Dear Ramirez,

I could tell you about the places I have been
But there is only one place left for me to go
Across the divide and in your arms
So I keep my ear to the wind
And listen to what the big sky says
It sings to me ever so sweetly
Ramirez, Ramirez
Across the Santa Clara
My true love i'll find ya
Across the Santa Clara
That's where I'll find ya
I could tell you about my fights in the streets
the battles that i've won and i've lost
to make you my wife to make a man out of me
And I can never sleep through the night
there's a battle that rages in my chest
It cries out loud...Ramirez
Across the Santa Clara
My true love i'll find ya
Across the Santa Clara
That's where I'll find ya

tell me more about where you've been
tell me more about you and him
my hand is getting really heavy on the pour
I'm fixing to settle the score
I've been waiting for you to come back home
You want to know where i've been
I've been out with another
You know him as johnny boy
i know him as your brother
i've been waiting for you to come around
I'm going to have a word with that boy
And see if what your saying is a lie
If that story doesn't check out
I'll cock back my .45
i've been waiting for you to come back home
You want to know if we've been kissing
and if he touched me there
maybe i was talking about you
and how you no longer care
i've b een waiting for you to come around
if you could see yourself
you'd understand why im with someone else, oh love
your voice in my head, please tell me, please tell me this isn't the end
it's all in my head, please tell me please tell me it's all in my . . .
you see what happens when you leave me alone
you get all crazy twisted in the day
won't you please just come back to me
you better get on your knees and say
i've been waiting
you are always asking of me
i've b een waiting
i think it's time i ask of you
i've been waiting
if you gonna get on your knees
i've been waiting
you better give me a wedding ring
i've been waiting for you to come around

Ricochet

I see the darkness coming, see it all too clear
I feel it creeping in the whites of my eyes
I know its back around, I know its in this town
Hold on, hold on
Train whistle blowing, I’m at the trestle drinking
If I had any sense I’d skip out in the night
But no I’ll fill my cup, it might just bring me luck
Hold on, hold on
Like a ricochet, coming back for me
Mirrors echo a reason to flee
It’s coming back for me , it’s coming back for me
Hanging by a thread, but that’s what makes me
I got no horses, to pull my wagon
I’ve always had to pull this weight on my own
But now it’s caving in, I just might give in
Hold on, hold on
Thunder cracking loud, at the walls of my heart
Crashin in to find sinner by his name
I want no more trouble, life is a struggle
Hold on, Hold on

Mourning Song

I wake up in the morning light
I get up and it don’t feel right
Ain’t nothing good looking until it’s all gone
I got this feeling that I’ve done something wrong
Ain’t nothing good looking until it’s gone
I find you on the back porch step
You look at me and ask me what’s next
Aint nothing good looking until its gone
So I think it’s best babe if I move on
Aint nothing good looking until its gone
Chorus:Yeah ok baby I’m no fool,
Ya ok I didn’t play it cool
No no no no/ yeah yeah….yeah alright
We doing all kinds of white
We do that shit all through the night
Aint nothing good looking until it’s all gone
I got news man here comes the sun
Aint nothing good looking until it’s all gone
Now here comes that evening shame
I can’t help but feel afraid
Aint nothing good looking until it’s all gone
All I got now is my mourning song
Ain’t nothing good looking until its gone, gone gone gone god damn!

It was a quiet night
All alone
I started drinking
Cuz she wasn’t home
It had been 2 weeks since I seen my baby
And I was losing control
The phone rings, rings, rings, rings
The call that eases my fear
A sigh of relief rushed upon me
When I heard she was near
IT WILL BE OK SWEETIE, IT WILL BE OKAY
With guns, knives, bats and fists, denim, leather and chains!
We stormed the hillside, kicked that door
Aha! The one thing worth killing for
I took my stand, blood on our hands
To put back the pieces of this family
I drove her home to the life that she’ll live
My eyes filled with tears as she sleeps in her crib
IT WIL BE OK SWEETIE, IT WILL BE OKAYYYYYYY

Killing Boots

i'm gonna treat you good, just like i told your daddy i would
i'm going to take you everywhere, tonight i'll take you to the old country fair
i hope you got your dancing shoes, i'll do my best to stay out of the news
but darling you understand, i keep a pistol inside my waistband
oh me, oh my, my killing boots are going to make you mine
yeah, oh me and my killing boots
you can cross me once, don't cross me twice
but if you do than cross your heart and hope to die
I'm a gamblin man, you can bet on me
but if you don't your odds are getting heavy
i was born without a conscience and no soul to sell
them good intentions only pave the road to hell
ive done my best, it was never enough
thats why i keep my killing boots in my truck
oh me, oh my, my killing boots are going to make you mine
yeah, oh me and my killing boots
we walked to the stage hand in hand, we fell in time with the old country rag band
and i went to the bar to get us some drinks
that's when i saw that man flash you a wink
i lost my mind like i have always done
i laced up my boots, i cocked my gun
i found them by the carousel
i took their lives, i sent em to hell
oh me, oh my, my killing boots are going to make you mine
yeah, oh me and my killing boots
