Wheels

(by K. Brown)

Been a longtime since I watched the sky
washed in red
and set on fire
And heard the sound of nightcall
singin' like a Sunday choir
Been on the road for so long
my soul boys is gettin' tired
wheels roll on
and take me back
hear the highway song

fire in my head is raging
cinder stars in the sky
the vision where my love is waitin
set my spirit flyin

Big night sky
lookin out
through endless starlight
whisky keeps me warm at night
dancin in moonlight
Been on the road for so long
my soul boys is gettin' tired
wheels roll on
and take me back
hear the highway song

fire in my head is raging
cinder stars in the sky
the vision where my love is waitin
set my spirit flyin

Campfire smoke
is swirlin'
rising like a ghostly shroud
speak the truth
and ease the pain
highway roll me on

Cold night sky
she grips me
struggle with the binds of men
til the highway song
she'll release me
til I gain control again

Interstate
roll along
end up in my bed tonight
whisky raging in my head
dancin in the moonlight
Been on the road for so long
my soul boys is gettin' tired
wheels roll on
and take me back
hear that highway song

(bluegrass break)

listen to the highway song
Harvest moon hang in the sky
the vision where my love is waitin
wheels let me fly

("Dollar Bill Blues" for reference)

Miners Lullaby

(lyrics: James Low, arrangement: K. Brown)



Sing little bird
Sing for the skies and your freedom
'cause its dark in this hole and our bodies have bonded
Yours to the miner and mine to the coal

I came from the cradle
of clear southern pine
You from across the wide ocean
Do you remember of your former life
I've heard it's a Garden of Eden

They say that the mountains
were made for this life
God made these hands just for workin'
Did God make your wings to be caged in the mine'to ease my poor mind with your singin'

Sing little bird
Sing for the skies and your freedom
'cause its dark in this hole and our bodies have bonded
Yours to the miner and mine to the coal

Now sleep little bird
Dream of your skies and your freedom
'cause its dark in this hole
and Im too tired to shovel

Planet X

(by K Brown)

Planet X
Is a rollin up fast
Like a black lead sled
On a big salt flat
That Old Planet X
Is a rollin up fast
Gotta run gotta go fast
Or just no way Im gonna last

What is that
Fireball up in the sky
What the hells that all about
People wonderin why
Neighbors on their knees
On their knees and cryin'
Better run, better go fast
Or you aint gonna last

Got these bills
but I aint got no cash
If I dont hurry up
then i think I'm gonna crash
What is that
Fireball in the sky
If it gets here quick
Maybe that'll save my ass

That big old fireball
Come a flyin up fast
Gonna have to run, gotta go quick
Or I aint gonna last
you got no chance
If you got to ask
Gotta run gotta go fast
Or just no way Im gonna last

Planet X
Is a rollin up fast
Like a black lead sled
On a big salt flat
That Old Planet X
Is a rollin up fast
Better run better go fast
or you aint gonna last

oooooo - wheeee

Look Away

(by K. Brown)

If theres one thing Ive learned
Its that time dont ever stop turnin
Better not look away
From your yearnin
If youre gonna see the light of a new day

Start livin for today
yeah start livin for today

Its a hard life
Almost everywhere you look
Dont look away
Its an open book
Waitin for the pages to be turned

The travellers burden
Weighs heavy on some
Dont tell me do you look away?
At the end of the day when daylights done
Cast a little light my way

Take a load off
I hear what theyre sayin
Then i turned for minute looked away
On my knees and prayin
Throw a little love my way
