Go I'll Go 03:03
just before i leave to go i am not sure what to do my things are everywhere but i can't pick up the room i'll go outside and write my spirituals about my last race i'll sit and watch my feelings melt themselves at their own pace go i'll go again go all by myself won't tell no one else it helps to open up my seams let it all come out and all by myself i'll melt been on this book for weeks but i can't make it through a page built a nest in every room but there's not one place i'll stay i'll go outside and write my spirituals on my mom's deck i'll take a pen and mark a grade upon my last test go i'll go again go all by myself won't tell no one else it helps to open up my seams let it all come out and all by myself i'll melt

Stepped into the garden after midnight For a taste of some white light Like I had had before Talked to the master at the prayer gate Sat at his feet and his stone cape And tried to breath his theme I was ready to move I was ready to move Come on come on and move me I was ready to move I was ready to move Come on come on and move me We met and shared a bottle at the j. clyde I liked his mind I liked his sweet smile And things were fresh and new That summer night he lead me to the river After the swim I sat and shivered And waited for the kiss I was ready to move I was ready to move Come on come on and move me I was ready to move I was ready to move Come on come on and move me (guitar solo) you keep the tea cups you keep the t-shirts you keep the numbers you keep the notes you take a walk now you make a phone call you pull your hair back you love your fun you love your fun--- I was ready to move I was ready to move Come on come on and move me (4X)

Keep it on the go Girl you aint got time to spare A hundred needs and a million cares Look out below She’s got nothin’ but a life to spend She’s climbing ladders to the might have beens Before her lifetime’s spent She’ll make it real again Share a little piece Don’t you like it with your fruits are used? So get to givin after you’ve produced It’s time to save a seat so run the relays with the ones who won their chairs are ready and they wait in front this is what you want so get it done Cause she’d been placed On a surface made for sinkin To the bottom of the vase And so and so and so-oh She would chase What was good and made for keeping And a way to slow her pace Before they went away Find a patch of sun Don’t you ‘member bout the space between Sittin still givin’ rest to dreams It’s time to stop the run And drink some water with the ones that wait You’re so much fuller when you clear your plate It’s time you sat and ate Made full your fate CHORUS Sat down and takin’ in This is of the full life Build shapes and fill them in This is of the good life CHORUS Keep it on the go Girl you ain’t got time to spare A hundred needs and a million cares

I found my voice Over Gillian Welch Wet eyes in the screen light The longin’ we felt I found my voice Over Gillian Welch Wet eyes in the screen light The longin’ we felt If I could take your heart Outta your chest Flesh in my hand Pushed through my breast I’d have your heart beat Inside of mine I’d have your longin’ I’d give you mine I found my voice Over Gillian Welch Wet eyes in the screen light The longin’ we felt It’s like the way you pictured your mother in the 70s Bike wheels on the sidewalk, bare-feet, southern street, oak trees Ridin down 13th in her blue jeans to the university She crawled through the window, front row, rock show, soul glow She found her joy With the allman brothers band Her baby boomer parents Could not understand She found her joy With the allman brothers band Her baby boomer parents Could not understand She married at the young age of 18 No need for career No completed degree yet she spent hours in the library her life always full, with always more to read she found her joy in the museum of art regardless of her losses she would still have this part she found her joy in the museum of art regardless of her losses she would still have this part when you’re down and feelin lonely you’ll have all the things that you have built for yourself If you ever lose your man or your wealth You will always have the things you built yourself (2X)

Waiting for things to come You wake to the morning sun Your book’s out; your light’s left on Here’s another one You’ve just begun She won’t let you call her phone Familiar became unknown You swim in the things you done You lost another one New life has come And on another ride on another night You take the feeling And now you’re kickin after another dive Towards the healin That has not set in We’ll I’ve done laps inside my room Fought currents of college rule But I got out that endless pool Friend you can too Put down the bathing suit

Move On Out 02:20
Let’s work it out Let’s talk it over In the parking lot I’ll write it down In my notebook Boy, we gotta move on out Let’s let it out I’ll lay it down On the blacktop Don’t give a goddamn If there’s people out Boy, we gotta move on out Found our way back Stronger than when we had left I’m giving him things that are new And the things that I kept He took ten laps Suddenly he’s come ahead I’m wanting him more And he’s laying me down in my bed Let’s work it out Let’s talk it over In the parking lot I’ll write it down In my notebook Boy, we gotta move on out

Slip knot let me out Just before I missed out On what it’s all about Kite frame let it’s line out The wind it said the time is now The time is not to dip out Sit back, what’s the fighting for? Rain came and now you ask for more Look at your push Watch for that pull Palm grip let slack the reigns Lay off those words, those frames Sometimes your thoughts outweigh the hand So won’t you keep the box off the man Flipped cards showed a match Suddenly I’m kicked back There’s joy in my dispatch New grounds found unmapped Are making me turn dials back I doubt the tools inside the guide pack Wait, seed, there’ll be no forcing soil Your hopes cannot create the growth Watch with your heart Let go your toil Palm grip let slack the reigns Lay off those words, those frames Sometimes your thoughts outweigh the hand So won’t you keep the box off the man Woman, hold onto who you were before him The brightest fire, an ocean’s roar then, A tameless wind, go on then
