Carry On
Wish we couldn’t see, what we cannot be
You mind runs from sin, but only cold cash wins
You want to save this life; grab your pistols and your knives
You’re going to fight a foe; that you cannot find
Chorus
But I only shed one black tear
I don’t show the Devil my fears
Step up to the plate and swing
Knock that bad boy out of the ring
Riding down the windy, Eastside road
The grapevines line the highway and the moon steals the show
I throttle this motorcycle like, it, can , fly
Taken the corners at 99
Twisting and turning, this bike carries me on
Corner after corner to the; break of dawn
They say I’ll have to fight a foe that I’ll never find
I just realized; I had to, look inside

MY LAST COIN

LAST COIN
Done many wild things, did some yesterday.
I just keep on asking you, to not run away
Bet my last coin; she’d come back to me
Now Im out of time, guess Ill wait and see.
Holes in my shoes, mud on my jeans
She don’t care much how Im seen; just how Im received.
Chorus
Sometimes you’ve got to let go; find out what you know
My Heart bleeds tonight.
People got keys buried deep inside
They unlock the doors of your mind
Don’t worry about your head, when your driven insane
Just go out and keep walking down that Line
Don’t have many tattoos, fifty six scars to choose
Each one of them is a story about something I had to lose.
Leaves turn to dust, metal to rust
Ashes to ashes; we alll fall down
She was all mine, happy all the time
Till I had that dream about the things that could never be.
Chorus
Ill take the Country, some dandalion wine
Sweet mountain air; sunsets and moonrise
No one cares about the choices you make, just keep it safe and keep it sane
But, everytime you break its like we all got to stop and shake
People scream about the end of days, whining about different kinds of ways
All I need you to do is get up and do what you say.
Chorus
Bet my last coin; she’ll come back to me
Holes in my shoes; she’ll come back to me
Mud on my jeans; she’ll come back to me
Cracks in my heart; she’ll come back to me
Tears in my eyes; she’ll come back to me
All my mistakes; she’ll come back to me
Walk 1000 miles; she’ll come back to me
Dusty and broke; she’ll come back to me
Bet my last coin; she’ll come back to me
Holes in my shoes; she’ll come back to me
Mud on my jeans; she’ll come back to me
Cracks in my heart; she’ll come back to me

BLIND ME

BLIND ME
Look at the Loney Bird; flying from the tree tops
It just must be heard; if its going to be set free.
I don’t really know; if it’s a cry for help or a song of Love
Blind me today; Blind me tomorrow.
Cause I don’t want to see; what you’ve done to me.
I don’d want to drink; oil from the Gargoyle.
I don’t want to know; what you’ve done to me.
Water, water everywhere; not a drop to drink.
I've warned you before; play with the fire and you’ll get burned.
Look at you rusty crown; look at your dusty thrown.
Castles made of sand; will fall unto the ground.
And I don’t want to be; caged for Eternity.

KIND of KIND
Music & Lyrics written by Stephanie Chevalier
Accompanied by Mitchel Slade
Well, I tested the waters today
Turns out the stars were brighter
The noise clearer, my mind simmers
My heart wanders…
Well, I tested the waters today
Just to hear you say
You don’t get enough praise
For being sane
Wish I could say the same
But my heart is in the game
It’s the fight for the rhyme
That makes the time fly
I don’t mind,
I’ve seen the sign
I live a life
So higher than my own high
And I don’t mind if you like
Another Kind
‘Cause we’ll just test the tides
And then we’ll take a dive
Into a different time
And I’m sure you’ll find
The Kind of Kind
You’re looking for
It’s less than kin, but more than kind
It’s more than in and less than being left behind
It’s more than binds the ties of your heart
And it’ll tear you apart
Until the days restart
But I am still sure
That we will cure
We will refine
The Kind of Kind
You’re looking for
You’re looking for
You’re looking for

OLD TOOTH

OLD TOOTH
Found an old tooth, it was in my pocket
When I was young, should’ve put it in a locket
Chorus
Then she would’ve come to me
I’d ask her If I could be set free
I’d ask her if we could all come home
One came Home
In my other pocket, found a little button
Thought it was a coin to by a cup of coffee
Chorus
You can only sew it back your coat
Ill look good when she come back around
Ill ask her if we can all go home
One came home
Found a lit cigarette in my pocket
It was burning a hole straight through my wallet
Chorus
Finally I came to see
There was a better part of me
One that will take her home
And never let her feel alone
I found my little daughter she was in my pocket
See I carry her around in this itty bitty locket
Chorus
She will never let me forget
Life is just to short for regrets
Lets come together lets go home
Wherever it is lets go home
Searching though my jacket, found an old hatchet
Thought it was buried, a long time ago
Chorus
You can only look down at your past
How long does time really last?
Ill ask her if we can all go home
One came home
Felt a little pebble, bottom of my shoe
What’s this old dog really going to do
Chorus
You can only kick stones down the road
They’ll grow up, get bigger and bold
Ill ask her if we can all be freed
One came home
There’s a special place, bottom of my heart
Going to cast a shadow on you, right from the start
Chorus
You can never get there on your own
Not unless you’ve truly stood alone
Ill ask her if we can all be free
One came home

PICK MYSELF UP - Peter Tosh
Sittin' in the morning sun
And watching all the birds passing by
Sitting there and wondering
And waiting for my chance to fly
And I try
I said I try
I try
I really try try try
But I got to
Pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over, again (Chorus 2x)
Sittin' in the midday sun
And wondering where my meal's coming from
After working so hard
Not even piece of bread at the yard
And I said I try
Oh Lord I try
I try
I really try try try
Sittin' in the evening sun
And watching the same birds passing by
Sittin' and wondering
And waiting for the time for me to fly
And I try
I said I try
Good Lord I try
I really try try try
So long and I just find
It was just a waste of time
So long and I just find
I been been wasting all my time
I've got to pick myself up...

SHE'S LIKE ALL THE LIGHT

SHE'S LIKE ALL THE LIGHT
There was a time, when I thought the world was mine.
I’d draw the line, take my bread, and lie.
Walk through dark spaces; disregard good faces
I thought that brave was what I’d be called.
Chorus
She’s like all the light, we cannot see
She’s like all the light, we cannot see
Walk by my side, don’t let me go
This time I’m here to stay, yeah
She’s like all the light, we cannot see
She’s like all the light, we cannot see
Talk about blue skies, when the storm passes by yeah
Talk about making love, and the crowd goes wild
I don’t despair, at the thoughts of my past yeah
I can’t repair, other’s dreams
I laughed at your silly ways, disregard on so many days
Brushed aside, your gentle touch
Long walks under the full moon, naked swims in the bluest lagoons
Oh please, don’t leave me know
This is where my mind wants to be, don’t waste time endlessly
Just got to keep, keep me.
This has to go somewhere, not another path to nowhere
Just got to believe, in my stride

PRIZE PONY
Prize Pony dragged all around town
Prize Pony Shopped all around
Started out with a white mane
Now it’s all dirty and stained
Prize Pony ridden to the dust
Prize Pony guided by lust
Prize Pony sleeps on the ground
Wearing nothing but a frown
Prize Pony trampled by Love
Never quite fit like a glove
Just want shelter from the cold
Got caught, packaged and Sold.

FLY ON BY
This guitar is broken, my voice has a scratch
These fingers are all cut to shreds,
and this wallet while it’s out of cash
Chorus
Don’t you try, to steal from me
The things, I have inside
When these wings finally come back out
You can, watch me fly on by
Versus
You’ll say my choice is already made, By my actions, you’ll probably claim
But you changed the situation now
Marked the path a different way
You lit the dark completely, Shadowed my astray
But there is one thing I can tell you now
Ill never let you feel afraid
Ive said some mean things, scared your love away
There’s one thing I can tell you now
Ill never let you feel afraid

The Road
Music & Lyrics by Stephanie Chevalier
Accompanied by Mitchel Slade
Where the sidewalk ends
The road begins
I can’t wait to show you
Where my heart’s been
I want to grow with you
See the things you’ll do
You will shine like the sun
And I will see you through
We can walk along
The shore tonight
We can talk with the moon
I’ll make you feel alright
I’ll make you feel alright
Where the sidewalk ends
The road begins
I can’t wait to show you
Where my heart’s been
