FROZEN MUD
Lyrics by "Lanky" Larry Hodges
Now if you hear me screamin' baby
You'll know what's going on
Ain't nothin' makes a grown man blue
Like a woman who done him wrong
Dark days are comin'
And there's nowhere to run or hide
Whoa my woman she left me
With a deep pain in my soul
Yes my woman she left me
My loving her has taken its toll
Dark days are comin'
And there's nowhere to run or hide
The first time I saw you
I nearly lost my mind
You used to be so sweet to me
Now you treat me so unkind
Oh baby
Look what you're doing to my heart!

Hey there mama don't you cry
I'm gonna come and make you mine
Listen lord can you hear my plea
Send my baby back to me
You light my soul oh yes you do
The way you hold me close to you
Can't you see how I burn inside
My love for you I could never hide
Oh when you told me
when you told me
You couldn't be my baby no more
You put a dagger
Right through my loving heart
Yes you did
Yes you did

What is a man supposed to do
When the sky turns cold and blue?
When ashes fall from the fiery skies
And hide the sun from your eyes?
Oh will you cry or say goodbye?
Or will you try to save your mind?
Oh now there's nothing left to see
Of fields once oh so green
And I hear the devil laughing
As the fire rains down on me
Oh will you cry or say goodbye?
Or will you try to save your mind?
My loved ones are all hiding in
the house where I was born
And now the fire's burning down
My fifty rows of corn
Oh will you cry or say goodbye?
Or will you try to save your mind?

NOCTURNE RUMBLE
Written by Matt and John Blackstone
Lyrics by Matt Blackstone
I sip the wine from the silver cup
Enter ecstasies unknown
Gentle illusions cross my mind
But I'll cross this road alone
I'm shown a world of visions
Will I find my answers there?
I am offered the forbidden fruit
Shall I accept their dare?
The white rabbit sleeps in silence
His trip was much too cool
Alice shows her purse to the spade
She plays him for a fool
The queen is a king who cannot sing
His daughters are not his own
All the while the black hatter laughs
As good folk wail and moan
Sweet Lorna Doone waits for me
Then turns her cheek and leaves
Gentle Saloma throws a fit
And runs crying through the trees
All the while the dawn is breaking
And I feel the cold wind in my bones
The journey's over and once again
I face the night alone
Purple sunshine is dawning now
A rainbow land of sin
The spoiled heirs of foolish kings
Have made this land we're in
Even though the jesters laugh
They are merely another tool
Cause while the freaks have their fun
You and I will play the fool

LET YOUR Mind BE WARY
Lyrics by Matt Blackstone
I've been toiling in the flatlands
Shov'lin dirt all day
Left my blood and sweat and tears
In that red old clay
Sometimes I get to wond'ring
How long I'll stick around
I believe I'm meant to ramble
Not dig holes in the ground
Yes you will see
What life can be
So let your mind be wary
Went and told the foreman
I'm done splitting ties
He spits and says I'm nothing
with a dead look in his eyes
I'm gonna leave and hope I don't
Get that dead look too
I'll hope and pray that I'll find
Just what I'm meant to do
Yes you will see
What life can be
So let your mind be wary
Yes I'll end up in some roadside grave
Forgotten in the hills
Don't think I'll be remembered
After I've been killed
They'll never make a statue
Of this rambling man
Who broke twenty seven women's hearts
And moved across the land
Yes you will see
What life can be
So let your mind be wary
