    This album is a Butte original, even if I am not...... I am glad to call BUTTE, AMERICA my home now, and there is a couple tracks on here that are amazingly true to the way the area makes you feel..... humbled but at home..... This album is also, for ever, dedicated to the 2 river rats that I originally moved here for that live out in Divide,MT, but suck life from Butte,MT. They did me wrong and can keep their ill-begotten money of mine! THANKS for supporting a new and real person to Butte, MT and all the original songs that I write, and that you don't take them for granted. THANKS AGAIN!

Times in Between 03:41
lyrics

Times in Between Watchin’ the rain Beat across my window pane Doesn’t make me sad Doesn’t make me mad Or make me blue Can’t you see the sun Shine thru the broken trees Doesn’t make me pale Make me stale Or want to leave Chorus Oh, can’t you see, LORD, nothing ever bothers me, I’ve had hard times, good times, and one’s in between(repeat) Verse You can’t stop the wind From dancing with your shears Unless you close your window And shut out all your fears You can’t stop a river From making its way You can slow it down Change its ground It’ll never stay Chorus Oh, can’t you see, LORD, nothing ever bothers me, I’ve had hard times, good times, and one’s in between(repeat)

High Roads and Hard Shoulders 04:11
lyrics

High Roads and Hard Shoulders High roads and hard shoulders Thought you’d treat someone bad Comes back to haunt you You’re all alone, it’s all you have High roads and hard shoulders Is a road of one-ways Stay fat, rich, and ugly You will be dead one day Chorus Have you ever walked alone Well one day you will Nothing results in nothing And the world just won’t stand still Verse High roads and hard shoulders Better hope you never break down It’ll be a hard way to the top When you’ll have no one around High roads and hard shoulders Take the time to look Might as well start giving Redeem yourself for all that you took Chorus Have you ever walked alone Well one day you will Nothing results in nothing And the world just won’t stand still

Wanna Go Home I wanna go home(repeat) Where I feel free And don’t have to roam I wanna go home(repeat) I am free As I wanna be I don’t have to do nothing That ain’t me I wanna go home(repeat) Chorus/bridge To a greener place Where there is a smell of rain in the air Verse Well the darkest clouds Can’t steal the light from the sky That is the twinkling light in your eyes I wanna go home(repeat) Look to the sky Not the burning ground You will find that You have been found I wanna go home(repeat)

River Rats and Pipelines River rats From outta town Bringing your good city down It happens all the time Don’t give em a chance Hold true to your stance Chorus We have created one F’ed up world We have created one FED up world Verse Progress will take your land Smack you down It’s their plan Their souls have been sold Stand up, it’s your life Worry for your kids and wife Chorus We have created one F’ed up world We have created one FED up world Bridge Pipe lines choke land and life Spew corruption, lies, and strife Politicians cover their ears and eyes Walk a real line Stand tall all the time Chorus We have created one F’ed up world We have created one FED up world Verse Smoke a joint, go to jail Feels a little like Hell Where in the world did we go wrong? Are fore fathers would say We have surely strayed Chorus We have created one F’ed up world We have created one FED up world

Stuck in Salina, Kansas 03:45

Salina, Kansas Stuck in Salina, Kansas A very lonely place in this land Trying to think of a way To get back at his ex-woman’s new man Just trying to do the best that he can Stuck in Salina, Kansas Getting kicked off the bus Getting a hotel if he can Drinkin’ a 12 pack of colas Buying crack from a one-armed-man Stuck in Salina, Kansas Trying to keep up with the rat race Only to fall far behind Jerky and smoked almonds Getting drunk on purple mad dog wine Break(solo) Stuck in Salina, Kansas Object of affection in his hand Lines on his face, friendless and busted Pleasuring himself to re-runs Of some episodes of Roseanne Stuck in Salina, Kansas Casino is where he will be Trying to make his modest riches Air mail a chocolate malt with extra malt And chicken fingers from the Bonanza Freeze Stuck in Salina, Kansas 32 channels on this TV Watching Law and Order And 24 hours of cutlery No better place for him to be Stuck in Salina, Kansas

Richest Hill on Earth 04:47

Richest Hill on Earth The richest hill on Earth Feels like the poorest in Hell Try so hard to be good And things don’t go so well Mine carts hauling away time Down a frigid rail What you know is not new What is sold is not for sale Chorus And, it’s a long way from home(3 repeats) But, it’ll be fine And, it’s cold, oh so cold(3 repeats) But, one day the sun will shine Verse This town is made by men Blood, sweat, and rock Might be the nails that you drove Sealing your pine death box So much cold and snow For so-so long Makes the hardest man brittle If he doesn’t right his wrongs Chorus And, it’s a long way from home(3 repeats) But, it’ll be fine And, it’s cold, oh so cold(3 repeats) But, one day the sun will shine Verse Lower me down to Hell On this gallows frame The warming of the day’s sun Will never be the same But, with this lingering cold What are we supposed to do Lower me down one more time Hope I come back to you Chorus And, it’s a long way from home(3 repeats) But, it’ll be fine And, it’s cold, oh so cold(3 repeats) But, one day the sun will shine
