Washed away all the soil He took a job in the town A half-sized Bull dozer She bags groceries To fight off foreclosure Chorus Outro

Make it Rain 03:54
lyrics

Make it Rain It’s been hot for forty days Can’t see the mountains through the haze Everything is turning brown What is lost just can’t be found Ashes ashes dust to dust Ashes ashes dust to dust Wash the car and hang my clothes Set out books that I don’t own Leave the paper drop the mail Pull up anchor hoist my sail Throw some salt and light a fire Hope it’s not a funeral pyre Chorus Make it rain Make it rain Can’t you hear the sweet refrain Thunder and lightning be thy name Say a prayer and paint the fence Promise total recompense Break umbrellas shorten pants Buy some cactus chant some chants Bless the ground and kiss the sky Dig a hole and bake a pie Was it something we have done The whole world’s on the run Is there a reason is there a plan Who exactly is in command What you tell me tell me please I’m begging you upon my knees Chorus

Tumbleweed 03:01

Tumbleweed Won’t you take me with you On that magic aeroplane Up there in the clouds With that gently falling rain Gone like the wind Troubles blown away Won’t you take me with you On that magic aeroplane Won’t you take me with you In that brand new automobile Rolling along with the radio on Behind that steering wheel Down to the mystic harbor Where the river meets the sea Won’t you take me with you In that brand new automobile Chorus I turned around to find The fickle winds of time Blowing me down the highway Like a ragged tumbleweed What of that young boy All his hopes and dreams Blowing along on the winds of time Like a ragged tumbleweed Won’t you take me with you On that electric high speed train Way out west where The Rocky Mountains greet the plains Free as a prairie breeze Troubles blown away Won’t you take me with you on that electric high-speed train Chorus What of that young boy All his hopes and dreams Blowing along on the winds of time Like a ragged tumbleweed

Mr. Jefferson 04:55
lyrics

Mr. Jefferson I see you standing on your hill In your garden with your violin I see you writing with your quill A lightning bolt of inspiration Clouds surrounding Monticello Your young wife is quickly fading You can hear the heavens bellow Or is it the raging fires of Hades I know you I don’t know you You’re a father to me You’re not a father to me Toss and turning in the dark Lost in sparks of wild abandon Troubled waters of the heart There are no boots that you can stand in Every generation Has to learn to wage its war Tear down the foundation Of what was built there once before Every generation has to write its declaration You can never give up Never give out Never give in Now there’s nothing more to sell Your great white horse is in the meadow Only history will tell The price you paid for freedom I know you I don’t know you You’re a father to me You’re not a father to me Mr. Jefferson Mr. Jefferson

Sweet Sonoma 03:56
lyrics

Sweet Sonoma I hear you calling Sonoma I hear you calling me I hear you calling Sonoma I hear you calling me From your rivers to your ocean I hear you calling me You’ve got the fruit on the vine The food and the wine You got that homegrown slow sense of time So easy on the eyes When I cross your county line I can lose your mind For a very long time I hear you calling Sweet Sonoma I hear you calling me From your rivers to your ocean I hear you calling me You’ve got the most delicious peaches Those cold sandy beaches I take a seat at your movable feast Those robin egg skies and those dark starry eyes I can lose my mind for a very long time I hear you calling Sweet Sonoma I hear you calling me From your rivers to your ocean I hear you calling me

My Father's Son 04:15
lyrics

My Father’s Son Your eyes between the lines of a book I write my observations down Your hands fixing something to cook I tend the garden ground I can hide I can deny But I cannot run I am my father’s son Your best friend was a shooting star My son bears his name You gave me my first guitar I never heard the world the same I can hide I can deny But I cannot run I am my father’s son You made it to that luxury liner It’s time to sail away Pork chops in the dining hall Balloons float by where the children play I can hide I can deny But I cannot run I am my father’s son

Cluck Old Hen #4 Traditional, lyrics by Dan Imhoff Cluck Old Hen cluck and sing Ain’t laid nothing since way last spring Cluck old hen Cluck and Squall Ain’t laid nothing since way last fall Sunrise breaks like a yolk at dawn Huge big machines are coming on One flew east and one flew west One stayed home to set upon her nest My little hen makes the rooster crow All fluffed up she can put on a show Red tail flying looking for a kill She hides beside the wagon wheel Chorus My little hen she’s a rare breed She only eats organic feed No GMOs No Frankenstein Monsanto ain’t no saint of mine Chorus Chicken in the oven chicken in the bucket Millions and billions ground up into nuggets Packed in a factory like canned sardines My little hen she should be mighty pleased All day long my hen roams free In the evening she comes back to me North winds blow kicking up the leaves Scattered around like brilliant dreams

Without You 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Without You Little bird at my window pane She’s here and then she’s gone again Like morning love in the thin mountain air Like the failing rain so quickly washed away Like Honey bee with its flower Whiskey with its sour Grains of sand counting the hours I am helplessly out of my mind over you Nothing is perfect Nothing is free Nothing ain’t nothing If it’s sets your soul free Like a beast with its burden Like a priest whose belief is so certain Like a thief hiding behind every curtain I am helplessly out of my mind without you If I was deaf dumb and blind I’d climb mountains to find you I’d turn over every leaf and every stone Like a bone with its marrow A wheel with its barrow An archer taking aim with his arrow I am helplessly out of my mind over you I am deaf dumb and blind Climbing mountains to find you Going out of my mind

Rooftop Girl 04:20
lyrics

Rooftop Girl Rooftop Girl wants to make the rooftops green Rooftop Girl wants to make the Earth’s lungs clean Rooftop Girl bowl of coffee and pencil in your hands Rooftop Girl a world of potential at your command Green roofs Grass and flowers Let them bloom on every tower Green roofs Grass and flowers Let ‘em bloom from every tower R Rooftop Girl seventeen stories high Rooftop Girl your own climate in the sky Rooftop Girl fruit trees and garden beds Rooftop Girl honeybees buzzing on a window ledge Chorus Someday the concrete is gonna crumble The plants are going to rise—ever so humble Someday these facades are gonna tumble Someday Rooftop Girl turn on your radio Rooftop Girl the ice is melting don’t you know Rooftop Girl with your sunbeams and your curls Rooftop Girl let those leaves and petals unfurl Green roofs, Grass and flowers Let them bloom on every tower Green roofs and solar power Light your room and heat your shower Green roofs Grass and flowers So much more than the question of the hour Green roofs, Grass and flowers Let them bloom

Sweet Liberty Sweet Liberty Won’t you take my hand Sweet Liberty I’ll die to defend this land Sweet Liberty Won’t you take my hand Your purple mountain majesty Above your fruited plain I have to tell you honestly I love it when you call my name Sweet Liberty Won’t you call my name Sweet Liberty Bullets fall like rain Sweet Liberty To be lost in your arms again Sweet Liberty Don’t let me die in vain Your purple mountain majesty Bombs bursting in thin air I see you smiling down at me And your flowing hair Sweet Liberty At the top of the stair Sweet Liberty Please lie by my side Sweet Liberty I’ve got a pain that I cannot hide Sweet Liberty Please lie by my side I hear the wagon coming for me Lay me in the blood soaked ground My country tis of thee I’m lost, will I be found Sweet Liberty Lay me in the cold cold ground
