ENOUGH
Won’t you tell me why the rich get richer
And the poor still sleep in the street
Why the working class gotta bring home a pay check just to eat
And nobody wants to speak out
For fear of losing what little they got
Everybody knows you don’t get to the top talkin’ shit to the boss
Won’t you tell me why the politicians are puppets on a string
You wanna find the man behind the curtain gotta follow money
‘Cause black is white and left is right
And might ain’t never been wrong
Well I heard it all before in a Woody Guthrie song
You can call me crazy
Tell me I’m outta touch
But don’t tell me we got it easy
‘Cause I do believe I’ve had enough
Won’t you tell me they push the pills
And cast a shadow on the weed
‘Cause a chemical is what they need
If they wanna make that money
So trail the sky, spike the water with fluoride
I thought I told you son no one gets out of here alive
You can call me crazy
Tell me I’m outta touch
But don’t tell me we got it easy
‘Cause I do believe I’ve had enough
I was born American and Texas is my home
And I’ll be damned if I’ll sit around and watch it go up in smoke
‘Cause in the home of the brave
And what’s left in the land of the free
They’ll be some good ol’ boys waiting for ya
'Hind every big oak tree

Come What May

COME WHAT MAY
Hard times hit us all
Better find the wherewithal
Gotta get up and fight another day
‘Cause life spins round and round
One day you’re up the next you’re down
And you know it’ll always go that way
You gotta get up and fight another day
Everyday
Come what may
Everyday
Ever look up at the moon and stars
Ever wonder just who you are
Ever wonder ‘bout who is ruling you
Who in the hell went and made you king
Leaning on divinity
Trying to tell me what to hear and what to see
Everybody’s gotta fight to be free
Everyday
Come what may
Gotta find your way
Come what may
Everyday
Been down this road before
Been through them swinging doors
But I can’t say that I know the way
So don’t you go and follow me
You got your own destiny
Everybody’s gotta find their own way
Gotta get up and fight another day
Everyday
Come what may
Gotta find your way
Come what may
Everyday

One Day

ONE DAY
One of these days I’m gonna find my way
Leave the back roads for the interstate
Gonna drive these blues away one day
Gonna find the wind at my back
Gonna drive a big ol’ caddilac
Cross them ol’ railroad tracks, one day
One day, one day
Gonna find my way
One day
One of these days I’m gonna find the light
And stop worrying bout what’s wrong or right
Just might get what’s mine one day
‘Cause what the devil wants, the devil gets
But I ain’t running for President
I just wanna go my own damn way
One day, one day
Gonna find my way
One day
One of these days I’m gonna find my way
And there won’t be no more hell to pay
Gonna kick these blues of mine one day
I ain’t gonna holler, I ain’t gonna scream
It’s gonna happen to me naturally
And cryin’ about it won’t do no good no way
One day, one day
Gonna find my way
One day

YEA YA RIGHT
I was born in the city of bayous
But the city took the “me-oh-my-ohs”
And cooked up them Geto Boys yo
And made Willie D an H-Town hero
Yea Ya Right
And I owe it all to New Orleans
Seven years old down in The Quarter
Brass bands bangin’ in my eardrum
Never did want to go home no
Yea Ya Right
Now I’m eatin’ them hill country peaches
And finishing my rice and beans yes
Educated on Waylon Jennings
And Thank God that Willie keeps livin’
Yea Ya Right
Robert Earl Keen, Townes Van Zandt
Kermit Ruffins and The Rebirth Brass Band
Napoleon and Tchoupitoulas
It’s where I got me guts to do this
Yea Ya Right
