Chloe Bowed Her Head;
Hotwired on a Friday night
drove beyond every city light
took a look around at the unseen
from a letter and a photograph
I found trouble in a two-room shack
a lock with 88 keys that sings
I'm gettin' high in Ojai again
caught between a lover and a friend
there's a red light in the church house
a full moon overhead
and Chloe bowed her head
She said Amen and I watched her pass
as she drank champagne through her looking glass
all I know is I sure could stand some fun
got back to a crowded house
where she took me in and she laid me down
I replayed every moment one by one
I was gettin' high in Ojai again
caught between a lover and a friend
there's a red light in the church house
a full moon overhead
and Chloe bowed her head

"Piņata Novia"
Looking through eyes that wept
I confessed my love
and you slept I asked for help from above
I said the strength of my affection
has taken all my time
like an hourglass, my heart fills up
but I'm losing my mind over you
I don't know why
I'm always tryin' to get inside of you
Pinata Novia
I'm sorry I'm breaking you open
but it's just what you want me to do
I'm sure that time's gonna take it's toll
and I know that my tattooed heart
may make you lose control
but grab a hold of something
preferably my heart
oh and promise you won't let it go
and swear you'll never part away from me
I don't know why
I'm always tryin' to get inside of you
Pinata Novia
I'm sorry I'm breaking you open
but it's just what you want me to do
it's exactly what I'm gonna do

Radio in my Head
The clouds are on fire today
time has taken you away
I'm fine
as long as I'm moving right along
I went solo with this song yesterday
it took 13 pills just to make me say
how I feel, what is real
but mostly I just sang along with
The radio in my head
I never heard a single word she said
no conscience just a jukebox there instead
this radio in my head
has got to me talking to someone that I fear
took everything I had and left me here
all alone in bed, with a head full of stubborn tears
cause the lines they come and they won't stop
ringing in my ears
oh on this,
Radio in my head
I never heard a single word she said
no conscience just a jukebox there instead
on this radio in my head
oh but I gotta let you know
that I never let you go
I'll just keep you tuned into my soul
oh on this,
Radio in my head
I never heard a single word she said
no conscience just a jukebox there instead
on this radio in my head

Under You
I can't stand to watch you walk away
and take the last word with you
although I know it would take a lot to stay
with someone under you
But now there's dying roses on the bed
the sheets still smell like you
and all this rain has got me down
I'll wait for you
while earth spins around
I'll go on watching over
everything you do
I'm under you
Are you still staring at the same old sky
or have you moved along
to one with no clouds and a few more stars
where the streets aren't so loud
But now there's dying roses on the bed
the sheets still smell like you
and all this rain has got me down
I'll wait for you
while earth spins around
I'll go on watching over
everything you do
I'm under you

"Come Around More Alabama"
Speak to me
quietly and clear
then tell me why you're here
and tell me where you're coming from
cause I can't see
why you're leavin' here so early
was I wrong or were we
getting along just fine
You should,
Come around more Alabama
Come around more Alabama
Come around more Alabama
Cause it might just be the right time
for you and me
The numbers and the names
all the funny games we play
to stay clear
tell me what you're running from
I know that it's not me
cause you're tangled in my thought these days
I know if I could make you stay
just about a minute more
then you'd
Come around more Alabama
Come around more Alabama
Come around more Alabama
Cause it might just be the right time
for you and me

"I've Learned to Love"
Can you please listen to me
I've only got a few moments of time
before my ride takes me somewhere new
I just called to let you know that everything's ok
I tried before a thousand times
but I could never say.... hello
But it's fall
and a new guy's probably calling you each day
Might of lost all I had in you
but I know I found my way
I've Learned to Love
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder if you're far
and if you sometimes listen to my songs
and wonder where you are
and can you hear a voice beside you
at night inside your room
saying it's ok dream away
I promise I'll be coming home soon
So now it's spring
and I am bringing all I got
might not be much
but one thing that I've learned a lot
I've Learned to Love
