Walk On The Levee
04:15

Storm's coming across the Everglades
Pack your things we might go out away
Don't have to change your name or face
As long as you can keep up the pace
Walk on the levee all day
Don't let it get washed out by the rain
Storm's coming day by day
The levee wasn't put here to stay
Storms coming across the Everglades
Pack your things we might go out to stay
Businessmen can't keep the people safe
If the storm comes it'll make the change
Walk on the levee all day
Don't let it get washed out by the rain
Storm's coming day by day
The levee wasn't put here to stay
Walk on the levee, before it's coming down
Walk on the levee, while it's dry ground
Walk on the levee, it's coming down coming down
Walk on the levee....

Ghost Of A Self
02:49

If you feel down with your feet stuck on the ground
Pick your self up and it won't take long to see
Driving that train is a man with manners so plain
So don't be afraid, cause he's here to take you away
Take him up on the ride
Climb right up the side
Don't be a ghost of a self
These kinds of things you can't sell
Riding around, passing through nameless towns
You ask where you are and he says "What, is this really hell?"
Walk through the cars, you see bottles, cons, and stars, and cops behind bars
On the engine to the stars
Take him up on the ride
Climb right up the side
Don't be a ghost of a self

Hammer That Nail
04:54

Sometimes I find myself in quite a jam
But if you look at it different you can see what I can
Taking off your glasses to read it just like you should
I can surely tell that you're not feeling too good
Don't try to tell me, don't try to make me feel bad
Cause all that you've been doing, is making yourself feel sad
Hammer that nail, beat it into your wall
I can tell you your painting will not fall
Hammer that nail, beat it as hard as you can
And maybe it'll help sometimes
Not too long after you start pushing it down
You'll find that it feels like you world's turning around
Don't make a mistake and think that you're all done
You forgot to drive that nail in it's not your only one
Don't try to tell me, don't try to make me feel bad
Cause a nail without a hammer is all you ever had
Hammer that nail, beat it into your wall
I can tell you your painting will not fall
Hammer that nail, beat it as hard as you can
And maybe it'll help sometimes
Sometimes I find myself in quite a jam
But if you look at it different you can see what I can
Taking off your glasses to read it just like you should
I can surely tell that you're not feeling too good
Don't try to tell me, don't try to make me feel bad
Cause a nail without a hammer is all you ever had
Hammer that nail, beat it into your wall
I can tell you your painting will not fall
Hammer that nail, beat it as hard as you can
And maybe it'll help sometimes

If I only suffered like you think you do
I'd be calling out for help like you never do
You say you're all alone but you're in a big group
How'd you like to step in another man's shoes?
You can sit there without a worry
Doing all the things you wanna do
But when you get on top of the world
Who's gonna follow you?
If I only suffered like you think you do
Well, I'd be calling out for help like you never do
When I get out of bed I don't bitch like you do
Get out and put on your dancing shoes
You can sit there without a worry
Doing all the things you wanna do
But when you get on top of the world
Who's gonna follow you?
If I only suffered like you think you do
I'd be calling out for help like you never do
You say you're all alone but you're in a big group
How'd you like to step in another man's shoes?
You can sit there without a worry
Doing all the things you wanna do
But when you get on top of the world
Who's gonna follow you?

Care for me and I'll leave you be
Stir up the pot and add your honey
Put your worries down and your spirits up
You got a whole world to see when you bring me
Bring me the jubilee
Carry it over to me
We'll have a ball at the jubilee
Turn your engine off because we run on steam
What a crazy place such a dreary scene
Well they're setting up a tent where all the soldiers went
They tell me they're having, yeah they're having
Having a jubilee
Bring me the jubilee
Carry it over to me
We'll have a ball at the jubilee
Musket fire rings through the air
Black powder and hateful stares
Cotton's still king and Varina's still queen
But through it all they still are having
Having a Jubilee
Bring me the jubilee
Carry it over to me
We'll have a ball at the jubilee
