Beans and Beer Again
(Calvert/Idlet/Mims) 
 
Down in the heart of Texas and I know it’s gonna’ rain
Lord it’s seems like fifty years since I’ve been dry
Well it takes a lot to learn not much, a whole lot less to cry
And today it looks like beans and beer again 
 
Walkin’ down the highway
I don’t know where I belong
Cursing all the cars that pass me by
The echoes of my footsteps
On the mountain’s valley walls
Makes me think of somewhere I call home
 
Well the moonshine made me crazy and the sheriff he wore me down
The revenuers done got a hold of my still and run me out of town
Sittin’ by a lonesome campfire, always on the run
And today it looks like beans and beer again
 
Walkin’ down the highway
I don’t know where I belong
Cursing all the cars that pass me by
The echoes of my footstep
On the mountain’s valley walls
Make me think of somewhere I call home
And today it looks like beans and beer again
Walkin’ down the road just lookin’ for a friend

 
 
Cardinal
(C. Mims)
 
Cardinal flying overhead, makes me think of you
Blackbird singing in the tree
High, low, he sings so sweet
Gently falling over stones, like a mountain stream
Freedom was our complication
We were living in a dream
I love you, it sounds so strange, we had to rearrange our lives
 
Springtime was our time for sharing
Summer was our friend
Autumn felt our hesitation
Cold, pain, Winter brought the end
I love you, it sounds so strange , we had to rearrange our lives
 
Cardinal flying overhead, makes me think of you
Blackbird singing in the tree
High, low, he sings so sweet

 

 

 

 

 
Precious Cradle of Love
 (Calvert/Idlet/Mims)
 
You know it’s going around
You’ve been fooling me
Lately I’ve found
Why all the fellas in this town know your name
It’s such a shame
To lose a love that once was true
 
You had me so mesmerized
Hypnotizing me with all your charms
Deeply I fell
Under the spell of your precious cradle of love
Heavens above
You were mine
For such a short, short time
 Hold on Joe, there’s something you ought to know
This ain’t the first time she’s let a good man go
So you call her the girl of your dreams
Well you know that ain’t necessarily so
Precious cradle of love
Heavens above
You were mine
For such a short, short time
 
If I may, there’s something I’d like to say
I can’t believe that you could talk that way
Everyone knows you’re my sweet lovin’ man
And you know I’m gonna’ love you whenever I can

 
From The Winter
(Calvert/Idlet)
 
And I see my friends
Who have all cashed in on tomorrow
They have squandered time
And have only just learned how to borrow
We see only what we can
 
And the robin waits out
His winter this year in the snowfall
Where the winter’s hard
But his will to survive is much stronger
He will never fly again
 
Look around
Have you seen the snowfall
You might find
You are blindly staring through the looking glass
 
You can live your dreams
And it’s easy to fly from the winter
Open up your mind
And close all the doors left behind you
 Your eyes can see but will not open
Lend them to the looking glass

 

 

 
LORI’S SONG
(Idlet)
 
Well it’s early in the morning and the stars are in the sky
And I’m thinking ‘bout the girl that I left the other night
Moving’ down the road I watch the cars fly by
And like a newborn babe I cry
 
Lovers like no others we were always side by side
Walking through the park or hitching for a ride
And I still remember watching clouds build castles in the sky
As lasting as the breathing of a sigh
 
Songs were written long ago by patriotic men
Well they passed them to their sons who sang them once and then again
This song I’m writing you could never be passed down
This song’s for you and me alone
This song I’m writing you could never be passed down
This song’s for you and me alone
 
Well it’s early in the morning and the stars are in the sky
And I’m thinking ‘bout the girl that I left the other night
Moving’ down the road I watch the cars fly by
And like a newborn babe I cry
 

 
READY FOR THE CHANGE
(Calvert)
 
I see a time of beginning has made its way to you
Even though your luck has been running dry
You’re seeing smiles instead of frowns
You’re looking up instead of down
And you know, you know you’ve been
Ready for the change, for the change
 
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Ready for the change
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Ready for the change
 
He told you he wanted you to be his only one
But you just can’t help what you feel inside
Its time for you to go if you don’t want it this way
It’s a hard thing to change and even harder to stay
I’m sure, I’m sure that you’re
Ready for the change, for the change
 
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Ready for the change
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Ready for the change
 

 
DRIFTING ALONG
(Calvert/Donisi)
 
Drifting along with the sound of the wind
Flying a path with the sun
I can remember the clouds rolling by
Woke up to find myself here
 
Halfway to heaven, afraid of the fall
No one to help if I do
Ready to challenge the things that I’ve learned
Lies that were said to be true
 
Lost like a dreamer with freedom to see
Traces of faces in time
Notions are calling in opening minds
Struck down by dark thoughts inside
Drifting along with the sound of the wind
Flying a path with the sun
I can remember the clouds rolling by
Woke up to find myself here
Woke up to find myself here
Woke up to find myself here
 

 
REASON FOR LEAVING
(C. Mims)
 
This morning arrived with another misfortune
It seemed that you were not around again
Your phone doesn't answer each time that I dial
Maybe what you said last night was carried through
An extraordinary man, you always had a better plan to keep me in a smile
I tried to love you madly, but it turned out rather badly
'Cause I don't fit your particular style
Do I have to submit to your reason for leaving?
I like to watch her when she moves across the floor
And I don't want to blame you
And I don't want to shame you
But right now I feel like causing a scene
 
I'm thinking of spending some time with myself now
It's time I found out the feeling of me
Get into a garden that grows by the ocean
Something to keep me from feeling so alone
An extraordinary man, you always had a better plan to keep me in a smile
I tried to love you madly, but it turned out rather badly
'Cause I don't fit your particular style
 

 
CRUZAN TIME
(Calvert/Idlet/Mims)
 
Sailing to find
Something new
Maybe I’ll find
A woman or two
Or three
Or four
 
Drink a little rum
Looking for some fun
Cooking in the sunshine
Sharing what is mine
With the Friends I find
Living on Cruzan Time
Living on Cruzan Time
Living on Cruzan Time
 
Trying to lose
The first woman I found
Feeling like my
Ship just ran aground
Hot rocks
Michelle
 
Drink a little rum
Looking for some fun
Cooking in the sunshine
Sharing what is mine
With the Friends I find
Living on Cruzan Time....

 
             THE LADY HAS NO HEART
             (C. Mims)
 
She has a gypsy in her eyes
She wants a lady in her heart
And all the power in her eyes
Well, it can tear your soul apart
 
And if you want to, she'll tell you all the tricks of the trade
She might even invite you in to see the skirt she's made
And if you're nice, she'll tell you about all the johns she's laid
The lady has no heart
 
And she has a teacher in her mind
She'll tell you all she knows if you treat her kind
But none of her knowledge comes from schoolbooks
She gets it strictly from her exceptional good looks
 
And if you want to, she'll tell you all the tricks of the trade
She might even invite you in to see the skirt she's made
And if you're nice, she'll tell you about all the johns she's laid
The lady has no heart

 

 

 

 

 
WAXAHACHIE WOMAN
(Calvert/Idlet)
If I just had me a nickel to spend
Or if you could spare me the dime
I’d call up that woman from Waxahachie
To tell her that I love her and I’d like to spend some time
 Making love
 Making sweet, sweet love
 Making love
With that Waxahachie Woman
I can see her face all glowin’
Like the misty morning sunshine
And that Waxahachie Woman doesn’t even know my name
I was on my way to Idaho, I was colder that an Eskimo
I was waiting by the highway for a ride
Well I couldn’t feel my toes no more and my hands were frozen solid
To the handle on the case of my guitar
              Well she warmed my and so much more
              She left me with a memory
And a doctor bill that cost me twice as much as I paid her
 Making love
 Making sweet, sweet love
 Making love
With that Waxahachie Woman
I can see her face all glowin’
Like the misty morning sunshine
And that Waxahachie Woman doesn’t even know my name
Now every time I think of her I remember all she gave me and I realize the lesson to be learned
If you find a girl that's willin', you'd best buy some penicillin, It's much easier than paying twice the money for the ride
 Making love
              Making sweet, sweet love
 Making love
With that Waxahachie Woman
I can see her face all glowin’
Like the misty morning sunshine
And that Waxahachie Woman doesn’t even know my name
