That's what he said You can call me names but if you steal a dollar you're dead. Rum runners, bootleggers and diamond thieves

  I shouldn't be waiting for words describing love I'll never know                                                                   If I feel better or worse I don't want the world to know                                                                           If  I'm in love or I'm sad or feel incredibly glad  I'll sing about nothing at all                                                    A Song About Nothing  At All  Those who came before me wrote nice words with sweet melod...

I'm goin' back to the city to the city where I was born  Where my mama was born  I need me some noise I thrive on pollution  The sound of the siren keeps me in tune  The stars in the sky are low resolution  Gonna claim what I lost I don’t care what it cost  I'm goin' back to the city to the city that I love  To the city where my mama was born Words and Music by Ray Galindo 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFZg2bElMWY

It's Okay...It's Okay It's Okay...you are sleeping peacefully now It's Okay  You're with Jesus and Grandma now It's Okay  You're more beautiful than you ever were before  Than you ever were before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4aUBXtMt9U

I wondered how you were today as I do everyday The block just isn't quite the same since you went away. Every now and then you'd stop by just to say hello. The day seemed a little friendlier, and then you'd go away. Sometimes I'd walk through the park and see you there alone  Singing songs to no one... If only they had known  How much you meant to many people, they would have stopped to hear. My friend friend to many there couldn't be any nicer friend than you. My friend,  My friend  Kenny, there couldn't be any nicer friend than you. Our friend came by the shop today as he does everyday. "The fight to save our friend was lost" is what he had to say. It's still not real cause in my mind you just won't go away. My friend friend to many there couldn't be any nicer friend than you. My friend,  My friend  Kenny, there couldn't be any nicer friend than you. We were at the club tonight just staring at the stage. It was like an empty mirror......

Everywhere I turn town to town I look around...It Makes Me Wonder People tryin' to find themselves they look around...It Makes Me Wonder I believe in miracles look at me and you...Does it make you wonder Water turning into wine seems minor...It Makes Me Wonder...Oh Yeah Christmas people shopping running bills so high...It Makes Me Wonder Good Friday on the thirteenth what does it mean...It Makes Me Wonder I bend my knees and I look to the sky Always I am asking why oh why I see the flowers oh I feel the breeze Looking at the sky through a child’s eyes Everywhere I turn town to town I look around...It Makes Me Wonder People tryin' to find themselves they look around...It Makes Me Wonder Everywhere I turn town to town I look around...It Makes Me Wonder People just tryin' to find themselves they look around...It Makes Me Wonder

I was too young to understand ...I was too young to know I was just a little boy and they wouldn't let me go  I had plastic rifles, helmets and battleships  I wanted to be a Viet Man and go to Vietnam I played soldier with my friends pulled the trigger Bang Bang you're dead  It was a friendly little game and no blood was ever shed  I watched John Wayne movies, Hogan's Heroes and the Rat Patrol  I wanted to be a Viet Man...but they wouldn't let me go Now there are other little boys who want to fight in a war  They want to go to Ireland and El Salvador  They have plastic rifles, helmets and battleships They watch John Wayne movies, Hogan's Heroes and the Rat Patrol  They want to grow up to be Viet Man...but we won't let them go They watch all the newsreels and they wish that they could be there  They want to grow up and be Viet Man  Viet Man  Viet Man I don't wanna be no  Viet Man Viet Man  Viet Man I don't wanna be no ...

Sometimes I wonder if you love me out of need or loneliness                                                                    Do you just need a friend or am I really the right man                                                                          Sometimes you cry and I don't know why...Is it me                                                                                    Fly to the top of the world with me   ...

What happened to that postcard you sent me                                                                                                 Only a postmark and a picture to tell me it came from you          A sower of seed by a flowing river We were like the water flowing Through rough rapids and over tumultuous falls Oh where has the river taken you  Dancing Daughter of the water Once my heart's delight
