As I gaze into your eyes
Reach out and hold your hand

FOR THE SHAPE I'M IN
Got some advice tellin' me that a man,
Shouldn't burn his candles from both ends.
Thank you very kindly, my new found friend,
'Blieve I'M IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE FOR THE SHAPE I'M IN.
This old world starts to shakin', wears my patience thin.
Time to put my foot down, get back on track again.
What matters more that what we are, matters in the end.
'Blieve I'M IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE FOR THE SHAPE I'M IN.
_____
I know where you're comin' from, I know you mean well
And I want you to know, I appreciate the help.
I look around at where I am, think back where I been.
'Blieve I'M IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE FOR THE SHAPE I'M IN.
_____
I might be bound for glory, might be bound for sin.
I might be bound to lose a race, I might be bound to win.
I might be bound to criticize what I don't understand.
Still, I'M IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE FOR THE SHAPE I'M IN.
_____
I know where you're comin' from, I know you mean well
And I know that you’re only, thinkin’ about my health.
I look around at where I am, think back where I been.
'Blieve I'M IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE FOR THE SHAPE I'M IN.

MUST’VE BEEN A COWBOY
Templeton Thompson / Sam Gay
He was a young man, but he had an old soul
You could tell by the look in his eyes.
Said he’d always had this notion, he was born too late.
Said he felt that way,since he was just a child.
Then he said,
(Refrain:)
“Must’ve been a drifter, coz I still love to roam.
Must’ve been a dreamer, coz the dream still lingers on.
I still get this feelin’time to time
That I must’ve been a cowboy in another life.”
____
Night I dream of horses
Hear the thunder of the herd
Feel the coolness
Of a frontier summer night....
This aint just imigination
These old images are real
Catchin’ up to me
From some forgotten time.
Refrain...
------
I knew these stars when they were younger
I been down this road before

Let's Go Get Cloned
Darlin', you know how much that I love you
And I know that you love me too,
But one lifetime lived through,
And just one dance with you
In this world that is all we have known.
Now some may say that true love lasts forever.
But today we can go that one better.
Almost forever I am told
Just like streets paved in gold, Honey,
Let's go get cloned.
Refrain: Then
We can, clone the cat
...We can, clone the dog
We can, clone the cow
We can; clone the hog
We can, clone the kids
Do you get my rap?
Is this clonin' thing really where it's at?
We'll start by clonin' Mom and Dad
'N we'll raise'm 'til they're growd.
Then you and I can clone ourselves
We'll be recycled souls.
On and on, on it goes
Beats all you ever saw
Lord O' Mercy, stop and think
I'll be my own grandpa ...And we can, clone the cat...
Refrain...
Later on we'll all go fish
My grandson, son and me.
We'll talk about the thing's we've seen
And what we're gonna be.
We might sing a song or two
Sittin' by that riverside.
We'll change the words to match our mood
So clonesome we could cry...And we can, clone the cat...
Refrain...
If all goes well the first time
Just exactly like we planned.
Next time we'll come back as twins
We'll do it all again.
I'll have you, you'll have me
We never will be lonely.
Two of you, two of me
You are my one and clonely.....O h w e c a n...
Refrain...But I don't know about that.
Is this clonin thing really where it's at?

A Little Bit Of Everything
Whole lotta hope with a bit of doubt
We disagree and we talk things out.
Someways easy, someways hard it seems
Love is A Little Bit Of Everything.
Mixed with the good is a little bad
We let go, hold to what we've had.
Someways grounded, someways on the wing
Love is A Little Bit Of Everything.
________
Chorus:
Love is A Little Bit Of Everything
Tears of joy and tears of pain
Days of sunshine, and days of rain
Something lost, and, something gained
We hold back, we take a leap of faith.
We turn a leaf, we remain the same
Someways work, someways a game
Love is A Little Bit Of Everything.
________
We share our feelings, then we make a vow
We lie in silence, we cry out loud
Someways pauper, someways a king
Love is A Little Bit Of Everything.

Tag:
Someways pauper, someways a king
Love is A Little Bit Of Everything.

TUGGIN' ON MY HEART STRINGS
There is a tear, that I feel
Way in the corner of my eye.
Just to think, you might leave
Without even one sweet kiss good bye.
I know how and I can give it to you
All the love I hold up inside.
I'm not tryin' to console you, pacify or control you
Love I feel I can not hide.
_____
Chorus:
I feel you TUGGIN' ON MY HEART STRINGS
If ever I feel alone
You're TUGGIN' ON MY HEART STRINGS
I don't have to feel so far from home.
I know the joy your love brings
To the Soul of me your love springs
And I can feeeel you
TUGGIN' ON MY HEART STRING...GGGS
_____
I am a puppet, you are in control.
Moon and stars hangin' 'round in the sky
Seem to whisper, you aint lonely no more.
Lord, it's got me on a natural high.
So whenever, I feel a need for your love
Even though we may be apart.
All my love I give, there is no other way to live
I feel you tuggin' on my heart.

A SATISFIED MAN
In a place far away, thru a maze that is time,
Life comes and it goes and it lays on the line.
There are things to be learned from foe, and friend,
These lessons will make you A SATISFIED MAN.
If you knew you would get back twice what you give,
Would you find it so hard to live and let live?
A part of a purpose or a part of a plan,
A choice to be made by A SATISFIED MAN.
_____Refrain:
In a race that's worth running, give it all that you can,
If that's what it takes to be A SATISFIED MAN.
When you've done all the good work in this world you can,
Know, you will be A SATISFIED MAN. Know, you will be A SATISFIED MAN.
_____
Life is a struggle, Life was a breeze.
Now our future is tethered to what we believe.
Will you do unto others or give less than a damn?
In the end who will be A SATISFIED MAN?
Oh hear me now brother, oh hear me now son,
Good fortune be with you wherever you run.
May your days they be many, may you do all you can,
May you always be A SATISFIED MAN.
_____Refrain:
In a race that's worth running, give it all that you can,
If that's what it takes to be A SATISFIED MAN.
When you've done all the good work in this world you can,
Know, you will be A SATISFIED MAN. Know, you will be A SATISFIED MAN.
____Tag:
When you've done all the good work in this world you can,
Know, you will be A SATISFIED MAN. Know, you will be A SATISFIED MAN.
Know, you will be A SATISFIED MAN. Know, you will be A SATISFIED MAN.

The Web Of Life
Jesus Christ, was a man,
Like you and me, He walked this land.
To speak the Truth, He took the fall.
But for our Faith, now go we all.
He talked in tongue, He talked in riddle.
He'd talk a lot, He'd talk a little.
Words He spoke, are known to all
Who care to hear, a Distant Call.
_____
Now, straight and narrow a path may be,
With open mind much more we see.
Reserving judgement, understand,
The Web of Life flows on,
Strand by strand.
_____
Beats anything I've ever seen,
A starving mass and a war machine.
The sword of might bedfellows keep,
To wage a war in the name of Peace.
Now gather you all in the East,
To reap the spoils of the Beast.
Might makes right a destiny,
To leave the poor, with only their need.
_____
Yeah, straight and narrow a path might be,
With open heart much more we see.
Reserving judgement, understand,
The Web of Life flows on, Copyright: 11-07-2002

You may believe in nothing more,
Than counting wealth or keeping score.
Living from your heart you find,
There comes a Light to who once was blind.
Now hear the voice of Abraham,
Carried widely by the Wind,
Substance of each Soul within,
All Sisters, All Brothers, All Women, All Men.
_____
Now, straight and narrow a path might be,
With open eyes much more we see.
Reserving judgement, understand,

The Sense Of It All
We all were simply minding our own business.
There’s no need to defend that we were innocent.
On that ugly day referred to now as those events,
Well it came and went and made no sense at all.
Now lovin’ your neighbor’s not the hit it was
And they tell us there’s no tellin’ who to really trust.
You got to get a grip on how to push and shove
And there’s some thing there that makes no sense at all.
_____
Is this the cold war warmed over again?
Tell me wh is your foe, who is your friend?
Do you feel a little older, is it lookin’ like the end?
Is this the Cold War warmed over again?
_____
I recall when I look back into our history
Hearing they don’t love their lives like you and me.
If a line was drawn across the sand are you ready to believe
Or is there something there that makes sense at all?
Is it true that from the inside’s where we fall apart?
And the end is so much clearer than the place to start?
Now is the time to reach into your brother’s heart
Until we find The Sense Of It All.
_____
Is this the Cold War warmed over again?
Tell me who is your foe, who is your friend?
Do you feel a little older, is it lookin’ like the end?
Is this the Cold War warmed over again?
… Do you feel a little older, is it lookin’ like the end?
Is this the Cold War warmed over again?

Only Love Will Last
Oh, the taste of blood and sweat and tears
Have we not enough to last for years?
Tell me when, tell me when, tell me when, will we learn.
From depths of despair to whatever we dream
To the top of the mountain hear the freedom bell ring
Tell me when, tell me when, tell me when, will we learn.
Chorus:
We can see the Light of future
Or live blindly in the past.
Of what each in time shall leave behind,
Only Love Will Last.
Only Love, Only Love, Only Love Will Last.
____
You can saddle your horse, go ridin' on home.
Be a part or be alone.
Tell me when, tell me when, tell me when, will we learn.
We can reach that plain of common ground
When Love inside, once lost, is found.
Tell me when, tell me when, tell me when, will we learn.
Chorus:
We can see the Light of future
Or live blindly in the past.
Of what each in time shall leave behind,
Only Love Will Last. Copyright 8-26-2002

Doc Mason Fredericksburg, Texas
I was a 20 years old pre-med student when I was given a Gibson Guitar for Christmas in 1970. I took to it. Music had long been a part of my life. I started whistling when I was 2 years old, and called it my horn. I cut my teeth on Hank Williams… Summer of 1972, I met a Blues Guitar playing sharecropper named, Mance Lipscomb, who advised me to, “Be the best at what you do.” I took that to heart. ... more
