Jubal's Song 03:41
Jubal's Song (Gwyneth Moreland & Skyler Hinkle) Standing in the rain's no way to fix up my hair But you're not standing with me so why should I care Walking in the mud's no way to shine up my shoes If you were walking with me I could dry out these blues Went to our old hideout no one knows my name It's true that I can hide here but it just isn't the same I've still got your number in my phone There is no use in calling because I know you're not home Just like the mountain and the mole I'll drink my fill 'till I'm full One bright and dusty morning when the rains all done Sometimes I can't believe it was all just for fun I'll peel off my old jacket and kick off my shoes And see what I can do about drying out these blues Yeah, see what I can do about drying out these blues Just like the mountain and the mole I'll drink my fill 'till I'm full Twist turn and pull I'll walk this road 'till I'm whole

Ride To Mexico (Skyler Hinkle) Something pulls me like a wire, chills me like the rain I'd cleanse my soul with fire, I'd run and change my name It's as close as mountains far, it's across the great divide We're just soldiers in their war, drunk and wounded we will ride So saddle up your horse so fine, and I'll saddle mine leave it all behind Ride to Mexico, never thought we'd go Days move so slow, and the sun dips low Ride to Mexico Took the keys to our front door, and we threw them to the sea Never felt so free and poor, never kept such company Left a babe asleep so fast, left a dough that's set to rise Left a mark that just wont last and no limit to these skies So saddle up your horse so fine and I'll saddle mine, leave it all behind And turn your face, the sun will rise They'll tell you lies, sever all your ties Ride to Mexico, never thought we'd go Days move so slow, and the sun dips low Ride to Mexico

Girl In the Gulch (Skyler Hinkle) Rain taps the glass like a song in the night Turn to the west and I hold my babe tight Girl in the gulch she won't let me alone Far and away and apart from her home Girl in the gulch can I hear you or is it my own mind? What would you give just to have all the things that you left behind Ferns for her dress and the moss for her hair Moves in the night not a worry or care Got no family no kin to hold her heart down Screams through the night when there's no one around Some nights I lay and I dream that I'm her No worries no cares hold me down to this earth Cold like the mud in the gulch I would lie And scream from below at the world passing by

Country Nocturn (Skyler Hinkle) Moon in the sky makes the trees so bright Pale white clouds on a summer's night Ground feels warm and the air up above Fills up the wings of a turtle dove Owl in the trees makes a scream of the harshest order Picks up a mouse in the sky just to fill her larder Turtle dove makes her nest too small One little babe from the tree will fall The other two babes just sit and cry One to the other says "mud in your eye" Pa get your gun there's a fox broken in the larder Fox gotta eat in this world we got law and order Fox got away right back to his den Fed up his little ones 8 9 10 Fox to his kits said "The grub's running low" Let's look for a turtle dove out in the snow Owl in the woods makes a scream of the harshest order Picks up a mouse in the sky just to fill her larder Moon in the sky makes the trees so bright Pale white clouds on a summer's night Ground feels warm and the air up above Fills up the wings of a turtle dove

Beggars Would Ride (Gwyneth Moreland & Skyler Hinkle) No one can wish the full sun to back up No one can wish full a dry empty cup You can't wish a donkey to a steed so fine So I guess I'll just sit here an wish you were mine You can long for a bed so soft of fine down You can long for a home with a hearth and a hound You can long for the home that you left at the start But I guess I'll just sit here and long for your heart You can take what you've got hold it close it's your lot Or forsake what you've got leave your leavings to rot, leave your leavings to rot If wishes were horses the beggars would ride If wishes were horses the beggars would ride You can hope for your garden to cover the soil You can hope there's an end to the sweat and the toil You can hope for the sweet rain to fall from above So I guess I'll just sit here and hope for your love You can hope for a dream that you're having to end But the last hope we have is the hope of a friend If wishes were horses the beggars would ride

Wolf 04:20
Wolf (Gwyneth Moreland & Skyler Hinkle) Late that night beneath the pale blue moon Turned down the lights, shut the door to my room And lay down my head for to rest, Lord feel that weight on my chest Wandering soul thru the woods dark and drear On the wind I can hear you draw near Touch on my skin and your voice in my ear On the wind, I hear you draw near Sky opens up and the stars start swirling You and I among the moss and heather grey Wrap my hands in your hair, fingers twirling Don't care if I ever see the light of day Your lips on mine, feel the pressure from the earth Teeth from your lips pierce my throat thru to it's girth And all that I see now is grey, there's no good left in me, I pray Moon on skin makes your face look so pale You stand above me like some monster of old Queen of the forest like an old fairytale Waken to know my love will leave you cold Branches snap as my feet float above Wind blows cold as it carries away I gave you my life when I gave you my love Don't care if I ever see the light of day Your lips on mine, feel the pressure from the earth Eye's pale as stone, like a strange and ancient curse And all that I see now is grey, there's no good left in me, I pray

Last Night I Had a Dream (Randy Newman) Last night I had a dream You were in it and I was in it with you Everyone that I know and everyone that you know was in my dream I saw a vampire, I saw a ghost Everybody scared me, but you scared me the most In that dream I had last night In that dream I had last night In my dream It started out in a barnyard Everyone was laughing, you were lying on the ground You said, honey can you tell me what your name is? Honey can you tell me what your name is? I said, you know what my name is Last night I had a dream You were in it and I was in it with you Everyone that I know and everyone that you know was in my dream I saw a vampire, I saw a ghost Everybody scared me, but you scared me the most In that dream I had last night In that dream I had last night In my dream

Fury Town 03:46
Fury Town (Skyler Hinkle) Sleep is on our babe, and the sun is in our yard Why's that work seem so hard, even sleep on our guard The face we show to others, never quite so bizarre See the lines from the wars, and our heads in the stars And everything on earth has got a reason And any other thought we had was treason And if you'll look you'll see, this ain't a fix we're in And maybe then our true lives can begin The times we blame each other, it is all worth the pain Is there so much to gain, are you feeling the strain We both bought these tickets, so we're gonna ride the train Feeling just a bit insane, so we'll sing this refrain True lives of fury town

All I Wanted 02:50
All I Wanted (Skyler Hinkle, Gwyneth Moreland, Johnny Burke) Got my back to the wall All around me they fall and yet I don't They say I will but I wont I'm like a moth to the flame We play this life like a game, but it's alright When you're holding me tight Cause all I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you You can swing from a star Carry moonbeams safely home in a jar Better off than you are I make a promise to you That I will always be true, and that's a fact What do you think about that? Cause all I wanted was you All I wanted was you All I wanted was you Our days march on through fields of time Good friends we've lost, good friends we'll find Our time is short, that much is true But I don't care Cause I've got you Yeah I've got you I've got you

Don't Make A Sound (Gwyneth Moreland/Skyler Hinkle) If I bumped into you I'd get right off the street Sometimes I've had a few, there's worse ones I could meet Can't see you there when you're walking down the boulevard Good thing you're not around there's not much on the shelf Except for these bottles, yeah, I bought them all myself Can't make a sound cause you're not around when times are hard Don't make a sound It's all you've got When you come around Except I know you're not I think I'll go downtown my car don't seem to run Go to that part of town, I go there just for fun I'll see who's parked around maybe there's someone waiting for you I know you're busy I can't really say the same If there's a winner, I don't know if it's a game I guess you see me yeah you must I just keep driving by Don't make a sound It's all you've got When you come around Except I know you're not

Gospel Plow 02:38
Gospel Plow (Traditional) I've got my hands on the Gospel plow And I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now Keep your hands on that plow of God Hold on, Hold on Keep your hands on that plow, Hold on Well, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John All those prophets are dead and gone Keep your hands on that plow of God Sister Mary was bound in chains And every link was Jesus' name Keep your hands on that plow of God
