Johnny Maudlin's Concert In The Can!

This here is a three song set, done for my brothers Mark and Ted (in Brothers they are Patty and Michael respectively). The set includes The Ballad of John Michael Smith, Winter Storm Is Coming and Brothers.


One More Time (The Ballad of Johnny Smith)

1-John Michael Smith walks out on the street
Hopeless hungry looking for something to eat
Wasted angry
Disinclined
To listen even one more time...

2-Only two weeks on full parole
Painfully aware he's packing quite a hole
Deep down inside
Maybe it's his soul
He's confused he don't really know...

Bridge

Sees the workers trundle off to work
John Michael Smith is stuck down in the dirt
All the workers caught up in their dreams
Johnny only knows where he's been
And he's afraid of going back....

3-Officer says mister move along
Johnny's feelings rise up swift and strong
Blinded trapped
Disenfranchised
All he sees is the blood behind his eyes...

Bridge

4-Someone shouts out holy Christ he's shot
John Michael bleeds out right there where he's dropped
How come what for people asked the cop
Officer tells the crowd they got to go
Officer states this man he said no....

Repeat first verse and bridge

Winter Storm Is Coming

Winter is coming they say
I'll believe it when it's here
Living in a rain forest
Well the rain is always near...

I love to blow my breath in the cold outside
Watch a puffy white cloud
Living in a rain forest
Cold weather is not allowed...

I don't fancy living in an old body
I would rather be young and spry
With the clock just a ticking and talking
An old body is nearby....

I do not fancy living in an old body
I would rather be young and spry
With a winter storm bearing down on us
An old body is nearby...

Winter is coming they say
I'll believe it when it's here
Cause I'm living in a rain forest
And disappointment is always near
I been living in a rain forest
And the rain is always near

Brothers

I grew up
Three years behind
Tagging along like little brothers do
Patty was smart
He's got an open heart
Michael was a boy on a mission
Shannon stayed home
Playing make believe
We grew up in a lucky town...

CHORUS

We grew up together
Like brothers
We'll go on together
Like brothers
Then one day
A long time away
We'll go down like brothers do...

Turn the page
This is a different age
See the wrinkles
And the furrowed brow
If everybody say
We only got today
Then how come no one's coming out to play
We must be blind
This is just a state of mind
Turn around it's sugar pond...

CHORUS
