ejheberer I think someday people will hear these records and wonder why they didn't get the recognition they deserve. Pure and hypnotic songs that take me somewhere else. A gift.

Pink Eldorado 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Love me, baby Squeeze me tighter Kiss me better Say, “Forever...” Ya ya ya ya ya... She likes her kisses tender and she drinks her coffee black Knows how to shoot a gun but she says she’d rather dance And she walks across my mind I smell her perfume on that summer dress I just wanna sweep her up again Ya I want her back again Chorus And it’s been like this for years One long enduring spell They say, “You’ll know when you know...” And then they act like they can’t tell Her old man used to beat her She said, “I ain’t never goin’ back there.” These stories hurt To tell ‘em they taste bitter Makes it worse they act like they don’t care Chorus Cooked up the last of our saving Y’know cheap wine and old bread Swayed to the skipping side of the Bobby record Until we fell right into bed “Can ya dream a little dream for me, baby?” I got a dream for you... “Can ya dream a little dream for me, darlin’? I need this one come true.” Chorus ©2018

Flyin' in the Futura 04:49
lyrics
buy track
It’s so easy daydreaming ‘bout That Falcon Futura driving ‘round The winding Westside Highway As I look to the Olympians And cruise while you play Ya, you had us listening To that good feeling guitar music While I’m climbing up to heaven The sandman singing... I bought a little piece of land out there I’m gonna build a house Consider it yours Make yourself at home anytime you’re in town They said a life is too short, baby Although I see the cracks in the illusion It was such a sweet chase And at the end of the day We take that Futura out cruising Ya know I remember, It seems like way back when... Posted up on the hood of my car In the parking lot at the motor inn Ya, he was gonna pick you up And tell you all the things you wished were true And you’d look him in his eyes Believe all his lies like you always wanted to Chorus [She said our life it’s too short, baby] No no, you can’t have it all Oh no, you can’t get it all Only what you’re willing to take back home You can it into the future Cruising in the Futura I wanna take you with me, baby... Let’s go cruising... ©2012

Edith you’re American Queen Rockin’ Roller ’66 Fries and a shake it, baby, twist it now Rocket 88 Rain dance gon’ save the world... My sweetheart is a sun goddess Shine just like a silver doll Mori tats, cinnamon skin Ya, y’know she got it all Desert dogs, peaceful and slow Friends on Edith, they're in the know But I’m running out of dough now, baby What if L.A. worked out? Then the Chevy punches Oldies, old school or country Barbie and spirits Do ya hear it? Can ya hear it? Who’s that calling? Edith dearest? Oh, Edith you’re just an American queen Now Edith you’re just an American dream Now Edith you’re just an American queen You’re just, you’re just... What if L.A. worked out? What if we just tied up the knot And tied it tight, so tight? All right Desert dogs, peaceful and slow Barbie and spirits Friends in the know Honey, do ya really love me, need me? Well... Sun dance gon’ save the world... ©2017

Ripe Rot 03:57
lyrics

This pretty baby, I’ll never make her mine She only her own even after we sign on the line She wear your gold before she wear your name All the while show ya fire that burn through the rain Down to the crossroads where east meets west Where the lost souls pledge themselves to happiness You wanna make me a man? I got an heirloom rock for the ring If it don’t scare you then it don’t scare me If it don’t scare you, pretty baby... Then it don’t scare me... We had a great party and we made a great mess And we left in the morning with the treasure chest Got a rose in a vase on the table with a ripe rot sheen Tell me, darling, you know what that mean? If it don’t scare you, pretty baby... Then it don’t scare me No, it don’t scare me ‘cause I love you As much as I could Know what that means Know what that means? Yes, I love you As much as I could know what that means Know what that means? I know what that means ©2015

Big Guns 03:19
lyrics
buy track
We’re all huddled around the TV tonight Loaded up in the bars and by firesides Waiting for the big revealer We need a spirit healer When the big guns come out Will you wave a banner like a opportunist? The trumpets glaring... When the big guns come out will you wait for me? I was waiting for you, baby When trumpets were blaring... Said I drink too much liquor You can see it in my skin Get a clean up, take a shower O! Cecilia, so ideal ya When the big guns come out Will you wave a banner? Will you wait for me, baby? When the big guns come out? I was waiting for my baby We were wrapped up in bargains We were wrapped up in empties And they say, “They don’t care no more...” ©2018

Lone Dancer 03:59
lyrics
buy track
He pulled her close Kinda roughly against his chest And pressed his lips into her forehead Said, “I love you—I love you so much... Do you understand?” Then he let her go ‘Cause he had to let her go There’s beauty in the night Behind the lights and Hollywood blur I’m sure you seen him out there Sometimes I think that I’ve seen her When I get you back I won’t have to pretend ’Til then I’m just a lone dancer At the bitter end Yoking arms like a conquerer Baby, how you get so strong? I can only pardon the craving The thought of you, it keeps me hanging on I’m just a pilgrim now Smothered the faults of love Don’t know where you’re going tonight But, baby, if you’re willing I wanna come along and see that Beauty in the night Behind the lights and Hollywood blur I’m sure you seen it out there I hear if you hang around too long You really feel the burn Now when I get my sweetheart back I ain’t gonna have to pretend ’Til then I’m just a lone dancer At the bitter end... Find me lone dancing to-na-na-night Find me lone dancing at the bitter end tonight ©2017

Phantom Embrace 03:40
lyrics
buy track
She said, “Baby, how you doing tonight?” And, “What kind of stuff do ya like?” Her voice sound like a photo album I kept quiet, I didn’t say nothin’ She was sweet, she took her time “Stay on the line, honey, it’s your dime. I don’t mind being the one who talks. I’m here to tell ya anything you want...” Then she told me ‘bout the town where she from And some young hunk poppin’ bubble gum Swept through her life just like a hurricane That's how she ended up in the city of angels I found her card at The Calando The well taste just like letting go I only order cold bottled beer And tear the calendar by the year Then she asked me why it was I called Almost hung up and then I paused When she said, “Trust me, I know how lonesome This city gets when you ain’t got no one but the angels...” Two lost voices in the night Found ourselves on the other side Another stranger with a candle still burnin’ This late you’re either earning or yearning I was wounded and I felt misplaced Getting ready, throw it all away Too many desolate decades Wrapped up in a phantom embrace... ©2017

Nouveau Lester 06:22
lyrics
buy track
Fairness when it’s in favor Bury the truth if it gets In the way of the story That’s the motto of power Feel better than an hour in church Feeling better than the sense of loss setting in Now I’m convinced All these artificial choices I’ve been promised It’s all bliss, it’s all bliss... God bless those who had to join the club Even if he does, I hope I never do Probably need it or I probably don’t All those nouveau Lester’s ‘round Gon’ help me make my, make my... Hone my sound! Gonna help me hone my sound... I found a way to love and rest Bring me any problem that is honest How many of these cities are yours by now? “Happiness is a discipline” "Hunger is the best sauce” Surrender your ambitions If you cannot surrender to them completely For better or worse, I am yours For better or worse, I am yours There’s only so many hours in this day There’s so many days left in this life Another day in another life Then I’m off to bed Balzac said, “Greed begins where poverty ends...” And yet, I still got love for them ©2018

Angel 04:04
lyrics

My baby must have been kissed by an angel Who missed someone who really needed saving And gave her the power to be righteous in sin For the Lord just watches each time we commit Now you wanna be good or do ya wanna be right? You tryna sleep in this old town tonight? She revved the engine looked up and grinned Like she could seduce Jack Nicholson Hallelujah, let’s ride Well, I been persuaded by the acts of flesh One or twice before still got some pages left All that said, I think I know how it ends We all get a little suffering then Hallelujah, let’s ride She said, “I’m looking for a gentleman I need a touch of a human kind Even if ya taste like an angel...” ©2018

The Way 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Jackie don’t play the guitar much no more Ever since he got that job At the convenience store And he’s taking night classes to learn a trade So he can bring home a decent wage He wanna buy nice things for the Lady He wanna say, “Yes.” When she says, “Can we...?” He wanna put someone else before himself Oh, the man he used to be? It still gives him hell The way it went The way it was The way you thought it could be The way you chased yourself The way you played it for free The way that spirit took you out there And made you believe everything would work out Just like this For the rest of your days Jackie sold me $20 of gas last week And we ended up talking for hours it seemed And every time that I would go to leave He’d hand me another silver from the freeze I asked him if he ever gets a chance to play And he just said, “Ya know I got a baby on the way... They'll give you a reason to make a sacrifice!” Don't forget to dust off the Tele in a paradise Chorus For the rest of your days... Whatcha gonna do with the rest of your days... The rest of your days ©2017
