Run Run Round With Me
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Run run round in circles, run run round with me
Run run faster now, you know it makes me dizzy
You know what it does to me
Feel like fallin’ down, feel like rain
Tongue is tied and twisted, brain can’t explain
Well I can’t say to where it is that I’m goin’ to
All I’m hopin’ fors’ another side, to make it through
You push on and I’ll pull back
You’ll be gone and I’ll relax
ah - aha- ah - aha - ah
ah - aha- ah - aha - ah
ah - aha- ah - aha - ah
ah - aha- ah - aha - ah
Don’t ya’ fret, don’t ya’ wine
Suns gonna’ set and shine
ah - ah - a - ah - ah
ah - ah - a - ah - ah
ah - ah - a - ah - ah
ah - ah - a - ah - a - ah

Tales From A Nomad In No Man’s Land
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
While I was thinkin’ back to the 1980’s
About the drug war
Now they say we’ve spent more on this war
Than all the other wars combined
It was around this same time,
That all this started up,
A whole lot of mental hospitals
Shut down for good,
All the occupants just spilled on out
Into the neighborhoods, we’ll call em’ homeless
Did we the people do this?
Then I jumped up, 1991, to Portland, Oregon
Started meetin’ a lot of Vietnam veterans,
Native American Indians, who had a particular liking,
A respect, an affinity, for the thunderbird
So I stopped and I listened to what they had to say
On that average six, seven, eight hour day
I’d be outside strummin’ away on Morrison Avenue
See, they were they only folks who didn’t have
Any place to go, I was on their home turf, ya’ know
Except that one day, the banker on his lunch break
Wanted to trade places with me
I said, “ No thanks “
Well it doesn’t matter how old you are
When it hits you, if it’s true
Propaganda points to what time tells
Fact or fiction, which makes for better news?
Ah someone just play me a good song or two
That helps get me through
Then I noticed something kind of interesting
Sort of disturbing around the holidays,
Especially Christmas
Anybody out there on the streets maybe looked
A little undesirable, begging with a paper cup
They drove em’ clear outta’ downtown
Swept em’ off the sidewalks like a high pressure,
Power washer steam cleaner, on Hollywood Boulevard
One day, one of the cops came up to me, he said,
“ Tony, those people, they’re bad for business
When the shoppers’ see em’ it makes em’ all depressed
They don’t wanna’ buy anything. “
I said, “ Oh what a mess. “
I saw a lot of fancy cars choking down main-street
While pretty girls, skip to the beat of a lonesome heart
I got to thinkin’ I realized, there’s no parking lots
For thoughts on stars, each one wishing for what
The others got
Learnin’ what I learn, moneys a concern
Sometimes I leave behind
Situations strike, complications outta your control
I’m broke, but I manage to find
The right places, at the right times
Well it doesn’t matter how old you are
When it hits you, if it’s true
Propaganda points to what time tells
Fact or fiction, which makes for better news?
Ah someone just play me a good song or two
That helps get me through

Hot Rod Vixen
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
You can tell by the way she walks,
Yeah, the way she talks, the girls’ on fire
Yeah she’s lookin’ fine, yeah she’s lookin’ fine
She’s lookin’ fine, with her tight shirt on
Sweet sweet smells, and now I begin to worry
She’s sittin’ on my floor, a blazin’ billion dollar fury
Two steps more, and I will be done for
Yeah, I’ve been here before
Yeah, I’ve been here before
My legs can’t seem to stand, I’m glued to the floor
The thoughts are runnin’ through my mind,
Runnin’ through my mind, as she leans my way
What a view, my my
I can’t think of anyplace, I’d rather be right now
I can feel the power and suspense that’s in the air
I can’t think of any reason for me to move ever again
My back leaned up against the wall
Thinkin’ to myself, what’s it, worth after all?
My fist clenched tight, outta’ sight in a ball
Do I need her help in remindin’ me to recall
That home is a feelin’ warm, warm inside
You can tell by the way she stops
Yeah, she’s hip and she hops at the drop of a dime
Yeah, she’s lookin’ fine, yeah she’s lookin’ fine
She’s lookin’ fine, with her tight shirt on
With the warmth of her flame,
I sure wouldn’t wanna’ feel her freeze
Her stallions’ in the shed, this ponys’ on bended knees
She dressed up like a hot rod
In place to zoom down the track
I know I know better, hot rod vixen
I’ll probably call ya’ back
I know I know better, hot rod vixen
I’ll probably call ya’ back

There You Go Again
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Things were lookin’ up, the sky was jet blue
I couldn’t stop thinkin’ or talkin’ bout’ you
Life is short, put your worries aside
Take your time and enjoy the ride
Well ya wanna’ be cool, well understand
Sometimes things don’t work out like ya planned
But ya fight it, ya do it
Do you do what they tell ya?
Recycled dreams and the visions they sell ya
Everybody wants to be free
It’s not so hard and it’s so easy to see
That everybody, I mean everybody wants to be free
I’ve got my own revolutions
The streets are my institutions
One of these days when we free the solutions
We’ll get it right
And with the way that the road goes on and on
There’s no place that can keep ya’
Like it feels when you’ve stayed some place too long
Think you can pay the price, think you can get it for a song?
Keep talkin’ straight, don’t kid yourself and ya’ gotta’ stay head strong
Well I don’t even know how I ever got through
Or how I even ever started talkin’ to you
Every place I go, your face is around
Baby, your beauty haunts me, like a lonesome town
Maybe a little love sick, you know how it can be scary
Try to remind myself of how temporary
Everything in life can be so fragile and delicate
Some people cause pain, just for the hell of it
Everybody wants to be free
It’s not so hard and it’s so easy to see
That everybody, I mean everybody wants to be free
I’ve got my own revolutions
The streets are my institutions
One of these days when we free, the solutions
We’ll get it right, oh god I hope we get it right

Mighty America & the Two Tired Horses
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
We came and told the Indians, what do ya’ know?
Here’s some blankets with some small pox
Here ya’ go, here ya’ go
Lord I know
In the land known as the South,
Where cotton used to be king
They say the Yankees up North,
Keep industrializing everything
Everything that we grow
Some headed out West
Through that old Cumberland Gap
They brought infections and pollutions’
And those big smoke stacks that blow
Lord, how they blow
Everywhere I’ve been
I hear what people have to say
About mighty America
And the grave gravel road that we’ve paved
The grave gravel road we’ve paved
Forget about the miners
Forget about the gold
There’s two tired horses in the middle of the road
That I know, Lord I know
What about the soldiers in the jungles
And the rest of all the wars
Did they really know back then
What they were fightin’ for?
I know, Lord I know
I guess it’s always been a struggle
In this world to survive
You’ve got to keep your head above water
If you’re gonna’ stay alive, I know
Lord I know
Everywhere I’ve been
I hear what people have to say
About mighty America
And the grave gravel road that we’ve paved
Grave gravel road we’ve paved

Can’t Fool Myself
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Well I think by now you found my long lost letter
Go ahead pick it up, if it might make ya’ feel better
Half way there, whatcha’ gonna’ do?
Fool for rock n’ roll, makin’ love to you
Well I packed it up, I packed it in
I pushed myself farther than I’ve ever been
Things haven’t been the same, since I met you
Well don’t turn away, I was only gonna’ say
Cupid’s poison darts, headed straight for the lonely hearts
It’s always been that way
That’s how it’s gonna’ stay
I can’t fool myself, I can’t tell no lies
Can’t hide what’s on my face or in, my eyes
Things are gonna’ work out, just like ya’ said they would
Well I tried it out, tried and true
Fallin’ faster all the time, tired of feelin’ blue
Just gotta’ make it out, gotta’ make it through
It seems it’s all ya’ might have left to do
Well don’t turn away, I was only gonna’ say
That cupid’s poison darts, headed straight for the lonely hearts
It’s always been that way
That’s how it’s gonna’ stay

Stolen Moments & Stealin’ Time
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Wanna look up and see your face,
I tried everything, but can’t replace
Your happiness, your warm glow
I wanna know, where’d it go?
Now everything has turned to blue,
Ya turned off those baby blues
I flipped around, I fell down,
I got no one to put my arms around
Guess I was thinkin’
Like I always do
Thinkin’ bout’ you and me,
Thinkin’ we might make it through
Stolen moments and stealin’ time
Ya mixed it up, ya crossed the line
Thought you fixed your blues, fixed your sadness
Ya got confused, and it led to madness
Love and affection from the start,
Only true love can break your heart,
Feel like you’re broken and you’re burnt down,
And the loneliness keeps crashin’ down
Guess I was thinkin’
Like I always do
Thinkin’ bout’ you and me,
Thinkin’ we might make it through
Guess I was thinkin’
Like I always do
Thinkin’ bout’ you and me,
Thinkin’ we might make it through

Apricot Moonshine / Las Vegas Hash
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Drinkin’ apricot moonshine, smokin’ Las Vegas hash
I chased it down and then I laid around
Then I ran all out of cash
Been around many towns
It’s changed me now, I’m still havin’ a blast
In the blink of an eye, from low to high
It can all change so fast
It’s a mass illusion, I’m not too distracted to see
They say, “ Time is money “
But time means so much more than that to me
Time means so much more than that to me
Time means so much more than that to me
You’ve got nothin’ to lose, you’ve even lost all fear
Like an orphan on the run, baby with a pop gun
Drag around a pound of sugar, like a pioneer
Followed my bliss, both far and near
Ya’ can’t outrun the moment, ya can always just disappear
It’s a mass illusion, I’m not too distracted to see
They say that, time is money
But time means so much more than that to me
Time means so much more than that to me
Time means so much more than that to me
Enjoyin’ the things money can’t buy
Can’t take away, what no one can ever own
Tell it like it is
I’ve got my dreams to keep me warm and satisfied
When I’m alone
It’s a mass illusion, I’m not too distracted to see
They say, “ Time is money “
But time means so much more than that to me
Time means so much more than that to me
Time means so much more than that to me
