Reworked rocking and rolling with Ol' Yeller for the "Sounder" album (2004) this one's pretty rough, but I had to get it down..must have been late at night. A lot of these were recorded between the hours of 12 and 4:00 am.

lyrics

Solitaire

I can’t win at solitaire it’s just not in the cards
And I couldn’t spend another night in that old smoky bar
the weekends used to rock and roll but now the phone don’t ring
How many of my former mates are doing the same thing?
I forgot to call you babe, bring me home dessert
I’m gonna wait up for you anyway, I even put on a clean shirt
My eyes are glossing over from watching too much tv
And if I spend another week like this it’ll be the end of me
What a tangled web I’m tangled in
A lesser man would’ve given in a long time ago
But I’ve got the thickest skin, you could call it my exoskeleton
and I’m thriving on this strugglin’
It’s quite a show
But it’s gotta go
Under a waning moon tonight there’s lovebirds out on a date
There was dinner and a movie, man the whole thing was working out great
And as they kiss goodnight they catch a glimpse of a falling star
They secretly wish for each other as he walks back to the carBe careful what you wish for boy, you don’t know what it’ll do
You get comfortable and happy then everybody turns their back on you
So be sure to cause some trouble every now and then
You gotta have something tragic to entertain your friends
