well I've got a mule and her name is Sal
15 miles on the Erie Canal
shes a good ol' worker and a good ol' pal
16 miles on the Erie Canal
weve hulled some barges in our day
filled with lumber, coal and hay
and we know every inch of the way
from Albany to Buffalo
low Bridge, Everybody Down
low Bridge, and were comin through your town
always be your neighbor
and well always be your pal
if your ever navigating the Erie Canal
lost all my money and I lost my gal
17 miles on the Erie Canal
cant see straight I drank too much ale
18 miles on the Erie Canal

Your Mind

get out of your mind boy
get out of your mind
get out of your mind boy
get out of Your Mind
life aint easy, no
the hustle, the grind
get of your mind boy
get out of your mind
sometimes life can bring ya down
sometimes life can throw ya around
but its important to stay on your feet
and its important to never accept defeat
sometimes the past can bring ya down
sometimes memories can throw ya around
but passion and drive can bring you to life
especially when your deep in the fight
some find solace in booze
maybe do a few drugs or two
but deep in your head where it all seems okay
you can watch as you piss your life away
listen to my words and take my advice
listen to my words and take my advice
listen to my words and take my advice
listen to my words and take my advice
get out of your mind boy
get out of your mind

your tradin time for money honey
aint nothin funny
youve been doin it for too long now
Well daddy always said
that honest work will bring an honest man
but you dont give a shit about that
you got those green bags in your hand
your movin side to side, up and down
all around this great town
just doin everything that you can
well everyone, everywhere
well they told her, fair and square
your gonna want a family some day
she just shook her head and said "hell no!"
that'll just get in the way
of all those plans, I had
everyday becomes, vicious routine
well, eat this, drink that, and do some sinnin in between
lay down, go to bed, wake up with a moan
and realize, your all alone

This Thing

there's this thing about my love
it'll stress you out from time to time
I can be dense, dark, and mean
but as a matter of fact, Im workin on that
i'm workin on it
there's this thing about my love
it'll be here all throughout the night
and when we wander into the darkness
I know whats ahead, just around the bend
the morning light
there's this thing about my love
you know its unconventional
and though sometimes it may seem unemotional
as if i'm unreachable
but truly its the most, passion filled
there's this thing about my love
you know it's non-traditional
and when the size of the world seems to fit into
the palm of of your hands, ill be here to make it seem
unusual again
lord knows i've been the butt of a few jokes
but i'm learning to take it in stride
and i'm growing the hair on my face longer
to keep the mean words from coming out
and there's this thing about my love
you know its unconditional
you'll never have to ask for it
even if you just need a little bit
I'm on my way
It'll be okay

Fight The Fright

Hell no, I wont compromise
gonna look ahead to better times
past is the past, I cant change that
but I got some demons off my back
you cant fight the fright
its always gonna be there
you cant fight the fright
no matter how hard you try
love my friends, I wouldn't trade for anything
we've been through hell and back easily
there tough as nails and rude as hell
well hoot and holler as we set sail
find happiness in a few things
good cup of coffee and some good lovin
my baby tucks me in warm and night
I know there's gonna be no fright
and I know its not really fair
but its always gonna be there

dont go counting me out
cuz im only getting started
found out what it takes to be alone
stop being half hearted
and does it make
you weak at the knees
and does it make
make you wanna scream
no more drink stinkin, brinkin fightin all the time
cuz I found out i'm not cold hearted
pulled myself up and then i finally figured out
that i can finish what i started
were all made out of stardust
and creepy crawly cosmic stuff
if you could wrap your head around that
then wed be walkin hand n' hand
