    I've had writers block for a while but started writing songs again recently, I will share with you the most recent ones I've written mostly folk and blues, not that anyone really wants to hear it but because I have nothing better to do xD


    Ain't Got No Love


    Drunken evening motel morning, trying to sleep
    I wake up to some stranger try'n to patronize me
    I ran fifty miles out the door, said I'm not the one you're looking for
    Ain't got no loving for growing old
    Ain't got no loving for your jaded soul
    Ain't got no love, love, ain't got no love and I'm the lovin' kind.


    Strung out one-way L.A. high times, riding free
    And yet another stranger wanna crucify me
    'Do you believe in God above?' I said no, but I believe in love
    Ain't got no reason to live your lie
    I'm not afraid to go to hell when I die
    Ain't got no love, love, ain't got no love and I'm the lovin' kind.


    Drugged highway double vision, smoking tea
    And yet another stranger wanna victimize me
    Well I hit the high road rolling stoned 'cause I can make it on my own
    Ain't got no reason for slowing down
    Ain't got no need to keep my feet on the ground
    Ain't got no love, love, ain't got no love and I'm the lovin' kind.


    New York City road to nowhere, feeling down
    And yet another stranger wanna haul me downtown
    I tried to run, he shot his gun, too bad I'm not the only one
    Ain'tgot no loving in the blood on your hands
    Ain't got no loving don't you understand
    Ain't got no love, love, ain't got no love and I'm the lovin' kind.

    Peace of Mind Blues, Pt. II


    Don't go out on the street tonight
    The sidewalks are burning in the black of the night
    Their axis is turning a world of decay
    Squander the ashes or do what you may
    But you still will not find peace of mind


    Don't go out on the road tonight
    The highways are broken in the absence of light
    Their manifest calls for some wicked device
    Sing me a song of their cruel sacrifice
    But you still will not find peace of mind


    Like the ones who stand guarded and the ones who stand blind
    The ones we've regarded as out of their minds, you too will not find...


    Don't go out on the town tonight
    To seek out your fortune and a world of delight
    But pray to your god that your soul he will save
    Your money won't buy you the love that you crave
    And you still will not find peace of mind


    Don't go down to the fire tonight
    To sell off your body as a ward of the fight
    A devil's inferno will soon bury me
    And though there you don't have to kill to be free
    Oh you still will not find peace of mind


    Like the ones who stand guarded and the ones who stand blind
    The ones we've regarded as out of their minds, you too will not find...


    Don't go down to the hall tonight
    To seek out spent wisdom of the wrong and the right
    They'll still cut you down if you talk out of turn
    Been six thousand years and they still haven't learned
    And you still will not find peace of mind


    Don't go down to the jail tonight
    The prisoners are weeping for eternity's might
    And they cry for the freedom they never will find
    The falsehood of justice is mighty unkind
    Oh you still will not find peace of mind


    Like the ones who stand guarded and the ones who stand blind
    The ones we've regarded as out of their minds, you too will not find...


    Don't go out on the street tonight
    The sidewalks are burning in the black of the night
    Their vacancy binds the whole city in flames
    And drives out the one who knows just who's to blame
    Oh you still will not find peace of mind.

    Traveling Marijuana Blues


    A worried mind and a world unkind
    There's no telling what I'll find
    I don't know much but this I know
    I'm going straight down to Mexico
    It takes time to make time, I've got nothing to show
    Gonna take what's mine and feeling fine go down to Mexico
    Down...


    I lay down low and I wake up high
    Peace and loving, by and by
    I don't care much what people say
    I'm going straight down to sweet L.A.
    It takes love to make love, and ours has gone away
    Got a bright new day that's there to stay down in sweet L.A.
    Down...


    Gone tomorrow, here today
    It makes no difference anyway
    I don't care much for what I've seen
    I'm going straight down to New Orleans
    It takes one to know one, if you know what I mean
    There's a pound of green in a love machine down in New Orleans
    Down...


    I will want the world to know
    I'm never gonna let it go
    I got no faith, I want no pride
    And I'm gonna go down satisfied
    It's mine for the taking, and love is on my side
    Come on down by the roadside gonna go down satisfied
    Down...


    And I believe you when you say
    That life can always be this way
    By this guitar, our acid dream
    We're gonna go down in history
    It's life in the making, and there for all to see
    May living free be the death of me down in history
    Down...


    A worried mind and a world unkind
    There's no telling what I'll find
    I don't know much but that's okay
    I'm going straight down to the Frisco Bay
    It takes time to make time, I've got nothing to say
    Gonna drift away might leave today down to the Frisco Bay
    Down...
