avail

i know missed yesterday but i was busy with working and trying to get to the phillies game last night. i'll make up for it with avail today. they will still remain on my favorite bands no matter how old i get. every time i've seen them i was never disappointed. dixie will always be my favorite album no matter what..

west wye



sidetracked conveniently five steps from the mainline
fresh off a grain porch drinking swill
down from picking up in maine
counting change
"oh how i, i would do anything for that old junktrain to turn manifest
and highball, yeah i'd sing that railroad song by the time the sun is setting
in the west"
no time or purpose as embers smolder
holed up in pines of green
pablo writes "dos" where mouths don't share what their eyes have seen
"see those days are gone and i can't stand one more
i've fought this war counting miles alone
i've seen it all, every goddamn state
out here son it's as rough as i have known"
all i have known with sky above as home
and ground beneath as bed is to ride fast
live slow and without regret
"i've got no time for regret
those thoughts solve nothing in the end
i've got blistered hands
and lived full through rejection
long endured
'cause i came up poor
"hell no i, i wouldn't change a thing, those old junktrains all turn manifest
and highball, yeah i'll sing that railroad song by the time
the sun is setting in the west"


south bound on 95(one of favorite songs)

simple song



going over in my head what seems like everything
remembering commitments
that nowadays just blend
i don't know where i'm going and i don't think i care
i had my taste wound up misplaced
bounced off those troubles clear

did i trip myself up again?
did i see more than you did?
did i trip myself up again?
did i see more than you did?

decisions made without regard returning as regrets
i knew they could but thought they would come crashing with success
they know nothing about me and i really doubt they care
but that's alright cause by myself i do fine anywhere

did i trip myself up again?
did i see more than you did?
did i trip myself up again?
did i see more than you did?

it seems like i shouldn't have pushed it
hid myself and lost focus for a change
shouldn't of made myself committed
i got to know that one by now
i'm better off without

the falls



to all the years full of front porch stories
failed plans and procrastination
to r.a.g.n. sowing what others may implore
i've been broke and forlorn and caught out with the best at acca yard
oh it just goes to show, to desert friends like these streets
i would be crazy
to all the years full of backyard parties
winters in hibernation
to assaulting views with dominion at our door
healing but scarred
there's bullet holes in a porch in jackson ward
oh it just goes to show, to desert friends like these streets
i would be crazy
it goes to show, to dessert friends like these streets
i would be crazy
i sat back to consider what has been within a decade counted
should i fly? should i settle?
will i find peace in time, in the face of growing old?
to all the years full of untold stories
futures free of isolation
to all those gone who in thought and heart live on
on and on you never gave up and i got this far
oh it just goes to show, with friends like these to leave
i would be crazy
it goes to show, with friends like these to leave
i would be crazy

ately i've been thinking not about what you said but what you did if you're behind it you decide i'll survive i've been spending time looking out instead of in gotta keep reminding myself begin means end and i'm walking through the alleys in the morning and i'm trying to do some thinking i've gotta know this time for sure tell me why i'm feeling pressured tell me why you feel alright but still i don't i caught myself believing every word that was said and that's fine i'll learn to depend on myself in time 'cause i made some decisions that just barely left me with an opinion or identity of my own tell me why i feel below you tell me why you feel alright but still i' don't would you feel like a stranger if i turned and walked away? would you care if i stayed? the many times i've been through this have i learned from mistakes i've made? i may try and if i fall i'll pick myself up again i don't want your lines and i don't want your sympathy 'cause i'm trying to break old habits and i want to do that on my own tell me why i'm feeling pressured tell me why you feel alright but still i don't
