DON’T COME RUNNING HOME VERSE I You knew it’s only a matter of time, (10) Before I’d find out about you. (8) You said you were going out for fresh milk (10) I know what that’s code for you shrew (8) “I’ll be out for a while, but not with you” (10) One can imagine what you’ll do (8) But what you need to remember this time. (10) REFRAIN You won’t be coming back to me, oh, no, (10) Screw you, don’t you come running home. (8) VERSE II You’ll tell me you ran into an old friend (10) Yeah right, ran into an old friend (8) So just swap out those nouns, verbs and some tense (10) Pretty sure I’ll fill out the rest (8) But what you need to remember this time. (10)� REFRAIN You won’t be coming back to me, oh, no, (10) Screw you, don’t you come running home.

Lost Time 03:30
LOST TIME The sin of your blood But not the burden of your name You kept your secret I floated in the shadow of your shame The weight of your absence A mere bill you had to pay You kept your distance My insecurities forever on display A classic prescription to fit the description The shape of your denial The safe place of your lies You maintained your front I sailed by in the obscurity of your pride Four decades of lost time A lifetime of lost time

You’ll never see me on a Harley No, me feet won’t touch the ground. Never rode across the desert Or blasted boldly through my town. Never sat tall in the saddle, Never took an axe to a tree Never forged currents with a paddle Nor built a castle for m’ family. Chorus Well, I ain’t got no horse or no motorbike Ain’t got no handle like Rip or Spike I’ll never be no stud like on TV ‘Cause all I want is my son to be free No, I’ll never be no man like on TV ‘Cause I just want my son to live free. Never built a bridge at my work Never built a tower to last all time Never had no heavy tool belt Never done no hard time. Never had a pick-up built for hauling Never drove a semi all night long Never once played on a rock group Never wrote a decent song Bridge These figures they loom large. They cast a shadow tall. Who are these manly men, Who make me feel so small? The puppet-masters control Every image that I see Their ads are everywhere They overwhelm and swallow me. Never been drafted for no army Never shot an arrow or a gun Never hit a person with my hand My impulse is just to run. Never seen a war that worth warrin’ Never seen a fight without a loss Never seen a war that had winner Never a cause to justify that cost

about

In a bizarre time when we can't be physically close to each other and it feels like the world is on fire, I wanted to connect in a different way. I thought it would fun to make music to other peoples writings. Here is whats come of it. Enjoy.

Be smart, stay safe and please reach out to someone if you're struggling, now or at anytime, you and your feelings are valid. <3

Please make sure to click on the songs to read up on the folks who participated in this, some have links you should check out. This project would not exist without you, Thank you.
