Windy Point (unfinished)

(by K. Brown)

Theres a reason we're called Windy Point
like what you've never seen

And it ain't because the boys all had
their fill of steak and beans

You can see those clouds a formin'
And rollin' from the North

Rockin' like a hurricane
from the Sault to Presque Isle Port

It might of been the 5th of May
Or maybe was the 6th

Keep On Keepin On

(Don't Wait For The Dogs To Come Home)
(by K. Brown)

You can't take back
what you done wrong
Best you can do
is keep keepin on
try to do better
try to do right
try to do what your Mom would like

Da doo doo doo, Da da da da
And keep on keepin on

Sittin here readin
all the fake news
in my Facebook feed
from friends I thought I knew
but now I don't know
Now I aint sure
if whats news is news
and whats yours is yours

Da doo doo doo, Da da da da
And keep on keepin on

Have me a boy
we don't say too much
he thinks I'm just
an old such and such
grass is blue
sky is green
tomatoes is tomattos
from what I seen

You can't take back
what you done wrong
Best you can do
is keep keepin on
try to do better
try to do right
try to do what your Mom would like

Da doo doo doo, Da da da da
And keep on keepin on

Sure would like
to kick back some
but the high cost of livin
got me feelin low down
Try to save a dollar
only make a dime
give it all to the wife
most the time

Da doo doo doo, Da da da da
And keep on keepin on

One of these days
and it wont be long
This old dog gonna
get out and run
Try to catch a rabbit
Try to dig a bone
Probably lose his mind a little
before he gets home

You can't take back
what you done wrong
Best you can do
is keep keepin on
try to do better
try to do right
try to do what your Mom would like

Da doo doo doo, Da da da da
And keep on keepin on

Just keep on keepin on

Don't wait for the dog to come home
Just keepin on

(UnTitled)

(by K. Brown)

I been left standin' by the road
I been left out in the cold
and now, I ain't got nowhere left
that I can turn
I let my soul go wander
left my mind out over yonder
and now I can't seem to find my way
back home

Could I ask you for direction?
Could I beg for my redemption?
Just a favor that could maybe
help me through
Push the door back open
was all that I was hopin'
on my way to find my way
back home to you

Back home to you
back home to you
been a long hard road
to get back home to you

True Believer

(K Brown)

My brother he's a God fearin' man
My Momma been doin' alright
Since Daddy's 10 years buried
might see him bye and bye

You ain't no true believer
til you been washed in blood
least that's what momma told me
guess I ain't been washed enough

By day I work the furnace
that makes the cold steel hard
from fire good and hot as hell
but just make you old and tired

At night I hear them haulers
as they go rollin' by
My baby's good and gone
and I hang my head and cry

Which way do that highway run (lord,lord)
Which way do that highway run
come mornin' time I'm leavin'
And I'll be good and gone


(reference Charlie Jordon - Dollar Bill Blues)

Bernadette

by KB Brown

(guitar lick)

Bernadette
slinkin' around
makin everybody
wonder where you come from

Bernadette
look what you done
Come'n in here
like you own the town

Oh my lord
here comes Bernadette
shes a sashayin'
like a game she's playin
(with) the other girls they all hate her,
just sayin'
but the boys love Bernadette

Bernadette
pretty little pout
all those other girls
feelin' strung out

Bernadette
cattin' around
shake em all up
run em all down

Oh my lord
here comes Bernadette
shes a sashayin'
like a game she's playin
(with) the other girls they all hate her,
just sayin'
but the boys love Bernadette

Bernadette
are you stickin around
the other girls say
please make her leave town

Bernadette
pretty little pout
all those other girls
feeling left out

Oh my lord
here comes Bernadette
shes a sashayin'
like a game she's playin
(with) the other girls they all hate her,
just sayin'
but the boys love Bernadette

Bernadette
slinkin' around
shakin that tail
like to come unwound

Bernadette
with your cattin' around
Come'n in here
now look what you done
