DEAD WHERE I STAND
(Bennett/Winget)
Back home to the red land
Swim up from the flood
Beg a dollar from a rich man
Drink a bucket of blood
Cool wind on the water
Fish floating on the sand
I’ve got a crumpled up dollar
A thirty-eight in my hand
Oh, I’m dead where I stand
Oh, oh
I’m dead where I stand
Forgive me Lord
I’m dead where I stand
Something in the wind
Blew me free
Set me out
On a shooting spree
No, I don’t mean bullets
But the freedom that they bring
Wrap a tie ‘round my neck
Pledge allegiance to me
‘Cause I’m dead where I stand
Oh, oh
I’m dead where I stand
Forgive me Lord
I’m dead where I stand

HOLDIN’ ME

Theme Song for 'Warlocks Rising'
Doin’ time on a government line
It ain’t nothin’ to me
Bangin’ a rock by a click of the clock
And suckin’ on nicotine
But I’m waitin’
For the judge to set me free
I did a little somethin’
But it ain’t why you're holdin’ me
Bars, beds, and rain
It all looks the same
I gotta run
Man, I gotta run
I’ll break the chains
And find a way to the river
I may be a devil
But I ain’t no sinner
But I’m waitin’
For the judge to set me free
I did a little somethin’
But it ain’t why you're holdin’ me

BLOW, WIND, BLOW
(Bennett/Winget)
Red dressed devil lady
Loves like a pro
A bat of her lashes
Makes a dead man moan
Cry out her name
Like a crow to the sun
She’s layin’ on a bed
In room 201
Blow, wind, blow
Let her go, let her go
Blow, wind, blow
Let her go
Blow, wind, blow
Take her to the water
Where the dead vines part
Knock her head from her body
With your silver guitar
Put her head in a hole
And you’ll free her soul
Strum a few chords
And she’ll cry nevermore
As the sun is dead
And the dead are gone
The green eyed lady is the devil’s pawn
Play her like a whistle
And you’ll play another song
Or let her lay the devil
As you wallow in a swamp
Blow, wind, blow
Let her go, let her go
Blow, wind, blow
Let her go
Blow, wind, blow
BLOW, WIND, BLOW

HERE AND AWAY
(Bennett/Winget)
Moon on water
Shine on the midnight bay
Soon we’ll be walkin’
Back from where we came
And you’ll be with me
When I’m here
And when I’m away
The blue of your eyes
Like the water at our feet
Take nothing from the sun
And shine upon the sea
Let it rescue me
And keep us in this moment
And you’ll be with me
When I’m here
And when I’m away
I try to breathe
To let it through
The love inside
I thought of you
I never knew
Perfection of a moment
Because you're with me
When I’m here
And when I’m away
Oh, I’ll hold you near me
When I’m here
And when I’m away
Here and away
Here and away
