Brenda & Diane
in a car full of cash, credit cards, and
that reckless abandon
that comes with a win
Put it all on three
shaking hands, some dice, and a drink
Yeah this place fucking stinks
At least you don't have to think
I was playing my songs
I've had some ups and downs, I've played to no one at all
except Brenda & Diane
a couple drinks in their hand
They said “son, do you know?
We’ve been running for years til we run out of dough”
and they stumbled a bit
and asked me to sit
I laughed and said “fine”
Diane said “shut the fuck up. You think you’re being so kind
to a couple old ladies
who ain't worth your time.”
She said “you cant imagine
what we’re running from
yeah your life’s on the line kid.
Your life is a gift
and you act like it’s a joke.”
As I was driving home
I reached into my pocket and I pulled out a note
and it just flew out the window
and I just kept driving home.

Hollywood Ending

It’s a Hollywood ending
Another album in the books
And would you know, the way it look
I could barely sing these songs at first
To Mom and Dad: I know it hurts
Sometimes I sing so loud it hurts
The things I sing about, they hurt
But there is love beneath these words
Remember walking in the woods
The lagoons were where we could
See the love within our hearts shine just like a birdsong
Shine just like the water rippling in the wind
To Mom and Dad: I give you my love
And to Elizabeth: I give you my love
To my aunts and uncles: I give you my love
And to my cousins: I give you my love
And to this family tree: I give it my love
Is it all of me?
Is it enough?
Even there I know I need
To love the darkness in me
He’s hiding it
He’s been so scared
He’s been in that family tree
And I give him my love
Yeah I give him my love
I give him my love
Yeah I give him my love
