The Honey Dewdrops - Same Old
every morning
same old sun comes up
same old coffee
same old coffee cup
same old suit
and shoes on my feet
same old mirror
sees through me
same old songs
static on the radio
i sing along but
i’m tired of how they go
down the same road
to work every day
i’m getting lost
i’m coming in late
i’m ready to quit
i want to sell the house
and hit the road
’til the road runs out
i been thinking
i’m through
thinking now
friday night
same old bar and grill
same old beers
drink our dollar bills
every weekend
same short and sweet
same old hours
give up on me
we been walking
round the same old blocks
where the neighbors
walk the same old dogs
our same old house
same old stuff
i don’t know
how to clean it up
i’m ready to quit
i want to sell the house
and hit the road
til the road runs out
i been thinking
i’m through
thinking now
same old me
same old you
same elephant
in the same old room
i’m ready to quit
i want to sell the house
and hit the road
til the road runs out
i been thinking
i’m through
thinking now

The Honey Dewdrops - Loneliest Songs
the loneliest songs
are beautiful things
the loneliest songs
are the most beautiful things
the onliest song i can sing
is the loneliest
the loneliest
the loneliest
every layer
falls away
every layer
finally falls away
every heart is made to break
one day
one day
one day
there’s something about
the sound of the blues
something ‘bout the sound
of the lonesome blues
stepping closer to the truth
singing
singing
singing
every song is sad
everybody’s blue
every song is sad
and everybody’s blue
you’re the same as me
i’m the same as you
we’re lonely
lonely
lonely
lay down your thoughts
and close your eyes
lay down your thoughts
and close your eyes
if you feel the night,
then feel the night
lightless
lightless
lightless
the loneliest songs
are beautiful things
the loneliest songs
are the most beautiful things
the onliest song i can sing
is the loneliest
the loneliest
the loneliest

Lowlands

The Honey Dewdrops - Lowlands
the lowlands lay
a long way down
through tangled country,
on foreign ground
you’re caught off guard,
when the road runs out
your tank was full,
but it’s empty now
and you're broke down,
you’re broke down,
in a sad town
and you ain’t going nowhere
now
the lowlands hold you
with their heavy hands
they make you sing
the songs of the damned
they lay you by
a river of tears
where you hear the thoughts
you don’t want to hear
when you're broke down,
you’re broke down,
in a sad town
you ain’t going nowhere
now
the lowlands lay
quiet and still
you sleep all day
but your rest don't fill
your face won’t laugh,
your mouth won't smile
your eyes are full
of empty miles
when you're broke down,
you’re broke down,
in a sad town
you ain’t going nowhere
now
you're a long way down
in the long now
you don't know how
to get out now, no
the lowlands lay
out back and beyond
you feel so far
from where you belong
the sorrow there,
is raw and real
you beg for mercy,
you beg to heal
when you're broke down,
you’re broke down,
in a sad town
you ain’t going nowhere
now
oh, you’re broke down
you’re broke down
in a sad town
you ain’t going nowhere
now

Horses

The Honey Dewdrops - Horses
half broken horses
are running through my head
i try to tame them
corral and contain them
i try to put them all to bed
but half broken horses
never fall asleep
bucking in their stalls
kicking down the walls
they fight like hell to get free
they plead and plead
don’t you break me
please don’t break me
take me how I am
half-mean and wild
fragile like a child
with hopes and fears and
blood
running hot and fast
take me how I am
old worn out saddles
bridles and bits in the mouth
this little circle pen
I’m hemmed and locked in
has barely any room to move
about
reins and whips of leather
flash and flutter all around
commands loud and clear
words that hurt to hear
I fight like hell to keep them out
so I shout and shout
don’t you break me
please don’t break me
take me how I am
half-mean and wild
fragile like a child
with hopes and fears and
blood
running hot and fast
take me how I am
don’t you break me
please don’t break me
take me how I am
half-mean and wild
fragile like a child
with hopes and fears and
blood
running hot and fast
take me how I am
take me how I am

Fair Share Blues

The Honey Dewdrops - Fair Share Blues
my father’s father, was a working man
he fought in the war and he lived with that
he drank and prayed, and he got the blues
he never said nothing that wasn’t true
he said my hands I do not own
they’re made of sweat and blisters and bone
they fight and build, they grip and strain
they’re not bound like me by rest or pain
you get the good days, and you get the blues
you work and drink and sing and hurt and pray
‘cause that’s all you can do
he said neither can I possess
any of the air I take for breath
each breath I take I must release
nothing is mine to hold or keep
he said my thoughts I cannot claim
of heaven and hell and love and faith
they were born long before I came
they’ll outlive my weary old wrinkled brain
you get the good days, and you get the blues
you work and drink and sing and hurt and pray
‘cause that’s all you can do
he said I’ve got my own fair share
of guilt and fear and sad despair
so I work and drink, I sing and pray
and I cast my weary blues away
you get the good days, and you get the blues
you work and drink and sing and hurt and pray
‘cause that’s all you can do

Hold Love

The Honey Dewdrops - Hold Love
you come like wind
you come like rain
you’re hot and cold
and made of change
you come like the light
of a good idea
like silence comes
to tired ears
i know you
or i think i do
i hold you tight
but you get loose
hold love
stop moving
through my hands
and through my heart
far away
down
and dark
hold love
your eagle eyes
search me out
you hunt me up
above the crowd
you come untouched
and unannounced
like a secret breathes
but makes no sound
you come in traces
spread and spare
a little here
and a little there
hold love
stop moving
through my hands
and through my heart
far away
down
and dark
hold love
you come in peace
you come in vain
what you want with me
you never say
a restless friend
you come and go
with waves and forms
i can’t hold
hold love
stop moving
through my hands
and through my heart
far away
down
and dark
hold love

The Honey Dewdrops - Young
all my friends are hitched and having kids
we don’t light up the late nights like we did
so I get stoned alone in the flatscreen’s light
with a hi-def Andy Griffith who don’t look right
my friends are buying homes, they're settling down
in tiny fixer uppers on the cheap side of town
they buzz ‘bout roofing, floors and paint
it’s all about money now and moving day
drifting too far from the shore
i’m out of touch, broke, and bored
everything feels different
than it used to feel before
and I don’t feel so young anymore
everybody wears skinny jeans
walking the length of lonely street
we got headphones and blue tooth voices on
we talk out loud to no one, we walk alone
i check the phone, i get online to see
is anybody out there who wants me
making friends on facebook ain’t that bad
i got more friends there than I’ve ever had
drifting too far from the shore
i’m out of touch, broke, and bored
everything feels different
than it used to feel before
and I don’t feel so young anymore
another year turned round again
to find me in the great in between
where my old dreams don’t shine like they did
now all my friends are hitched and having kids
drifting too far from the shore
i’m out of touch, broke, and bored
everything feels different
than it used to feel before
and I don’t feel so young
no I don’t feel so young anymore

Numb

The Honey Dewdrops - Numb
i’ve been numb to the pain for a while
yes, i’ve been numb to it but i don’t care
i’ll do whatever i can to give you a smile
and to slow this pounding pain and despair
i’ll take the sweet silence of the morning time
to reset my thoughts for the day
but the weight and the worry seem to filter through my mind
i feel nothing since i’m numbing up again
like a needle to the vein
like a bottle’s just been drained
i’m tuning out my brain
letting go the insane
i’m numbing up again
you can’t know what i am and what i’m not
hardened by this hard heart of stone
you can never really tell if i’m cold or if i’m hot
since those feelings left a long time ago
i’m left at the end of my tether
still fastened by darkness on a chain
they say it takes time to beat the odds for better
but for now i’m just numbing up again
like a needle to the vein
like a bottle’s just been drained
i’m tuning out my brain
letting go the insane
i’m numbing up again
i don’t look over my shoulder anymore
or eye that clover growing in my way
aint no fear, aint no luck can turn me toward that door
since the nothing’s turned to numbing up again
like a needle to the vein
like a bottle’s just been drained
i’m tuning out my brain
letting go the insane
i’m numbing up again
i’m tuning out my brain
letting go the insane
i’m numbing up again

Guitars

The Honey Dewdrops - Guitars
we are born unto our own
sapling seeds from old growth
raised up tall and cut down low
so we are, and so we go
turned from home, handled, and hauled
shaped and sanded, bent and sawed
many hands and many years gone
write every one our songs
play we all
true songs
we sing them right
we sing them wrong
tuned up tightly
and passed along
like old guitars
we breathe
songs
long to be held in arms
and loved and played by heart
days of light and days of dark
all resolve the broken parts
hands of old, hands of young
hands of gentle, hands of rough
every one with a song to teach
some sing pain, some sing peace
play we all
true songs
we sing them right
we sing them wrong
tuned up tightly
and passed along
like old guitars
we breathe
songs
upon our faces many lines show
traces of time like pen strokes
words and changes and passing notes
and scars where the skin broke
play we all
true songs
we sing them right
we sing them wrong
tuned up tightly
and passed along
like old guitars
we breathe
songs
we breathe songs
