Time For Two
03:05

|
I started cleaning my place when you came through
Tried to dust off my heart got dust on you
Now there's dishes piling up and work to do
Ain't got time for two, Ain’t got time for two
Ain’t got time for two, Ain’t got time for you
I'm coming through town and need a place to sleep
Last time we made love it hurt for weeks
Making old lovin don't come cheap
Just need a place to sleep, Oh a place to sleep
Maybe eat some fried chicken, and brush my teeth
I started cleaning my place when you came through

First To Go
02:50
|

|
You'll be the first to go
I'll be the first to know
Took a bike to the corner store
And then couldn't come home
You'd be a poorer man
If you’ve never seen a grown man cry
You'd be a richer man
If you never saw your momma die

Strong Coffee
03:43

|
You got me driving long
You got me drinking strong coffee
And I know that it's bad for my health
You got me feeling gone
You got me strung along
And I know that it's bad for my health
And I...
I don’t know what to do with myself
And I...
Yeah I know that it’s bad for my health
You got me driving long
You got me drinking strong
You got me feeling gone
You got me strung along
And I...
I don’t know what to do with myself
And I...
Yeah I know that it’s bad for my health

Human Again
02:47
|

|
You know that I'm here for only one night
You know that I'm shy and don't know what's right
You make a move, I won't say it's a sin
It's good to feel human again
If I could find the will to stay
And you could find a way to bend
We'd run through the trees, make love on our knees
It's good to feel human again
[When I was a child with a bible in my hands
I'd pray to the Lord make me human again] x2
When I was a man with a child in my hands
I'd pray to the Lord make me human again x3
You know that I'm here for only one night
You know that I'm shy and don't know what's right
You make a move, I won't say it's a sin
It's good to feel human again
[When I was a child with a bible in my hand
I'd pray to the Lord make me human again] x2
When I was a man with a child in my hand
I'd pray to the Lord make me human again x3

Oh Mother
04:05

Did you love him in the winter?
Through the lonely years
Once our home now it’s gone
Burned from all his whiskey tears
You are the flame this house is going down
He can only love you so much when he’s chosen to drown
Did you love him when he’s drinkin?
Waiting for the clue
Did he tell you what we all knew?
He’d choose a bottle over you
You are the flame this house is going down
He can only love you so much when he’s chosen to drown
Gin looks like water to a daughter
When he stumbles in the door
Lock the windows when it’s raining
I hear you say no more
You are the flame this house is going down
He can only love you so much when he’s chosen to drone

Rolling Stoned

Ain’t I good enough to fall in love with
Ain’t I good enough to walk you home
If I’m good enough to fall in love with
Am I better off being alone
Ain’t I bad enough to fall in love with
Ain’t bad enough to take you home
If I’m bad enough to fall in love with
Am I better off being alone
Bridge:
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Girls
I’m not too blind to see. You’re not in love with me
Ain’t I rough enough to fall in love with
Ain’t I tough enough to build you a home
If I’m rich enough to fall in love with
Am I better of rolling stoned?

Sock Song
03:17
|
|||
|
I pulled my jeans from the dryer
I pulled a flannel from there to
There was a sock stuck on the flannel
There was a boy stuck on you
You always said relationships
Are like a pair of dirty socks
One of them likes staying
One likes getting lost
There’s always a first time
When you feel that you must leave
You’ve researched and you’ve reasoned
But found no reason to leave
I threw two socks in the drier
And it’s been a couple weeks
One of them has run off
And I think I’ve got cold feet
There’s always a first time
When you feel that you must leave
You’ve even gone to counseling
And you still don’t feel free
And it feels just like the first time
But I’ve got to walk away
I hope it doesn’t take a lifetime
To find a reason to stay

Lost at sea, always traveling alone
Lost at sea, the sails are full but the wind won’t blow
I am the captain but I know not where to go
I am the captain because I do not have a home
The night sky holds the moon
Holds the ocean
Holds the ship
That will bring me home
Bring me home to you
Lost at shore, always captive and alone
Lost at shore, wondering where these white sands blow
I am the dreamer and I need somewhere to go
I am the dreamer because I can’t call this my home
The night sky holds the moon
Holds the ocean
Holds the ship
That will bring me home
Bring me home to you
Lost at shore, lost at sea
Always homeless, never free
This is not how we are meant to be
Lost at shore, lost at sea
The night sky holds the moon
Holds the ocean
Holds the ship
That will bring me home
Bring me home to you

Northern Sky
04:17
|

|
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
Been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
Been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.
Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high

Four Leaf Clover
05:13
|

|
I found a green lighter Friday
I met a red headed girl
I said I might let you kiss me
You said you'd like to be my girl
I found a four-leaf clover
Before you passed my way
I pulled out a cigarette
You helped to light my way
Oh, it's the little things that lead us through the day
Oh, it's the little things that make me wanna stay
I found a job last Thursday
And I'll be leaving soon
But I'd still like to kiss you
In the red light of the moon
Oh, it's the little things that lead us through the day
Oh, it's the little things that make me wanna stay
Oh, it's the little things that lead us through the day
Oh, it's the little things that make me wanna stay

Five Bucks
02:47
|
|||
|
I'd rather save my friends
Or just myself
Just like life
Just like everyone else
I got five bucks
To put in the tank
I'll kick your ass
If you get in the way
I'm doing fine
I just started a fire
I saved my home
And watched the Forest burn
I guess I'll never learn
And if I do
I won't have the money
Get the truth out to you

One Go Around
by Jeffrey Martin
supported by 13 fans who also own “Another Burn on the AstroTurf”
Title track was the first I'd ever heard of Jeff's work and it struck me like a ten-ton hammer. Was a perfect fit for the small-town college I was attending at the time, not far from train tracks itself. Every time I hear this, I can see the amber light of the street lamps and think about a few walks I made around campus in the dead of night. Still haven't grabbed hold of the life I've been given as firmly as I ought to, but this song soothes my regret...and the chorus reminds me....

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house."

Arguably OK
by TK & The Holy Know-Nothings
supported by 10 fans who also own “Another Burn on the AstroTurf”
Just a really solid countrified indie folk rock album from top to bottom, in the vein of those early Deer Tick albums.
