My Hometown
South of the mountains, east of the Bay
Little city, big town, call it what you may
Drive through the valley, it’s a marvelous sight
Moonlight in the vineyard on a warm summer night
We’re rodeo rowdy and wine country proud
This is my hometown
This is my hometown
I’m Livermore high, now you’re Livermore low
The city is changing, and you say you’ve got to go.
I think I’d really miss you so I guess I’ll stick around
Playing my music here in my hometown
Music in the vineyards and out in the square
Blues to mariachi they got everything there
Winemakers, ranchers, playing in the bands
Townspeople, country folks, all give us a hand
A scientist dancing with a rodeo clown
This is my hometown
This is my hometown
I’m Livermore high, I’m Livermore low
Sometimes I get to longing for the open road
But I never get far before I turn it around
Flying down the Altamont to my hometown
South of the mountains, east of the Bay
Little city, big town, call it what you may
Drive through the valley, it’s a marvelous sight
Moonlight in the vineyard on a warm summer night
We’re rodeo rowdy and wine country proud
This is my hometown. This is my hometown
We’re rodeo rowdy and wine country proud
This is my hometown
This is my hometown

Donut Wheel
There's a hole in my heart and my heart is buzzin
Lovin thoughts of you come to me by the dozen
You are what I long to see
It's 3am and there's nowhere I'd rather be
Donut Wheel
Donut Wheel
You make me wanna sing
Donut Wheel
Donut Wheel
You are the donut king
You've got donut holes and apple fritters
You make other donut shops feel real bitter
And you're open 24 hours every day
And your donuts are the best in every way
You used to let us bring our own filling
Now just the thought of that is chilling
Something about that just don't seem quite right
I used to cruise by you every Friday
Get an assortment I'd chose my way
And I'd be in donut heaven for the night
Donut Wheel
You make me wanna sing
Donut Wheel
Donut Wheel
You are the donut king
You've got donut holes and apple fritters
You make other donut shops feel real bitter
And you're open 24 hours every day
And your donuts are the best in every way
I think of you at First and L
Without your donuts I'm in hell
And your gougie architecture has so much appeal
Established 1958
God knows how many donuts I ate
Through the years as I'd visit Donut Wheel
Donut Wheel
You make me wanna sing
Donut Wheel
Donut Wheel
You are the donut king
You've got donut holes and apple fritters
You make other donut shops feel real bitter
And you're open 24 hours every day
And your donuts are the best in every way
At night when the bars close down
And there’s no other place to go
My Donut Wheel’s the only game in town
How I’d love a box of your sugary deep-fried dough
Oh Donut Wheel how I love you so
Donut Wheel
You make me wanna sing
Donut Wheel
Donut Wheel
You are the donut king
You've got donut holes and apple fritters
You make other donut shops feel real bitter
And you're open 24 hours every day
And your donuts are the best in every way

Seven Sisters

Seven stars are shining down
On seven hills outside of town
Young ones ride them up and down
Drive the Seven Sisters
50 years of fun and chills
Family and Sunday thrills
Up and down those crazy hills
They drive the Seven Sisters
Seven Sisters roll
Just outside of town
Old jalopies
Bouncin up and down
Seven Sisters
Shine through the night
Shining down
What a beautiful sight
By bicycle foot or horse
Should we do it yes of course
Scream until we all got hoarse
Drive the Seven Sisters
Then it was April 62
Sunday night not much to do
Out to Greenville with the crew
To ride the Seven Sisters
Drivers came from out of town
Who was that let's turn around
Up to the hilltop then go down
But they were coming much too fast
Down the hill then came the crash
Soon the hilltops were erased
Gone away without a trace
Echoes of this happy place
Echoes of the Seven Sisters
Seven Sisters roll
Just outside of town
Old jalopies
Bouncing up and down
Seven Sisters
Shine through the night
Shining down
What a beautiful sight
Shining down
What a beautiful sight
Shining down
What a beautiful sight

If or When

The memory haunts my dreams
Nearly every day
We were just looking for an answer
Looking for a place to stay
Close my eyes and I hear coughing
She’s sinking in the metal bed
I see her sad pale face
She tells me she’d be better off dead
Got to leave her in this place
Fresh air and lots of space
As her hand drifts away from mine
We say goodbye one last time
Don’t know if I’ll see her again
If …..or when
Doctor said she’ll be coming home
To live
But I really don’t know
If or when
Croquet and tennis matches
Not for her she’s too far gone
Staring out her grimy window
She can see them on the lawn
We don’t know how it happened
How she got this strange disease
Will she come to San Francisco
Someone tell me please
Got to leave her in this place
Fresh air and lots of space
As her hand drifts away from mine
We say goodbye one last time
Don’t know if I’ll see her again
If …..or when
Doctor said she’ll be coming home
To live
But I really don’t know
If or when
Now it’s only rust and memories
Echoes of a distant past
She never left that place
It was the sickness that would last
Now I walk through rolling hills
I see the buildings breaking down
Reminders of a way of life
Just a few miles south of town
Got to leave her in this place
Fresh air and lots of space
As her hand drifts away from mine
We say goodbye one last time
Don’t know if I’ll see her again
If …..or when
Doctor said she’ll be coming home
To live
But I really don’t know
If or when
Doctor said she’ll be coming home
To live
But I really don’t know
If or when
If or when
If or when

The bus just blew a tire out on the highway
One lonely pickup truck is headed my way
Can you get me back to Livermore before the sun comes up
I’ll give you my signed autograph if you’ll let me on your truck
I’ve still got time to make things right my baby’s had enough
can you get me back to Livermore before the sun comes up
The band’s on the road and my baby’s back home
Working every day but then spends her nights at the bar with friends
When I want to know why she says, honey I’ve got better things to do
than sit home waiting
than sit home waiting
for you
Can you get me back to Livermore before the sun comes up
I’ll give you my signed autograph if you’ll let me on your truck
I’ve still got time to make things right my baby’s had enough
can you get me back to Livermore before the sun comes up
The driver puts me out near the town of Modesto
Send a text to my lady oh damn I’m gonna be a little late again
Please try to stay strong wish you wouldn’t do me wrong
Cause life on the road is hell
Cause life on the road is hell
She texts LOL
Can you get me back to Livermore before the sun comes up
I’ll give you my signed autograph if you’ll let me on your truck
I’ve still got time to make things right my baby’s had enough
Can you get me back to Livermore before the sun comes up
Finally hitch another ride now we’re making good time so I text
Would you please tell me what to make of your Facebook feed
While I pine away for you do you play me for a fool
I’m not one to stray, you know …
She writes LMAO LMAO
Can you get me back to Livermore before the sun comes up
Can you get me back to Livermore before the sun comes up
I’ll give you my signed autograph if you’ll let me on your truck
I’ve still got time to make things right my baby’s had enough
Can you get me back to Livermore before the sun comes up
Before the sun comes up
Before the sun comes up
