honey, I'm well versed
in text book history
Davy Crockett bullshit
manifest destiny
high on top of a mountain
all across the seas
everything my eyes touch
belong to me
but don't you march down no trail of tears
while the oceans burn and the wild west disappears
my conviction is firm and the Lord made my vision clear
I was born to be king, king of the wild frontier
Jesus Christ and Tonto
we ride deep
deputized by Jackson
we're the winning team
the department of labor
we're as thick as thieves
we're taking all of your paper, honey
you're taking all the heat
but don't you march down no trail of tears
while the oceans burn and the wild west disappears
my conviction is firm and the Lord made my vision clear
I was born to be king, king of the wild frontier
marching round the front lawn
musket in my hand
I point it at all the neighbors
before they touch my land
it's a bear, it's a savage!
it's a socialist plan!
I'm quick to pull the trigger
at what I don't understand
but don't you march down no trail of tears
while the oceans burn and the wild west disappears
my conviction is firm and the Lord made my vision clear
I was born to be king, king of the wild frontier"

Give it a Try
03:29

let's go where the road ends
let's just get in and drive
I need a little vacation
from this state of mind
you can call it escapism
call it what you like
just take a break from the traffic
of the world passing by
'cause the sun is gonna com back up until the end of time
and you can only give something up once you give it a try
when it all comes back around, it's you that decides
and if you feel like waking up, you're doing just fine
you're doing alright
color me impatient
trying to write these lines
putting words to the feelings
I still can't define
you ain't gonna beat it
couldn't f you tried
but you can't let it break you
or push you aside
'cause the sun is gonna com back up until the end of time
and you can only give something up once you give it a try
when it all comes back around, it's you that decides
and if you feel like waking up, you're doing just fine
you're doing alright

Mud
02:56
|

we're all trying to get ahead
jumping hoops, neck and neck
out here in the employment lines
we all do what we can
for some soup, for some bread
I'm looking out for me and mine
so if you wanna lay the blame on me
take aim at what you just don't see
if you're ready to let it fly
here's mud in your eye
now the knife is out the sheath
and the bit is between your teeth
you're itching to start a fight
set the pace run fast
break neck, or break back
I'm willing to stand aside
so if you wanna lay the blame on me
take aim at what you just don't see
if you're ready to let it fly
here's mud in your eye
you know that living in worry
brings death in a hurry
the hole you dig is where you're gonna lie
try to walk with the truth, in second hand shoes
either way I think that you're gonna find
a little mud in your eye
so if you wanna lay the blame on me
take aim at what you just don't see
if you're ready to let it fly
here's mud in your eye

Season of Strange
09:49

well look who awoke to a season of strange
a pillar of smoke hanging high above the range
cracking a joke, enacting the age
while searching for growth out of the past decay
as much as you grow, you're still gonna make mistakes
as much as you earn, you still got debts to pay
what do we learn? Lord I just can't say
all that I know... is we're a long, long way from yesterday
going for broke on the open plain
recalling a time, a time that has passed and changed
you dig n the dirt to remember your names
while weaving a rope of fire, earth, & rain
as much as you grow, you're still gonna make mistakes
as much as you earn, you still got debts to pay
what do we learn? Lord I just can't say
all that I know... is we're a long, long way from yesterday
a distant voice is calling...
an ancient voice is calling...
a loving voice is calling...
your mother's voice... she's calling
well look who awoke to a season of strange
a pillar of smoke hanging high above the range
cracking a joke, enacting the age
while searching for growth out of the past decay
as much as you grow, you're still gonna make mistakes
as much as you earn, you still got debts to pay
what do we learn? Lord I just can't say
all that I know... is we're a long, long way from yesterday

Oddfellow's Picnic Oregon
Oddfellow's Picnic came together by circumstance... and food. All members met while working at an organic farm in the south Willamette Valley. The band forged a bond in the fires of food, community, and rock and roll. The music is an embodiment of that. ... more
