At Target

While standing in line at the technology counter at Target today I noticed a sign posted on the register. The sign read, "please make all alcoholic purchases in the front." As I was being waited on, a man got in line behind me with a 12 pack of root beer and a box donuts. I looked back at him, and upon making eye contact, pointed at the sign. He looked at the sign, and then back at me. The expression on his face: blank, absent of all emotion. In effort to redeem myself I told him it was a joke, and began to try and explain it when he interrupted, “You must be from Utah.”

Thank you Root Beer man.

To Make a Turn

You caught,
The Devils cold,
And the train leaves in the morning.
His had looks like pure gold,
Got ya climbing out your wondow.

If reason, can't keep you here,
And you've got to keep moving,
The city, will miss you dear,
But it holds nothing for ya,
You said, it holds nothing for ya.

You say that love,
Has turned you bold.
And the Silence, even louder.
Dreamin's got you fooled,
And lifes become a jailhouse.

If reason, can't keep you here,
And you've got to keep moving,
The city, will miss you dear,
But it holds nothing for ya,
You said, it holds nothing for ya.

What do you want?
A new situation,
A new start?

Life will leave you old,
That is for certain.
And that's why you heading out of town.

Familiar and Blue

I'd sing a song,
Familiar and blue.

But I ain't got,
nobody to sing it to.

He is gone,
the road has left him dry.

I can't shed,
another tear.

In my head,
I'm at a loss for words,
oh, oh, oh.

I'd write a verse,
Familiar and true.

But I ain't got,
Nobody to read it to.

He is gone,
and I can't get him back.

I wont shed,
another tear.

In my head,
I'm at a loss for words.
oh, oh, oh.

He is gone,
He's gone, he left, he's not coming back.
I wont shed, no, not another tear.

But in my head,
I'll always remember him,
I'll always remember you.

The Railroad Song

I came by the rail road,
I came with my shirt tucked.

Battle wounds and dirty cuts,
Lord I didn't have much.

Walkin' in a bare foot,
Talkin' like I'm undone.

Read me like a dirty book,
I bet you ain't got none.

The face of brilliance, she doesn't know it yet...but I do.

Don't Come Sun

Don't come sun,
I'm dreaming of living,
With the seas rolling over my eyelids.

Sink with me now,
Into something unspoken,
While my troubles dissipate.

Don't go moon,
You always leave,
And all too soon.

Dance with me now into the silver,
Move to the sound the silence makes,
While my thoughts are at bay.

Don't come sun,
Stay still in your place,
While I in mine; far away from your honesty.

Don't come sun,
I'm dreaming of living,
Don't wake me sun, don't come.

honesty

If I could hold you I would,
If I could be true then I could.
If I could hold you I would,
If I could be true then I could.
If I could hold you I would,
If I could hold you I would.
