I Don't Know Nothin'

Well I'm taking my time
I ain't taking it slow
I'm not tryna unwind
But I was always on the run from you
Making all this money
Hightailing it down to California
Where I can go spend it all on
Gambling away all my money on you
Bettin' on my chances that you'll love me
Maybe a year or now from two
But I don't know no more
No, I don't know no more
No, I don't know nothin' know more
Maybe this car's gonna run out of gas soon
Maybe I can get some gas at the gas station
Maybe the next interstation or two but
I don't really know nothin' no more no
I don't really know nothin' no more
I don't really know how I got here
No, I don't really know how I got here
No, I'm just traveling down to California
Maybe to Vegas
But I don't know
I'm just gambling my money away on you
Taking the chance that you'll love me back
Bettin' on the chances that you'll love me back one day
But I don't really know
Singing the blues
Singing the blues
Hightailing it down to California
Maybe to Vegas, maybe to Texas
Maybe to Oregon, maybe to Washington State
Maybe to DC telling all these politicians to just
Give me all their money
But I don't know nothin'
No I don't know nothin'
How about you teach me something?
Cause I don't really know nothing no more no
Well I'm so sorry you didn't like me Mrs. Perfection
But my clowning days are over baby I changed direction
But I don't know nothing no more no
No I don't know nothing no more no
How about you try to teach me something, baby?
'Cause I don't know nothing no more no
|

2. |

Well if I ever get rich enough
You know you'll find me
Down in Cali
Gambling away my money
Working for nothing
Yet I'm living for something
Still taking my time
Just taking it slow
I'm going down
Headed South
Maybe West
But I don't know
Cause where I'm from
I came from the South
Now I'm in the East
I don't know where to go
Taking a trip down South
Where I can, go be free from
Everything around, it's just
Taking my time
Look up in the clouds
You can, see it raining down
Heavy things, coming, coming
It's coming close
Coming closer
Closer indeed, no baby come closer
No no no no no no no no
Don't go
Please don't go
Cause you're all I got
And I really don't know
What to do without
Except I just keep living on
It just keeps going on and on and on
Well maybe down South
Down in
Virginia is where you can find me
I was born and raised Panama City Beach
But I don't know much cause I was only there
When I was 1 years old
Baby don't go
No no no no no don't go
No no no no don't leave me no
Baby, baby, please, please don't go
Oh wait I'm glad that you left me
Oh baby please please please don't go
No baby please please please don't go
Hightailing down to Mexico
No baby please please please don't go
Down to Mexico
Hightailing
Right down to your soul

Well for the life of me I can't figure out what to do
I just keep running in circles and circles with you
Still on my mind and I just can't stop I'm swimming again
But I'm swimming against the current baby and I just can't stop tonight
No I just can't stop tonight
Take me disappearing thru the trip upon your mind
And thru the smoke rings of the sandals of time
Well I keep swimming back and forth against the current
But it's much too strong tonight
Strong winds are heavy blowing tonight
You'll find me, blowing in the wind
You'll find me there, next to you someday I swear
Well, the answer my friend is blowing in the wind
It just keeps going, back and forth and back and forth again
So how about you, go, disappear into the sky
Go, fly high with the birds watching overhead
I just can't understand
What's going on?
Next year's creeping up so fast
My heart, it broke just like glass
But now I'm picking the pieces up
And I just can't stop and I just can't stop
And I just keep going on and on
Writing the same old songs again
Again and again and again
Well I just can't stop I just keep going on and on
Off the top of my head, I just keep going on and on
I don't know where I belong
Maybe on the streets that's where you'll find me
In couple years, playing guitar down in the alley
Just trying to scrounge up enough money to live
Cause I lost my job for talking too much shit
Cause I lost my job for talking too much shit about
The times we live in
"If you don't agree, you can go dissapear"
That's what they told me
Then they fired me
So I quit

Butter
02:24
|
|||
|
Lazy days, those were the days when I felt so lame
Nowadays when I see your face, I can't complain
Cause life is good and finally figured out where I fit in
I'm taking my time now baby and I just can't stop to swim
Well
I'm in the belly of the beast
Hope you enjoyed the feast
Ain't as tasty as I seem
When I'm swimmin' downstream
Really hope this is a dream
But I can't break free
When I'm stuck in between
All the littlest things
I had my heart locked up for you baby
Roses on my mind and it's driving me crazy
Middle of the road just picking up daisies
Never do enough you make me feel like I'm lazy
Just another day in the clouds
Got my head to the ground
Got my body still moving but I can't hear the sounds
Never know what to say, you make me feel like a clown
And I'm so done with this bullshit and clownin' around
I joined the circus, just thought I would say
I only joined it to be on display
Like a double headed snake slithering thru your veins
I only joined the circus cause you needed a break
Oh how the days slipped away like butter
With my head deep down in the gutter
Oh how the days slipped away like butter
With my head deep down in the gutter
Always on the run
Taking my time, never pressing rewind
You're never on my mind, and it was so sublime
I'm feeling so sublime and I just can't find time
Cause I was always on the run and you were always on my mind
Got my, head slipping and I just can't wait
To go back home, move to a new state
And I can't wait
Til' I get rich
And I can leave this place
And I can finally find a place of my own
Finally be on my own
Feeling better on my own
Maybe I'm better off alone

Live Responsibly
03:54
|
|||
|
Listen to the wind howl in the night
See that bright light breaking down upon the trees
Still stuck here in the middle
Putting the pieces back together again
They went down the drain
Swirling down into the sea
Easy it'll be tonight
To sleep without you next to me
They say we should live responsibly
But all of us out here are, drinking freely
Instead of coming out of here
We'll be buried six feet under in the ground
Now the kid in the class finally comes out of his shell
And he turns right to the teacher with a grin
Says "You gotta let me pass"
Then he turns back and walks out of class
It's stereotypically, a never ending trilogy
Overdue
He's trying to find some help
But he's stuck here in Hell
None of them wanna help
But he's crawling out of his shell
And he's trying to find some help
But he's stuck here right in Hell
None of them wanna help
But he's crawling out of his shell
This negativity
Is driving this train right to insanity
He's trying to find some help
But he's stuck here in Hell
None of them wanna help
But he's crawling out of his shell
He's trying to find some help
But he's stuck here right in Hell
None of them wanna help
But he's crawling out of his shell
It's stereotypically
A never ending trilogy
Overdue

Being A Kid
03:06
|
|||
|
Well
I've been here
For days it seems like
For weeks it seems like
Years have gone away
And it seems strange that
This life has changed so fast
10 years gone down the drain
I can't remember what it's like
Being a kid
Maybe I was wrong for thinking that
Life would be so much better
When I was older
Well in a way I was right
But things aren't as simple as they were when I was a kid
Never thought about war
Never thought about hate
Never thought about racism
Never thought about nothing like that no
I just thought about peace
Didn't even think about it though
Guess I never really had to
Cause when I was born as a kid
I just wanted everybody to love each other
Isn't that what this life supposed to be about?
Aren't we here for the same damn reason?
Just to live?
|

Smile and Grin
01:50
|
|||
|
Well I just feel like I woke up in Hell
Someday-ay-ay-ay-ays
Well maybe that's just me being pretty overdramatic
Cause I guess this life ain't as bad as I say it is
Well I don't know why somedays I feel like complete shit
But I just, try to do my best
I just smile and grin
Smile and grin
Get away with
Just trying to be nice
Well I just keep going on and on and on
Never stop, just keep writing all these songs
Maybe one day I'll end up on the radio
But until then just keep playing all my songs
Out your stereo
Maybe drink some hot cocoa and put on a record or two
|

8. |
Can't Tell
01:55
|
|||
|
Well I was traveling down the east coast headed south
One day in the future I think
Well I don't know
But I pray to God if somebodys up there above watching me
I can't tell, if I know how, to be true
I don't really know
I can't tell, I can't tell, no more
I can't tell the difference between me and you
No more
Driving to the corner store said I got no registration
Trying to whip up a calzone in the oven
Haven't really had anything to eat today
But I really can't tell if I just want to
Eat something for dinner tonight
Because I haven't eaten anything for three days straight
And I'm starting to
Lose a lot of goddamn weight these days
Maybe it's from smoking
Maybe it's from not eating nothing
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
Well I'm so sorry that I hit your car
It was pretty slippery
It's not my fault my car didn't stop
When it's below zero, and the roads are frozen
You gotta write me up
File a report
I gotta pick it up
What's up with that
I'm not cool with that no
You really did me dirty
And I'm so sorry
I steered into the ditch
Guess it doesn't matter
Cause you still
Called the police
Well I spent half my life grazing around
Fields of the daisies
Just dreaming about
All the times I'd be in Cali
Thinking about
All the times I'd be on the beach
Singing some songs about
Being on the beach in California with my crew
Joining The Sircus, running some games, you're a fool
If you don't think I can make it one day, you know you better belive
That you're wrong
Cause I'm on my way
We're on our way
To California

Days Fly By
02:00
|
|||
|
Oh darling days fly by
Still got you on my mind
Still got some miles to drive
But I'm just waiting to fly
So when it's my time to shine
Please baby don't be shy
I know it might take sometime
Til' then I'm just living my life
Well nowadays just ain't the same since you've gone
But all the time, I can't complain
Living life writing songs
Well maybe one day with a twist of fate I'll wake up
You'll be in my arms
Til' then I guess I just keep writing all these stupid love songs
I try to smile and you just grin
I'm just wasting my time
I'm in a maze, stuck in a daze between the littlest rhymes
And I can't find your face next to me in the mirror these days
So strange, guess I've gone away without you babe
Oh darling days fly by
Still got you on my mind
Still got some miles to drive
But I'm just waiting to fly
So when it's my time to shine
Please baby don't be shy
I know it might take sometime
Till then I'm just living my life
Well if loves what I got
I wanna give you all of it
Wanna give you my love
Give you all of it
But we ain't got no time for that though
And I just can't stop the show and I just
Can't stop going I can't stop going and I
Can't stop no no no no I just can't stop no
|

Doing Fine
01:53
|
|||
|
Well you been on my mind so much
Baby, I can't sleep
I can't sleep right
So I, stay up til 3
I wake up late and I miss
The way that you
You used to hold me tight
And I wonder why
You left me all alone
Threw away our life
Well it's in the past but I
Still got you on my mind
I can't get you outta get my head
Baby I don't feel right
Cause I miss the way that I used to hold you tight
And tell you it's okay to not feel alright
You got the whole world in your hands
But it'll be alright
I just hope you're doing fine
I just hope you're doing alright
I just hope it's alright
I just hope you're doing alright
Yeah

Something About You
02:22
|
|||
|
Mountainsides never seemed so warm and cozy
They hold me tight as I weep away
Well I know love's a fickle thing but I think she loves me
Well I'll just keep picking off daisies til I know
We knew enough, we grew so much
We loved so long, but where did all the time go?
These memories, stuck in between
Letting go and moving on, well I don't know
Well there's just something about you
That makes me lose my mind
Yeah there's just something about you
That makes me, just lose my mind
And I don't know
Went on a date cause I was lonely
We held hands and we got stoned
But when I left you know I still felt empty
We never shared the same old souls
And there's just something about you
That makes me lose my mind
Yeah there's just something about you
That makes me feel it in my soul
And I don't know
If you're still there
Well I don't know
But I think you care
That's all I know
|
||||
13. |
||||
|
Ain't it sad how
Just like the daytime
I fade out with the streetlights
Like a captain out at sea who's been gone too long
Moral compass pointing South, never right or wrong
Moon illuminating like a lampshade
Red carpet moving madly thru my headspace
Dreaming about Cali and the daytrade
Selling secrets to the spy beneath my bedframe
Well, it's okay
Drinking Green Tea
Feeling okay
Now that I'm finally awake
I just turned 21
And I just can't wait
Til I release these songs
Well I, joined the circus
Cause you said I was a clown
Didn't come out with a fortune but didn't I make you proud
And prove it
Well I just want you're approval
So I, stole a clown suit
And I quit my job
You ask my if I'm kidding and I just say
"My name is Rob, it's nice to meet you"
So I robbed the sheriff cause I changed my name
They found me out at midnight and murder I exclaimed
As he pinned me up to the car where I had a badge that fell
Right outta my pocket and I had a tail to tell
Said "I've been bumming in the streets, I just stole a badge and a few receipts"
"I just need to make some money to get me back up on the streets"
Well he, dropped the charges and I got away
Right when I was leaving I could swear I heard him say
We're gonna get you
So I became a fry cook, new place just settled in
Couple days later there's a sign that says "Don't come again"
"We're closing"
So now I'm, jobless and living in cheap motels
But my best friend Mickey Mouse told me he likes living with clowns
Well it's so lonely out here when all you got is a mouse
And it's so hard to be so happy when you're
All by yourself, in a new apartment
So I called my boss up just to see why we were closed
She just tried telling me "The owners didn't like the way we close"
"Good riddance"
Well I'm so sorry you didn't like me Mrs. Perfection
But my clowning days are over baby I changed direction
So if you wanna ask me how I evaded infection
I just chose to keep my distance
Just to keep with projections in cases
Well I picked up my phone cause I had a call from Elon Musk
He just tried telling me buying a Tesla was a must
So I hopped into my spaceship and into the stars I went
I could swear I saw a satellite with a federation invading it
Well if space is for extra-terrestrials, what's it doing with a clown?
I could swear I just get lonelier every time you're not around
My head fills with wonders, I flip upside down
I got scared that you didn't like me and you just
Called me a clown
Well I think I proved it
|

14. |
Gray Summer
02:09
|
|||
|
Well you look up in the sky all you see is the gray summer
The flowers so gold, that shine like diamonds
In the rough
And it's so strange how even when I go searching
I still can't seem to find what I lost
I can't stop and I just can't stop til I
Find what I lost
And I, can't seem to find it
Everywhere I look it seems it
Just keeps moving on and on and on
Just like the summer sky
When it turns so gray
No no no, no don't go
No no no, no don't go
|
||||
15. |
Down the Drain
01:09
|
|||
|
I drift around
Headed downtown
Nowhere left to go
Still stuck between
All the littlest things
Down the drain
Toilet sink
I can't complain
Going down the drain
|
||||
16. |
Drift Around
01:40
|
|||
|
Well I drift around
Headed way back town
Well I can't complain
How fast the seasons change
I close my eyes then it turns to spring
Well
Well
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
|
||||
17. |
Dead Batteries
02:46
|
|||
|
No no no no
No no no no
Well
Times change so fast
Stranded in the past
Seems like the clock ticks fast
Even when the batteries are dead
I just don't understand
How things could change
With a snap of my finger
Almost like nothing changed
Oh oh oh
|
||||
18. |
||||
|
Yeah
Everyday feel like a paradox, when I'm swimming and swimming
Drains clogged and I just keep, swimming and swimming
I just can't sink deep, deeper into the abyss
That's not where I wanna be, I'm just running amiss
Well I can't slip up, cause if I do I'll panic
And I just slipped up, but I haven't panicked
Just wanna go to the disco, but I don't wanna panic
Just wanna have a picnic, but I don't wanna panic
Just wanna have a picnic, I don't wanna panic
Just wanna have a picnic, I don't wanna panic
Just wanna have a picnic, I don't wanna panic
|
||||
19. |
Sunshine Picnic
02:32
|
|||
|
I went to the store just to buy some groceries
So I could go have a picnic out and see the trees
Sunflowers grew so bright and I just wanted to swim swim swim
By the ocean, but the sunflowers just creeped me out even more
Oh they swallowed me whole
I just wanna have a picnic out in the sunshine, by the seashore
Just wanna have a picnic out in the sunshine with my baby, oh oh
I just wanna have a picnic out in the sunshine and have some fun alone
Cause I ain't got nobody to love, but nobody no I'm on my own
No baby come on
Take me to show
Take me to show
Please take me to the show
I'm gonna put on a show
Don't take me to the show
Cause I'm your show
|

20. |
Captain Charlie
01:46
|
|||
|
Feeling rotten in the core
Like an apple on the tree
Spent too much time out in the sunlight
Dreaming about the sea
Drowning up in laughter and swelling up in tears
He kept a tight grip on his saddle
And he rode out his fear
In the moonlight
He was dancing all his pain away
Little ponies' not enough
He bought a ship that's headed out to sea
Well he became a captain, ol Charlie did the most
He was working on the railroads, and leading up his post
I saw him in the country, well he became a friend
Half his heart was fragile, and the other wouldn't bend
He was so cool
Oh sweet Charlie why'd you have to go
Said you were so cool
Oh Charlie why'd you have to go
|
||||
21. |
The Worlds Gone Mad
04:55
|
|||
|
I just want the world to be happy
Why is everybody so sad?
Where's the love? Where's the peace?
We still got some time left to repeat
I don't think anybody gets it
It doesn't make sense
But we're all the same
Just wanna do our best
Waking up, have nobody to blame
I don't understand, why is everyone so sad?
It doesn't make sense, why are you so mad
It doesn't make sense to me
The worlds gone mad i just cant believe
All the hate, overcoming the peace
I don't know
Where to go
Maybe if we try we can stop it
Maybe if we finally try to be a little nice
We can fix it all but
I don't know when the sun sets
If everybody will follow
I always try to be happy
Sometimes it makes me glad
Always gotta strive to be better
I don't wanna end up bad
Well it's our life, if you treat it right
Being good in the soul
In your life, no one has to tell you nothing, no no
It doesn't make sense to me why are you so mad?
No it doesn't make sense to me, no it doesn't make sense to me
The world's gone mad and I just can't believe all the hate, that's right in between
Why is everybody so mad?
Why is everyone so mad?
The world's gone crazy
And I don't know just what to do
I don't understand
Why is everybody so sad?
People always try to be happy
Sometimes it makes me glad
Always striving to be better
I don't wanna end up doing bad
Wish you would just talk to me
I really hope you're doing alright
