WAKE OF THE FLOOD by K. Dennis
Lives battered
A family shattered
Crushed by the weight of the fate
In the wake of the flood
Sittin' on the roof
I'm watching roots float by
Nothing can be set right
In the wake of the flood
Why'd I have to go and let the levee break?
Let that river of hurt engulf the plains
Why'd you have to go and never look back?
Won't you give me my last second chance?
Six feet high and rising
A great lake to the horizon
There on the wall, a water line
Marks the new beginning of time
In the wake of the flood

JEFF BRIDGES by K. Dennis
She said I'm tired of the way you been treating me
It's just wrong, wrong, wrong
She said you know it's not love why do you hang around
The days drag on
She said I'm looking for an answer
I read books I rent videos
I can't get to sleep and then I can't wake up
Don't be surprised when I go
She said you think no one would look twice at me
Well you're wrong, wrong, wrong
I'm gonna find a man who'll give me what I need
Somewhere to belong
She said someday there'll be a knock at the door
And Jeff Bridges will be standing there
He'll save me like he saved Jessica Lange
You big ape, the neighbors will stare
She said you're bad company, you tucker me out
We're just wrong, wrong, wrong
I'm gonna get fearless against all odds
I'm sayin' so long
She said I won't see you in the morning
I've rented my last picture show
I'm headin' out to find me a starman
I'm headin' out to find my glow

PEACE OF MIND by K. Dennis
She threw the bouquet out the car window
Said "Pull over here, I'm out of this show"
Fed up with the lies and little treacheries
As the rush hour crushed the petals and leaves
Peace of mind is what she's looking for
Why is it so hard to find?
Peace of mind is what she's looking for
It's an uphill climb
She's walking down the road cursing the luck
Got to get control, got to get unstuck
Got to find somebody with eyes that see
The value of truth and decency
Peace of mind is what she's looking for
Why is it so hard to find?
Peace of mind is what she's looking for
Why is life unkind?
Convenience store stop, pick up some butts
Sittin' on a curb trying to figure what's what
Why do people play these stupid games?
Confusion is a cover - gotta be someone to blame
Sometimes he felt bad about the pain he caused
Hoped the roses would mask his flaws
But the blossoms are broken, the fragrance is gone
She's traded the flowers for a brand new dawn
Peace of mind is what she's looking for
Why is it so hard to find?
Peace of mind is what she's looking for
Why is life unkind?
Looking for peace of mind...

SWIMMING IN BLUE STREETS by A. Bergey
When the sun ain't shining
And the rain is pouring down
If you want to find me
Well, you know where I'll be found
When the clouds are hanging
And the rain is pouring down
And come Sunday morning
Well, you know where I'll be found
Chorus:
Swimming in blue streets
Keeping a line on the day
Swimming in blue streets
The night will wash me away
Drop the beat of the day
Once the rain's rhythm is found
The leaves in the gutter
Well, they are now in my sound
When the weather's hanging
Can't seem to make up its mind
It's all right to follow
Don't attempt to throw a line (Chorus)
When the leaves are falling
From the weight of the rain
Although I do get sleepy
I'm not about to complain
When the sun ain't shining
And the rain is pouring down
If you want to find me
Well, you know where I'll be found (Chorus)

GOODBYE CARL by K. Dennis
Goodbye Carl
The sun will never set on you
You were more
More than just a pair of blue suede shoes
Get your cat clothes on
Get down to the tonk to get dixie fried
Goodbye Carl
God only knows what we'll do now
The trader sails on
Taking the myth around the world
Take that long promised road
Down to the beach where the feel flows
Goodbye Carl...

Sad, Sure

SAD, SURE by A. Bergey/K. Dennis
Out of the blue I heard that Peggy Sue
Had blown out her brains in a drainage ditch
She used her dad's gun and erased the sun
Just turned twenty-one but couldn't take anymore
She was sad, sure - - but that's no reason to die
She was sad, sure - - but that still don't answer why
She paid her dues going to nursing school
Peggy always wanted to help folks out
But she was on her own, couldn't phone home
'Cause her Mom was dead and Dad didn't like her much
I remember the night she drove into a parked car
Looking for my house with a carload of girls
Two years together then we drifted apart
Hadn’t heard from her in months when I got the call
She was sad, sure - - but that's no reason to die
She was sad, sure - - but that still don't answer why
Distress signals she sent friends didn't comprehend
The vultures cleaned out Peggy's house the day she died
She took her Dad's gun and chased her demons down
Did she catch up with them?
I guess we'll never know
She was sad, sure - - but that's no reason to die (or is it)
She was sad, sure - - but that still don't answer why
If you knew Peggy Sue
Then you'd know why I feel blue...

WORTHLESS BLUES by K. Dennis
I've got the worthless blues
I've got the worthless blues
Worthless blues, right down to my shoes
Got the worthless blues
Don't know what to do
I drive a worthless car
To a worthless job
I feel worthless when I get there
And then when I leave at night
I get the worthless blues
Don't know what to do
I could stay away
And stay in bed all day
I could jump in that car
And take a drive to the country
Very far
But you can't drive far enough away
To escape the worthless blues
I've got the worthless blues
Don't know what to do
You feeling worthless?
Then you've got 'em!
The worthless blues
Feeling worthless
Right down to the soles of my shoe
Feeling worthless
Well I've got the worthless blues
