Flip a coin, oh, heads up or tails? Either way, I just might fail I see that dead end coming up ahead, Maybe I better just stay in bed... I must have been in such a rut, Oh, whatever it was, I spilled my guts to her She didn't have a word for me, Well, that's just the story of my life. I got a few more chapters left to write Before I can go and call it a night I'm sitting here wondering who's gonna break my heart tonight I won't go down, not without a fight If I see you in the middle of that great big wide, ocean blue You know I'll begin the motions to swim my way back to you You and me, we can go up to the treetops of my mind You know I'll leave the ladder down If you wanna climb on up next time. I got a few more chapters left to write Before I can go and call it a night I'm sitting here wondering who's gonna break my heart tonight Day after day, time after time. Day after day, time after time Day after day, time after time Oh I'm sitting here wondering who's gonna break my heart tonight Well, I won't go down, not without a fight Oh I'm sitting here wondering who's gonna break my heart tonight Well, I won't go down, not without a fight Oh well I won't go down, not without a fight.

Pack some smokes, I'll pack some jokes I'll pack me something that'll get me along That road, that road, Ooh that jealous road How'd I go so long? Yahoo! Well, never have I ever seen her favorite eastern skies Never have I ever been to the other side Never have I ever seen her favorite eastern skies Never have I ever been to the other side Take a sip, take a rip Stay if you like, it ain't no crime Don't even trip, mama, or leave a quip About how you just ain't got the time Yahoo! Well, never have I ever seen her favorite eastern skies Never have I ever been to the other side Never have I ever seen her favorite eastern skies Never have I ever been to the other side Well, never have I ever seen her favorite eastern skies Never have I ever been to the other side

I've done some things I'm not exactly proud of I'm still learning 'bout this thing called love Scaled up to nothing but chalk in the rain Finding out there's more than just my name As I grow a little older I find a grow a little bolder I found the guts, I finally told her But I ain't the one who gets to hold her. Passing distraction was my great attraction, I know Pour me a bullet, straight down my gullet it goes. Raise your glass, let's make a toast To all the ghosts we've ever known As I grow a little older I find I grow a little bolder I found the guts, I finally told her But I ain't the one who gets to hold her As I grow a little older I find I grow a little bolder I found the guts, I finally told her But I ain't the one (No, you ain't the one) who gets to hold her (Who gets to hold me) No, it ain't my arm (No , it ain't your arm) Around her shoulder (It never will be)

Ohh, da da do It started out when I was a kid Never paid attention to the mess I hid Things won't be the same, I know a change gonna come I know the flow don't go like it used to But I refuse to lose to the change in current Oh, watch out for that torrent The angels came and gave me my name They said let's go outside we're playing your favorite game, Red Rover Calling Bossman over (Bossman Nova) Honestly, if it were up to me, I'd rather stay inside, let me hide, Let me live my life...Let me off this ride!

Autopilot 04:28
It's too early Feel the sunshine on your face And everything is in its place today There's a cloud above your head And I've been known to stay in bed Too long. Keep this melody with you and forget all the things you're supposed to do; Sometimes the only way to keep on living is to let life live for you. These days, these days Are ones that I won't miss I'm safe, I'm safe In this early morning bliss Wipe the sleep from your eyes Or don't The day is yours to decide Walk with me in my stride I hope my eyes Up in the sky Won't make us slow Do you take your tea with cream? I don't imagine so, but here you go - I have it if you like. Sit here and sip it slow Take a moment, don't you know; It's easy. These days, these days... These days, these days Are ones that I won't miss I'll fake, I'll fake I'm not tired even though you see right through this These days, These days are ones that I won't miss I'm safe, I'm safe in this early Morning bliss It's too early.

about

American Trashbird Monterey, California

American Trashbird is an arrangement of familiar faces in the Monterey, California music scene. The music is pure and understated; somewhere between the quaint seaside villas and the middle-American ghost town dive bars. Recycling forgotten refuse from the bins of blues rock, the richness of roots music, and some liberties with Latin beats. ... more
