I'm The Fool Singing The Blues
Words and Music by Barry Keys
Morning comes and the sun may shine
But there’s a storm brewing across my mind
The situation may not improve
And I’m the fool
Singing the blues
There’s nothing special about the way I sing
There’s nothing special about the way I do my thing
Anything special has left for someone new
And I’m the fool
Singing the blues
BRIDGE
I could have been so wise
Stayed safe inside my clever disguise
Yet, it is still love that I would choose
So, I’m the fool
Singing the blues
This misery don’t need no company
Nobody to touch, thank you very much
I did not understand
Love’s one golden rule
And I’m the fool
Singing the blues

The Government’s Gone Crazy
Words and Music by Barry Keys
The government’s gone crazy
It cannot say what it really means
The government’s gone crazy
Lets our enemies practice on live Marines
Another war we could have won correctly
But things are not always what they seem
The government has gone crazy, Baby
Gone right out of its’ ever-loving mind
It’s gone non-responsive
Ignoring questions and acting unkind
Sells American ports to the foreigners
While leaving every child behind
Hidden agenda hidden agenda
I think that they have hidden it in plain view
Hidden agenda hidden agenda
That’s what crazy governments do
They took all that security money
But did they ever come through?
The government’s gone crazy
And it has really got me down
We paid for Iraqi infrastructure
But it is nowhere to be found
This no-bid contract strategy
Is fundamentally unsound
Corporate agenda corporate agenda
Those psychopaths are playing us for fools
Corporate agenda corporate agenda
They’ve twisted up all of the rules
I say that we cancel the next invasion
And send everybody back to school

Can’t Go Wrong
Words and Music by Barry Keys
I must live my life away
Because of the things that I must be
Though I know it’s very hard
My baby’s love always sticks by me
Set me up or knock me down
There’s nothing you can say
If times are hard or things get sad
My baby’s love never goes away
CHORUS
Hey cause she loves me my baby
That just makes me strong
Oh yes she loves me my sweet one
I know I can’t go wrong
A new temptation shows it’s self
Almost each and every day
My baby holds a solid love
That never goes astray
I will drive that narrow road
And spend my time alone
And know that when I have arrived
That I am truly home
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I know that I can’t go wrong
But baby, I’m not trying
You know
Both of us have had
Enough of crying
I may be as penniless a man
As I have ever been
But out here on this lonesome road
My baby’s love she makes me a king

Don’t You Tell
Words and Music by Barry Keys
She was the girl
With the prettiest blue eyes
So sweet and honest
She never learned how to disguise
What she was thinking
The weak and innocent
Never see it coming down
What everyone knows
In a small Texas town
And could have told her
So don’t you tell
And don’t you cry
The only thing left
For you to do
Is run away
The rest of your life
So don’t you tell
And don’t you cry
You can spend life
Asking the question
And never find out why
While we can walk together
And you will get by

Illegal Drugs
Words and Music by Barry Keys
So you say you’re walking out on me
Just to change you scenery for a while
But you make me crazy
Because you’re fickle and you’re hazy, lazy too
Well you really really knowed me
Because you really really showed me
Who loves who
But I know you’re coming back again
Because you’re usually coming back again
Ain’t it true?
CHORUS
You walk away
You walk on back
That’s what you always do
You love is like illegal drugs
It don’t always come through
Ooo, Ooo Baby
My sweet Rock N Roll lady
Where are you now?
You know how to sleigh me
You can work me and you can play me
In your own sweet style
CHORUS

Sunday School
Words and Music by BarryKeys
I’m sitting here in Sunday school trying to love them all
They act so damn neurotic but you know they’ve heard the call
They have their incantations, their praises and their songs
The self-righteous mothers they don’t know if they are right or wrong
I’m thumbing down the highway feeling oh, so free
They tell me that’s no way to live that that’s no way to be
I just want to tell them that they can play or pass
Because if they do not like it they can blow it out their back door
Going to the station where the people are heading home
They’ve got it together they’ve got that only place to roam
They’ve got that loving in their eyes and no reason to despise you
Self-righteous ethnocentrisms, predetermined destiny and
Look at all these people who just cannot leave me be
I have a true confession, a little light of day
That they don’t have to preach to me because I can learn another way
Going to the station where the people are heading home
They’ve got it together they’ve got that only place to roam
They’ve got that loving in their eyes and no reason to despise you
They tell you not to take nothing, they tell you that you should give
They say that you’re escaping and that ain’t no way to live
And now I will confront it the one true thing to say
That I really love them because I behave the same damn way

Wayfaring Stranger
I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
There is no toil sickness or danger
Up in the land to which I go
I’m going there no more to wander
I’m going there no more to roam
Angry clouds may gather ‘round me
Dangerous road is steep and hard
Beautiful fields lie just before me
Come get the long awaited reward
I’m going there no more to wander
I’m going there no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

The Way That I Am
Words and Music by Barry Keys
I've been coming up on some people strong
I don't know what that means
I've been clinging to the notion that the world is a fair place
Yeah, I'm the idealistic dreamer
Well I know I know where I stand
Maybe you spent all this time proving I'm not perfect I am
Not perfect
I will share with you my life
And help you make your plan
I will tell you everything
But I cannot reveal or conceal
The way that I am
I was stepping to some other drummer
To find that he was not mine
There is nothing really missing but, I spent a lot of time
Wondering if I was not lost in the things
That I had found
Now I'm certain
Well, I'm almost certain
That I am homeward bound.
I will share with you my life
And help you reach your plan
I will tell you everything
But I cannot reveal or conceal
The way that I am
No it's not an obsession
It's the rarest of passion
I don't know where forgiveness comes in
But I hope that there's some for me
I was asking for some kind of favor
But, I could not state the gain
I was reaching for medication
But, I could not locate the pain
I will share with you my life
And help you keep your plan
I will tell you everything
But I cannot reveal or conceal
The way that I am
Holding you close, Baby
Holding you close, Girl
Holding you close, Baby
Holding you close, Girl

WALKING IN THE LIGHT words and music by Barry Keys
There is a dream that I’ve been living
And just now, I am believing
Reveal my heart
It’s through with breaking
This is a step
Walking in the light
There is a gift that I am giving
It’s the one I’ve been receiving
So take it now
I am not leaving
I’m here with you
Walking in the light
Walking in the light
Out in this space of exploration
Catch a glimpse of our salvation
It does not come
With explanation
Discovered here
Walking in the light
Walking in the light
Walking in the light
Walking
With you
Walking
In the light
