From the recording Trash Holler 2022
Last song done with Big Jim Calvin: his music, my lyrics.
Lyrics
Something that can give you hope
when you're swinging from a hangman's rope.
something that has no name.
better than fortune, better than fame.
something you used to know
like a hug that never let you go
something you need real bad.
something that you used to have
something that always makes you laugh.
something innocent. honest talk and friendship.
something that passes by the peripheral vision of a horse fly.
something you need real bad.
there's something here
that can't be seen, like.
mountain air. It's pure and clean.
something in your chest that says
"I won't be giving up just yet" it's
something you need real bad.
something cut from finer cloth
something free that can't be bought.
something you used to know
like cocktail fruit and jello...
something you need real bad...
something off the hook. something that bears a second look it's
something you need real bad.
something here that can't be seen
like mountain air: it's pure and clean.
something in your chest that says, "I won't be giving up just yet"
it's...something you need real bad.
something that passes by the peripheral vision of a horse fly.
something you need real bad.
