Blue Tongue Blues
(Written by Erica Graf & Evan Whetter)
I'm a blue tongue lizard layin' on a country road
I'm a blue tongue lizard layin' on a country road
Gonna cross this sucker, got so far to go
Gonna lay right down gone git myself some sun
Gonna lay right down gone git myself some sun
If I see you comin watch this lizard run
I'm a blue tongue lizard laying' on that old highway
I'm a blue tongue lizard laying' on that old highway
When I'm all warmed up I'll be on my way

House Of Trouble
(Written by Evan Whetter)
I've got a houseful of trouble, and a roomful of discontent
I've got a houseful of trouble, and a roomful of discontent
I've got a mortgage on the blues, I can't even pay my house rent
Got me thinkin' evil, this bad ol' blues o'mine
Got me thinkin' evil, this bad ol' blues o'mine
Started out as American Honey, wound up turpentine
Take me to the crossroads, show me which way to go
Take me to the crossroads, show me which way to go
With the deals that you been doin, surely you must know.

Black Hill
(Written by Erica Graf & Evan Whetter)
Here come's the train it's gonna take me far away
Here come's the train that took my father off of me
Here come's the train watch it comin' down the track
Here come's the train that's gonna someday bring me back
When I was a young boy I grew up on the plain
In the shadow of the Black Hill through drought and driving rain
Dady died too early, my mother took the load
Kept two kids off of the street the pain she never showed
Here come's the train it's gonna take me far away
Here come's the train that took my father off of me
Here come's the train watch it comin' down the track
Here come's the train that's gonna someday bring me back
When I was a young man 'bout the age of 21
Grandpa caught me in the back yard buryin' a gun
When he saw me shook his head and said "Don't say it son!"
I know you must have shot a man, I know what you have done
Here come's the train it's gonna take me far away
Here come's the train that took my father off of me
Here come's the train watch it comin' down the track
Here come's the train that's gonna someday bring me back
Watching out the open door I see the world go by
Freight train's rockin' rhythm beats a steady lullaby
This train is bound for freedom but a part of me will lie
Beneath the shadow of the Black Hill, my mother broke and cried
Here come's the train it's gonna take me far away
Here come's the train that took my father off of me
Here come's the train watch it comin' down the track
Here come's the train that's gonna someday bring me back

Slow Down Mumma
(Written by Evan Whetter)
Slow down mumma, the bridge ahead is out
I said slow down mumma, lord the bridge ahead is out
If you don't slow down we'll be dead without a doubt
Slow down mumma, the bridge ahead is down.
I said slow down mumma, lord the bridge ahead is down
If you don't slow down, we'll all be bound to drown

Let Me Down Easy
(Written by Erica Graf & Evan Whetter)
Let me down easy babe
Won't you let me down slow
Won't you let me down easy babe
Let me down slow
Just give me some of that good home cooking
One time before I go
Let me down easy babe
Won't you let me down nice
Won't you let me down easy babe
Let me down nice
You know love ain't been no stranger
Been let down once or twice
Let me down easy babe
Won't you let me down slow
Won't you let me down easy babe
Let me down slow
Just give me some of that good home loving
One time before I go

Voodoo Blues
(Written by Erica Graf & Evan Whetter)
Way out on Mud Island, Memphis, Tennessee
A little old man was on his front porch, banjo on his knee
I must have looked quite lost as I walked up to him that day
When I asked him for directions, only thing he'd say
It doesn't matter where you turn go any way you choose
You can't outrun or ever lose those Voodoo Blues
I made my way from Tennessee due south to Baton Rouge
I wasn't there so long I met a nice young lady whose
Brother recommended we take a scenic cruise
When I asked him where he said pack your dancing shoes
It doesn't matter where you turn go any way you choose
You can't outrun or ever lose those Voodoo Blues
Way out on the bayou where the alligators doze
How long they have been there nobody really knows
I met a strange old woman with a bone right through her nose
The way she laughed, it chilled my blood. I tried to flee but froze
It doesn't matter where you turn go any way you choose
You can't outrun or ever lose those Voodoo Blues

Down Home
(Written by Evan Whetter)
I got nobody to blame, I put myself out in the rain
Sweet, sweet water, gonna wash away the pain.
I'm gonna try, try again even if I wind up back the same
I'll keep on walking on my own 'til I find my way down home
