Caught an in-house concert. I was literally speechless. So much energy for just a coupla dozen folk. Guitar...phenomenal. Lyrics...exceptional.

down the river
they make the laws
to suit themselves
the ones that buy and sell the rest
of us down the river
the rest of us
dont need the touch
of takin' more than just enough to get
by down the river
chorus
down the river
we pray for one another
down the river
we hold on to our dreams
down the river
the hard times makes us stronger to get by
and leave this world behind
down the river
a bed to lay
me down at night
and for workin' hands to hold you tight
my darlin' and me down the river
now far away
the mem'ries of
simple days remainin' in
our broken hearts down the river
chorus
the gifts of little ones we love
our faith in blood and God above
they will last forever
down the river

malcolm holcombe
butcher in town
deep in the south
the cypress steals
cobweb moss
all gray in the middle
no wind no rain
keeps a good man down
sweatin' and a grinnin'
way down south
chorus
you aint from here
when the shit hits the fan
there's more meat on(for the) a pencil
from (for) the butcher in town
whiskey money
money and gold
splashin' spit
hard to swallow
ten foot tall
deep in the water
too deaf to call
damn ready to follow
chorus
hundred dollar bill's
jus' backpocket preachin'
no sign to the edgewise
drinkin' good whiskey
loud and heavy
like a dogday bluejay
blacksnake lungs
gonna slide down singin'
chorus
under the thumbs of the
cannons and guns and a
swattin' flies in the
stink of an eye
i dont claim a thing
not a two bit clue
but somebody whispered
war kills the truth
chorus
ev'ry word in a hand
gonna fly like a crow
better shut my mouth
to the promised land
all black and white
from the wars of the souls
too much whiskey
money and gold
chorus

twisted arms
fair and square
looks good on paper
coughin' up blood
at the head o' the table
satisfied
dont move a muscle
livin' in that skin
too dead to struggle
chorus
twisted arms in circulation
twisted arms in circulation
twisted arms in circulation
here for the common good
short and sweet
the silent type
cleanin' up good
in broad daylight
ruby lips
go the extra mile
suckin' up sin
a tight redlight
chorus
bilderberg's
got valet parkin'
strung up on a cumberbund
nobody starvin'
taxidermy
stuffin' my face
rats get squirrely
in a trophy case
chorus
down on the corner
with a wall-eyed smile
a rabbit in thunder
no compromise
fat and sassy
three months vacation
gimme all the answers
no hesitation
chorus
saved by the bell
ringin' next to me
workin' my knees
blown to hell for freedom
cop a squat
on the courthouse steps
where's my job
did i vote for this(that)
chorus

whitewash job

i live the blues cause you butcher the truth
hearsay monkey do dolittle candyman
you know who's who in a bulletproof jetplane
he sits in the corner aint the same
passed on to the sixth grade barely write his name
knowledge is power education is the law
loopholes for cowards and justice for all haha
chorus
it's a whitewash job
it's a job
it's a whitewash job
whitewashin' job
fda gonna turn my head around
six pills ev'ryday in a highrise junkietown
he works for fema saw him last nite
very relieved all day lyin' haha
chorus
people on the street no place to go
mobile homes in the fields sittin' empty i know
ping pong paddles blackwater come an' getcha
people need a hospital not a dc doolittle haha
chorus
turnin' a deaf ear turnin' a blind eye
turnin' my stomach here vommit on the inside
ten years later twenty or thirty
i see ya come clean but right now you're dirty haha
chorus
