cedar tree,
great big orange, just for me
Granny grinnin, in her new robe, good life, God knows

Papaw kneelin, there I stand, shinny nicklel, in his hand
Great big heart, over flows, good life, God knows

Simple things..... that I remember well
That I still tell, I still tell, I still tell, I still tell Simple things,
I remember well
That I still tell, I still tell, I still tell
