Holding On 05:25
oil tank is half empty in the throws of the winter i set on my back porch and wonder if i'll have enough wood probably should but i have to burn the bark those ashes leave a mess but frozen pipes and cold kids would be worse i guess is this the way it goes, Love is not how i supposed i'll work for the hope that comes from holding on Squirrels gather acorns that old oak has so many you cant even walk barefoot outside my christmas tree is laying in the side yard decaying it'll stay there till my truck gets fixed or till i find the time what about that old tree it'll probably out live me is this the way it goes, Love is not how i supposed i'll work for the hope that comes from holding on Balloons fill my living room they've been there since the New Year i spend some time kicking them around they flout up and down don't touch the ground I'm thankful for my patience but my kids are sick drink this glass of water son this wont hurt a bit is this the way it goes, Love is not how i supposed i'll work for the hope that comes from holding on

i put blankets on the walls something to help with the noise i took the time and vacuumed my room soon you'll be over and play some tunes I bought an extra pack of strings i'm always breaking those things extension cords and red balloons soon you'll be over to play some tunes sounds pretty good in here everybody brought their own beer good times i can understand i always wanted to be in a band practice is over and we laughed alot beer was cold and the licks were hot i set by myself in my room set by myself and play some tunes set by myself and play some tunes

this is a story about a boy who is eager to please he fixed himself until you agreed some people would say he could sell magic beans you'd soon find out they were just collard greens sometimes you gotta let go other times you don't even know sometimes you've got to hold on sometime you can be honest and still be wrong

I'm dedicated,dignified, i've failed miserably ...Lord knows i've tried. i'm distracted , i'm full of fears, i'll win your love...if it takes years i have no clue whats some sort of worthy end i'd rather just set around my house and have drinks with my friends i'm up to date... i like to contemplate...

her name was mystical,magical, something out of a book but i never could tell.... Back then i knew her well. When the Air conditioner wasn't working well we would spray ourselves off with a hose back then i knew her well its been a long time gone back then i knew her well

The beating of your heart might be something that happens to you or perhaps its nothing more than something that you do? a hot pang! a Cold sting! experience it takes many forms because a sunny day... can so easily... become a thunderstorm. cross your fingers spit in your hat love has a way to work out like that this is all that ive got to give i'm not afraid to love you... if your not afraid to live.
8.
That's the thing when your moving on you don't miss anybody until they're gone i know that sounds cliche and it never looks pretty but the drunker i get the less likely i'll see a future life that could have been you and me. and i'm gonna stay that way until i forget that its my own fault that i just cant commit to something so big and so long... i'm going i'm going i'm gone.

How high will this kite fly? to the end of the string how to say goodbye? Don't say a thing. walk away a shadow is all you'll see be don't be sad when you remember me

Lotto Ticket 02:54

when i lay down upon my memory...

about

"Same Biscuit Different Gravy" is an album of tales of Hope and change. We somehow mention Balloons in two different songs?! i have no idea why.
The bands at its best Live so the lions share of this record is live.
So many special guests made this album so much fun to make. From Bruce Johnson to Bill Howard, Ashley Hunter making a special return, and of course my entire family singing and playing on the song Pumpkin Pie.
We've been playing Holding on and Play some tunes for two years in practice so it was time to go record those songs for real.
Dave Abbott has not one but two Bass solos on this album...nails em both.
Doug pitts also proves once again why i think he is a rock God.
First Album to have Christian Perritt singing backup vocals on tracks Misunderstood and Honest and Wrong
The last Track is my personal favorite written by my brother Dr.How himself.
This is us,always searching for another Reason to live!
Thanks for listening and i hope you enjoy.
-Chris Howdyshell
