Johnee Jingo
He was just fifteen, he was a new trainee
He lied about it for the opportunity
To defend the border his life was sworn
Though not a generation was native born
Johnee jingo
Johnee jingo
He had lost the battle but won the war
When the generals said he couldnt fight no more
He was proud and bitter at what hed done
So he passed it off to his favorite son
Johnee jingo
Johnee jingo
Jingo dont you fight for me
Jingo dont you speak for me
To the man who owns the land
Were all the same
But when his grip begins to slip
Then hell be calling out your name
Johnee jingo
And the throne, the pulpit, and the politician

Love's A Mystery
Real, almost real
I could feel the life flow into my veins
Done, now it's done
I have fallen for the final time
I can't get up again
Love's a mystery i don't understand
Love's supposed to make you glad
Tell me why i feel so sad
Love's a mystery i don't understand
I won't see you anymore
And if that's what love is for
Then i don't understand
Free, now you're free
You don't need me
And you don't want what i give
(baby here is my heart)
Please, help me please
'cause if life is made for hearts in love
Then how am i to live
Love's a mystery i don't understand

Be Nice To Me
No catch, no strings
None of the usual things
Im happy just to lay and look
Lets throw out the book
Now were off the hook
And please just be nice to me
Wont you be nice to me
So tired, so sad
So sick of being had
By everyone who comes along
Would it be so wrong
If you played along
And please just be nice to me
And would it bring you down if I hang around
Just be nice to me
Its been a long, long time since I felt so fine
And I know your love is fine
I know whats on your mind but
Dont laugh, dont cry
Dont make me wonder why

Cool Fire
I remember, but I dont remember
I was captured, I was hypnotized
Look away from the cool fire
Look away, you could burn your eyes
Take it easy, cause its much too easy
To surrender, to be drawn inside
Look away from the cool fire
Look away cause you might go blind
Look away from the cool fire
Look away, look away
Its satan who is calling
Look away, look away
Listen to my warning
Look away, look away
From the light of the cool fire
All my fortunes, all my strength and power
Taken from me before I realized
Look away from the cool fire
Look away cause you might go blind
Look away from the cool fire

Little Red Lights
You got to ease into line boy
But once I hit the open road
Ill be sailing off and on my own
You and me in my gt
With those little red lights in front of me
When I go to heaven you know thats where I want to be
Would you please fill it up boy
Id like to stop and catch myself a bite
But I sure hate to leave the road tonight
Instrumental in 3 movements: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear.
And when Im racing the clock
You know that I would die or kill somebody
Just to move this hunk of steel one more block
Spoken (with mild disdain as one gropes for the
Stick):
I think I see a little red light in my rear view mirror
A terrific case ensues, resulting in many highway
Statistics and ultimately, the realization of the
Desire expressed in the chorus. rip

Wondering
Life is always strange
You just get used to it
Once in a while something reminds you
Then your forget about it
It's all over...
Heard it at the coffee shop
And on the radio
it's all over...
They're talking at the trolley stop
And everywhere I go
It's all over
All of the suffering
It's all over...
All of the other things
I know it's all over now
But for the wondering
We could change our minds
But what's the use of it?
If there's a thing we haven't tried
Too tired to think about it

The Range War
Yore daddy runs sheep and mah uncle runs cattle
Nothin can keep us out of this battle they wage
As it burns up the range, til no man is left
In the saddle
Yore ranch is upstream and they dammed up the water
Thirsty cows scream for mah uncle to slaughter
The sheep while yore daddys asleep
And I do the same for his daughter
If I had my own way, we would be together
Back in pittsburgh
Its the only town east of the river I know
And I feel kinda bad, bringin our grief
Upon this pore old farmers house
But we aint got nowhere else to go
Three years on this range since they started the range war
Nothing has changed except maybe change for the worst
If Id married you first,
There might not have been any range war
You wouldnt be lost to the range war

Bang On The Ukelele Daily
I dont want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I dont want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Ever since I was a tiny boy
I dont want no candy
I dont need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing til I got
Blisters on my hand because
When I get older they think Im a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher wanna dance
And thats why
Listen to this
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated
The boss is a jerk
