Red Dress 03:54
RED DRESS Girl knows how to work it Came late with a red dress on Listen up quit laughin’ at me Read my lips better guard Your sons. She does what She wants to, long legs got a heart of stone mama knows she’s a problem, stays out late leaves her man at home Some of us got no reason To be dead or alive escapin’ pain can make you do evil Most people just been Tryin’ to survive Gina wore red when she was under the weather Best friend said she could make her feel better. Seemed like a fine Idea at the time, baby didn’t know that her soul was on the line Spent every dime that she owned before she stole roll from everyone close. deep down she was a good woman but you’d never know Some of us got no reason To be dead or alive escapin’ pain can make you do evil Most people just been Tryin’ to survive And some of us got no dreams they all died on the vine They’re goin to hell in search of a healer, Time after time 6 months later she was lookin for help But she couldn’t qualify
 we rehabilitate the rich keep the poor woman out of the public eye. 18 months on a waiting list rock bottom hit like an iron fist She would never hurt anyone so she robbed the store with her hand in a bag sayin’ it’s a gun Some of us got no reason To be dead or alive escapin’ pain can make you do evil Most people just been Tryin’ to survive And some of us got no dreams they all died on the vine They’re goin to hell in search of a healer Time after time They say you can’t save everybody Lord you can’t change nobody’s mind And maybe some of us are unreachable, unteachable but what if we try?

BIPOLAR SCHIZOPHRENIC Every day Every day, every day without you is wonderful And everything Everything without you is beautiful I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on You twist the truth so crazily it’s plain to see that you don’t care for right or wrong You’re like a greedy evil Global corporation’s Politician make decisions For your hidden reason Special interest influences But you’re bipolar schizophrenic you get sick you get manic and the voices tell you to do what you want to And if I went back in time I would tell all my friends To kidnap me in my sleep and make sure we never met I remember the day that your Quiet ex sent me pictures of Your Oklahoma mugshot On the internet There was an article and from What it said you were on parole Implicated in your baby’s death I couldn’t believe what I was Hearin’ when you went and Blamed it all on your evil twin You tried to convince me with a Facebook page there was just One fuzzy photo and the friends Were all from different states You do what you want to Oh im so relieved I can breathe again I forgot To mention im so glad you’re In detention babe Now I don’t have to deal with you I got all the powers to You got all the powers to do what You want to

No 2 Ways 05:16
NO 2 WAYS Do you know how hard life can be When you can’t pay all the bills Then your mom gets sick with cancer But you can’t pay for the pills She has to take every day For the next year or two Or the rest of her life The doctors say That there aint no two ways about it Better run and pray there aint no two ways about it Better run and pray Now every time you look around and you think things can’t get worse Rest assured that they can Maybe they will cause happenstance Is a matter o chance Or divine will Times they are a’changin’ You’re standin’ still The times they are a’changin’ You’re standin’ still I can’t make up, Make up my mind Wish you’d leave cause I Can’t say goodbye And I know we aint gonna last Well I been so many places That I don’t know where im comin’ from Took so many chances That I spat back out like chewing gum Thoughts turn right into actions Look what you done And if actions turn into habits What do we become? I can’t make up, Make up my mind Wish you’d leave cause I Can’t say goodbye And I know we aint gonna last And someday I’ll be lookin’ back When I lose hope that love is real I’ll remember seein’ it From here Well I been so lonely I can’t talk And I been so sad I couldn’t even walk But I can’t complain much about it So have we all I can’t complain much about it So have we all I can’t make up, Make up my mind Wish you’d leave cause I Can’t say goodbye And I know we aint gonna last And someday I’ll be lookin’ back When I lose hope that love is real I’ll remember seein’ it From here Ever since I met you I feel better somehow I don’t know where it came from but I don’t want it gone And there ain’t no two ways about it I know it’s wrong

LOVE ME 04:04
LOVE ME Maybe all this time I been lookin at you all wrong Couldn’t see the picture for the frame I was too busy hangin’ on Love me love me love me Love me love me love me love me love me Im alone and I picked another lonely lonely lonely boy Late he was out he was up all night Lest get nothing by the end Take me now is there comfort in it Lift your eyes on emptiness Love me love me love me Love me love me love me love me love me Make me a memory somebody Beam light down Onto my face Lookin’ for somebody Who’s tryin’ to find me And I can touch it In my mind Love me love me love me Love me love me love me love me love me He may buy you a cup of coffee He may ask about your dreams But it doesn’t mean he loves you No it doesn’t mean a thing Doesn’t mean a thing Doesn’t really mean a thing Doesn’t mean a thing Doesn’t really mean a thing Love me love me love me Love me love me love me love me love me Run from me I need a Need a new life and nothing less Can’t find me in the grave you made Ive been made into something else Can’t tell me everything you never said Tortured me into something else Love me love me love me Love me love me love me love me love me Love me love me love me Love me love me love me love me love me love me Love me love me love me Love me love me Love me

GUITAR OFF THE WALL I hate when we fight We do it every night Would it make things right If I gave in to flight If I run away Everything’s fine Just sign on the line Just sign on the line And we’ll put it behind us
 don’t run away Do you see me goin off somewhere? Do you see Do you see me Goin off somewhere I been listenin’ I been standin’ out your door I aint gonna tell you what I heard and I aint gonna let you know what im gonna do before I do it Im gonna take my guitar off the wall And im gonna use it Can’t please most anyone Anytime anyway said I aint gonna be able to please Anyone Most anytime anyway So I might as well do it I hate when we fight We do it every night Would it make things right If I gave in to flight If I runaway Everything’s fine Just sign on the line Just sign on the line And we’ll put it behind us
 don’t run away You can’t be sad Cause this ain’t over It never started How can nothing Leave you brokenhearted? Remember in this life You can’t spend what you aint got And you can’t lose it Im gonna take my guitar off the wall And im gonna use it

ALBUM CREDITS:

Thank you forever to Smilin' Bob, the biggest influence I will ever have in so many ways.

Thank you to Klaus & Julia (parents) for forgiving and supporting me after I told them I wasn't going into the Phd program and would not be using my degree to someday practice industrial psychology or research but as a musician in a perpetually high risk, low margin entrepreneurship.

Thanks to Jordan Trotter for recording and putting the extra thought and time into the mixes.

And thank you to all our fans who have stuck with me through everything, from Tyrannosaurus Chicken to Ben Miller Band to this new solo project.

I'll be doing a lot of different kinds of music and can't wait to see what y'all think, and to perform live again.
much love to you all
