It’s time 01:39
Don’t Focus On The Pain Don’t Ever Give Your Name Why Don’t You Alone Bring Silence On The Tube Well Its Time Its Time Don’t You Ever Sterilize Don’t You Ever Open Eyes Why Don’t You Alone Bring Silence On The Tube Well Its Time Its Time

Salt Queen 03:29
High and dry the Queen is gone today Suddenly the tears fell down their face Hitting hard like a ton of bricks Feeling real well there ain’t no tricks, free Close to the end but still so far away Coming on strong like a hurricane Delta waves nuts and kerosene Traveling on we’re off to be free It was a mighty score, all over the moon I wanted so much more, it’s all gone to soon Tell them all the things you’d say, Their probably true through and through In the kitchen looking for salt today Suddenly the tears fell down my face Hitting hard just like a ton of bricks Feeling real well there ain’t no tricks, free Close to the end but still so far away Coming on strong like a hurricane Delta waves nuts and kerosene Traveling on we’re off to be free

Buttercup 02:13
Wake me up – buttercup it’s early in the morning Bottom’s up – you little pup you’ve been giving a forewarning And I know – oh – that it’s real And so - oh – that’s the deal Lets get away – go today - an island in Tahiti You and me – it’s all I need will live next to Warren Beaty And I know – oh – that it’s real And so – oh – that’s the deal Jonny’s on – Zacks the bomb – Higgins rips the bass tonight I’m all set ready to blast away – away Wake me up – buttercup it’s early in the morning Bottom’s up – you little pup you’ve been giving a forewarning And I know – oh – that it’s real And so - oh – that’s the deal

Your sentence is weak it feels incomplete with all of those words in my head Feeling so slow from yesterday’s blow wishing for something instead Time to run away, hail a cab it’s time for holiday Summer solstice for you, fall in the line that’s right 2 x 2 Pterodactyls today fly away Forming a life with no harm or strife counting the bugs on the wall Ran into the storm with my old buddy Norm living it once and for awhile Time to run away, hail a cab it’s time for holiday Summer solstice for you, fall in the line that’s right 2 x 2 Pterodactyls today fly away Your sentence is weak it feels incomplete with all of those words in my head

Away 03:29
Conscience here to stay holding my mind, Twine in a ball today hard to unwind But I’ve got feelings in a big way, I don’t know what I’m saying Don’t give you love away Fog is in the way blurring the line, Should we go or stay, always on time But I’ve got feelings in a big way, I don’t know what I’m saying Don’t give you love away Hearts break, no ones free from pain its only Heart ache, riding down the road it’s lonely We’ve got some time on our hands today Conscience here to stay holding my mind, Twine in a ball today hard to unwind But I’ve got feelings in a big way, I don’t know what I’m saying But don’t give you love away, don’t give you love away

Bravo my boy 03:09
Bravo my boy, I see you're off into the distance Bravo my boy, we won't forget you all the way Running around and playing are the memories in my mind Something always brings my back to a certain place and time Always sweet and kind we will miss you Bravo my boy, along with Jedders in the morning Bravo my boy, I won't worry you're ok Running around and playing are the memories in my mind Something always brings my back to a certain place and time Always sweet and kind we will miss you Bravo my boy, I'll see you later down the line Bravo my boy, a schmoopy ginger all the time Running around and playing are the memories in my mind Something always brings my back to a certain place and time Oh its funny how our spirits will always be entwined Always sweet and kind we will miss you

Hard times 01:53
Daddy don't you love us Momma don't you cry Tending corn every night and day Yelling cussing screaming never even try Daddy please don't ever go away Ridin in the summer sun right on the horses back In the fields just trying to make our way Yelling cussing screaming trying to stay on track Daddy please don't ever go away It's hard times in them hills that we live All the time its work with no play Yelling cussing screaming all I own in a gunny sack Daddy please don't ever go away Daddy don't you love us Momma don't you cry Tending corn every night and day Yelling cussing screaming never even try Daddy please don't ever go away It's hard times in them hills that we live All the time its work with no play Yelling cussing screaming all I own in a gunny sack Daddy please don't ever go away Daddy please don't ever go away

No more bad behavior, no more signs on the walls I was guilty of pleasure, all 4 corners of the globe No more mystery, no more world unknown No more history, although minds fell We conquer 1 or 2, and the road was in disrepair Which way to, which way to despair We conquered 3 or 4 and the road was in disrepair I will go on forever, I will go on forever
10.
Just like a beautiful dawn You here your gone All the laws of life Remember all the beautiful nights The sounds the sites One big giant dream We’re all just passing through Oh we’ve got nothing to do We’re all just passing through It’s like a little tiny parade A life changing brand of charade Every single time Riding on the vertical plane Are we normal or insane No one really knows We’re all just passing through Oh we’ve got nothing to do We’re all just passing through tonight Kissing the night away Saying the things that we say I don’t really wanna go ahead but what can you do We’re all just passing through Oh we’ve got nothing to do We’re all just passing through tonight
11.
Another day and so you pray, you gotta lift it up and hope it’s gonna stay, Well you gotta give, if you wanna live, electric boogaloo and dance the night away And when you hate today, nothing’s going your way You gotta see, beyond the trees, remember all the things you loved and really believed And what to do, ohhh that’s up to you, But if you go away the pain will always remain Love will turn the tide, bringing smiles instead of cries I’ve got something to say, stick around don’t run away, Let someone else know, all the things you don’t show, let someone else know…let someone else know One day you’ll see, we all agree, the little tiny ones that live and let you believe And then they grow ohhh, and then there’s more, what a life to live Im so glad I was able to see Where from there, say a prayer and slowly breathe the air, Love will turn the tide, bringing smiles instead of cries I’ve got something to say, stick around don’t run away, Let someone else know, all the things you don’t show, let someone else know…let someone else know

It’s new 03:57
When will we ever meet again, haze creeps into the places that I've been I'm told to always trust a friend, begin the past and the future holds the end And it's new well it's all brand new It's new its so hard to chooise It's new its all brand new And so we gather up our things, fly home while warming up our wings Invent the dreams that we once had, things change when the boy becomes the dad Well it's new well it's all brand new It's new its so hard to chooise It's new from red to blue And when the eagle soars the mountain side Shadows down below Scans the land when he's way up high Blocking the sun from our eyes What's a poor boy supposed to do Don't you remember your name When it's all left up to you It's new well it's all brand new It's new well it's all brand new When will we ever meet again, haze creeps into the places that I've been I'm told to always trust a friend, begin the past and the future holds the end And it's new well it's all brand new It's new its so hard to chooise It's new from red to blue

My life 03:07
A smile to a cry in the blink of an eye all we had to do is try for our fantasy Llama's on the way, flying in to save the day load her up and make some hay it's our chance to see Hey - I was wrong but never did I know all day long The vision that I see in my eyes will never be lonely all my life my life A smile to a cry in the blink of an eye all we had to do is try for our fantasy Llama's on the way, flying in to save the day load her up and make some hay it's our chance to see Hey - I was wrong but never did I know all day long The vision that I see in my mind will never be lonely all my life my life

Johnny fell in love dear with the rage and the people that run Johnny fell asleep back in the war Johnny's driving home dear near the bend near the old canyon run Johnny is sinking through his floor Slippery red rocks get out of my way, Johnny ain't going out like that 72 pickup is flying away, Johnny ain't coming home tonight I say fly and bye bye bye bye and goodnight Colors of red dear and colors of gold Heat like the sun raged down that day Feelings were lost dear and feelings were cold Rather an ugly time I'd say There was fire int the canyon, smoke in the sky Forming a rabbit playing bridge From the bed of the pickup, a novel read dry Pages are raining off the ridge I say fly and bye bye bye bye and goodbye Well he had a brother and he had a mother Tell her that you love her and you'll see her in the winter Clouds they came and grabbed her now he's going out to find her Their dancing there forever always flying around together

Younger days 02:31
Look at our faces all starting to fade, thoughts in my head are slowly melting away Run off to bed, start drifting away from our younger days The time it was around the 4th of July I saw fire coming at me got hit in the eye Running around………….. trouble in town in our Younger Days We’ve got something they don’t, we’ve got our dreams All the lonely nights are not what they seem We ran around like the wolf and the moon Put a quarter in the juke box at the batshit saloon It was day to day all the way back in our Younger Days Almost made the longest leap in the land, with a corduroys jacket and a smoke in my hand Feeling no pain riding the train of our youngers days We’ve got something they don’t, we’ve got our dreams All the lonely nights are not what they seem Memories leave and often go away Love will guide you home and always remain

I’ve got the rhythms right over my head and I wonder will I see all the people

Falling asleep in the dark it doesn’t matter, matter Little bo peep trotting around with salamander, the commander Running away off to grannys in the morning, tomorrow morning A journey for days we will defy all the warnings, the terrible warning When I get with you I feel a long time gone Wander away let it take you where it wants to, whever it wants to Don't misbehave pay attention to the too too, the beautiful too too When I get with you I feel a long time ya when I get with you I feel a long time well when I get with you I feel a long time gone

Hyannis Port 01:51
Living alone in Hyannis Port, nothing to do there no one to support But me, a flea and a burgler from TV Fade to black and I want to cry, telling stories reaching for the sky For you, me too and whoevers in the crew It's time to see everything pointed at me Well I was a pilot back in the parade Bring him home bust out the drums and trombone It's the answers to all of your dreams Living alone in Hyannis Port, nothing to do there nothing to support But me and the tree and my lovely cat Stevie I was away I was given up loving simple nothing to pickup on you
20.
Over there 02:00
Well you you over there, you're very darn special And me me in my chair with some stripes and some shackles You you with that hair you with those eyes that dress and that stare You don't need me but I sure need you You don't need me
21.
Here comes trouble just looking at me she's got 2 litlle hands and 2 little feet she's got 3 in the bucket and 4 in the bag See the tallywacking circus and the chemical flag Well fee fi fo the fee to the fum we drink Yellow sasparella with some tropical rum We dip our toes in the water and call it a day And tell the crazy poets all the things they should should say we we got 2 in the oven, we got 2 in the oven Salamander swirls all up in the sky Casting pretty shadows on my lovely cherry pie I've got 2 in the oven and one on the rack Twinkle toes grizzly bear on the attack Well the people wanna run, the people want to hide Waiting for the worlds of KAMIKAZES to collide The animals will struggle, the people all will snuggle The aliens arriving in a massive glowing bubble got 2 in the oven, they got 2 in the oven
22.
Mountain road late at night high above the moon shines bright Round the bend to Varney's house and On the way big blue suburban popped a leak LIke ants we grabbed the goods packed in tight continue down the street Through the trees up to the wood house up on the hill Music ringing through the woods onward there's minds to fill now A night filled with the stars enough shine to drop a whale The night is moving right tomorrow this will be quite a tale quite a tale Time for bed oh I don't think so no not tonight These bears are watching us watching them hot damn boys pick it right now - and there it was Crazy Lonesome in the hills Salt Creek back in the house lightning bugs and friends brought some thrills Fortune came, Kip gave the hat upon his head, 3 lights lit up inside UFOs commencing we said Then I smelled it, bacon frying in the pan old Blake he smelled it too He looked at me and said Varney's the man

Twilight 04:45
She’s got a love a love that is greater than most of the one with the eyes up above, oh it’s the little things Remember the time back when we fall asleep on the wings of a flying dove Trying so hard getting back down on the road closer to the home of the heart, oh just a little further now. Blessed be the child sees all the light in the world and never sees one cloud She’s got the light but I got the fire I gave it all burning desire I want it now oh Before the dark of the night ya in the twilight Towing the line right down the middle we roll safe from the edges and sides oh hand me a blanket now Pastrami on rye these are the things we eat when we get old and when we die She’s got the light but I got the fire I gave it all burning desire I want it now oh Before the dark of the night ya in the twilight She’s got the light but I got the fire I gave it all burning desire I want it now oh Before the dark of the night ya in the twilight Do you want it all mountains in money so make the call this shit is so funny I want it now before the dark out the night back in the twilight back in the twilight
24.
Gonna let go, on the beach tonight That little black shore is on the way With a fire in your eyes, you can do anything Become your own soul, one you believe With a bucket and a knife, coming down mainstreet Just trying to save a life, beyond the way It's a double edge sword, round the bend tonight Trumpet and your Lord, along the way

It was a long day on the railroad tracks east of Boston south of South Dakota

I will live 02:47
He was a Culleoka Boy, in the land of the cantaloupe and them big old whipper wills She sang choir in the band from a time far away up the holler through the rollin hills Here we go runnin away to be free but nobody told me Some of us well just ain't our cup of tea From the land I will live for me Yet I wait for one more to join me
27.
In the sea something swallowed me and I fell to the lava ground Purple Lilys had the ice to melt my heart and now it's shaken me To try and cry out Fading city from the plane I ride from the west to the east Right now I'm free above the stratosfere far above gravity life Down here we go, down here we go Barking birds begin to beg and breathe and boss me back to my broom With a thunderous light in the clear of the night and the timing was right with the fall of the sea and the moon And I know when she goes its the end of the day in the backyard that looks like a seven Don't you see where's my eyes where's my ears where's my heaven In the sea something swallowed me and I fell to the lava ground Raccoon and squirrel ya
28.
You will enter the ship from here, nice to see you please hop on board Yes sit down there is nothing to fear We move forward in one accord Won't you write down your name and location you wish to go Back to the time when you were 5 and running free out in your dreams

Flashback 02:05

about

I have lots of musical ideas and many do not get the full attention and proper recording they deserve; however, I do try to always make a decent demo version with the classic Trappers Cabin touches for the archives. I’ve assembled 27 songs & ideas from throughout the years that have never landed on an album yet. So, instead of them taking an eternal rest in hard drives they now have a home here on the Trappers Cabin album appropriately named Rough Draft.
