Feral Ways
2007
I’m just outstanding in my field…
Just sniffin’ the wind …
I’m outstanding in my field…
Ready for my night to begin …
Got lots of cats to see…
In my feralcat way…
Might go down to the farm…
Start a feraljam there…
Might go down to the farm …
Come on in if you dare…
Gonna send the mice runnin’…
With my feralcat ways…
Might go check on the kittens…
In my own feral way…
Gonna work on some kitties…
In my own feral way…
Trying to impress the kittens -…
With my feralcat ways…
Gonna take on the dogs…
That happen my way…
Gonna take on the dogs …
Its their unlucky day…
Gonna send ‘em all runnin’ …
With my feralcat ways….
Going feral all the way now…
Going feral all the way…
Going feral at the farm …
Each and every feral day…
Gonna send ‘em all runnin’…
With my feralcat ways…
Ain't Shedding No Tear
2008
(Chorus)
My baby just left me this mornin'
said she was going to for years....
My baby just left me this mornin'
said she was miserable for years....
My baby just left me this mornin'
I ain't shedding no tears...
v1
Helped her by packin' her bags
That slammin' door is music tomy ears...
Helped her by packin' her bags
That slammin' door is music tomy ears...
Helped her by packin' her bags
I ain't shedding no tears....
(Instrumental)
v2
My baby just drove away in her car ...
I'm waiting for the dust to clear...
My baby just drove away ...
I'm waiting for the dust to clear...
My baby left in her car
I ain't shedding no tears...
(Chorus)
v3
My baby says she's not coming back
That she would is my biggest fear....
My baby says she's not coming back
That she would is my biggest fear....
My baby ain't comin' back...
Even if she does, I'll be gone...
(Chorus)
Pair a Dimes
2007
I know things 'bout the same as I did a year ago..
But I know things different from 20 years down this road.
Yeah I know things differently now...
I see(know) things differently now.
v1
Don't know when its really gonna hit ya...
Don't know when a change is gonna come.
Don't know when the friend you took for granted...
Won't be coming around again.
(Chorus)
Yeah I know things differently now...
Yeah I know things differently now...
v2
Don't know when she's coming 'round the corner...
Don't know when your heart is gonna fall.
Don't know when everything you wanted...
Will be standing right outside your door.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Paradigm shift don't happen everyday...
But when it does, you'll never think the same way.
Wonder how you used to think like that...
Now the new seems a matter of fact.
(Chorus)
v3
Don't know when the feelings gonna grab ya..
First time I held you in my arms.
Tiny hands and feet--I never will forget it...
Rockin' lullaby till we drift away...
(Chorus)
v4
Don't know how much things gonna cost...
Don't know when your time is gonna come.
Don't know when your buildings gonna fall down...
Don't know when your storm is gonna come.
(Chorus)
Talk to the Kitty
(Words and music by Sam Thompson
copyright 1987)
Me and my baby, we can’t agree
She talks to the kitty, but not to me
Talk to the kitty,
Talk to the kitty,
Kitty, kitty, kitty,
Kitty, kitty, kitty,
Better talk to the kitty
‘Cause my baby won’t talk to me.
I don’t know what’s botherin’ her anyway
She won’t talk and the cat won’t say
I went out wanderin’ on my own
Had to get my own pet on the telephone
She won't email and she won't text--
and that damn cat ain't talking yet.
I’m not sure when and I don’t know how,
All I know for sure’s I’m in the cat box now.
I think we might get it together yet,
She sees a shrink, I see a vet.
Me and my baby, we can’t agree
She talks to the kitty but not to me.
TIMBERWOLF (paul tweed)
I can see the Northern Lights come shining...
Through the darkness from above...
Look at the stars spinning round them...
The winter is here with us my love.
The old man rose cold in the morning...
Frost is silver on the sage....
Whiteness it comes without a warning...
The old man turns another page.
Timberwolf, he cries, all alone he runs the big trees...
To the lakes he runs in freedom all day...
And the cold has come again to bring bitterness and pain...
And the wolf....he laughs at us again..................
Laughs at us again.
Due North my travels must be summoned...
The time has come for where I belong...
The icy winds they will awaken...
Due North I know its where I belong.
chorus
Gunshots I here them in the silence...
Break through the daylight all alone...
For miles they run with reckless abandon...
And at night you can hear them sing their song.
chorus
Well the fire burns bright here with my baby...
Cabin is covered deep in snow...
And the Northern Lights keep on shining...
Everything is quiet down below.
Everything is quiet down below.
Everything is quiet down below.
Triple Keith2009
Muscle car’s got no muscle.
Roof’s about to leak
I can’t fix ‘em I know that
But I know who I should seek.
Door’s need replacing
Windows do too...
Don’t be thinking with your dipstick Jimmy
Cause he’ll be laughing at you.
(Chorus)
Triple Keith…Automotive
Triple Keith…does Construction too Triple Keith…Automotive
Triple Keith…Construction too He’s got wisdom beyond his years
And he can build a house.
Grew up in a bluecollar town
In Wisconsin’s south.
I got bamboo floors, lights that work
I got more projects to start
When I can’t find it, I go to him
And he just makes me that part.
Chorus
He can build you almost anything
A log cabin too
He’ got a list of things that he says
They all have a lesson to you.
He’ got all kinds of tools to do the job
Says you need the one’s that’s right
I say he’s got a screw loose
And he says they are all tight.
(Chorus)
Triple Keith…Automotive
Triple Keith…Construction too
Triple Keith thinks like an Egyptian
And he wonders what they would do.
Triple Keith…Automotive
Triple Keith…Construction too
Triple Keith thinks like an Egyptian
And he thinks that you should too.
A Good Waltz (2011)
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz .
I was in eighth grade and you were the same age.
But you were the one that was the talk of the town
We grew-up together… just kids in a tree house.
But by this age we had drifted apart.
But now you grabbed my hand when the record player spun round.
You said, “come on now, -- lets dance”.
And I followed you to the middle of the gym floor
And we danced to that old country waltz…
(and we sang) Dance with me 1 2 3 , dance with me 1 2 3.
We danced to the old country waltz.
She said—
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz.
We shuffled our feet, hand in hand to the beat…
My shaking hand resting on your hip…
My head swirling round … elated, I guess,
You couldn’t have known how I felt.
But you didn't know how you saved me that day
This wallflower caught in quicksand.
When you grabbed my hand and record player spun round
And we danced to the old country waltz.
(And we sang) Dance with me 1 2 3 , dance with me 1 2 3.
We danced to the old country waltz.
She said—
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz.
And now its years later and we happen to meet
And we laugh about all of the grey….
You say, “do you remember the day on the gym floor
We danced to that old country waltz?”
(and I sang) Dance with me 1 2 3 , dance with me 1 2 3.
We danced to the old country waltz.
She said—
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz anymore.
No one writes a good waltz.
