Verse 1:
Well their's dogs in the yard diggin' up some bones
while we puff a fat one, sittin' in a madrone
well we listen to the stories of the hippy past
while we're passin' that grass, laughin' off my ass
Just before I knew it, she rolled another doob
I must be in the middle of a Shady Bone Groove
Chorus:
Shady Bone Groove
Verse 2:
Well a little while later headed up the hill
well the road was rough but the earth was still
and I ran into the brother by the name of Joob
He's trying to get the bubble goin', gone get the ice cubes!
A couple bongs later, I swear I couldn't move
I must be in the middle of Shady Bone Groove
(chorus)
Verse 3:
When the harvest comes we bringin' in the crop
it goes an assa missi massa & then it goes chop!
I'm talkin' 40 y#@> of b>##&^ some p$%x#@((*)) p0+
you try to get into the groove gotta get to the spot!
if you find yourself diggin' up some roots
you might be in the middle of Shady Bone Groove
(Chorus)

Verse1:
Their comes a time, for a ramlbin' mind, you got to make sense of this gypsy life
As the temperature rises, so does the tide, we got find a way to get through the divide
Their's a distant land for a ramblin' man, right where the river meets the sand
But sometimes you can't get up or stand, you got to make do of your broken plans
Chorus:
You got to know, when enough is enough
You got to grow, when the goin' gets tough
You let go, when push comes to shove
and then ya hope, I hope ya ain't outta Love
Verse2:
Their's a time & place for the human race, we all got to face our own mistakes
Some call it fate, but all it takes, a little confrontation before you awake
At the rise of day, we'll find a way to get further down that highway
If you compromise your ramblin' mind, you might see the future before your eyes
(Chorus)

Verse 1:
If it ain't paid off, what do you own?
Tell me what's the cost of taking out that loan?
you almost lost your entire home,
you're better off diggin' up some bones
If it ain't paid off, what do you own?
Chorus:
We've been here before, so many times
but we can't let go of life that seems sublime
Verse 2:
Yeah they keep you in debt until your death
well you work your whole life with little rest
they always told you never second guess
and then you thought you were blessed
yeah they keep you in debt until your death
(Chorus)

Bring the Blues back

|

|
Chorus:
Bring that blues back into the light, I never knew things went right
so many times things been wrong, so bring the blues back into the song
Verse 1:
the blues is back with a vengeance now, it can attack, all depending how
we all react, with our own concerns, but can't deny the fact, that it shall return
(Chorus)
Bridge:
I know we'd rather choose to win than loose
or take the path that brings the blues
but when you lose you learn, you learn, you grow
so the blues in turn, will help you do so
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
Bring it on, as long as you're true, a revolution comes, when it is due
it's time to turn off, your bias news & expose the truth, by singin' the blues
(Bridge)
(Chorus)

Naturally

Verse 1:
I guess you never really know, if you got the strength to let it go
can't always tell if you are kind, or done with weight you left behind
I guess it only goes to show, we always get what we are owed
but that ain't always clear to see, but change will come naturally
Chorus:
If the tide gone roll, let it guide my soul
if their's a crashin' shore, than give me passion more
if the lightning strikes let it shine the light
to the path I lead, may it come naturally
Verse 2:
And ain't that how the story goes, the truth will always be exposed
no sense in putting up a front, when you're never getting what you want
I guess it only goes to show, we always get what we are owed
but that ain't always clear to see, but change will come naturally
(Chorus)

Like a Lightning Bolt

|
Verse 1:
No way to describe, the strength of this tribe
a whole other vibe, give praise to provide
how can one explain? the way we maintained?
we were free from our pain, and still we remain...
Chorus:
Like a Lightning Bolt, Like a Lightning Bolt
a lighting bolt of energy
Verse 2:
How can one express, the way we felt blessed?
we were free from our stress, I felt the need to confess
I've been feeling frequencies, they're reaching me recently
change the way you perceive, gonna make you believe..
(Chorus)

Obsolete
04:57
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I gotta get my strength back, regain what I once had
it's just a minor set back, my soul is still intact
sometimes to get back on track, gotta question where your heads at
ya'll been walking on the same path, I'm about to change that
Chorus:
I'm a make you release your fear & give in to hope
the future is not clear, but some things we gotta just let go
that's the will to be weak, in these times of such need
of faith & belief that we ain't just Obsolete
Verse 2:
We all go through such pain, it's hard to not have some angst
it might seem so strange, but you can turn into your strength
not every path we get to choose, some will lead you to the blues
but just know when you loose, it's a chance for you to reboot
(Chorus)

Trouble In A Lovely Light
by zeb dewar
An true songwriter, Zeb Dewar has created a masterpiece of down home country with weary undertones of Americana Gothic Folk. A great album to turn on if you're lonely.

John Petty strumming out that steady acoustic rhythm & Gina wailing away on the violin, all backed by synthesizers & vocal harmonies, I like to describe this album as Space Grass or Psychedelic Folk

Nothin' But Blood
by Scott H. Biram
A great album from start to finish, it's like you can feel the pain & hurt of the highway miles this man has traveled. His music brings on feelings of desperation, addiction and of course ramblin'.

Dirty South Blues
by Robert Connely Farr
supported by 4 fans who also own “Little Courage”
Goddamn, Robert, you are the man! Some damn fine southern blues, unlike any I have experienced. The replay value on this son of a bitch is outstanding. I believe I'm on my 10th spin after what a week? Dark lullabies to calm the disturbed & disturb the comforted I have to say, I have never heard a version of Killing Floor Blues quite like Robert's. Only one of the many reasons I keep coming back to this 💎
