COWBOYS & AFRICANS
I was born into a life already determined, it’s already been known,
I’ve to work, I’ve to sleep, then repeat
Giving me enough that I’ll remain
Just to be a link in their chain
The one that's tight around our necks
& shackled to our arms & to our legs
It keeps pulling me, keeps pulling us - through life
Every which way but loose
Until one day, we'll be dead
And then our children
It's on their heads
But with my Mothers heart & my Daddy's mind
A new path I shall find
I won't be who they tell me to be
How can I? I've a daughter now, who will look up to me!
& in this world
You're either or
African
Or a Cowboy
& you & I
will say goodbye
Before one of us
Shall die
& in this life
You must decide
Do you fall?
Or survive
& in this world
You're either or
African
Or a Cowboy
My brother, he stands tall
It ain’t been easy, I remember, I recall
Silly little boys, they took your toys
They took your name, & left you pain
Ignorant pigs, I wished them dead
So I just messed with their heads
Look at you now, I couldn’t be prouder
King of your castle, you heart beats stronger
Brother, you won! Mother, our love!
But with my Mothers heart & my Daddy's mind
A new path I shall find
I won't be who they tell me to be
How can I? I've a daughter now, who will look up to me!
& in this world
You're either or
African
Or a Cowboy
& you & I
will say goodbye
Before one of us
Shall die
& in this life
You must decide
Do you fall?
Or survive
& in this world
You're either or
African
Or a Cowboy

DELTA MONEY BLUES
Lemme tell you about a thing I know
Lemme tell you, let me let you know
I've seen it all, through these here eyes
Watched it all unfold, Heard all the lies
When it's all said & done - you gotta Take the Money & Run!
I live on a land governed by pigs!
I live in a town where my vote means shit!
I tried my best ma, to try fit in
Worked real hard, for all our sins
When it's all said & done - you gotta Take the Money & Run!
Take the Money & Run!
Take the Money & Run!
When it's all said & done - you gotta Take the Money & Run!
Take the Money & Run!
Take the Money & Run!
When it's all said & done - you gotta Take the Money & Run!

VOWS
If I come to be with you,
I cannot promise I'll be true
I've lived my life, my own way, It's all I've known, to love & play
I am a man, for that I'm sure
! For better or worse & rich or poor
How many times have I been fooled? Not by you, my heart she rules
I don’t trust myself no more,
I won’t burst my head no more
No no, pity, and don't be fooled.
That's what he wants, my pulse he's cruel.
Take me for what I am,
Or I'll take you for all you've got
Let us pray it don't come to that,
And this has all just been bad thoughts
These are my Vows My Vows to you, this is my truth
to get me through
This is my way
to keep me true. These are my Vows, My Vows to you
These are my Vows, my Vows to you, This is my truth
to get me through
This is my way To keep me true - These Vows.
We lie in bed, you stroke my ches,t you lie to me, that I'm the best
How many men, been in your bed? You'd kill to know, what's in my head.
We kid ourselves, this is love, to ease the guilt, for what it is
I'll chase that part until I'm done
, I crave that time, the part that's fun
These are my Vows My Vows to you, this is my truth
to get me through
This is my way
to keep me true. These are my Vows, My Vows to you
These are my Vows, my Vows to you, This is my truth
to get me through
This is my way To keep me true - These Vows.
These are my Vows My Vows to you, this is my truth
to get me through
This is my way
to keep me true. These are my Vows, My Vows to you
These are my Vows, my Vows to you, This is my truth
to get me through
This is my way To keep me true - These Vows.

EVERYDAY SUPERMAN
I remember
A time in my life
I was a young boy
Fighting for everything I had
Stop me
If you
Know where
This goes
I didn’t know much
And what I did I felt
In my heart & my head
I had to figure out
I waited for someone to turn up &
help me out
But on the streets of Milton
No one came around
On the streets of Milton
No one comes to town
You need a Superman
In a world with no friends
You need a Superman
When no one hears you drown...
I can be your Everyday Superman
I can take you to the sky,
Just hold my hand
I can save you from their evil master plan
I can be your Everyday Superman
