Title: 30 Minutes To Go
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien, Ethan Freckleton, Mike McLaughlin
Verse 1:
30 minutes to save my soul
snake bite burn’n out of control
Poison coursing through my veins
Never knew nothing that felt this strange
Bleed the burden to ease the pain
Nobody here left to blame
Feeling light headed blurry lines
Won’t be long before I’m blind
Chorus:
It’s too soon to fade to black
It’s too late to bring her back
It’s too soon to lose my sight
It’s too late to make it right
Got to stop the clock some how
I need absolution now
Time is running out – to save my soul
30 minutes to go
Verse 2:
Left her body back at the camp
Funny how karma leaves it’s stamp
I found her lying with that snake
Her lips were blue she would not wake
Leaving her alone big mistake
A choice for her I can’t unmake
Ran to her side and I knelt down
The fangs sunk in our fate was bound
Chorus:
Bridge: Dm, Am
I’m feeling guilty as hell
Left my daughter alone
It’s all my fault I never anticipated C, B, A
Stupid argument – now she’s dead on the ground
No more peace to be found
F, G
Got 30 minutes to go – 30 minutes to go – 30 minutes to go…..
Chorus: x2

Dream That Far
Words & Music By: Denzien, Quirk, O’Reilly, Lee
We’re going round and round again
The battle lines are drawn
Backed into our corners
Where this contest can’t be won
We are waiting for the warning bell to ring Like two fighters who are losing everything
Maybe you were right
I been losing heart
And up all night
Reaching out to the stars
Touching nothing but air
I wish that we could find our way
You know that we have come so far If we could only dream
Together we can dream that far
We lost the spark that brought us love,
so many days gone by
the fire of our passion
dying right before our eyes
We are holding on with nothing left to show
We can’t get it back but still won’t let it go
Can we climb to the heights?
With so much wrong
And too little right
I don’t want to fight
To get along
I wish that we could find our way
You know that we have come so far If we could only dream
Together we can dream
If we could only dream that far
Instead of fighting who we are
we’d ignite the fire in our hearts again
We are waiting for the warning bell to ring Like two fighters who are losing everything
We can climb to the heights
Take what’s wrong
and make it right
cause I don’t want to fight
To get along
I know that we can find our way
You know that we have come so far
If we could only dream
Together we can dream that far
Yeah together we can dream that far - Dream that far - Dream that far - Dream that far

Exotic Berry
Words & Music by: Law Blank, Rick Denzien, Hal Cohen, Debra Lee
Delicate little one - growing ripe under the sun
Teasing Me upon the vine - the morning frost covers her
Rebuffs me every time
Chorus:
Says she hates being alone - destroys my comfort zone
Well she will always be - EXOTIC BERRY
This bitter craven is so cruel – my prisoned mind is such a fool
It’s got me twisted up inside - try not to show it on
Show it on - on the outside
Chorus 2:
Says she hates being alone - destroys my comfort zone
Well she will always be - EXOTIC BERRY - EXOTIC BERRY
Bridge:
This morning light - looks so good on you
My senses yearn - to taste your ripened fruit
First Morning Dew - Drops smile for you
My body aches – Tri painted hue – won’t pass on you
Quiet rain fell on the roof each droplet begging me for proof
That what could spoil would ever be
The happiness I feel only when you’re next to me
Chorus 3:
Says she hates being alone - destroys my comfort zone
Well she will always be
Leaves me shaken in the wind. Wish I could let her in,
I got to let her in because she sets me free
EXOTIC BERRY - EXOTIC BERRY- EXOTIC BERRY- EXOTIC BERRY

Southern Rain
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien, Alan Bennett, Jim Carolan
Southern rain fall on me
Take this heart and wash it clean
Troubled times are all I've known
Lord, I feel so far from home
Do you know the end is near
Do you cry Heaven's tears
Are you sent from His great hand
To lead me to His promised land
Chorus:
'Cause i'm knocking on the devil's door
and i've been here before
i'm not sure this time i can walk away
'cause he's promised bridges of gold
only you can save my soul
SOLO:
All year long I work your land
Raisin' corn with these two hands
Hear my prayer, my desperate call
If you still care for me at all
Chorus 2:
Southern rain fall on me
Take this heart and wash it clean
Troubled times are all I've known
Lord, I feel so far from home

GREEN SKY
Words By: Z Mulls, , Rick Denzien,, Debra Lee
Music By Rick Denzien
VERSE 1 & 2:
Albuquerque’s wondering where the hell I’ve gone
Tryin’ to clear things in my head
pressure getting so extreme,
too much tension too much steam
That’s what I thought, that’s what I said
That’s what I thought, that’s what I said
Second guessing why this desert Leads me on
wind is kicking up my doubt
sky is changing everywhere
static crackles through the air
Thunder roll in there’s no way out
This wind is colder than that kiss
I never seen a storm like this
CHORUS:
I see a Green Sky comin’
On the run but I can’t hide
I see a Green Sky comin’
Who will I be if I sur vive … if I sur vive
[last time] Tumblin’ round – caught in the tide
will I die – my world collides
VERSE 3
Isolation seemed like such a good idea
Be the master of my fate
easy answers don’t exist
nature hammers down her fist
Trying to run but it’s too late
There is a truth that I must face
This storm has put in my place
BRIDGE:
Where do you go when the sky turns green
Is It a sign what does it mean?
I got turn a round if the wind dies down
CHORUS:
I see a Green Sky comin’
On the run but I can’t hide
I see a Green Sky comin’
Who will I be if I sur vive … if I sur vive
[last time] Tumblin’ round – caught in the tide
will I die – my world collides

This Road Won’t Take Me Home
Words : Rick Denzien, Liam Quirk, Bob Lame, Linda Collen
Music By: Rick Denzien, Bob Lame
In Buffalo – Driving - To Montréal
Black ice the - Snow plow – Impassable
On this path I travel – Follow in the blind
Lost my frame of reference – I could use a sign(ed)
The North star - Guidance? - Can’t see at all
No thruway - Car wreck – Not drive able
Stolen from my memory – Peace I once could find
Storm in all directions – drifting far behind
This road won’t this road won’t take me home – tonight - No matter where I turn
This road won’t this road won’t take me home - tonight
My father – Hero - Since I was small
And mom gone – Last Year – Still I recall
They used be there waiting – shelter from the grind
House is just a shell now – I’ll Trade it for a sign
This road won’t this road won’t take me home – tonight - No matter where I turn
Sometimes there’s no goodbye - Keep on drive between the lines
This place lives deep inside
Still hear their words I swear - Move on let them guide me there
Home can be anywhere
On this path I travel – Follow in the blind
Lost my frame of reference – I’ll find it all in time
Chorus III:
This road won’t this road won’t take me home – tonight - No matter where I turn
This road won’t this road won’t take me home - tonight
This road won’t this road won’t take me home – tonight - No matter where I turn
This road won’t pass one more red light

Title: Promised Land
Words Debra Lee & Rick Denzien Music By: Rick Denzien
Ver 6
Verse 1:
Nine to five turned twenty-four seven
To make ends meet and earn a livin'
Then she saw her dream house on a Facebook ad
For a small investment with a real estate man
Left her job at corporate last winter
To move south who knew it was in her
Cash the 401 K ‘cause she's got a plan
Gonna find her dream in the Promised Land
Pre-Chorus:
In the land of good n plenty
She/He can have it all if you got the money
With a line of credit and three hundred grand
She/He can buy her/his dream
Hook:
In the Promised Land - land
In the Promised Land - land
In the Promised Land
Verse 2:
First one in his family in college
He made 'em pound he had the knowledge
Got a great invention grabbed the golden ring
Found a few investors for riches profits bring
Had it all the big house and Beemer
The market crashed and things got leaner
Hijack product now a knock-off China brand
When he sold his dream in the Promised Land
Pre-hook:
In the land of milk and honey
You can have it all if you got the money
Takes a million to kick-start a business plan
And you can lose your dream
Hook:
Bridge:
Can't escape the state religion
Goes by the name consumerism
You can even buy the preach'en
Making this decree
Purchase now pays it later
Win your field of dreams
Pre-Chorus:
In the land of sacred money
You can screw / rule everyone
If you got plenty
With a few billion dollars at your command
You can call the shots
Hook:
Verse 3
Nine to five turned twenty-four seven
To make ends meet and earn a livin'
Gaz-n at the stars
And try to understand
I’ll never give up dreamin' –
In the Promised Land

Title: Dulcimer Twins
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien & Michael Ronstadt
Chorus:
Dulcimer twins shinning pearls
Sparkling there so brightly
Notes blending free sea of curls
Dulcimer twins sing lightly
Lightly – lightly
Midwatch near the rising
Past darkness glare
Sweetest sounds emerging
Become aware
It flowed so naturally
Star light observed
Haunting longings go by
Cycle preserved
From under dim street lamps
Shadows converge
Dark footsteps in dampness
Body submerge
Branches dance savagely
Constantly blurred
Movement unbearable
My feet still stirred
Chorus:
Dulcimer twins shinning pearls
Sparkling there so brightly
Notes blending free sea of curls
Dulcimer twins sing lightly
Lightly – lightly
Bridge:
Soon as the hammer starts
All spirits on earth depart
Gift open space
Unheard motion
Chorus:
Dulcimer twins shinning pearls
Sparkling there so brightly
Notes blending free sea of curls
Dulcimer twins play lightly
Dulcimer twins shinning pearls
Sparkling there so brightly
Notes blending free sea of curls
Dulcimer twins sing lightly
Lightly – lightly
