Maple, Spruce, Cherry Catalpa, Elm, Lone Oak Dairy My girl lives on a street Named after a tree I'm gonna climb her Roost in her canopy My girl Lives on A street Named after A tree
3.
We’ve all falled short Like a tree blowed down In that bad storm That hit the neighbors house And missed the main structure But smashed the sunroom flat So for the six months past You’ve been pulling shards of glass Out of tomatoes and peppers You grow every summer To give to family and friends You don’t want them to think You’re trying to hurt em And you know they’ll say You’ve got astray Of the glory of god
4.
There's a stone cross underneath a tree And a figurine I know’s not but I call a kewpie And a name chiseled in immortalized I can't read Cause it's so far off not to mention the speed As I drive by The traffic was at a standstill due to construction Of a totally unnecessary brand new police station And everyday for weeks I’ve had a clear view But the name on the cross is never legible As I drive by

Catty Corner 02:13
I'd do anything for you Well maybe that's not true But there's plenty of things I do For you, babe Like I'd talk to the neighbor That lives catty corner And plays the worst fucking music Too loud all night and day After all, ain't that the meaning of love? It's the little things I think of I'd do anything for you Well maybe that's not true But there's plenty of things I do For you, babe Like I'd sleep in at your house While you're up making coffee But I'd run to the grocery store later If I drank the rest of your cream After all, ain't that the meaning of love? It's the little things I think of
6.
It's getting pretty late and I Think that I should go I'm worried about my lifetime Undulating numbers I can't know My ego dies with the stars As they disappear with my glasses off Light-years measure distance we must be Far apart with the conversation so cold
7.
Water Cycle 02:00
As I walk through the park I chew ice from a styrofoam cup And I think of all the places That ice might have come from I could be eating the iceberg that sunk the Titanic Or water flooding the Estonia out in the Baltic Or maybe water from the hull of the Mary Celeste Abandoned in the Atlantic I conclude it's best to let the cycle continue And throw the half-full cup of ice toward a trashcan Where the styrofoam turns to shrapnel As it smashes into the outside And the ice spreads out across the Earth A found lost treasure of diamonds And pearls
8.
And why would I be The pot calling the kettle black When I could be the john That's calling the cougar mellencamp
9.
On the interstate I followed a yellow moon But it turned out to be A fast food marquee Still I followed the path it had laid out And found myself in Clifty With some friends out at Beaver Lake Taking turns jumpin Lover's Leap Then a misstep- someone hits the ground For help I ran all the way to Clifty All roads All roads lead to All roads All roads lead to Clifty
10.
I feel a little chickenshit Can’t get myself to wage high bets Money don't grow on trees It’s made of cotton and exploitative practices And I’ve got a 401k That I'm just waiting to have stolen by a bank Bettin makes me feel like I have control Not just digging a bigger hole I’ve got me a job with a decent pay Making $2 over the minimum wage So I’m just scraping by Waiting for Kentucky Derby day
