Sitting on the Steps
Been fishing in the bayou.
Picked peanuts from red clay.
Fished along the muddy river bend.
Listened to the katydids.
Flipping skipping stones.
Dragon flies a-dancing in the wind.
I walked along a gravel road while rain washed cares away,
Wishing I could change the things what may.
But nothing quite prepared me
For the day I sat alone,
Sitting on the steps with Jessie May.
Living in a tin shack
Sleeping on the straw
Sitting all alone on a log.
Waiting for the sunshine
On a cold hard winters night,
No one there to love me but my dog.
I’ve been around long enough to know you can’t go back
And try to change all the things what may.
But nothing quite prepared me,
For knowing I would never
Sit again on steps with Jessie May.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye on the steps with Jessie May.
Say good bye.
Say goodbye.
Alone on the steps with Jessie May.

Lifeline
Remember things we said we wanted to be,
Knowing we would make our own path someday.
I saw your heart every minute we shared,
Not understanding the prices we might pay.
Takes balance to cross the high wire.
If you feel like you’re going to fall,
When people are unkind,
You know that you can call:
I will be your lifeline.
If your dreams are getting battered,
You have no friend to find,
You don’t have to sit there shattered:
I will be your lifeline.
When you are lost on some forgotten road
And sorrow seems to tower from above,
Look around and see me standing with you.
And I will wrap you up in love.
Takes courage to cross the highway.
If you feel like you’re going to fall,
When people are unkind,
You know that you can call:
I will be your lifeline.
If your dreams are getting battered,
You have no friend to find,
You don’t have to sit there shattered:
I will be your lifeline.
If you feel like you’re going to fall,
When people are unkind,
You know that you can call:
I will be your lifeline.
I will be your lifeline.

Lonesome Goddess
When it came that fateful day
When you would leave and go away
Find yourself stranded in some private place
I'll be there to touch your face
Lonesome Goddess
Standing alone on the busy street
Nothing to follow except your feet
Every turn taken but forgotten dreams
It isn't as bad as it may seem
Lonesome Goddess
Lonesome Goddess
Remember my name
Lonesome Goddess
I'm still the same
Lonesome Goddess
When all the worshippers fall away
When there are finally dues to pay
When all the prayers have all been said
No more apostles filling your head
Lonesome Goddess
Lonesome Goddess
Remember my name
Lonesome Goddess
I'm still the same
Lonesome Goddess
Tell you all you ever want to hear
When they don't know what it is you fear
They walk away when it gets too close
I know what nobody else can know
Lonesome Goddess
Remember my name
Lonesome Goddess
I'm still the same
Lonesome Goddess
You were not meant to be a savior
Open up everyone else's door
Look back up that abandoned road
You'll see me standing there in the cold
Lonesome Goddess
Remember my name
Lonesome Goddess
I'm still the same
Lonesome Goddess
Gave everyone you saw a song
Never stayed in one place very long
You should know one thing that's always true
I was the one wrote songs for you.
Lonesome Goddess
Remember my name
Lonesome Goddess
I'm still the same
Lonesome Goddess
When it came that fateful day
When you would leave and go away
Find yourself stranded in some private place
I'll be there to touch your face
Lonesome Goddess
Lonesome Goddess
Remember my name
Lonesome Goddess
I'm still the same
Lonesome Goddess

What I Never Said

Climb on the beaver dam, wait for the moon,
Walk down gravel roads, hide in poplar trees,
Hold your hand as we walk home from school,
Steal some berries, scratches all on our knees
Trying to show what I couldn’t seem to say
Just what I was feeling every day.
The way that you look right through to my soul
Knowing without you I’ll never be whole
The thoughts turn me round in my head
I hope you always heard what I never said
Came high school and you were always the queen
Daring and crazy and free as the wind
Hoping you’d find me some place in between
Writing love notes that I could never send
Trying to show what I couldn’t seem to say
Just what I was feeling every day.
The way that you look right through to my soul
Knowing without you I’ll never be whole
The thoughts turning me round in my head
I hope you always heard what I never said
Dance in the kitchen to our favorite song
Watch the children playing out on the lawn
Any time away is always too long
I need to hold you right here in my arms
Trying to show what I couldn’t seem to say
Just what I was feeling every day.
The way that you look right through to my soul
Knowing without you I’ll never be whole
The thoughts turning me round in my head
I hope you always heard what I never said
