I'll Remember Al

Sittin' in the kitchen
Grinnin' through his teeth
Rappin' on the table
With knuckles big as knees
Uncle Al
Big, bad Uncle Al
Messin' with the kiddies
Fixin' busted junk
Get away with murder
Then tell ya how it's done
Uncle Al
Big, bad Uncle Al
One foot in the grave
One foot on the gas
Always on the run
Never lookin' back
When I'm feelin' low
And I really need a smile
I'll remember Al
Strummin' country western
Fishin' at the pond
He don't leave the house
Without his trucker hat on
Uncle Al
Big, bad Uncle Al
One foot in the grave
One foot on the gas
Always on the run
Never lookin' back
When I'm feelin' low
And I really need a smile
I'll remember Al
93 years drivin'
But. never did get far
Born and died in Scraton
All he left behind's a car
Uncle Al
Big, bad Uncle Al
One foot in the grave
One foot on the gas
Always on the run
Never lookin' back
When I'm feelin' low
And I really need a smile
I'll remember Al

Don't Look Back

You and me baby
We just got to get away
Cos the people 'round here
Don't see it our way
Got the car all packed
No time to waste
If we leave right now
We can make it by daybreak
Never needed anyone but you
And I know sometimes it don't
Seem like I do
But the fire in my heart
Well it burns real true
I just can't sleep on a
Dream I'm due
And the truth it hurts
And the lies don't work
And the good goes bad
And the bad comes back
And the kids grow old
And the old folks pass
Put your hand in mine
And baby don't look back
Well a little bit of heaven
Goes a long, long way
Puts a dream in your heart
That you can't escape
It's a lonely walk
When ya don't walk straight
And the folks you know
They talk sideways so
Don't ask baby don't waste time
Get your best dress on
Cos your hair's just right
We're gonna break free
While the moon's still high
The stars are shining
And I feel alright
And the truth it hurts
And the lies don't work
And the good goes bad
And the bad comes back
And the kids grow old
And the old folks pass
Put your hand in mine
And baby don't look back
My old man was down on his knees
With a pain in his heart
Only I could see
He was dying to live
Trying to speak
But something deep down
Wouldn't let him be
Oh, I would give anything
Just to ride with him in the driver's seat
Just to lay one kiss on my mama's cheek
But for right now babe
It's just you and me
And the truth it hurts
And the lies don't work
And the good goes bad
And the bad comes back
And the kids grow old
And the old folks pass
Put your hand in mine
And baby don't look back

Family Tree

Don't cry
It ain't as bad as it seems
Sweet child
You're everything I hoped you'd be
And life
Was made just for you and me
Takes time
But someday you'll see what I mean
So follow your heart
Follow your dreams
Don't be afraid
When you don't see me
Cos I'm inside you
And you're inside me
We're all just leaves
On a family tree
This world
Is bigger than you'll ever know
The sky
Is bluer than a blue jay's soul
And I
Have gone as far as I can go
Fly high
It's the only way to get back home
And follow your heart
Follow your dreams
Don't be afraid
When you don't see me
Cos I'm inside you
And you're inside me
We're all just leaves
On a family tree
