Turn on the fryer Heat up the oven Write the prep list A new day is a-comin Workin six days straight For eleven hours Had to get up at four Just to take a shower Mop the floor Take out the garage Sometimes I wish I had gone To college But I’m working on the line, baby All the time, honey Working on the line, sweetheart For the rest of my time, sugar Working on the line All the time Yes I’ll be working on the line Till the day I die The day I quit smoking Was the day I lost my break And now I got more time To slice these grapes Elbow deep in chicken And don’t you know Can’t stop sneezing Got to blow my nose 25 steaks in the oven Every dang one got a Special something Chorus 10 buck an hour Don’t get you too far I guess that’s what Overtime is for I burned my hand Just the other night But I got another So I’ll be alright I must have fed About a million souls Im souls Im so sick of food I can’t eat anymore Chorus

No Time 03:14
We will never see the end And no one Was here to see it begin Time rolls on How strange to think we know What’s going on When we leave this earthly home Life will roll on And on and on The wheel keeps on turning The past and what’s to come No end discerning All points in time This infinite measure Deadlocked by mind From whole we are severed One is one and all is one And only Only one can be alone And lonely Reflections show one face And so we Reveal ourselves in this moment of space Wholly This now this now Will be like no other This time this time Will not hold us forever All points all points Become one put together No time no time When we come back together

Rainy Day 04:17
There’s something special about a rainy day A rainy day What can I say Feeling grateful for the times we’ve had to play In any way In any way Drops keep falling on my window We all go as the wind goes Moments caught in time Fill this heart of mine The last words you never knew you’d say You said anyway Said anyway How bright were those yesterday’s In the gaze Of today Chorus Time comes memories start to fade What can I say You’ve gone away Feeling grateful for the times we’ve had to play In any way In any way Chorus

Just a bit more Just a bit more They always tryin to get Just a little bit more Down at the gas pump And the grocery store They always tryin to get Just a little bit more More and more Folks ain’t got much more But they still tryin to get Just a little bit more Take it for nothing Sell it for a buck Leave the land wasted Time to pack up Wrap it in plastic Save a dime No more washing dishes Who’s got the time Just a bit more Just a bit more Always tryin to get Just a little bit more Pillage and plunder Death by the score People tryin to get Just a little bit more Sell you some fear Profit from war Killing off people For a little bit more Way up top There’s a big ol pile Enough to fill an ocean You could swim down a mile A few funky fellers Sitting pretty rich Thinking just a bit more Might cure my itch Just a bit more Just a bit more Always tryin to get Just a little bit more Don’t tax the rich No tax the poor Yes always tryin to get Just a little bit more That ol snake Back in days of yore Tellin Eve to try and get Just a little bit more More and more Folks ain’t got much more But they still tryin to get Just a little bit O just a little bit More than the day before And the day before that Just a little itty bit more

Nothing’s sure, nothing is for certain Certainly But feelings tell, which way feels right Give a little and see the world grow brighter Incrementally Purpose is a reflection of the light Expectation only confines reality And reality Only exists between our sights Yes we’re all just on a little Journey Aren’t we? I wonder where we’ll land Thank you for this moment of limitation Stationed Seeing only what we can How did we, how did we get so lucky So lucky To hold infinity in our hands Seeking will only obscure reception The deception Is that we lack At all Value can be found in the experience Of the impermanence It is the sustenance That drives us all Chorus

If I die tomorrow I’ll be happy with today I did what I felt like Let no fear get in the way All of these feelings Begging to be free All of these thoughts Saying they shouldn’t be Each one has received A separate destiny No form will repeat Endless individuality Finding perspective In between designs Of the past lessons Of countless living lives Surrender to the calling Find the freedom to be Embrace the truth Of the uncertainty Oh life isn’t strange When you see nothing is the same Each moment is ordained To be new at every stage Each step is an ocean Each breath a thousand years Infinite moments Make all paths unclear Always moving Compelled to play your role Your place has found you You may not need to know Here it comes again The end embrace the end The light and dark are friends To receive you must first send If I die tomorrow I’ll be happy with today I did what I felt like Let no fear get in the way

Fuzzy wuzzy little leaf Big yellow flower Rising up in between Grows by the roadside Always there to find Roll it up and take a puff You won’t get high on This Kinda stuff Just makes you feel better Takes away the bad You can breathe easy Easier now Easier easier now You can breathe easy You can breathe Make a tea Brew it up The best things in life are Absolutely free You can just let them find you Just look around Fuzzy wuzzy little leaf Big yellow flower Rising up in between Grows by the roadside Always there to find Chorus
