Love Story - 1978
she pleaded and begged him to stay
but he turned and walked away
not really caring about what she felt
he wanted to travel and find himself.
he travelled throughout all the southwest
finding odd jobs and doing his best.
women he found plenty of
but never one that he could love.
finally realizing that the girl he had left
was the one that suited him best.
he packed his clothes and got into his car.
'but ' he did'nt have to travel very far.
for she was only a mile away
she had followed him every day.
and as their eyes met, they both knew
that at last his search was through.

Marvellous Travel
I travel with my eyes,
Watching those silently cry,
Asking themselves the question why,
Someone left them without saying goodbye;
I travel with my thoughts,
I travel with my pen;
To write about children, women and men;
I travel with my voice,
I travel with my hope,
That something new, would spring into my horoscope,
Whether in Asia, America or Europe,
There'll always be something interesting to scope;
I travel to many different places,
Mix with many races,
Identify tribesmen by their faces,
And little girls by their laces,
I travel without money,
So, please listen to my testimony,
The good, the bad and even the ugly,
Every experience is worth life's journey,
For I'll always be marvelled,
When ever I travel.

It's A Hard Road
I jumped on the train
I left this old town
I escaped the rain
I'm no longer down
The wheels start to turn
My worries are gone
I have lots to learn
About the trail that I'm on
As I look around
I see my new friend
I know I am bound
To travel till the end
I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best
The train it did slow
I'm in a new place
The moonlight does glow
On my tired face
It's time for me
To try and find a bed
It's time for me
To rest my weary head
Morning is here
There's sorting to do
I'll sound sincere
With my goodbye to you
I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best
It's time to move away
I'm not satisfied
I've spent many a day
Finding a place to reside
There's a town on my mind
It's just down the track
No need to find
A way to get back
The train I will get
Sitting at the station
The future is set
I feel anticipation
I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best

I wanted to be self-sufficient, I wanted to take care of myself, and I wanted to learn. I wanted to travel, I wanted to see the world and have my eyes opened. I wanted to be consistently challenged, and I knew I needed to be creative in some way. When I got my job in a bar and I could pay for my tuition and go on auditions and sometimes get jobs that I loved and pay my rent, I knew that I would be all right. That's when my dreams came true, long before the telephone rang and someone said, 'Come and meet Tom Cruise'.

Red Dirt Cows
Inquisitive cows in a red dirt pasture with a train car
It is a special sight to enjoy even when you travel far
It seems almost like going home for I have been told
Therefore will continue to travel on this red dirt road
By looking left, looking right, and maybe southwest
Wih my digital camera ready to photograph the best
And if the creeks continue to stay within their banks
I will find more red dirt for which I will give thanks

My travels in the hell
It is hard and so teadius travel to me
though my travel is a nice car
The roads, I ve travelled seems as hell
Just a road with out green trees in the sides
Only wheeled animels flown here and there and
exhausting a large volume of black smoke
No flowers, and the musics of little sky singers
only the roarings of metallic wilds, I heard
One second, I stopped and
felt this travel as the travel in the hell

Let Me Come Home
I left you there, strong and sturdy
Lights turned on and heat cranked up
Closed your door, to take a tour
With the girl I love so much
I traded my home for another that night
And although it was brief
Someone decided that for that night
I should feel grief
I took my leave from my girlfriend
(my home from home)
To travel back to where I left you
With lights turned on and heat cranked up
I desired your physical feeling and glow
And so I walked…
“A mile” I said “It will not be so bad”
But little did I know
Of what I did not have
“MY KEY” I gasped
I forgot it in your depths
While I walked towards you
I did not know if you’d let me rest
I tried to think of your unclosed door
Welcoming on in
And so I chanted in the late night din…
Please let me come home
I pray and ask and plead for home
I need, and desire, and glorify you home
I asked and was given a crack in the door
You let me come home.

A Thousand Miles
I'd walk a thousand miles you know
and still I'd find no where to go
unless I felt your love.
I'd run a thousand miles away
and still I'd find no place to stay
unless I felt your love.
My mind is always where you are
and so I'd travel far
to reach you and feel you
once again.
I'd drive across a desert land
and still I'd find I'm stuck in sand
unless I felt your love.
My mind is always where you are
and so I'd travel far
to reach you and feel you
once again.

You Don't Love Me
I quietly surrender to the destiny’s verdict
Memorizing the very fact that you don’t love me
I read your name in all the lines across my hand
And one day you ask me ‘sorry, I forgot your name’
My eyes search for you wherever I go
You look through me as you have never known me before
I waited for you like you are my ultimate harbor
You walked past like I was no part of your travel
I walked around with you as though I possess you
You waved a Good Bye, without realizing the parting wound
I quietly surrender to the destiny’s verdict
Memorizing the very fact that you don’t love me
I Finally Know
I've been searchin'
For the girl of my dreams
The one who'll give all of her love to me
You've been there as a friend indeed
Someone that I could depend
Through thick and thin
My strength when I wanted to give in
You're special to me
Made it easy when I felt lonely
If I only knew then what I know now
My search would've ended long ago
I finally know who she is
The girl you've been trying to help me find
And all of this time she's been right here
She's only around me when you are near
And you spend your time with her everyday
So you know she's perfect in every way
I've been looking for love

There Were The Lips You Kissed
You kissed but for a day
And eyes glittering hope of the future
That there was no time to fulfill
There were the hours you counted
You counted but for a day
And they slipped away into the next dawn
And you were left alone
There were the eyes you met
You met and knew but for a day
That told you everything about the eyes
And a vision long haunting into dust
There were the paths you walked
You walked but for a day
And the paths turned the day
Into the life long journey
Now travel and hope for some more time

Remember Me Please
If one day you ever care to see me
remember me remember me
please…
remember my eyes
when you see some one suffering from love and all they do is cry
remember my lips, when you take the sweetest sip
remember my words my love every day
like in the mornings when you hear the doves sing so gay
remember my smile
exactly like a 8 year old child smiles
remember my body
when you hug your pillow to whisper you love me
remember me when I use to travel every inch of your body
remember me when I fell in your heart and you found me
remember that your lips where all I ever wanted to drink
remember that your eyes where all I ever wanted to see
next to you the only place I wanted to be
remember me please....
when I begged you so you wouldn’t leave
remember when I was inside of your heart
and nothing in this world could break us apart
remember
remember me
please…

Have Love--will Travel
(greenaway/stephens)
Yesterday it was all over
Thought Id lost the love of my life
He took a one-way ticket on an east-bound train
Told me he was never coming back again
But I just got a telegram that read
Hey
Have love--will travel
Thats all it had to say
Have love--will travel
Hes on his way
Im happy now
Have love--will travel
Four little words that mean so much
He knows I need him
So hes coming home
Hurry on down to the station
Hell be on the 9:49
Had to get my hair done it was such a mess
And every cent I had went on this brand new dress
Today I got a telegram that read
Hey
Have love--will travel
Thats all it had to say
Have love--will travel
Hes on his way
Im happy now
Have love--will travel
Four little words that mean so much
He knows I need him
So hes coming home
Have love--will travel
Thats all it had to say
Have love--will travel
Hes on his way
Im happy now
Have love--will travel
Four little words that mean so much
He knows I need him
So hes coming home
Hes coming home

Nothing us but only in between us
In finding you
I find me, in looking for you
You look for me, so in finding you finding me,
We finally find out, there is nothing us but only
You and me finding you and me, there is really
No us, just some things between us, always finding
You and me finding you always finding two
Not one, nothing one, but always two, a separate
You finding me and me finding you in this search in futility

Everything Takes Me Back
(michael p. heeney/casey beathard/michael white)
Its a song on the radio
Its your picture on the wall in my bedroom
Its any one of a million memories
Girl, everything takes me back but you
Its every place that weve ever been
Its running into someone we both knew
Or its the face of a total stranger
Girl, everything takes me back but you
Ive called you up Ive begged and pleaded left love letters at your door
Though I broke your heart you gotta believe it hurt me even more
So whats it gonna take, what ya wanna hear girl, I think Ive paid my dues
And it might be just but it dont seem fair that everything takes me back but you
Its a sound or its the silence
Its the thought of what Ive done
I cant undo
Or its the dream I cant put behind me
Girl, everything takes me back but you
Ive called you up Ive begged and pleaded left love letters at your door
Though I broke your heart you gotta believe it hurt me even more
So whats it gonna take, what ya wanna hear girl, I think Ive paid my dues
And it might be just but it dont seem fair that everything takes me back but you
Its the night or its the morning
Its the thunder rolling in before it rains
Or its a long, long, long, long stretch of highway
Girl, its nothing and its everything, its everything
Everything takes me back but you
Girl, everything takes me back but you

If You Still Remembered Me
This space I wanted,
Seems too large and empty
Without you.
In this place,
You've taken all my comfort.
I did not know you could do that.
I did not know I would want you back...
Like I want you back now.
This space I wanted,
Seems too barren and bleak
Without hearing your words
I wish to hear you speak.
You split...
And I called it quits.
We could not sit and talk,
Over it any longer!
That stays and replays in my mind!
Had I known I would find myself,
AFTER you left...
I would have sat and listened.
And put a stop to denying my faults.
You would not have walked out of my life!
I would have begged you to stay.
I would beg now to have you back.
If I knew where you were...
And if you still remembered me.

Travel to the place...
Travel to the place
Where mind set to peace,
No one can see,
Feel us free.
Travel to the place
Where we can breathe,
Fill our desire,
We wish; we aspire.
Travel to the place
Where we have silence,
Flower of fragrance,
And nature to admire.
Travel to the place
Where we can write,
Lines of rhyme,
At any time.
Travel to the place
Where we have enough space,
Work without race,
No tension on face.
Travel to the place
Where we can dance,
Sing at glance,
Bit of time to romance.
Travel to the place
Where we spread love,
Freedom to serve
And land to move.
Travel to the place
Where we can live,
Of joy and sprinkle its grace,
And do anything, anywhere.

Spread your wings, Im all set
Trans atlantic westbound jet
Heading out to jfk
Ill play my guitar along the way
Its the only thing I can do
Stick with me and well see it through
Make the most, without delay
Im gone tomorrow but here today
Travel through the nation
In need of stimulation, oh yeah
Travel through the nation
In search of situations, yeah
Boogaloo well walk on through
My prescriptions good for you
Be my guest and fly with me
Its a way of life, a high for free
Travel through the nation
In need of stimulation, oh yeah
Travel through the nation
In search of situations, yeah

No Assurances
How far could I walk,
how many a mile
if I knew you would be there?
As many steps as I could take
over hills and stones alike.
And it would be a glorious hike
if I knew you would be there.
I would not mind the blisters.
I would not feel the pain.
I would welcome all of it
if I knew you would be there.
But there are no assurances
that my travel and travails,
that I would gladly bear
would have me find you there.
