Eagleheart
Sometimes I feel like I’m lost in the ocean
Or maybe I feel like I’m lost in the sky
Am I caged in my heart ‘n will I be there forever
I think I’ll ask the spirit why?
I got me this feelin’ I was almost in heaven
But as it turns out I was this close to hell
Show me the light, take me out of these crossroads
“N don’t let me drown in the wishin’ well
Chorus:
If I could beat the odds ‘n find my way tomorrow
Well I would lift the world ‘n hold it over me
“N I might find the things I’ve lost in sorrow
Take the eagle in my heart ‘n set it free
Keep tryin’ to reach down ‘n grab me a good hold
So there ain’t no breeze gonna blow me down
Keep tellin’ myself that there must be a reason
For takin’ my feet off the ground
Bridge:
Cause I been hangin’ around at the edge of my mind
Rollin’ around in the dark
Tryin’ not to feel like I’m under the wheel
Tryin’ not to bite when I bark
Chorus:
Oh! if I could beat the odds about to tomorrow
Well I would lift the world ‘n hold it over me
“N I might find the things I’ve lost in sorrow
Take the eagle in my heart ‘n set it free
Break:

‘N I tell you blood…that’s what I’m lookin’ for

PARADISE
BY: JACKSON SLADE c 1996
PUBLISHED BY: COLD BEAUTY PUBLISHING
THERE'S A PLACE UP IN THE SKY THAT HOLDS THE MOON
THE LIGHT KEEPS FADING THROUGH THE TREE'S
THE MUSIC PLAYIN' FROM THE CORNER OF MY ROOM
RECALLS TO ME A TIME THAT USED TO BE
AND WE HAD THE ROAD TO PARADISE
WHEN YOU LOOKED INTO MY EYES
N' AS PLAIN AS DAY I SEE YOU STANDIN' THERE
AND IN THIS TIME WE TOOK A CHANCE
CAUSE WE WERE WILLIN' TO PAY THE PRICE
N' CATCH THE MOONLIGHT OF YOUR HAIR
WHEN THAT PLACE UP IN THE SKY CALLS TO YOU
N' THE WIND OUTSIDE WHISPERS LIKE YOU RUN
AND THE MUSIC PLAYIN' FEELS JUST LIKE THE TRUTH
AND RECALLS TO SEE A TIME WHEN LOVE WAS YOUNG
(BRIDGE) IT'S THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT SLIP AWAY
FALLIN' DOWN ON THE THINGS WE SAY
I'M COLSER NOW TO LOSING YOU
TO ALL THE THINGS WE NEVER DO
WHAT A TIME TO REALIZE
THAT ALL I NEEDED WAS THOSE EYE'S AND YOU
WE HAD THE ROAD TO PARADISE
WHEN WE HELD THE EDGE OF NIGHT
N' AS PLAIN AS DAY I SEE YOU LYIN' THERE
AND IN THIS TIME WE TOOK A CHANCE
CAUSE WE WERE WILLIN' TO PLAY IT RIGHT
AND CATCH THE MOONLIGHT OFF YOUR HAIR……(REPEAT X ) OH BABY

HOMETOWN
July 2001 By Jackson Slade
I just landed here in nowhere and it ain’t no surprise
Standin’ in a hardrain ‘n it’s beating in my eyes
‘n I can see this light shining hangin’ on the side of a hill
I started to believe it I’de seen this place before
That oak tree in the shadows that old chair near the door
You can almost hear the laughter hangin’ on the side of that hill
I have this dream still.
I was hell bent on lookin’ for all I could see
The fire was a glowin’ flickerin’ through the trees
All I saw was a whisper of a place I’de like to be
‘n I have this dream in me
Chorus:
But if I’m tossed in this feelin’ thinkin’ like this
There’s something I’de like to know
What kind of reason will take a moment like this
‘n keep it movin’ so slow
If I’ve been livin’ way out of line
by holdin’ my world on a string
You see I have this dream.
I’m facin’ down a back road can’t see me no end
Rollin’ through the darkness like some old homeless wind
And I’m wonderin’ ‘bout my freedom just where have I been
Bridge:
And hometown is no town if you can’t find a friend
Who holds to the ways of your life.
Sometimes we walk to run to the end
No use in asking us why
That light in my eyes has put me dead in my tracks
Does that voice sound familiar with that gun in my back
Where the hell’s johns barber shop did it fall through the cracks
And I had this dream further back
Chorus:
If I’m tossed in this feeling of feeling like this
There’s one thing I have to know
What kind of reason will take a reason like this
And keep it movin so slow.
If I’ve been livin’ way outta line
By holdin’ my world on a string
You se I had this dream

That's Just Me
by Jackson Slade c 08/02/2014
I've seen the way he treats you time after time
The way he leaves you hanging, on a thin alibi
If I were you I wouldn't let another tear roll by
But that's just me..
The way he takes your trusting heart
Tears it all in two, swears he's gonna change
And he knows it isn't true, if I were him that's something I'd never do
But that's just me
Chorus: Do you ever long for someone
To give you love the it's supposed to be
Will you ever feel there's someone
Standing right beside you, holding on
Hoping you might see..That's just me
I will show how good life can be if only I had the chance
There'd be Moonlight and Roses, promises that last
It might be old fashion believing in love like that
But that's just me...
(break)

PUSHER OF BLUES
By Jackson Slade © 1991
Cold Beauty Pub.
Well I’ve been runnin’ along on some heartache
‘N’ no one can tell me just why
This life that comes with each breath I take
Has filled me with some kinda lie
‘N’I feel like I’m someone I just want a slice of the pie
No fool could prove it any harder than me
‘N I’ll believe it till the day that I die
Chorus:
‘N hard times make me worry
It’s down to the path that I choose
I’m ready to fly, make some room in the sky
I’m tied of bein’ a pusher of blues
I reach for the pack, smoke myself on my back
Bite my nails till my fingers turn blue
Take all my things, take my car, take my rings
Do you think that I could live on one shoe
Chorus:
Well I’ve been thinkin’ about this
heartache
‘N I’ve every damn reason to cry
This life that comes with every breath I take
May never, ever tell me why
Sill I fell like I’m someone
I just wanta prove it to you
No fool could try any harder than I
‘N I’ll believe till the day that I through
Chorus:
Bridge:
Ain’t gonna wait here into the night
I get this feelin’ I’m just to tired to fight
See me runnin’, headin’ out the door
Ain’t gonna lose my mind anymore
( take it on down to the river of life)
I tell ya somethin’ you otta know
You see this fool’s got only one way to go,
‘N’ I’m feelin’ it now

REAL LOVE

Real Love
It’s fire in your eyes that takes my breath away
‘N I've come to realize these things I barely say
Ain’t nearly enough
I know you hardly see it, but I love you so
Even when there’s times that you don’t know me
‘N I'm just feelin’ rough
This is real love, this is real love….I know
Well it’s been goin’ round in my mind
The way you make me feel
You always seem to bring me to myself
I’ve been drawn into emotions
That I’ve never had to deal
They've been locked away hidden on some shelf
‘N now it’s real love, yes it's real love……I know
When I was lonely people you gave a different light
You showed me how to hold my hand in yours
Now I feel I’m startin’ on the journey of my life
‘N it’s all because of you my love
This is real love, this is real love….I know
Oh! Lord! I know

“THEM FIRES”
BY JACKSON SLADE
ã 01/ 21/03
WELL I WISH THAT I’D BEEN RAISED UP ON SOME RIVER
BUT ALL I HAD WAS A CORNER OF SOME TRACK
EVERY SINCE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO WANDER
I HARDLY EVER LOOK BACK
BUT ONE DAY IN THE MAIL I FOUND A LETTER
WITH A NAME I KNEW I’D SEEN BEFORE
IT TOOK ME TO A TIME WHERE I NEARLY
LOST MY MIND……TIL’ I GREW SOME NERVE
‘N’ HEADED OUT THE DOOR
CHORUS: CAUSE THEM FIRES, THEY START BURNIN’
THEY’L TAKE YOU ‘N’ LEAD YOU TO ROAM
THEM FIRES, THEY KEEP BURNIN’
THEY NEVER SEEM TO LEAVE YOU ALONE
I REMEMBER WE WERE HEADIN’
DOWN THE HYWAY…. IT WAS HOT ENOUGH
TO STICK YOU TO A TREE
THE DUST WAS FLYIN’ LOW WE HAD NO DAMN
PLACE TO GO….BUT THAT WAS ALRIGHT BY ME
THERE WERE PLENTY OF CLOUDS IN THE DISTANCE
WE WERE LAUGHIN’ AT EVERY THING WE KNEW
HOPIN’ FOR SOME RAIN TO COOL THIS SUMMER PAIN
BUT DRIVIN FAST WAS ALL THAT WE COULD D
CHORUS: THEM FIRES, THEY START BURNIN’
THEY’L TAKE YOU ‘N’ LEAD YOU TO ROAM
THEM FIRES, THEY KEEP BURNIN’
THEY NEVER SEEM TO LEAVE YOU ALONE
INSTRU:
WELL THEY TOLD ME IN THE LETTER
HOW HE MISSED ME
‘N’ EVERYTHING TIL’ NOW HAD BEEN ALRIGHT
HE JUST SPENT TOO MUCH TIME IN THE BACKYARD
THAT’S WHEN HE SLIPPED OUT OF SITE..
BRIDGE:
‘N’ I SAID…..THAT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THE
RIGHT THING TO DO
HE HAD THE NERVE TO CHANGE HIS DAY
CAUSE ALL HE EVER REALLY WANTED TO..
WAS TO FIND HIM SOME SHIP ‘N’ SAIL AWAY
CHORUS: CAUSE, THEM FIRES THEY KEEP BURNIN’
THEY’L TAKE YOU ‘N’ LEAD YOU TO ROAM
THEM FIRES, WHEN THEY STAR BURNIN’
THEY NEVER REALLY LEAVE YOU ALONE

FLY AWAY
BY: JACKSON SLADE c 1997
PUBLISHED BY: COLD BEAUTY PUBLISHING
I THINK TODAY I'LL FLY AWAY
RIGHT ACROSS THE MOON
CAUSE IT SEEMS THE ONLY DREAM I HAD
RAN AWAY WITH A SILVER SPOON
IF I CAN'T HOLD ONTO THIS LIFE WITH YOU
I'LL BE LEAVIN' SOON
I THINK TODAY I'LL LEAVE THIS HEART
OUT HERE IN THE RAIN
CAUSE I CAN'T STAND THE WAY MY EYE'S
KEEP FILLIN' UP WITH PAIN
AND I WOULD GLADLY GIVE UP EVERYTHING I OWN
TO HOLD YOU ONCE AGAIN
(CHORUS) N' THIS HAS GOTTA BE THE HARDEST THING
I'VE EVER HAD TO FACE
BUT I THINK IT'S TIME TO CALL
AND SET US FREE
BUT I KEEP HOLDIN' ON TO THE THINGS
THAT I KEEP HIDDEN IN SOME PLACE
IF I COULD ONLY CHANGE THESE EYES
SO THEY COULD SEE
WOULD YOU FLY AWAY WITH ME
(TAG) WOULD YOU FLY AWAY AND SEE
IT FEELS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
WE FILLED A SUMMER NIGHT
BY THROWING WORDS UP IN THE SKY
TO SEE IF THEY'D TAKE FLIGHT
CHASIN' DOWN A SHOOTING STAR
TO WISH WITH ALL OUR MIGHT
IF I COULD ONLY HOLD ON TO THAT TIME WITH YOU
YOU KNOW THAT I WOULD BE ALRIGHT
(INSTRAMENTAL BREAK)
(BRIDGE) N' WE CAN BLAME IT ALL ON TWISTED FATE
WE COULD BLAME IT ALL ON TIME
N' THERE'S PROBABLY A MILLION REASONS WHY
A DREAM STARTS TO UNWIND
AND IF WE HOLD ONTO THE THINGS
THAT WE KEEP HIDDEN IN THIS PLACE
SOMEDAY MAYBE SOON
OUR EYES MIGHT SEE
AND YOU'D FLY AWAY WITH ME

MILES HIGH by JACKSON SLADE Ó 02/01/07
Here I am, on higher ground….
I was tired of my of my searchin’,
wonderin’ ‘bout things I have found..
and, it’s not to my making of how I came to my fate
I was lost somewhere between Hell ‘n’ Heaven’s Gate
Yet, here I am, on higher ground…
In spite of the ways that sometimes keep
Pulling me down, and it’s not to my making
Of how I came to this place
Can’t you see just how I’m feeling, by the way
I look on my face..
CHORUS: Because, I’m miles high ‘n’ I feel like I’ve
Found my way…There’s a spirit within me
That’s led by this light everyday
And, it’s miles high above all the pain and it’s cost
I was touched by his merciful hands
‘n’ regained more than I lost
Now here I stand, near the face above all…
Holdin’ my heart out, never fearing the worst when I fall
And it’s not to my making of how I stood on my own
I couldn’t taste everything that was offered
Til’ I laid down my heart at the Throne
CHORUS: I’m miles high ‘n’ I feel like I’m on
My way….there’s a spirit within me
That’s led by this light everyday
And it’s miles high, above all the pain and it’s cost
I’ve been touched by his merciful hands,
‘n’ I’ve regained more than I lost ....
BRIDGE: Who sets your heart on running
Who sets that smile on your face
Who leaves the words that let you know
Not every scar leaves a trace
Chorus: When you’re miles high ….
‘n’ you feel like you’re on your way
Then that spirit within you,
is led to this light everyday
Miles high, above all the pain and it’s cost
When you’re touched by his merciful hands
You’ll regain more than you lost
Miles high, Miles high, Miles high....

Love Change
by Jackson Slade
BMI c 1982
It's a nite for a love change, something kind of strange and blue
I don't want nothing real, just some time
I can kill to keep my eyes from raining on you..
Take my soul on the night wind, ride this trouble from my mind
You're getting to me girl, these endless nites I search this world
But no place is the peace I can find
Chorus: I don't want to lose you girl, I need you
Won't you take my hand come fly with me
Can't you see it's you that's gonna ease my trouble
I need you girl, i need you so desperately ..
It's a nite for a love change, I need someone who can share my blues
I only wish you were here to keep me drowning from my fears
But time's the only thing I can choose...
Chorus/instrumental break
What a shame I've been crying, and seems
I've handled everything, but when it comes to you
My heart can easily break in two, I need you here beside me
To be king........

That's it No more I quit
by Jackson Slade
BMI c 1980
Ever wake up in the morning feeling kind of Blue
'n' everything around it keeps running into you
This time it grabbed you fully and drove you to your knees
It made you scream and holler,Oh no please!
You make your mind up early you're gonna shake this pain
'n' something seems to tell you..it'll never be the same
No one wants to listen as you drag yourself to ease
But, everyone will notice when you're on you knees
Chorus: I've had enough 'n' I'm fed-up up to here
I'm tired of running through all life's fears
When things get nasty, I'm gonna pull it through
By throwing it back at you, That's it No more I quit!
Did you ever feel that maybe, you've drawn against two Queens
'n' All you got for hold-cards are two uncertain dreams
One, is just to make it, and see what's over there
The other one's a lover who's in the air...
You gotta face it clearly, there's one thing that's for sure
No one can tell you that there's a certain cure
That makes you beg and plead, one kind of freedom is all you need
I say now one kind of freedom is all you need!!
Chorus/Ending

Dust be my Destiny
by Jackson Slade
BMI c 1982
People keep telling me, that you gonna lose
If you don't stop living the life that you choose
You know, I think I can see it, 'n' I'm always amazed
The the mind takes control, when you think you're a slave
To say what a feeling, can do to your soul
Can sometimes leave you dieing
When the breakdown leaves you cold
I finally discovered there's no more to deny
They try to keep where they want you till the day that you die
Chorus: Still, I can see the light change, closing out to the nite
Takes all this suffering clean out of sight
I'll saddle up this strange wind, ride my life for the truth
But, if dust be my destiny, then take me at midnite blue..
If you've got your reasons for wasting my time
Remember what that feeling can do to your mind
I'm gonna pray that I make it, that might tell me what to do
God I need you more than ever to help me
Chorus: Still, I can see the light change, closing out to the nite
Takes all this suffering clean out of sight
I'll saddle up this strange wind, ride my life for the truth
But, if dust be my destiny, then take me at midnite blue..
Take me at midnite blue...
Oh lord won't you get me ?

I took a train out of Chicago
lookin' down across the sky
I got myself on through El Paso
with the darkness rollin' by, on by
lookin' back on Amarillo
when I missed my ride goin' home
broken down outside of Tucson
was another time another stone,
oh lord such a heavy stone
(Chorus)
I believe I'm finally gonna make it back this time
cuz' I've been floating in the memories of everything
I once left behind like the first you held my hand lying
next to me n' I can't wait to cross that line
cause I'll be comin' back this time
yes I will
(Instrumental guitar solo)
(Bridge)
If you won't cry me a river, I won't tell you of my pain
and in your arms I'll deliver the one thing
I know we'll regain
(Chorus)
Cuz' I believe I'm finally gonna make it back this time
n' I'll be facing all the memories of everything
I once left behind...well, I see you standing there reaching
out for me n' I can't wait to cross that line
cause I'll be comin' back this time

I'll be comin' back this time, hold on darlin'

I ALMOST HAD ANOTHER ONE BUT I LET HER SLIP AWAY
SO I’LL TAKE THIS NITE FOR WHAT IT’S INTO THE LIGHT OF ANOTHER DAY

MIGHTY WIND
By Jackson Slade © 2002
That Mighty Wind
I was caught by this vision That was takin’ my time
Somewhere in a mystery, tryin’ to make up mu mind
I had this chill that someone called out my name
They said, “they’d been somewhere healin’
Somewhere healin’ their pain
Ther was snow on the mountain, the sky was so blue
They say this kinda weather been long overdue
If anyone had told me I’d be feelin’ this way
I’d say hey! You must be crazy, I just started this today!
Chorus:
Cause I been somewhere lookin’ for somethin’ to do
Holdin’ my life, tryin’ to be true
Waitin’ forever, hoping to give in
Then one crazy day I get this call
Just when I felt I was fallin’ away from it all
That’s when they told me, “you’re facin’ the wind”
I was starin’ like a fool, till nothin’ showed in my eyes
I was so far in the backgroud
I couldn’t figure out why
‘N if anyone had told me that I’d be feelin’ this way
I’d say hey! You must be crazy I just started this today
Chorus:
Cause I been somewhere lookin’ for somethin’ to do
Holdin’ my life, tryin’ to be true
Waitin’ forever, hoping to give in
Then one crazy day I get this call
Just when I felt I was fallin’ away from it all
That’s when they told me, “you’re facin’ the wind”
I could see by the moon
It was lightin’ the sky
Ther were voices of angels I could hear them nearby
Then I had this chill, someone whispered my name
They said, “they’d been somewhere healin’
Somewhere healin’ their pain
Bridge:
‘N did I wanta go
They’d show me the way
I can take all my troubles
Throw ‘em in the middle of the bay
If anyone had told me I’d be feelin’ this way
I’d say hey! You must be crazy, I just started this today!
Chorus:
Cause I been somewhere lookin’ for somethin’ to do
Holdin’ my life, tryin’ to be true
Waitin’ forever, hoping to give in
Then one crazy day I get this call
Just when I felt I was fallin’ away from it all
That’s when shouted, “Stop facin’ the wind, stop facin’ the wind, stop facin’ the wind….(turn around you fool)
That mighty wind

DESIRE
BY JACKSON SLADE Ó 2005
COLD BEAUTY RECORDS/PUB.
HERE I AM ON FIRE RUNNIN’ THROUGH THE NITE
‘N’ I’M TRYIN’ TO EASE THIS TROUBLE IN MY MIND
I GET THE STRANGEST FEELIN’
THAT IT AIN’T NO WHERE IN SIGHT
‘N’ ALL THOSE CRAZY MOMENTS KEEP WAITIN’ THERE IN TIME
I SPEND TOO MUCH LOVE FALLIN’ OUT OF ALL MY DREAMS
‘N’ THERE’S A CLOUD OF DUST I SURELY LEFT BEHIND
I MISSED MY SHOOTIN’ STAR I COULDN’T FIND THE LIGHT IT SEEMS
I’VE BEEN LOST BEFORE, BUT IT NEVER CAME TO MIND
CHORUS: ‘N’ I WAS TORN DOWN TO NOTHIN’
BUT IT AIN’T QUITE LIKE YOU THINK
CAUSE I WAS LYIN’ NEXT TO SOMEONE
WHO MADE MY KNEES FEEL WEAK
BUT THAT WAS TOSSED UP IN THE SKY
OVER WHAT JUST HAD TO BE
NOW I’M FALLIN’ IN DESIRE WITH EVERY GIRL I SEE
FALLIN’ IN DESIRE, I KEEP FALLIN’ IN DESIRE
I THINK ABOUT IT MOSTLY ‘ROUND MIDNITE
I’M EITHER JUMPIN’ IN OR CLIMBIN’ OUT OF BED
IT NEVER SEEMED TO BE ABOUT WHO WAS RIGHT
IT ALWAYS TURNED OUT TO BE WHAT SOMEONE SAID
CHORUS: BREAK:
BRIDGE: LOVE CAN MAKE A SANE MAN CRAZY
LOVE CAN MAKE THAT SAME MAN CRY
IT TENDS TO MAKE YOU JUST A LITTLE LAZY
‘N’ IT CAN TAKE YOU OUTSIDE LAUGHIN’ AT THE SKY
CHORUS: SO IF YOU’RE TORN DOWN TO NOTHIN’
BUT IT AIN’T QUITE LIKE YOU THINK
CAUSE YOU WERE LYIN’ NEXT TO SOMEONE
WHO MADE YOUR KNEES FEEL WEAK
BUT THAT WAS TOSSED UP IN THE SKY
OVER THINGS THAT HAD TO BE
NOW YOU’RE FALLIN’ IN DESIRE WITH EVERY
GIRL YOU SEE
FALLIN’ IN DESIRE, YOU KEEP FALLIN’ IN DESIRE

The HARDER YOU LEAN
BY: JACKSON SLADE c 1993
PUBLISHED BY: COLD BEAUTY PUBLISHING
IN THE SHADOW OF A NEON
AN OL' MAN AND HIS BOTTLE STAND ALONE
LIVIN' IN THE WHISKEY
HAS TAKEN HIM SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME
WELL HE'S SLIGHTLY OUT OF FOCUS
AS HE TURNS TO LEAVE SOME HARD TIMES ON THE WALL
IT'S SEEM THE HARDER YOU LEAN ON SOME THINGS
THE HARDER YOU FALL
WHEN HE WAS JUST A YOUNG MAN
HE WATCHED HIS DADDY DIE BEHIND THE PLOW
IT WAS THREE WEEKS AFTER HARVEST
HIS MOMMA TOOK HER LIFE SOMEWHERE SOMEHOW
THAT'S WHEN HE FELL INTO THE DRINKIN'
HOPPED A TRAIN GOIN' NO WHERE TO LEAVE IT ALL
IT SEEM THE HARDER YOU LEAN ON SOMETHING'S
THE HARDER YOU FALL
(CHORUS) THE HARDER YOU LEAN ON SOME THING'S
THE HARDER YOU FALL
THESE FEW WORDS HIS DADDY TOLD HIM
LONG AGO WHEN HE WAS SMALL
YOU CAN WALLOW IN THE WEAKNESS
OR YOU CAN GO THROUGH YOUR LIFE WALKING TALL
BUT THE HARDER YOU LEAN ON SOME THINGS
THE HARDER YOU FALL
WELL HE REMEMBERS HIS SWEET MARY
N' HOW HER LOVE NEARLY SAVED HIS WRETCHED SOUL
WHILE HE WAS DROWNIN' IN THE NIGHTMARES
SHE HAD PLANS TO MAKE HIM WHOLE
BUT HE TOOK HER LOVE FOR GRANTED
AND WHEN HE LEFT HE NEVER LOOKED BACK DOWN THE HALL
HE FORGOT THE HARDER YOU LEAN ON SOME THINGS
THE HARDER YOU FALL
(BRIDGE) WELL THEY FOUND HIM BY THE RIVER
THEY COULDN'T READ WHAT HE HAD WRITTEN
ON THE WALL
BUT IN HIS HAND THERE WAS A PICTURE
AND ON THE BACK WERE THE WORDS THAT
SAID IT ALL
(CHORUS) THE HARDER YOU LEAN ON SOME THING'S
THE HARDER YOU FALL
THESE FEW WORDS HIS DADDY LEFT HIM
TO HELP HIM MAKE IT THROUGH IT ALL
YOU CAN WALLOW IN THE WEAKNESS
OR YOU CAN GO THROUGH YOUR LIFE WALKING TALL
BUT THE HARDER YOU LEAN ON SOME THINGS
THE HARDER YOU FALL

TEMPORARY INSANITY
Feb. 1999 By Jackson & Lori Slade
You say they’re always callin’ you something
You say they’re always lookin’ at you
And everything they’re tellin’ ya darlin’
Just ain’t true.
I never wanta cause you to worry
But, I think I might be losin’ my mind
And everything I’m tellin’ you darlin’
Is gonna take some time.
(Chorus)
Cause yesterday I was thrown in the middle
Holdin’ on so tight – wondering ‘bout what I’m s’posed to be.
Tryin’ to kick myself just a little – even out of sight
It wasn’t that damn easy to be free
But, I’m, alright today!...I’m alright!
Well I’ve been out there runnin’
I couldn’t tell you, it’s true
But, every face I saw in some doorway
Looked like you.
I thought I caught me a rainbow
Lookin’ for the colors of life
I tried to hold back the thunder
With all my might.
(Bridge) I can tell you this, I know
there are things I live to show – you girl
‘n It’s all that I am – cause I, I love you
(Chorus)
But, yesterday I was thrown in the middle
Holdin’ on so tight wondering ‘bout what I’m s’posed to be
Tryin’ to kick myself just a little, even out of sight
It wasn’t that damn easy to break free
But, I’m alright today!
I’m alright, I said I love you,
You know I love you.

“Wet Dog”
BMI c 11/08/2000
By Jackson Slade
I put a fire on this morning, got myself out on the road
I was miles out and wondering, am I doing this alone
You see this life will sometimes reach you
It could take a day to pass you by
I remember when it started, but I can’t remember why
(1st Chorus)
Cause it’s like falling off some mountain
Into places you won’t know
You can tell ‘em how you’re feeling
But don’t you tell ‘em where to go
You’re like some old wet dog
Well I was somewhere in the sunset
In the corner of my eye
I saw the peace sign for religion go rolling by
How it took me in the distance
I could hear my grandma say
Don’t go dealing in the dark side
The devil gets his way
(2nd Chorus)
Cause it’s like falling off some mountain
Into places you won’t know
You can tell ‘em how you’re feeling
But don’t you tell ‘em where to go
It’s like a shadow on the highway
While you’re drifting through a fog
Like an old wet dog
(Bridge)
Then I started looking back,
All I saw were miles and miles of black…
Am I out here trying to lose my way again
Thought I heard my dear old grandma say
Are you ever gonna find your way - well I sure hope so!
(3rd Chorus)
Cause it’s like falling off some mountain
When you’re searching for your soul
Don’t go dealing with the devil,
You could land in the darkest hole,
With some old wet dog

RIVER OF GOLD
JACKSON SLADE c 1998
PUBLISHED BY: COLD BEAUTY PUBLISHING
HE'S BEEN SO LONG OUT THERE
TILL IT FEELS LIKE HE LIVES IN A HOLE
N' NIGHT AFTER NIGHT HE FADES OUT OF SIGHT
THINKIN' 'BOUT A RIVER OF GOLD
HE'S BEEN LOST IN THE ARMS OF HIS PASSION
BROKE DOWN AND HOLDIN' HIS OWN
AND SOME TIMES IT SEEMS THE FIRE IN HIS DREAMS
IS LOCKED IN THE HEART OF A STONE
CHORUS WITH ALL EYE'S UPON HIM HIS BACK TO A KNIFE
HE TRIES TO LIVE BY THE WAYS HE'S BEEN TOLD
HE WANT'S SOMEONE BESIDE HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE
AND FALL IN A RIVER OF GOLD
HE'S WAS LOOKIN' FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE HIM
HOPING FOR SOMEONE TO HOLD
AND NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AS HE FADES OUT SIGHT
HE PRAYS FOR A LITTLE PEACE IN HIS SOUL
CHORUS: THEN ONE DAY BESIDE HIM WITH HER BACK TO A KNIFE LIVIN' THE WAY SHE'S BEEN TOLD
SHE WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SHARE IN HER LIFE
AND FALL IN A RIVER OF GOLD
(BRIDGE) 'N' THEY'RE TIRED OF LOOKING AT HARD TIMES
AND IT'S BROUGHT THEM DOWN TO THEIR KNEES
CAUSE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN
AND TRUST IN THE THINGS YOU CAN'T SEE
CHORUS: SO WITH ALL EYE'S UPON THEM THEIR BACK TO A KNIFE, THEY'RE GONNA LIVE BY THE WAYS THEY'VE BEEN TOLD
WITH THE GOOD LORD BESIDE THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, AND FALL IN A RIVER OF GOLD.

MINUTE ON MY MIND
BY: JACKSON SLADE & RENE' D. SCHAFFER c 1997
PUBLISHED BY: COLD BEAUTY PUBLISHING
HERE COMES THAT NIGHT SKY
BUT IT WILL GO BY WITHOUT ME NOTICING THE STARS
AN IN THAT VAST BLUE I SWEAR I SEE YOU
GUIDING ME BACK TO WHERE YOU ARE.
AND IN MY MIND I'M ALREADY HOME
YOU SEE THIS HIGHWAY IS SUCH A HARD WAY
IT TAKES THE TOLL WE PAY THE PRICE
YOU'RE ALL I SEE HERE AND I'M MILES FROM NOWHERE
THESE ROLLIN' WHEELS ARE JUST LIKE DICE
AND IN MY MIND I'M ALREADY HOME.
(CHORUS) N' IT SEEMS WAY TOO LONG SINCE I HELD YOU
BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN A MINUTE IN MY MIND
I HEAR THE WHISPERS OF YOU CALLIN'
I CAN ALMOST TASTE THAT ROSETTA WINE
AND IT'S ONLY BEEN A MINUTE IN MY MIND
THAT GOLDEN RIVER UP IN THOSE MOUTAINS
TAKES ME BACK A YEAR OR TWO
I CAUGHT YOU LOOKIN' N' I KNEW FOR CERTAIN
THERE'S AT LEAST A MILLION REASONS WHY I LOVE YOU
(BRIDGE) TO SEE THAT LIGHT IN THE WINDOW LOOKIN' FOR ME
I LIKE THE WAY WE FALL IN LINE
WHEN I HOLD A LOVE LIKE OURS IT'S ALL
THAT I CAN SEE I IMAGINE THAT
I'M SOMEWHERE LOST IN TIME
(CHORUS) N' IT SEEMS WAY TOO LONG SINCE I HELD YOU
BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN A MINUTE IN MY MIND
I HEAR THE WHISPERS OF YOU CALLIN'
I CAN ALMOST TASTE THAT ROSETTA WINE
AND IT'S ONLY BEEN A MINUTE IN MY MIND

HIGHER
1996 By Jackson Slade
It’s late at night I’ve got a piece of you on my mind
Excuse me for thinkin’ about last time
You told me a story a tale I could hardly believe
And I tried not to worry about the questions you were asking of me.
(Chorus)
If I told you once it’s been a thousand times
If your lookin’ for somethin’ to be
Don’t put on an act at the head of the line unless your willin’ to lead
Us higher, higher, oh! Higher.
Took a summer in west L.A. don’t know why I forgot to stay
Who drew that line across the sky
Heard a whisper off to my right couldn’t see his face with his back to the light
But I knew right away he was lookin’ in my eye.
(Chorus)
He said, if I told you once it’s been a thousand times
If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to be
Don’t put on an act and the head of the line unless your willin’ to lead
Us Higher, higher, oh! Higher.
(Instrumental Break)
(Bridge)
And if you bitch and moan about the shape you’re in
Can’t say much about your friends
Brother tell em ain’t it time to change your style
And try to live higher, oh! higher, so we can be higher, higher
(Tag)
take us higher, leave us higher, higher
oh! higher, take us higher, leave us higher

"HOWILN’ AT THE MOON”
BY JACKSON SLADE BMI c 04/28/2006
I THINK I NEED TO TELL YOU I WAS LOOKIN’ AT THE MOON
‘N’ I SWEAR TO YOU IT WAS LOOKIN’ BACK AT ME
THEN IT CAST A SPELL I COULDN’T WALK AWAT THAT SOON
I KEPT REACHIN’ OUT TO EVERYTHING I SEE
SOMETIMES IT MAKES ME CRAZY ALL THESE THINGS I DO
JUST TO HAVE A PLACE TO REST MY HEAD
THINKIN’ ‘BOUT THE YOUNG DAYS
MY DREAMS WERE STRAIGHT AND TRUE
NOW I’M ROLLIN’ OVER EVERYTHING I’VE SAID
CHORUS: ‘N’ IT BRINGS TO MIND SOMETHINGS I CAN’T RUN FROM
HOW I STARTED STEPPIN’ OUT OF TUNE
THERE’S BEEN DAYS WHEN I’M NOT SURE OF,
WILL I EVER FIND THE POWER OF LOVE?
IT’S ENOUGH TO START ME HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON
ALL THESE THINGS THAT KEEP RUSHIN’ THROUGH ME
I THINK I SEE A FEW THAT MAKE ME SMILE
STILL I WONDER WHERE I’M GONNA FIND YOU
WILL YOU BE ON EVERY CORNER
OR AT THE END OF EVERY MILE
CHORUS: ‘N’ IT BRINGS TO MIND SOMETHINGS I CAN’T RUN FROM
HOW I STARTED STEPPIN’ OUT OF TUNE
THERE’S BEEN DAYS WHEN I’M NOT SURE OF,
WILL I EVER FIND THE POWER OF LOVE?
IT’S ENOUGH TO START ME HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON
INTRUMENTAL BREAK:
BRIDGE: I THINK I’M GONNA LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER
I THINK I’M GONNA LOOK OVER THERE
I KNOW I’M GONNA LOOK TILL I FIND YOU
IF I TAKE THE WRONG TURN WOULD YOU
WHISPER IN MY EAR
CHORUS: ‘N’ IT BRINGS TO MIND SOMETHINGS THAT
I CAN’T RUN FROM
WHAT’S THE SENCE IN STEPPIN' OUT OF TUNE
I THINK I FINALLY SEE WHAT LIFE HAS GIVEN ME
IT’S ENOUGH TO KEEP ME HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON
IT’S ENOUGH TO KEEP ME HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON
IT’S ENOUGH TO KEEP ME HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON.

"Style of music is hard to give a
specific Genre to.. My Spanish roots
come to the surface in my rhythms,
and
melodies to some extent. I've always
loved all styles of music, and I guess
my motivation comes from loving how,
through music, we make the world
warmer and smaller, not so vast.
I guess you could say I'm
Rock/Country/Jazz/Pop/Blues/Latin Blues and a few more things too ugly to mention"
