Sweet Sweet Swallow

Good Friday
Friday was good.
I awoke from a deep deep sleep.
The nurse disconnected the electrodes
and tubes.
With a gentle woman’s touch
She told me I would be human
For a while longer.

The River
I
I know a girl
She liked to get kinky
She liked to get sweaty
And she liked to get stinky
She liked to make love
In public places
She’d wear loose clothes
And make funny faces
She liked to go down
on judges and cops
But then she got busted
And she had to stop
Take me down to the river…. And wash my sins away.
I used to run
With a dangerous crowd
We liked to get drunk
And we liked to get loud
Then one day
We got out the forty=five
Man I was lucky to get out alive
I hear Tommy’s
Still on the run
It’s a big price to pay
For a little bit of fun
Take me down to the river…. And wash my sins away.
Well Billy Bob
Didn’t think twice
’bout laying down
With his neighbor’s wife
Neighbor came home
Caught him in his bead
put two bullets
In Billy Bob’s head
Now poor Billy is
Dead and gone
Never got a chance
To hear my song
Take me down to the river…. And wash my sins away.
If I had a dollar
For every time you said goodbye
I’d build that dream house in the countryside
And if I had a dollar
For every time that we’ve made up
I’d be the richest man in America
But I don’t have a dollar
I’m just trying to make some sense
Of the craziness we’ve been going through lately
‘cause I can’t get no credit
For all the good things that I’ve done
I just get blamed for all the bad things
………………
If I had a dollar
I’d buy you a flower
And maybe you’d be happy for a little while
But being that I’m broke
All I got’s a song and joke
But maybe that’s good enough for you
But the only way I’m poor
Is if I can’t have you no more
‘cause babe when I’m with you I’m A Rich man
But if I’m broke or not
I’d give everything I’ve got
Just to hold you in my arms one more time
……………….
If I had a dollar
If I had a dollar
If I had a dollar
I’d spend it all on you
(repeat)
BIG TIME
Big time loser…Acting like he lost something he never had.
Big time boozer…He’s acting happy when really he’s sad.
Big time lover…it’s been a long time since he’s been laid.
Big time spender…spends all of his time trying to get paid.
But big times can be bad times when you find yourself alone… big times… never last long.
Little sally Johnson
lived up in Wisconsin,
But she never really liked the snow,
So she packed up for Hollywood,
She thought she’d be doing good
If she could land a role in the show.
But she got rejected,
And it came so unexpected
That she took off for parts unknown
Big times can be bad times when you find yourself alone…’ big times… never last long.
And then there’s Timmy tough guy,
He walked away with a black eye..
He didn’t make it into round two
But he showed up on that night
And he put up his best fight,
That’s more than most men ever do.
Big times can be bad times when you find yourself alone… big times… never last long.
And poor Bobby Jones
He’s all skin and bones
Trying to sell his artwork at the fair.
But no one was buying
So he just quit trying,
and focused on braiding his daughter’s hair
Big times can be bad times when you find yourself alone…’cause big times never last long.
big times…never last long.
big times …
never last long.

ONE MORE KISS
/audio]
I watch the lights fade as you leave the room
One foot already in the tomb
I hold your hand as you say goodbye
As I wipe off a tear from your eye
I know I’ll never see you again 
And never get to stroke your hair
I’ll never look into those eyes
And tell you how much I care
So let me ask one favor please
One more kiss before you leave
I don’t care if it’s right or it’s wrong
One more kiss before you’re gone
You’re just as pretty as the day we met,
The day I fell in love.
I’ll treasure every moment we have spent
As gifts from the lord up above
I promised to care for our baby girl
And I promised I’d never love again
So let me ask something before leave
Because I’ll never get the chance again…
So let me ask one more favor please
One more kiss before you leave
I don’t care if its right or it’s wrong
One more kiss before you’re gone.
They’re looking at me like I’m a freak
A stranger from a strange land
I’m crying so hard I can hardly speak
And I can’t let go of your hand
The lights are all out and the pain is through,
All I want is our baby girl
She’s all that I have left of you
And that girl’s going to be my world
So let me ask one more favor please
One more kiss before you leave
I don’t care if it’s right or it’s wrong
Just one more kiss before you’re gone
Waited
I stood on a mountain and looked down at the sea I raised my my head and fell down to my knees
I prayed to the Lord to forgive me for my sins He said “Sorry son but I think that you’ll do it again.”
So I climbed down the mountain and jumped into the sea I started drowning ‘til a mermaid rescued me.
I’ve waited my whole life to meet a girl like you. But now that I met you I don’t know what to do

The Light in your Eyes
I see the light in your eyes
It brightens up my darkened skies
You’re like a nude sunrise
I love the light in your eyes
I can’t wait, can’t hesitate
I might be late for something great
I love the light in your eyes
It shines right through my dark disguise
And it makes me realize
That there’s a truth behind my lies
I can’t wait, can’t hesitate
I might be late for something great
I love the light in your eyes………..
{Spanish}
I see the light in your eyes
It shines so bright I’m hypnotized
And it helps me realize
That there’s no reason not to try
I can’t wait, can’t hesitate
I might be late for something great
I love that light in your eyes
It shines so bright, so strong and wise
It makes me realize
That there’s no need for my disguise
I can’t wait, can’t hesitate
I might be late for something great
Deeter’s Prayer
Thank you lord for these eyes that allow me to see what others overlook.
Thank you for the ears that hear sounds that others cannot comprehend.
For the tongue that lets me savor the hidden fruits of your garden.
The nose that smells the wildflowers scattered about the path.
And skin to feel the private passions of a true love.
And now I ask you, for just one moment, to take it all away
So that I can be one with you.
