Sure Pinocchio - CDS

Long Gone

As the darkness sets like a hand on a stone
And the stars become your body
All those places I have known
And the diesel burns down the miles of memory
Well I wake up in the dreaming
Do you ever dream of me
'cause I'm long gone - long gone from your love

And the morning sun just like one big ol' headlight
Seperates my sandy eyelids from the desert of my life
All's I see is road devils dancing in the heat
As it rises from the asphalt as my leaving just repeats
And I'm long gone - long gone from your love

You don't have to ask me where I'm going to because
I never turned around to watch it burning
I see you through the screen door but I'm long gone from your love
And girl, I don't know when I'll be returning
'cause I'm long gone, yes, long gone from your love

As the darkness sets like a hand on a stone
And the stars become your body
All those places I have known

The Trouble With Blood

I heard this boy talk about his daddy the other day
Like he was just some kind of crazy old fool
Maybe he is, maybe he ain't - hey, I don't know
But I know that boy loves his daddy
Just about as much as he can stand
Cruel words get spoken and hearts get broken
It's hard to understand
That's the trouble with blood, your sons and your daughters
That's the trouble with blood, it's thicker than water

I heard his mama screaming at her daughter the other day
Acting like she wished she'd never been born
I saw those tears welling up in both of their eyes
You know that mama never had more joy
Than when that baby come into this world
The pain and the sorrow will be there tomorrow
It's hard to understand
That's the trouble with blood, your mothers and fathers
That's the trouble with blood, it's thicker than water
You can't wash it out, no, no
You can curse it you can swear it
That's the trouble with blood, you just gotta wear it
It's hard to understand...etc

Over In My Mind

When I was a kid I traveled the rooftops of my town
Trying to raise up above a family
I look at those houses now when I'm standing on the ground
Over impressed with gravity

Me and Joe Hingst we rode 'em tall like sailing ships
Two Magellans heading on out to the sea
And up on those eaves just about anything you'd believe
You could get your heart to see

CHORUS:
I roll it over in my mind I roll it over in my mind
I roll it over in my mind
Five hundred miles and a day behind
Tomorrow that sun is gonna shine
I roll it over in my mind

We sailed Indiana just like it was the Bering Sea
Riding on those amber waves of grain
And up on that roof, well you didn't need no proof
There was gonna come driving rain
So batten down the hatches yes and landlock all their hearts
Up on the rooftops we'll be free
to sail our ships out past the cornfields and drag strips
carried away by the deep blue sea

CHORUS

What I was thinking, yeah, somewhere in my brain
Me and Joe Hingst might have had it right
Just high enough to see what we did not wanna be
I think I'm gonna ride the roof tonight

CHORUS
