Everything’s Alright
I walked my daughter to the corner store
To get her that candy that she adores
Walking down the street on a warm summer’s day
Me and my little girl, everything’s okay
Hey, hey it’s alright
Everything’s okay, it’s alright
So, grab your girl and hold her tight
Cause everything’s okay tonight, it’s alright
I saw a guy in his front yard polishing his bike
You know he’s gonna’ go out, he’s gonna’ rock to tonight
People passing by in cars they got their radios on
Out of them speakers I hear that new hit song
Hey, hey it’s alright
Everything’s okay, it’s alright
So, grab your girl and hold her tight
Cause everything’s okay tonight, it’s alright
I ain’t thinking about the future
I ain’t thinking about the past
There’s just this moment
And I want to make it last
But life is short and it ain’t always sweet
Me and my little girl walking down the street
I haven’t picked up a paper, I haven’t watched the news
I haven’t paid any attention to my old blues
I’m just walking down the street with my little girl
There ain’t nothing wrong in this whole damn world
Hey, hey it’s alright
Everything’s okay, it’s alright
So, grab your girl and hold her tight
Cause everything’s okay tonight, it’s alrigh

Under The Gun
I could tell you my story
But it’d be an excuse
I can take responsibility
I can face the truth
But I hate myself for
For what I’ve done
And I’m reminded of it everyday living
Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
I try to stay busy
I write letters and I read
It never mattered much to me on the outside
But now it means everything to me
In the words I try to hide but
I can’t run
There’s no transcending when you’re living
Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
This ain’t no way
This ain’t no way to live
Sometimes I think about getting married
And settling down
You know, making something of my life
If I ever get out
But I have nightmares too man
Of what I may become
Sometimes I worry that I’m better off living
Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun
Under the gun

California Angel
I’ve heard the stories
I’ve seen the scars
What was it like
Growing up behind bars
They gave you life
They beat you to death
They never let you
Catch your breath
My little angel
California angel
My little angel
My California angel
They held you down
They kept you back
How did you ever
Find your track
Now all these people talk
But they don’t have a clue
About the things you’ve seen
And lived through
My little angel
California angel
My little angel
My California angel
Your body started changing
They hated you more
How did you ever become
The woman you are
They filled you with horror
They taught you pain
You thought little bitch
Was your name
You keep your chin up
But the past is always right there
A ringing telephone
It fills you with fear
They shattered your heart
They scattered it at sea
But you still found
A piece for me
My little angel
My little angel
California angel
My little angel
My California angel
You’re my little angel

Jackson Township
The rain falls hard on Jackson Township
The wind blows through, straight down Lincoln Avenue
The traffic light swings in Jackson Township
From red to green while I am blue
The sky’s been gray for six long days
Six long days, I haven’t seen the sun
I haven’t felt its rays in Jackson Township
That’s nothing new in this borough
Folks ‘round here don’t have much to say
The sky’s been gray for forever and a day
The streets they flood, in Jackson Township
Like a river of mud down Lincoln Avenue
