You thought that I would always be a square Now I’m running in circles for you I’ve always lived my life inside a box And you’d never know it My hands they move so slow just like a clock’s And I hate to show it The clouds, they tell the story of my life They’re always rearranging Like my mind, always changing Building something I’m not And you never know it Yeah you never know it Yeah you never know it You thought that I would always be a square Now I’m running in circles My feet are live, there’s fire in my hair And I don’t care So I run, I run, I run, I run, I run Yeah I run, I run, I run, I run, I run I’m running to the edges of my mind But I’m scared because I don’t know what I’ll find But on the way I hope to see Some kind of sign that points me To the place where I wanna be So I run And I run Yeah I run, I run, I run, I run, I run Yeah I run, I run, I run, I run, I run Oh I run, and I run, yeah I run And you never know it Yeah you never know it Yeah you never know it You thought that I would always be a square Now I’m running in circles My feet are live, there’s fire in my hair And I don’t care The clouds are floating right on past my house And they don’t look back The sun is sleeping, quiet as a mouse And in this shack I run, I run, I run, I run, I run Yeah I run, I run, I run, I run, I run Oh I run, I run, I run, I run, I run Yeah I run, I run, I run, I run, I run

Morning Time 02:42
lyrics

You just might find what you’re looking for If you only come along I guess what I’m trying to say this time Is you’re not where you belong The world can be a rainy day If you let it pass you by Now get some sleep before it’s morning time Sticks and stones might break your bones But you can always find your way back home You can try to find that perfect rhyme Or you can settle for one you know Bricks and boulders might break your shoulders But you’ll never get left behind And now get some sleep before it’s morning time A diamond in the sky And it shines on you and I Now get some sleep before it’s morning time There’s something about the way you’re made That makes you stop and wonder why Some birds seem to have all the fun While some never see the sky Clouds are swirling in your mind I see the rainfall through your eye Now get some sleep before it’s morning time Now get some sleep before it’s morning time Now get some sleep before it’s morning time

Moonlines throught the blinds of my window I must be doin’ ‘em wrong They never stay very long I’ve been tryin’ to rest my eyes, but what do I know? I must be doin’ ‘em wrong I must be doin’ them wrong I feel like I’ve been here for such a long time I’ve been losin’ my mind Just thinkin’ of you Runnin’ through my brain like a dog without a name I can’t call you You know I can’t call you I’m just tryin’ to understand I’m just tryin’ to understand I’m just tryin’ to understand I’m just tryin’ to understand I’m just tryin’ to understand I’m just tryin’ to understand I’m just tryin’ to understand I’m just tryin’ to understand Moonlines throught the blinds of my window I must be doin’ ‘em wrong They never stay very long I’ve got music on my mind wherever I go I’ve been singin’ the same old song The same old song Na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na Na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na Na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na Na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na Na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na

I’m getting out of town, baby, can’t you see I’m on the run? I’m going down to Scaggsville, with my guitar and my gun Don’t you follow me, baby, my days with you are done I’m as crooked, babe, as these keys I play I was raised by a dog, in the shade of my papa’s grave I don’t go lookin’ for trouble, the hand I’m dealt is the hand I play Ain’t no use cryin’, tears ain’t gonna fix my debt I’ve seen a whole lot of bruisers, ain’t none of them stopped me yet I was born a tramp, and I’ll be runnin’ till the day I’m dead I was born a tramp (I was born a tramp) I was born a tramp (I was born a tramp) I was born a tramp (I was born a tramp) And I’ll be runnin’ ‘til the day I’m dead (runnin’ ‘til the day I’m dead)

Yeah the horse I ride don’t care much for talkin’ And the friends I keep don’t care much for me I’d have gladly sat on that rock forever If she would have stayed there right next to me 
Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in I said, hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in Hey now, hey now, hey now Hey, hey, hey Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in I’ve sold my soul for no more than a dollar And I’ve killed for gold once or twice by now I’d never seen a girl as sweet as her before I guess I thought it would all work out somehow Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in I said, hey now, hey now, hey now Hey, hey, hey Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in They walked me down that long, long, hallway And they sat me down in that wooden chair I asked the man for one kind favor “Would you tell my ma I was hit by a train somewhere?” Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in I said, hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in Hey now, hey now, hey now Hey, hey, hey Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in Just let me in Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in I said, hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in Hey now, hey now, hey now Hey, hey, hey Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me Pete, just let me in

Days 06:48
lyrics

I saw the wind today A silhouette of what I was yesterday I dug myself a shallow grave I told myself I was okay But how much longer shall I wait Before I leave it up to fate To fate Days and days and days go by (Days and days and days go by) The trees turn gray and so do I (The trees turn gray and so do I) The tears may bleed from these old eyes (The tears may bleed from these old eyes) It proves to me I’m still alive Alive You ask me now where I am going But I hardly remember where I’ve been And if it seems like I’m a little grim It’s just because I need a friend A friend Days and days and days go by (Days and days and days go by) The trees turn gray and so do I (The trees turn gray and so do I) The tears may bleed from these old eyes (The tears may bleed from these old eyes) It proves to me I’m still alive Alive One of these days my shame will die I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly To fly Days and days and days go by (Days and days and days go by) The trees turn gray and so do I (The trees turn gray and so do I) The tears may bleed from these old eyes (The tears may bleed from these old eyes) It proves to me I’m still alive Alive I’m still alive

Waiting 04:22
lyrics
buy track
I wait for this storm to pass me And I look as it slowly stirs the sea I croaked at the hand of a tortured soul Now I’m stranded and doomed to pay my toll While my body sinks down to sea Shackled to the deck I tried to walk the plank But these chains around my leg they hold me back I lie awake at night just wishin’ I could sleep Some say the sea is angry But I say it is just unkind Oh, torment, you are no friend of mine At first the sky filled with clouds was a sight to be seen But after a while my eyes they yearned for a light to shine in between Oh, captain, may I be excused, please? These chains ain’t for me, I think you’d agree And this driftin’ boat has seen enough of poor me I pray for the end, but I know it will never be

about

about

Hundred Yard Smash image

Hundred Yard Smash Bel Air, Maryland

Hundred Yard Smash is most accurately described as the synergy of balls-to-the-wall rock, McCartney-esque melody, and James Brown swagger. It's the Rolling Stones meets Michael Jackson. It's D'Angelo in Nashville. Most importantly, it's rock, pure and simple, the way it was meant to be. ... more
