Wandering John

Johnny always was a drifter, never in one place too long
As people started to know him, that’s when he’d be up and gone
Johnny always was a drifter, only one place he belonged
Wandering John

Johnny finally found a small town, where he met his love for real
She poured a mean cup of coffee, couldn’t believe how she made him feel
But Johnny always was a drifter, he answered to the highway song
Couldn’t believe how he missed her, so he went back but she was gone
Wandering John

Johnny always was a drifter, but now the driftin felt all wrong
Cause Johnny loved her and he missed her, it was with her that he belonged
So Johnny set out to find her, on a road lonely and long

Peace of Mind

You’re out of step, you’re out of time
All you’ve kept and left behind
Been lookin so hard
But cannot find....peace of mind

Dead end streets, empty pursuits
You’re more careful now
About the course you choose
Still lookin so hard
Tryin to find....peace of mind

Sun goes down, another day
All the signs point to the way
You looked for so long
To finally find....peace of mind

Cortez the Killer (written by Neil Young)

He came dancing across the water, with his galleons and guns
lookin’ for the new world and the palace in the sun.
On the shore lay Montezuma, with his coca leaves and pearls;
in it’s house he often wandered the secrets of the world.

And his subjects gathered round him, like the leaves around a tree,
in their clothes of many colors for the angry gods to see.
And the women all were beautiful and the men stood straight and strong;
they offered life in sacrifice so that others could go on.

Hate was just a legend and war was never known;
people worked together and they lifted many stones.
And they carried them to the flat lands, but they died along the way,
and they built up with their bare hands what we still can’t build today.

And I know she’s livin’ there, and she loves me to this day;
I still can’t remember when or how I lost my way.

He came dancing across the water, Cortez, Cortez.
What a killer.

The Distance

There’s nothing there to see, that’s what so many say.
Well I have to disagree, just nothing’s in the way,
of the distance, of the distance,
where I see you, I see you.

So long since I left my garage, and I’ve been here in this mirage.
This lonely desert drive, where heat waves trick my eyes,
in the distance, in the distance,
where I see you, still see you.
I’m worried now, cause I’ve been here way too long.
I fear somehow I’ll never make it back from gone,
and back to you, from the distance.
What if the distance is just too far.

Each day it’s deja vu, wishing I was close to you.
And at night under starry skies, I dream of your loving eyes,
in the distance, the distance,
where I see you, still see you.
I’m worried now, I’ve been here way too long.
I fear somehow I’ll never make it back from gone,
and back to you, from the distance.
What if the distance is just too far.
