Find The Light
I don’t mind if you don’t mind
You got my time if you got the time
There ain’t nothing more
You need to say
Well I don’t hate even when you hate
My head is clear I can relate
There ain’t nothing more
You need to say
I got no blame when you’re to blame
Seeing straight ain’t such a shame
There ain’t nothing more
You need to say
Where I’ll be is by your side
Whether times be hard or high
There you’ll find me in plain sight
Ain’t no dark now just find the light
I won’t speak even when you yell
My feet are sayin all there is to tell
There ain’t nothing more
You need to say
I’ll not move even when you run
Been there and back you can have your fun
There ain’t nothing more
You need to say
Where I’ll be is by your side
Whether times be hard or high
There you’ll find me in plain sight
Ain’t no dark now just find the light

La Cienega
La Cienega, La Cienega
The La Cienega
Where I’ll always call home
She puts up her hair
And lies down beside me
Her long long long day
Simply drifts far away
She offers a kiss
And bourbon to drink
She tells me of all the ways
And everything in between
La Cienega, La Cienega
The La Cienega
Where I’ll always call home
She falls fast asleep
Holding tightly to me
I can feel how she breathes
And feels safe in my keep
I’ll stay here my days
And nights in between
This place I call home
The little ranch of my dreams
La Cienega, La Cienega
The La Cienega
The little ranch of my dreams

Far Away
I don’t know,
where I’ll go or if I’ll, If I’ll stay
But I know
When you phoned I had to get far away
I felt betrayed in the crowd
I had to push past the fray
Those words you spoke
All my life my love in vain
What you said all that he did
It blew my head right (off)
now I see the daylight
and I can’t get too far away
From what I know
Now that you told me not a thing
My life on hold
So I guess I’ll fold,
I’ll fold and quit the game
So I, so I thought I held the cards
But I was getting played
My hand was good
But your bluff it just blew me away
What you said all that you did
It blew my head right (off)
now I curse the daylight
And I can’t get too far away
(All that you are)
All you did, All that you are,
It blew my head right (off)
I can’t get too far…
And I can’t get to far away

Reachin’ For Nothin’
When the days stretch on
And keep kickin me down
Try to get up but can’t get off the ground
Sometimes I get tired of reachin’ for nothin’
I put you up on a pedestal
So I could see you oh so well
Withdrawn by the side
In plain sight where I could hide
Now I extend to you
Something you would ever never do
I think I’ll call you on the phone
I’m sure you there but you’re not home
Jot down words you can’t ignore
With no reply for one week more
I try so doggedly
To get you to notice me
When the days stretch on
And keep kickin me down
Try to get up but can’t get off the ground
Sometimes I get tired of reachin’ for nothin’’
Another day of 9 to 5
Unburied but not quite alive
Hand to mouth and feet to street
Unopened mail and mouths to feed
A never-ending need for things you cannot keep
When the days stretch on
And keep kickin me down
Try to get up but can’t get off the ground
Sometimes I get tired of reachin’ for nothin’
So I pull a bottle from the shelf
Bourbon makes me feel good about myself
Maybe I’ll light another cigarette
That old black lung ain’t killed me yet
Think I’ll just get stoned
And serenade myself to sleep
When the days stretch on
And keep kickin me down
Try to get up but can’t get off the ground
Sometimes I get tired of reachin’ for nothin’

I Know
I know that your mind is made
I know you’ve a foot in the grave
I know you didn’t get your share
I know you know everything
I know you’ll never ever stray
I know you’re gonna lie in wait
I know all the things you say
I know you won’t hear anything
But what you don’t see
You’re too much like me
We shouldn’t let this be
Or let it rob our peace
I know that you won’t forgive
I know you won’t live and let live
I know that you’re destructive
I know I know I know
But what you don’t see
You’re just too much like me
We shouldn’t let this be
Or let it rob our peace

Tucson
Now I’m from Tucson
Ya spell it with a ”C” first
Down in Baja Arizona
Out in the wild wild west
Not too far from Tombstone
Whiskey, guns, and saloons
We ain’t seen no water
Since the last monsoon
I’m friends with the daylight
Look forward to the clean night air
And the setting sun here
Is better than anywhere
You can bring your piece of sorrow
Hold on for what its worth
Old Pueblo make it gone tomorrow
As long as you don’t go and search
You can try and head out tomorrow
To Tulsa, Flag or Ft. Worth
This town will never let go
She’ll pull you down, back down to her
Don’t matter where you came from
Or if you rose up from this old hand
Broke the rents in California
Or crawled north in 60 miles of sand
Once you’re here ya never ditchin it
Eternal town of gravity
You’ve crossed below the Gila
Now you can never ever leave

Jim Howell Tucson, Arizona
Raised from the caliche bound floor of the sonoran desert, Jim Howell draws from the duality of human life, hope/depression, light/evil, achievement/ lowered expectations. Burn It Down Bleedin' Heart is a call to the self and others to join together, brandish the heart that bleeds for others rather than allowing it to be bullied and burn down the establishment of hate, mistrust and self service. ... more
