Goin' My Way
©2012 Greg Everett
Verse:
She was walkin down the street
When I saw her pass by
She was lookin' oh so sweet
And she caught my eye
She had me at first glance
Wonder what she might say
If I were to take a chance
Could she be goin' my way?
Chorus:
Goin' my way - Yeah, goin' my way
Could she be goin' my way...?
If I were to take a chance
Could she be goin' my way?
Verse:
I was watchin' every move
Had to pause for awhile
Like she was struttin' to a groove
In her enchanted style
I just got to take a chance
To see what she might say
'Cause now I'm thinkin' romance
If she's goin' my way?
Chorus:
Verse:
I knew she was purely class
By the clothes she wore
Opportunity may pass
I can't wait anymore
I just got to take this chance
To see what she might say
'Cause now I'm thinkin' romance
If she's goin' my way?
Chorus:

Times I Remember
©2012 Greg Everett
Verse 1:
Seems like only yesterday, 'round nineteen fifty five
Big brother took me fishing and later taught me how to drive
And navigate to see other points of view
By asking, "how'd you like it, if someone did that to you?"
Chorus:
The times I remember (I can't relive again)
Great times to remember (think of where I've been)
The times I remember (over so many years)
........................................
Verse 2:
The first time I lay next to her - etched in my mind
But I walked away not knowin' - what I might have left behind
I went out and played sweet music, and everything was right
On a stage draped in passion - for everyone's delight
Chorus:
Verse 3:
I raised a little girl now grown with a family of her own
All we share between us, I will never be alone
But if given the chance to go back in time
And relive these precious mem'ries, you know I'll have to decline
Chorus:
They're only times I remember...

Durango
©2012 Greg Everett
Verse:
A three day beard and black hat, shoulder guns and chaps
And a horse that’s built for ridin’ long and hard
With the gold from Durango, on it’s way to Mexico
And the outlaw, its self appointed guard
But he’s in for the run of his life
With the marshall right behind, and always in sight
Chorus:
He could’a rode on through Durango
He took a wrong turn tonight
He should’a rode on through Durango
He picked the wrong man to fight
Verse:
White hat and white horse, and white pearl handled guns o’course
And a reputation spreadin’ far and wide
Well everybody’s heard, he’s the best, that’s the word
He won’t give the outlaw any place to hide
But he’s in for the run of his life
With the outlaw makin’ ground, it’s hard to keep him in sight
Chorus:
Verse:
Well he’s got his man so many times, but now he’s laid it on the line
It’s been years since anyone has dared
There’s a weight upon his shoulders, he can feel he’s gotten older
His reputation may be more than he can bear
But he’s in for the run of his life
With the outlaw makin’ ground, it’s hard to keep him in sight
Chorus:
(He could’a rode on through Durango
He took a wrong turn tonight)
Yeah he’s in for the run of his life
With the marshall right behind, and always in sight
Chorus:
(He could’a rode on through Durango
He took a wrong turn tonight
He should’a rode on through Durango
Now someone’s got to pay with his life

Quicksand
Chorus:
I was drowning in quicksand until I fell in love with you
I was sinking deeper and deeper and there was nothin' to hold on to
And I know that I'd be a long gone man if you weren't there to pull me through
'Cause I was drowning in quicksand until I fell in love with you
Verse:
Now through all my troubles and all of my toils I never knew what happiness was
'Cause I'd hang around with all kinds of girls, that's what loneliness does
And like a quicksand hole that grabbed onto my soul I made the same mistakes it's true
'Cause I was drowning in quicksand until I fell in love with you
Chorus:
Bridge:
I was on the wrong road
I missed all the signs
I was stuck in a hole
But then you threw me a line
Verse:
Well now the years gone by, I can look up in the sky and thank my lucky star
Until you came along I had lived oh so wrong but that's all I knew so far
And then you threw me a line and time after time I found it led me out of the blues
'Cause I was drowning in quicksand until I fell in love with you
Chorus:

Winter Roses
©2012 Greg Everett
Verse
Thorns in the frost, stiff in the wind
Life is lost in the cold
Accumulatin’ snows bury the rose
And the souls of the young and the old
Verse
Winter’s a lifeless place in the mind
Where nothing can grow or be free
It lowers the pose of the proud summer rose
And the lifeblood that everyone needs
Chorus
Wouldn’t it be a miracle if one day we could see
A rose that would bloom in the snow
Giving life and love all through the year
Winter roses
Verse
I’ve seen what the cold and the winter can do
To a rose that once was in bloom
But life must go on, though the living is gone
And the snow hides the rose in a tomb
Chorus

Earthlings
©2012 Greg Everett
Verse:
To have been an earthly traveler, back in twenty ten
To have seen the wild and felt beguiled by scenes that never end
Remote lands untouched by man, where beasts still ran free
And air so clean the sparkling skies, must've been somethin' to see
Verse:
There were trees and bees and scents to please from flowers everywhere
There were crystal seas and the poles would freeze in the dark, icy air
From polar bears to penguins and swooping cranes in flight
From outer space, that deep blue haze must've been quite a sight
Bridge:
But it was all destroyed for money, all in the name of greed
The ground is scorched, radiation torched and burned all future seed
They tried to restore the forests, too late to supersede
Lost for the sake of money, gone in the name of greed
Chorus:
So self-serving, undeserving, no reversing stupid Earthlings
Self-serving, undeserving, no reversing stupid Earthlings
Lead:
Chorus:
Verse:
Shoulda given back, but all they did was take
They were smart enough to love, but dumb enough to hate
Pyramids they built all ended up the same
They filled the till but their spiral drilled out the heart of their domain

Chorus:
Doodle ooo doo doodle oodle ooo doo doodle oo doo doo doo
Doodle ooo doo doodle oodle ooo doo doodle oo doo doo doo
Verse:
In the shadow was the spider, his web spread out beyond
In the bushes on the shoreline just above the pond
In the water down below him, a ripple in the light
And a mayfly leaves the water to make her maiden flight
Chorus:
Verse:
And it's brand new for the mayfly, the air beneath her wings
But the spider thinks of delicacies nature often brings
And the mayfly stopped so suddenly as if she'd struck a wall
She couldn't seem to fly away, she didn't even fall
Chorus:
Bridge:
And the spider leaped to let the mayfly know his fatal bite
But the strand that held the mayfly broke away
So the spider sees the mayfly fly on outa sight
But he knows that's not the only one today
'Cause in the water down below him, a ripple in the light
And a mayfly leaves the water to make her maiden flight

Ain’t it the Truth
Verse:
I grew up trained in self-abuse
Then I found out, that’s no excuse
How ironic, now I’m amused
Chorus:
Ain’t it the truth
Ain’t it the truth
Verse:
Nobody listened when I’d call
So nobody knew when I’d fall
And no one noticed when I could barely crawl
Chorus:
Bridge:
Fessin’ up to all my fears
I realized, I’m just a man
My reflection brought to tears
Ain’t it the truth, ain’t it the truth
Verse:
Right from the start, I’d lost the beat
I followed the rhythm of my deceit
Thought I was sum’um, found incomplete
Chorus:
Verse:
I thought I fooled all, I sure fooled me
I couldn’t see real in a world of debris
Cleanse my heart, and set me free
Chorus:
To embrace the truth
Ain’t it the truth
Bridge:
Chorus:
