People 03:01
If you wanna be a free-flowin' channel of love, then you can be a free-flowin' channel of love! ​But you can't stop the wind and decide where it should blow, no ​No, you can't stop the love and decide where it should go. ​If you wanna be a real happy people of love, then you can be a real happy people of love!

Ten Years 03:06
One hundred twenty-one degrees and the dust banked on the door. Jack rabbits and there's centipedes but there isn't any corn. ​No work, no wheat, no milk and no meat. I'll lose my life in the dust and heat. ​Ten years of spittin' mud. My tears are far too dry to run. ​I kneel beside my bed tonight with a prayer upon my tongue. Lord, if this cup should pass from me but thine own will be done. ​No work, no wheat, no milk and no meat. Preserve my life in the dust and heat. ​​We tilled and tilled and tilled the ground, but the rain did not follow the plow...

All Along 03:01
​The Kansas wind speaks to me again.... I've been here all along. ​Fields of indigo I will always know... ​The mountains tall in me so small... ​The geese do fly, in dreams do I...

Many Moons 03:35
Many moons ago, I lived in the snow. I sat with this fire and gave thanks. From the East comes the sun, from the infinite One. I sit with this fire and give thanks. I look to the West. I seek for the best, with every tongue and race. The colors of your face, we sit with this fire and give thanks.

Fall Apart 04:22
Blue lights and frost bites through my skin. Tonight this bottle is my only friend. But it won't satisfy the burn. It won't teach me things still left to learn, but when... You say fall apart then I'm gonna fall apart for you. ​So many things that I can't say. So many times I've had to walk away. Can't even write it in a song 'cause you'll be right and baby, I'll be wrong... ​The sun has faded with this fight. No more quarrels, just lay with me tonight. You are my anchor in the storm. I need you here with me to keep my body warm...

Blackbird 02:59
​Black bird with a wounded wing, she gotta find her way back home. See the bird with a wounded wing, she gotta find her way back home. ​She walk a crimson path, stolen from blue skies. She ain't never looking back though the fire within her dies... ​See the bird with a wounded wing... The bad wolf see the wounded wing...

Let You Go 03:34
​It ain't over 'till I say, until I let you walk away. But boy I'm stronger than you know, strong enough to let you go. ​Cause I ain't waistin' no more time. What we got left ain't worth a dime. Our forever plans, I watched you crush with your bare hands. ​It's the same sad song, lord knows I'm tired of feelin' wrong. And if there is a compromise, I just can't see it in your eyes. ​I hit this bottle every day, but that don't make it go away. Head and heart they feel the pain and every morning it's the same.

Ghost 02:25
​He is sitting drinking coffee trying to feel so self-assured that he did not have to ponder the inner haunts that drove him far from her, those inner rooms and places, mistakes tucked safely into corners. Oh, don't look to close, herein lies the ghost. ​'Cause there are moments when he has had enough of living in his own skin and that woman touched him in the places he could not bear to begin to live in comfort, had to seal off all those corners. Oh, don't look too close, herein lies the ghost.

Chilocco 06:06
​Oklahoma territory, a wagon train from Blackwell come. One more stop before the Kansas border line where we will live four years like orphan sons. ​There's more they say that they must teach us. We've many new ways of life to learn. Nani mina Os cannot lead us, chemokman's living they must earn. ​Rock walls and wooden floors in Chilocco will not contain the wildness in my spirit in my soul. No rest ntowema tonight. Awake the vision of prairie lights. ​So, I will tend tomorrow's gardens and I will feed tomorrow's stock. But, the ways and the stories of my yesterday, I once knew well but I forgot.

Six Feet 02:46
​Here I sit, broken hearted. My man has a lover on the side. And I know I'll come to forgive him, but that little girl must die. ​Did you see the way she dresses? I can tell she's been around. Let's see if she learns her lesson when she's six feet in the ground. ​He takes her out to the road house and they get pretty drunk every time. And I don't think that they'd pay much attention if I snuck out and cut his brake line. ​Well, you might think that I'm over-reacting. You might think that I've lost my head. Oh, but if it's your man she's after, you gonna want that little girl dead.
