Rabbit Hole
THE RABBIT HOLE
Here we go once again
Round and round from beginning to end
Round and round the circle we go
Where it stops nobody knows
Don’t you remember that we’ve been here before
Spinning round in this revolving door
We’re going round round round the circle we go
We’re going down down down down the rabbit hole
Am I lost in my disillusion?
Head is spinning in a world of confusion
Did I loose that last piece of the puzzle
Hair on my neck tells me there’s trouble
Don’t you remember that we’ve been here before
Trapped inside this revolving door
We’re going round round round the circle we go
We’re going down down down down the rabbit hole
So run fast as fast as you can
Close your eyes and see where you land
We’ve been running for so long
Can’t remember what were running from
Wrong Turns
Wrong Turns (Waimea)
Harsh winds blowing cross the plains of Oklahoma
Even worse from Rawlings to Rock Springs
Never thought that wrong turn would take me
So far away from where I long to be
I can see her dancing on the beach at Waialea (Waimea?)
As evening’s light’s lost to the sea
Too many things I wish I would have told her
Just how much she means to me
Waimea I hear you calling
Across the windswept hills on rainy mornings
Windward sunrise greets the falling mist blowing westward
Making rainbows shine
Clouds are dark and getting darker
Freezing wind that starts to burn
Lose yourself in the glare of a headlight
To many words so many wrong turns
Gonna find my way back to her
I can hear her calling out my name
And hold her in my arms just like we once were
Turn the clock back begin again
Chorus
Should never have left her gentle spirit
Soft waves lapping at her feet
And To feel presence of Mauna Kea
It’s in that moment where I need to be
Chorus
Perfect Day
Perfect Day
On this perfect day On this perfect day
I wanted to tell you how I feel
Before you walk. away
I wanted to tell you love is real
It’ll Never fade away
On this perfect day
The sun’s on our faces
On this perfect day
Sharing this perfect day
Spinning around on a circle round and round
Surviving a crazy world on this perfect day
The Sun’s on our faces
On this perfect day
It don’t matter what that say
It don’t matter what they do
It just matters where we are
As long as I’m with you
On this perfect day
The sun’s on our faces
On this perfect day
The sun’s on our Faces
Turn and Look Inside
No where to run to
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run to
Turn and look inside
You thought you’d found truth
What you found were lies
You thought you’d found truth
Turn and look inside
Cause every heart seeks its own truth
The answers are waiting… inside of you
No one can tell you
Or define your life
No one can tell you
Turn and look inside
No one will ever know this mystery that is our soul
No person, place or thing will ever set your heart free
Cause every heart seeks its own truth
The answers are waiting… inside you, it’s kindness and truth, waiting for you
First Verse
No one will ever know this mystery that is our soul
No person, place or thing will ever set your heart free
Cause every heart seeks its own truth
The answers are waiting… inside of you, it’s kindness and truth, kindness and truth
My New Shoes
Been one of those kinda days
Where nothing seems to want to go your way
Just had my heart broke in two
Dog chewed my hat…….and my new shoes
Trucks on the fritz ……. Frig just died,
Storms got its way…… my Internets fried
Some days best to let the world go by
Turn on the tube and stay inside
She threw my wallet in the trash
No more credit cards … no more cash
Just had my heart broke in two
Dog chewed my hat…… and my new shoes
Chorus
Missed all my traffic lights
Some days the timing… don’t go so right
Just had my heart broke in two
Dog chewed my my hat… and my new shoes
Chorus
Not really a lot of reason to complain
Sweetheart was sour…. my dogs ok
Just had my heart broke in two
Dog chewed my hat… and my new shoes
My new shoes
‘xcept the Water
Kicking back with some of my old friends sharing
Sun is shinning on this Big Island
Threw away my socks and shoes
Ain’t no worries and there ain’t no blues
‘xcept the water… ‘xcept the water… ‘xcept the water… and what you choose
Pineapple dripping down my chin
Getting lost in my beard again
God only knows how I found this road
Grace appeared took me home
Rainbow sunsets in my eyes
And not a care greets tomorrows sunrise
Got no time to hear to bad news
Ain’t no worries and there ain’t no blues
‘xcept the water… except the water…’xcept the water… and what you choose
Chorus
Surf’s kicking up.. from a swell
Old Friends are here and all is well
Salty sweet steaming BBQ
Ain’t no worries and there ain’t no blues
‘xcept the water… except the water… ‘xcept the water… and what you choose
Chorus
It’s just the water.. it’s just the water… it’s just the water… and everything blue
Upside Down
You call me up just to break me down
Fire your last shot across the battleground
So now you’re up now I’m down
What you think is up is just upside down
You’re upside down falling down upside down falling down upside down falling down
I see your smile It’s such a waste
To treat your life like some kinda race
So now you’re up now I’m down
What you think is up is just upside down
You’re upside down falling down upside down falling down upside down falling down
I’d hoped that you would find love and kindness and peace of mind
To fill that angry heart and find yourself and a brand new start
When up’s no longer down and your life gets turned around
When that day comes you call me up …You’re upside down
These posessions you prize always wanting more more more
Thought you’d realize it’s not what life is for
So now you’re up now I’m down
What you think is up is just upside down
You’re upside down falling down upside down falling down upside down falling down
Evil
Inspired by the school shootings at Columbine High School, Sandy Hook Elementary and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the bombings in OKC and the Boston Marathon and of course our president and his current administration.
Evil on the corner … Evil on the street
Evil all around us … Evil you can’t see
What do you do … When evil comes for you?
Evil in the heartland … Evil on the coasts
Evil in the shadows … Evil that explodes
What do you do … When evil comes for you?
You can run and hide
Close your ears and close your eyes
Hope and pray that it don’t come true
But evil comes for you …
What do you do … When evil comes for you?
There must be another way … Where we don’t have to run away
Where we don’t have to be afraid … Of a dangerous mind …
Cause when it’s over the damage’s done … Enough heartache for everyone
Shattered souls and lives undone … Won’t wash away, Won’t wash away
Evil on the corner … Evil on the street
Evil all around us … Evil you can’t see
What do you do … When evil comes for you? Evil comes for you?
Evil comes for you?
Bump in the Road (Walt’s song)
LIfe’s just one big rock ‘n roll band
We’re all playing the best we can
Gonna be alright Gonna be ok (Gonna be alright)
Look to the sky and what do you see
Big old sun shining down on me
Gonna be alright Gonna be ok
Close your eyes and think real good
Things ‘ill turn out the way they should
Sometimes there’s a bump in the road
But your old rig gonna handle that load
Gonna be alright Gonna be ok
Live your life day by day
Let it go and come what may
Gonna be alright Gonna be ok
Close your eyes and think real good
Things ‘ill turn out the way that they should
Sometimes there’s a bump in the road
But your old rig can handle that load
Gonna be alright Gonna be ok
Faith, friends and family
Not much else you’ll ever need
Gonna be alright Gonna be ok
Close your eyes and think real good
Things will turn out the way that they should
Shadows
Shadows growing longer Evening’s on its way
Wind blowing cold now Colors start to fade
If you’ve got the answers Now’s the time to say
Wind blowing cold now … Trouble on its way
What seemed so clear to me in the light of day
Now’s just hard to see Colors start to fade
Before the sun sets out of town Shadows get on their way
One thing left for us to do The price that must be paid
Fate brought this chance to make all our dreams come true
One more roll of the dice … what else can we do
Too long lost in the shadows
We gotta move on
No use looking back now
We’re either right or wrong …
Shadows growing longer Evening’s on its way
Wind blowing cold now Colors start to fade
If you’ve got the answers Now’s the time to say
Wind blowing cold now Trouble on its way
Wind blowing cold now Trouble on its way
Wind blowing cold now Trouble on its way
Right in Front of You
You were standing in front of me Dreams and destinies
Like a wave crashing over me Falling in love
You turned back and looked at me And when our eyes would meet
Like a wave crashing over me Falling in love
Falling in love In love Falling in love
Don't ever doubt that your dreams won’t all come true
Have faith in that heart of yours it will carry you
Might even be standing right in front of you
Looking back at you Falling in love
Just falling in love Falling in love Falling in love
This life has no guarantees Even when we disagree
Waves keep crashing over me Falling in love
Nothing’s ever changed for me You’re still my dream and destiny
Waves keep crashing over me Falling in love
Falling in love Falling in love Falling in love
Don’t ever doubt that your dreams won’t all come true
Have faith in that heart of yours it will carry you
Might even be standing right in front of you
Looking back at you
Falling in love
Looking at you, Falling in love, Looking at you, at you
Falling in love, Falling in love, Looking at you, Falling in love, Looking at you
When I’m Gone
Nothin’ much left to say today
I said it all and I’m on my way
Heading south to some friends of mine
We’re gonna have us a real good time
You’re in the past and I’m moving on
Will you miss me when I’m gone
When I’m gone
When I’m gone
You broke my heart one too many times
Sick and tired of all your lying
And your cheating too
It’s time I move
You’re in the past and I’m moving on
Will you miss me when I’m gone
When I’m gone
When I’m gone
Worked my fingers down to the bone
Don’t think I don’t know when you’re not at home
What you’re up too
I ain’t no fool
You’re in the past and I’m moving on
Will you miss me when I’m gone
When I’m gone
When I’m gone
Lucky Man
Thinking about the years gone by
Won’t find any tears in my eyes
Never had to fight a war and die
I’m a lucky man
Have a friend to share my soul
Always had a place to go
Plenty of food on the table
I’m a lucky man
Oh as the years go by
Often …. I wonder why
I’m a lucky man
All the kids are doing well
Love to hear the stories they tell
As long as everybody’s got their health
I’m a lucky man
Who knows what lies ahead
There’ll be good times and there’ll be bad
But after all is done and said
I’m a lucky man
Tornado
Made my mind up
Gonna give up on you
And that’s a shame ‘cause you know
What we’ve been through
But there’ll be no more lies
No excuses and no alibis
No more sweeping this under the table
From where I’m standing and from what I can see
You’re just one big catastrophe
Spinning round and round
In your tornado
And after all
You’d think I’d learned by now
To stay away from a tornado
And after all
You’d think I’d learned by now
To stay away from a tornado
Thought I’d give us
One more try
But that was only before
Your last lie
You burned me one last time
And I a’int gonna sit around crying
Not while I’m still willing and able
Kind of sad to see us end this way
What were you thinking anyway?
That I’d never see the light of day
Through your tornado
And after all
You’d think I’d learned by now
To stay away from a (your) tornado
Some Other Time
Some other time some other place
Some other time some other place in time
We become the light and the truth
We become the essence of our souls
We become infinite wisdom
We become all that’s ever known
You can’t imagine
The wind across the ocean or the earth that you walk on
That star in the distant night or a word never spoken
And all that can be imagined and all that will ever be
Every Emotion and every fantasy
You can’t imagine
The present moment the future the past
The touch that awakens the soul the die that’s been cast
The moon and the tides on a crystal clear night
Where dreams become reality in the blink of an eye
You can’t imagine
Some other time some other place
Some other time some other place in time
We become the light and the truth
We become the essence of our souls
We become infinite wisdom
We become all that’s ever known
You can’t imagine
Backs to the Wall
Here we are once again
Backs to the wall face to the wind
Never thought I’d see you again
But here we are face to the wind
We’ve been down this road too many times
When will we realize your heart belongs…with mine
Backs to the wall
Face to the wind
We’ve been here before we can do this again
Backs to the wall face to the wind
Have faith my love, my friend
Backs to the wall face to the wind
We’ve been down this road too many times
When will we realize your heart belongs – belongs!!!... with mine
Backs to the wall
Face to the wind
And so our new journey begins
Backs to the wall face to the wind
Never break, never bend
Backs to the wall face to the wind
We’ve been down this road too many times
When will we realize your heart belongs - belongs!!!...with mine
Backs to the wall
Face to the wind
If You Could Do This All Again
If you did this all again
Oh what would you do
Would you live your life the same?
Knowing what you knew
Or would you play things differently
Roll the dice
If you could do this all again
In another life
I… just don’t know
From where the winds of fate will blow
If I were to do this all again
How would my life change?
If I were to do this all again
Would I still be who I am?
If I saw your face somewhere
Would I recognize?
Or would I turn and walk away
Into someone else’s life
If I were to do this all again
Even if you could
Knowing what I know right now
I’m not sure that I would
To give up all those sweet memories
All those special times
To never hold my child’s hand
Or look into your eyes
I… just don’t know
From where the winds of fate will blow
If we could do this all again
If we could change the past
If we could do it all again
And change what fate may cast…. And change what fate may cast …
Again and Again
Think by now we’d know what’d take
Think by know we’d found a better way
Think by now we would have learned from our mistakes
But then… We do it again… All over again and again
Our troubled world’s in disarray
Things have changed in so many ways
Life ain’t fair that’s fair to say
But then…We do it again…All over again
The child is starving... again and again
A war is raging... again and again
Another school shooting... again and again
No one’s doing nothing... again and again
Think by now we’d know what is truth
Think by now we’d know just what to do
Think by now all those fools would loose
But then… We do it again…All over again and again
Chorus
Hope our world sees better days
Hope for our sake that it’s not to late
Hope that we can all find our way
Cause then… We can do it again…All over again and again and again and…
Gotta Let Go
Why are you standing here?
Looking so sad
Why do you worry so?
Can't be that bad Oh ...oh...Oh... oh...
Can't be that bad
The world is a mystery
You can get lost
Holding onto to those things that you love
There’s gonna be costs Oh ...oh...Oh... oh...
There’s gonna be costs
Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh oh
Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh oh, oh
When will you tell yourself?
You’re worthy and kind
Even in this damaged world
There’s happiness to find Oh ...oh...Oh... oh...
Happiness to find
Can you forgive yourself?
With all that you know
You're holding onto this life too tight
You gotta let go Oh... oh...Oh...oh...
You gotta let go
Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh oh
Oh oh, Oh oh Oh Oh Oh Oh You gotta let go, you gotta let go, you gotta let go…gotta let go
The Road of Understanding
Doesn’t seem so long ago
You and I were riding on that road
Of understanding
Understanding and truth
Rolling down this road today
Thinking ‘bout those yesterdays
And wishing I was riding
Along side of you
What a mystery
This life has turned out to be
Seeking out roads that lead you to truth
Counting back the days
A smile comes to my face
Just thinking ‘bout what you and I went through
That was then this is now
There’s no telling when or how
Why we choose
The roads we do
What a mystery
This life has turned out to be
Seeking out roads that lead you to truth
Counting back the days
Smile comes to my face
Just thinking ‘bout what you and I went through
Somewhere along the way
Exactly when its hard to say
Those days just slipped away
And I lost track of you
But I hope that you’re safe and sound
Traveling on that road that you’d found
That road of understanding
Understanding and truth
Doesn’t seem that long ago
You and I were riding on that road
Of understanding
Understanding and truth
Indecision
I’m tired of all this indecision…Make your mind up and tell me what you’re thinking
I can’t go on much longer this way
I’m tied to those strings that you’re pulling…It’s not fair to me not knowing
Tell me if you’re here to stay
We’ve shared a love together… faced some rough times together
Think before you throw this all away
I’ve tried to tell you... You’re the only one...
And if you leave me now…Two lives come undone
I’ve tried to tell you... …You’re the only one...
And if you leave me now…Two lives come undone…Two lives that once were one
Go ahead and tell me what you’re feeling…What you’re thinking, tell me what you’re seeing
In that picture of us today
Cause I’m tired of all this indecision…Make your mind up and tell me what you’re thinking
I can’t go on much longer this way
We’ve shared a love together… faced some rough times together
Think before you don’t throw this all away
I’ve tried to tell you... You’re the only one...
And if you leave me now…Two lives come undone…Two lives that once were one
Cause I’m tired of all this indecision…Make your mind up and tell me what your thinking
I can’t go on much longer this way…can’t go on much longer this way… can’t go on much longer this way….
Kilauea's Doing OK
I know a place where the world and the heavens collide
Where trade winds blow a kiss to those worries goodbye
And all your woes are swept away by the tide
Just take a breath and listen close your eyes
‘Cause my friend Kilauea's doing ok
The sun keeps shinning through - Mahalo Pele
Everybody playing some kind of game
We got the sun the sand and the surf and the waves
Ukuleles singing … palm trees sway
Just close your eyes feel the warmth of the rays
'Cause my friend Kilauea's doing ok
The sun keeps shinning through - Mahalo Pele
I know a place where the world and the heavens collide
Where trade winds blow a kiss to those worries goodbye
And all your woes are swept away by the tide
Just take a breath and listen close your eyes
'Cause my friend Kilauea's doing ok
The sun keeps shinning through - Mahalo Pele
Out of Here
Gas is flowing, Wheels are rolling, I'm outta here
Sparks igniting, I'm through with fighting, I'm outta here
You dragged me all over LA’s not so freeways
Through all that smog I just couldn't see
Just how bad, just how bad you were to me
Engines revving, I’m through with begging, I'm outta here
Gears are turning, My mind is burning, I'm outta here
Ain't gonna play those L.A. games with you
Not gonna be your fool no more
My foot’s on the gas shoved down to the floor
Speeds increasing, All your deceiving, I'm outta here
Exhaust is flying, You thought I’s lying, I'm outta here
Nothing left for us to talk about
Except all those lies you were feeding me
I had my fill, it’s time to leave
Don't send any emails, don't try to call me, I forgot your name already
You dragged me all over LA’s not so freeways
Through all that smog I just couldn't see
Just how bad, just how bad you were to me
The 1 to the 101…the 405…the 5 to the 91… the 605… the 405…the 101…
And back to the 1 where it all had started from…
You dragged me all over LA’s not so freeways
Through all that smog I just couldn't see
Just how bad, just how bad you were to me
Don't send any emails, don't try to call me, I forgot your name already
Don't send any emails, not even a text, I forgot your name already
Pale Blue Eyes
I can see the sadness that lies... deep inside
Through the windows of your soul... pale blue eyes
You're lost in the crowd of thoughts... that clouds your mind
Where did you go?
Where did my best friend go?
I will wait for you…
I know it's a struggle... Sometimes it's a curse
And the anger that remains... only makes it worse
When it seems that your life... has been blown off course
Where did you go?
Where did my best friend go?
I will wait for you
Just like I wait for the sun to rise in the morning
Or I wait for the fog to blow away and leave a clear blue sky
I will wait till you can see clearly... through those pale blue eyes
Those septic thoughts that roll over... and over again
Remember that our answers... also lie within
Where truth and meaning and our spirits... all blend
Where did you go?
Where did my best friend go?
I will wait for you
Just like I wait for the sun to rise in the morning
Or wait for the fog to blow away and leave a clear blue sky
I will wait till you can see clearly... through those pale blue eyes
Pale blue eyes, pale blue eyes…
Hiding Out in Mexico
Hiding out in old Mexico
Living off the grid
Thought I’d find myself in Mexico
Well I never did
Sure the weather's fine
And the people too
But the answers you seek
Are all within you
I went down to Mexico
Running away from some storms
But when I got down to Mexico
It continued to pour
See I found out it's not where you are
Or what time of day
Cause who you Are’s
Not a time or a place
Holding out in old Mexico
Waiting for a sign
When the rain had stopped and sun came out
I knew it was time
To head on back
To friends and family
To where my heart
Was meant to be
Oh I'll always love sweet Mexico
And what she did for me
Her gentle soul, her natural way,
Her grace and beauty
Oh The weather's so fine
And The people too
They’ll be a day
I'll come back to you
I went down to Mexico
Lived off the grid
Thought I’d to find myself in Mexico
Just maybe I did, well maybe I did
Old Dirt Road Revisited
This life's like an old dirt road
Never know just where it'll go
Ain't no signs along the way
I worked hard all my life
Always tried to do what was right
I made mistakes
Along the way
Cause this life can lead you astray
You'll never know which is the right or wrong way
Till the end of the road
Life's journey's hard so it's said
Never planned that far ahead
Never know what lies around the bend
So we live our lives day by day
You know this road only goes one way
Where it ends its hard to say
That's for sure
So we head on down this road
Never knowing what we don't know
Never really knowing where this road will go
We met along the road
She was young and I was felling old
From where grace comes
You just …never …know
This life can lead you astray
You'll never know which is the right or wrong way
Till the end of the road, ‘till the end of the road…
It Don’t Get Much Better
I've been working way to hard
I've been traveling way to far
Looking for something I'd already found
Well it's time to turn around
I’ve been waiting way too long
The fool in me should have known all along
That I could keep waiting But I'd never find
That love and kindness in your eyes
It don't get much better than this
To feel your touch, To taste your kiss
With you by my side, And holding you tight
And when I look into those eyes
Looking in to those eyes
Looking in to those eyes
Looking in to your eyes
Quit my job I’m heading back home
God I hope she hasn’t moved on
This heart is pounding, What a sight to see
This beautiful women waiting for me
It don't get much better than this
I feel your touch, I taste your kiss
With you by my side, I’m holding you tight
And when I look into those eyes
Looking in to those eyes
Looking in to those eyes
Looking in to your eyes
It don't get much better than this
It don't get much better than this…
Tomorrow
Every night, every light
Reminds me of home
And all those faces that I see
Along side the road
Signs may say and they might tell you
Where you've been yesterday
But no one really knows which road
They'll be traveling tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Why did she lie?
Why'd I let her go?
Cold wind blows across these hills
The wheels keep rolling
With one less mile to go outside
Santa Rosa
Horizons come but
Then they fall
Into the night time
When I turn my thoughts to her and these endless white lines
She was the woman I loved
But inside still a girl
Wanted to be an actress
And her stage was the world
She'd say one thing turn me around do another
And in the end she made me her fool
Somehow I still love her
Big sky... Roadsides
You ask yourself why
And the same old scene keeps playing over again in your mind
All these miles make me wonder
Am I living or is it a lie
Well that's just one more question for the road
Tomorrow
Why’d I let you go
Wondering Why
I've been looking back Through these old eyes
At my life And wondering why
The fates have been So kind to me
With so many people Just trying to survive
I'm wondering why
I had a plan For my life
Crazy as it seems Things worked out alright
The fates have been So kind to me
But I think about the people Just trying to survive
I'm wondering why
But I think about the people Just trying to survive
I'm wondering why
I had this dream This humanity
A world that’s kind and Left in peace
Our fates were all In harmony
And there were no longer people Just trying to survive
No need to wonder why
And there were no longer people Just trying to survive
And rest for these old eyes
