Can you spend today with me?
Can you spend today with me?
Oh today
Today
It’s my birthday
Can you spend today with me?
Can you spend today with me?
Oh today
Today
It’s my birthday
And I just want to meet you once
And I just want to meet you once
Can you spend today with me?
Can you spend today with me?
Oh today
Today
It’s my birthday

I finally found what I’m looking for
Lay down fast and beg for more
I finally found what I’m looking for
Or maybe it found me
I finally know what it means to be
Barking up the wrong damn tree
I finally know what it means to be
Running with blood on my hands
Me
I found it in me
Oh
I found it in
Myself
I finally see what you’re showing me
Everything is meant to be
I finally see what you’re showing me
I opened up my eyes
Me
I found it in me
Oh
I found it in
Myself
Maybe it’s just me
But everything is getting a little bit harder
Maybe it’s just me
Maybe it’s just you
But I’m finding perfection
In everything you do
Oh
It can’t be too late
No
I’m finding out
My fate

It's Almost Time
02:44
|
|||
Tonight the stars explode
Everything that once was mine is yours
Needles only break the skin
Think of me
But only if you win
Everything is changing
This whole world is spinning ‘round
It’s almost time
It’s almost time
Visions of you on the wall
You are real but I am not at all
Dreaming of a perfect place
Inside you and looking through your face
Everything is changing
This whole world is spinning ‘round
It’s almost time
It’s almost time
It’s over but it’s classic now
Everything comes back to you somehow
Tell the birds to keep their space
I’m still stumbling ‘round this lonesome place

I always knew
That I
Would end up at your door
I always knew
That you
Would be the one for me
I always thought
Your smile
Could melt me in my skin
I always knew
Your eyes
Were beautiful
You were always here
You were always here
You had me
From the first time I looked in your eyes
You had me
From the first time I looked in your eyes
When you’re not here
I cry
I feel so all alone
I promise you
To be
Everything and more
Do anything
For you
You are an angel
And you deserve
To be
Treated like one
You were always here
You were always here
You had me
From the first time I looked in your eyes
You had me
From the first time I looked in your eyes
I always knew
That I
Would end up at your door
I always knew
That you
Would be the one for me
I always thought
Your smile
Could melt me in my skin
I always knew
Your eyes
Were beautiful

Lover's Lane
01:27
|
|||
I’m so in love
And you’re to blame
You called my name
On Lover’s Lane
The moon above us
May wax and wane
You called my name
On Lover’s Lane
All of my life babe
I looked for you
Someone to love me
Someone that’s true
I’ve had enough of
Childish games
Call my name
On Lover’s Lane
But for the sky babe
We are alone
Let’s start a new life
Let’s build a home
I’ve had enough of
Childish games
Call my name
On Lover’s Lane
You called my name
On Lover’s Lane
You called my name
On Lover’s Lane

Red River

Down by Red River
The thieves are all drinking their wine
While the eagles are flying away
As fast as they can
Only the richest
Can see how the peasants will fare
And I stand alone on the banks
And silently cry
Red River can you hear me
Your blood is flowing through my soul
Red River do you fear me
You know I see what you don’t show
Down by Red River
The tears are beginning to fall
And the river is rising
Though nobody really could care
Oh they’re so guilty
Living their lives for the green
The river is rising
And history’s washing away
Red River can you hear me
Your blood is flowing through my soul
Red River do you fear me
You know I see what you don’t show
Red River can you hear me
Your blood is flowing through my soul
Red River do you fear me
You know I see what you don’t show

My Friend

|

My friend
My friend
Thank you
For everything you do
You carried me through
My darkest times
When everyone left
You were still right here
And I thank you
From the bottom of my heart
My friend
My friend
You are
Like a battle scar
That stayed with me
Through the war
When darkness falls
I can still see the light
Shining at me from above
My friend
My friend
Thank you
For just being you
And never trying to be
Somebody else
As the years pass
And together we grow old
I know we’ll stand the test of time
I know what we’ve got will never die

Rollin' Thunder
02:23
|
|||
In a flash of light
You took me under
A split second mistake
A tragic blunder
It’s rollin’
It’s rollin’
It’s rollin’ thunder
It’s an honest
To a dishonest question
A friend that whispers
Only if you let him
It’s rollin’
It’s rollin’
It’s rollin’ thunder
Take all the credit
Steal the glory
That’s what it’s all about you know
That’s the moral of the story
In a flash of light
You took me under
A split second mistake
A tragic blunder
It’s rollin’
It’s rollin’
It’s rollin’ thunder

Take You Away
02:33
|
|||
You!
I’m gonna take you away!
And lead you right into my arms
Right where you belong
He don’t deserve someone like you
He only goes and makes you blue
I have some words that I could say
You!
I’m gonna take you away!
And lead you right into my arms
Right where you belong
Snow from December in your eyes
The April rain is your disguise
I’m here to brighten up your day
You!
I’m gonna take you away!
And lead you right into my arms
Right where you belong
You know you only need to call
You know you only need to call
You know you only need to call my name
And I’ll be there
By your side
You know you only need to call
You know you only need to call
You know you only need to call my name
And I’ll be there
I’ll be there
I’m face to face with my own fear
Reverse the roles in the mirror
I turned my back on yesterday
You!
I’m gonna take you away!
And lead you right into my arms
Right where you belong
Where you belong

Wakin' Up Slow Mama
02:20
|

I’m wakin’ up slow mama
Gonna be a tough day today
I’m wakin’ up slow mama
Gonna be a tough day today
I’m leaving town this morning
Driving myself a million miles away
I’m hitting that highway
Lord I’m tearing’ up the road
I’m hitting that highway
Lord I’m tearing up the road
I ain’t stoppin’ for nothing
Nobody
I ain’t stoppin’ ‘til I get home
Any rambler can tell you
The last mile feels like eternity
Any rambler can tell you
The last mile feels like eternity
Well I’m almost home
But already I’m ready
To pack up and leave
|

How long does it take to get home
And how long must I be all alone
How long will I sit
With my head in my hands
Trouble and worries
Nobody understands
Oh how long does it take to get home
How many times have you cried
How many times have you lied
How many times have looked at yourself
Silently wishing that you were someone else
Oh how many times have you cried
I’ve been deep inside the river
And I know how you must feel
You’re hungry like a wolf
And you ain’t afraid to steal
How long does it take to get home
There’s a seed on every flower
There’s a thorn on every rose
There’s sadness in this world babe
But that’s the way it goes
How can you believe the words they say
When did yesterday become today
How can my own mother
Turn her back upon her brother
How can Georgia Brown
Crack a whip without a sound
How can Senor Money
Take a life and think it’s funny
How can Rick the Rhino
Call himself a black albino
How can Davey Crocket
Stick a fork into the socket
How can this whole scene
Come directly from a dream that I had
How can you believe the words they say
I’ve been deep inside the river
And I know how you must feel
You’re hungry like a wolf
And you ain’t afraid to steal
How long does it take to get home
How long does it take to get home
And how long must I be all alone
How long will I sit
With my head in my hands
Trouble and worries
Nobody understands
Oh how long does it take to get home

Grandma

Grandma I love you
I can’t think of life without you
Oh
I love you so much
I know we can’t live forever
God I wish you could
Things that made no sense to me
You always understood
Grandma I love you
I can’t think of life without you
Oh
I love you so much
Memories they flood my mind
I’m drowning in my tears
The angel watching over me
It was you all these years
Grandma I love you
I can’t think of life without you
Oh
I love you so much
I know we can’t live forever
God I wish you could
Things that made no sense to me
You always understood
Grandma I love you
I can’t think of life without you
Oh
I love you so much

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois
Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.
I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago,
IL.
It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.
I appreciate you taking the time to listen.
