i'm stealth, I'm dark, I'm invisible i can resist the gravitational pull you think you see me but you really don't my appearance is always cloaked i'm underneath the Radar i can fly high and I can fly low i could be there but you wouldn't know the sun and the moon they do not reveal i am made of undetectable steel i'm underneath the radar bullets flying all around i can take my craft underground you try to stop me to no avail you try to catch me but you'll always fail i'm underneath the radar against superior intelligence there's no resistance and there's no defense i leave a trail no one can see and how i do it is a mystery i'm underneath the radar

You can never see what I see And you can never see what my eyes see When they look into your eyes and they kiss me You can never feel like I feel You can never know what my heart knows When I take you in my arms and I hold you You make my life complete With all your love so sweet Oh yeah, you do You really Do You really do And I'm beginning to think That it's all, one big beautiful dream And every night I thank my lucky stars That it happened to me and you I can never see, what you see I can never see what your eye's see When they look into my eye's and they kiss me I can never feel what you feel But, if you feel like I feel That our love is real and it should be Cause you make my life complete With all your love so sweet Oh yeah, you do You really do You really do

Thanksgiving day, that's when you went away And left me with a kitchen full of food. The turkey had been stuffed, you said you had enough. and that you were gong back to school You left me standing there stuffing in my hair And yellow sweet potato in a pot All that pumpkin pie, and you wonder why I overcooked those green beans, thanks a lot When you got home that night It must have been a sight The empty bottle and the Ice pack on my head No, but you made a turkey san...(dwich) That you loaded up with cran... (berry) and then, you went off to bed. Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving Day Thanks A Lot Thanksgiving Day!

i fished the Gulf Stream down from New Orleans i ran two shrimp boats for years that gulf was clean made a good living for me and my family now it's being threatened by the oil company three hundred years this delta was our home. where we gonna go, when all those shrimp are gone? droughts and the hurricanes couldn't make us leave now it's being poisoned by the oil company wading waste deep in the oil covered mud trying to save the critters that are dieing in that sludge. but somewhere there's a board room far across the sea. and someone's getting dividends from this tragedy privatize the profit publicize the debt there's a lesson to be learned but, we ain't learned it yet. we're driving down this highway and we think that we are free. but, we just sold our soul's to the oil company i fished the Gulf Stream down from New Orleans i ran two shrimp boats for years that gulf was clean made a good living for me and my family now it's being threatened by the oil company

always seek the truth never tell a lie. that's what the good book say's live a life of peace turn the other cheek get your reward when you're dead get you're reward when you're dead why are men such fools? when it comes to rules they believe they won't pay off unless you break 'em ever wonder why the ones who don't comply usually are the ones that make 'em? they usually are the one's that make 'em tapping in on us betraying all our trust i'm suppose to turn a blind eye a conscience shouldn't lie and I'm not allowed to talk and now I'm being branded as a spy now I'm being branded as a spy my friends and family wonder why the oath I took was real to defend a just ideal the greater good was chosen over me as it really safe to look back and know the ones that did the act are protected and allowed to go free protected and allowed to go free seems like the wrong side of justice to me always tell the truth never tell a lie that's what the good book said live a life of peace turn the other cheek that's what the good book say's live a life of peace turn the other cheek get your reward when you're dead get you're reward when you're dead

chosen people by God's own hand led by Moses to the promise land all the memories in your sight pass say no peace with you can ever last you're wandering people, your wandering still we got the courage if you got the will to take us to redemption's door or bury us forever more greed and power anger and rage save us all from the pharaoh's plagues lay down the sword and with the staff alone you've got to sheppard all your people home

i love this country and i love the flag and what it stands for too but when people use it to hide their greed it makes me feel so blue when i think of the people who fought and died so that we all could be free what will it take to realize their dream of liberty? i love this country and i love the sky the purple mountains too but if i have to live my whole life in fear i don't know what i'm gonna do when i think of the people who gave their lives so that we all could be free what will it take to realize their dream of liberty? i was there on bourbon street and i heard that radio blare there's a hurricane coming, evacuate you all should be so scared but where were the buses and what was the plan to take us from our home when those levies broke and that water came you left us all alone i love this country and i love the flag and what it stands for too but when people use it to hide the truth it makes me feel so blue i think of the people who fought and died so that we all could be free what will it take to realize their dream of liberty?

What do you think about at Christmas time? Is it the memories or the falling snow? Or is it the stories of kings and queens, that happened long ago? What will you wish for at Christmas time? Will it be presents underneath your tree? Or, will it be freedom for all mankind, and a just prosperity? Merry Christmas to you! The glooom that's with us throughout the year, seems to fade away. When love and kindness fill our hearts, on Christmas day. What do you think about at Christmas time? Is it the memories or the falling snow? Or is it the stories of Kings and Queens, that happened long ago? Merry Christmas to you!

here comes the rain, again washing down the street with my heart and there she goes, again walking out the door and taking with her every dream I had and I'm wondering what I could have done better because it's all, all or nothing if you're not sure with your heart and I know it's true what they say better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all and I feel the pain, every day second guessing every thing I did and everything I said knowing that i could have done better because it's all, all or nothing if you're not sure with your heart i know your friends all warned you they said I was the wrong way to go, oh no but I still love you baby and I just can't let go, just can't let go if you're not sure with my heart wondering what we could have had and more. all, all or nothing if you're not sure if you're not sure all or nothing

change in the weather storm clouds gather round the wind is blowin' hard and the rain is pourin' down you look out your window can't see anyone passin' by and your deafened by the noise you can't hear anybody cry but you're watching the river and you're gonna' lose your mind cause you can't go to sleep there could be floodin' anytime and you wonder is the sun ever gonna shine again is this the way we atone, for all of our sin? there's lightenin' in the sky and a twister just touched down you keep wonderin', why? and there's thunder all around then it hits you in the head and the roof blows off your house but you cower in the basement you stay quiet as a mouse and you wonder is the sun ever gonna' shine again is this the way we atone, for all our sin?

about

This is the third effort by my brother and I. This music is hand written, recorded by real players, playing real instruments, live with minimal overdubs. The objective is to capture the essence of the artist through artistic interpretation, in collaboration with hand picked artisans to produce a "live" record. Original music, played by "real" players in a "live" room is rare. We hope you appreciate the approach. It's honest and it's real. There are no "virtual" instruments, drum loops or 'gangsta' attitudes here.
