Reason 05:22
Reason I’m pealing pages and your trying to stop the clock Wilma’s in a rage The Hill’s crew want to rock Moan’s late on rising Said he caught his heel on Jack Billy’s in our prayers And we hope he’s coming back Stevie’s down on Latah He loves the Satellite Fly’s in a stew Rosie’s hot tonight When they ask you, what you gonna say Will you be strong enough, will I hear you say That’s the reason Annie’s got a heathen Willy’s got a Ruth We all got our reasons but sissy’s got a few Carey’s got the fever he’s living in Brazil He helps unbelievers; he’s in the codicil Gator’s got the pawnshop He’s selling blues to-go Timmy’s got a flat-top and Midnight’s on the road Everybody’s got a reason Same as you and me Takes you where you want to go Takes you to your knees When they ask you, what you gonna say Will you be strong enough, will I hear you say That’s the reason That’s the reason One world one sun Are you gonna say © 2012 Nordstrom (BMI)

Remission 05:27
Remission I’m in remission from my condition All my pain is dissipating and I feel I have grown As for you symptoms just leave me alone I’m in remission I still harbor suspicions Cause I know you lie in wait deep in my bones So don’t try and trick me Just leave me alone So I say to this world I love the most Raise your glasses for a toast Here’s to deliverance and sweet remission I’m on a mission with your permission Cause I know I’ve got to tend all these seeds I have sown I’ve passed the audition now I’m going home So I say to this world I love the most Raise your glasses for a toast Here’s to salvation and here’s to redemption I’m going fishing with cool remission I love my remission I’m on a mission In my bones in my bones is true remission I’ve been delivered from my condition With true remission So I say so I say with cool remission © 2008 Lillemon (BMI)

Bye, Bye Lover I shot my lover down My baby, my darlin’, my sweetheart down I shot my lover down I put a bullet through her brain I got sick of her playin’ games, Callin’ me names, - And never takin’ the blame, Now,she’s dead but it ain’t no shame She was no good so she had to pay Oh bye, bye lover An apology just wasn’t enough Oh bye, bye lover There’s a hole in your head I made damn sure you were dead I shot my lover down My honey, my sweetie, my soulmate down I shot my lover down I put a bullet through her brain I got sick of her sittin’ around, Never helpin’ me out, And always messin’ about, Now she’s dead, there ain’t no doubt She was worthless so I blew her away I dug a hole where her lifeless body would go In the exact same spot where I proposed I threw her way down deep along with my ring Well so long you dead beat, revenge sure is sweet Oh bye bye lover © 2000 Lillemon (BMI)

Eden 05:10
Eden Come closer; don’t be afraid Put your trust in me, cause I can show you things The world is waiting; and it’s all in my control And if you’ll let me show you It’s yours to have and hold Run quickly; don’t listen to his lies He’s the great deceiver, best you run and hide Cause when you taste it, things will never be the same You’ll be free to wander; I’ll love you just the same Lullaby, then I tell you why, then you own it First you sing then your mine Everything you need…could it be you don’t want it © 2012 Nordstrom (BMI)

Coming Down 05:10
Coming Down Wide open space calling me World spinning under my feet Faith trembles - What is this plan? Game’s over - still hiding my hand Wash away my sins I’m Coming Down Lead me to my fate I’m coming ‘round Things happen - no turning back My choices - no knife in my back Black hole where my heart should be Why worry - this isn’t me Wash away my sins I’m Coming Down Lead me to my fate I’m coming ‘round Love rescue me Coming Down Love blossoms - My roots grow deep Hope crumbles - vines choking me Gather my thoughts - Try making sense Lost balance riding this fence Wash away my sins I’m Coming Down Lead me to my fate I’m coming ‘round Break these chains I’ll leave it all behind Stage this play the final act is mine Love rescue me Coming Down © 1997 Lillemon (BMI)

Shovel 03:22
Shovel Well they say that there comes a time for leaving Yes I heard but I never thought I’d see you today You and me I’ll agree we got a good thing But I just can’t believe these things that I hear you say I can’t take it this way Shovel start diggin’ Start diggin’ Shovel start diggin’ I’m tired of living this lonely life of mine Now I see you had me for just a play thing Well I must have been just a day to day thing to you But it’s real what I’m feeling for you baby But you say ain’t no way not even maybe I lose What’s the use I was alone when we used to be together Tell all of my dreams goodbye Now I’m alone and there’s no sense of doing it I can’t take it can’t take it © 1970 Rieser/Struzick (BMI)

Nicotine 03:29
Nicotine Nicotine ... nicotine Sweet tobacco, if you know what I mean Gimme a light, I'm a smokin' machine Free my soul, I'm a slave to that nicotine Nicotine for breakfast, on the way to work Smoke my lunch, chew my dessert Coffin nails, carcinogen Feed my cancer with a Turkish blend Ashes to ashes, butt to butt Can I bum a smoke? I'm a nicotine slut And if you don't have a smoke and if you don't have a chew I'll eat the beer soaked butt from the bottom of your shoe Nicotine ... nicotine Sweet tobacco, It's a deadly routine Please, forgive me if my habit's obscene Free my soul, I'm a slave to that nicotine I don't know why I want it ... I want it I don't know why I need it ... I need it You won't know why you want it ... you want it You won't know why you crave it... After a meal, after sex I like to chew while I'm sleepin' but the drool makes a mess Carbon monoxide, formaldehyde 'Scuse me while I step outside Rotten teeth, zombie breath Skin tinged yellow like the face of death I tried the patch with the gum and a pinch of snuff Up my nose, in my lip, I wanna shoot the stuff @ 2000 Rick Lillemon (BMI)

Roadsong 03:03
Roadsong (Dum dum dumba-dum dum dum) I called to let you know That I’d be troubled if you were to come back It’s such a slap in the face To hear ‘em talkin’ bout the changes I’ve made I guess there’s no more to say You took the bait and took the weight off my back See the man on the wire It’s just my neighbor but I don’t know his name He’s got a crack in the pot It started rainin’ And it’s not gonna stop It’s such a sad affair He saw it commin’ but he wasn’t prepared © 2012 Nordstrom (BMI)

Stella’s Garden Take me down to Stella’s Garden Where everything smells so sweet Meet me down at Stella’s Garden Fall in love with everyone you meet Roll in the lavender beds And vanilla brown truffles Citrus and cinnamon Raspberry ruffles Breathe through your skin Take it all in I’ll twist some lime in your coconut Drink in the essence Scatter your troubles like Ashes of incense Soak up the rain Be born again (chorus) We’ll fall asleep beneath rainbows of Soft summer showers Dream in a bed of Calendula flowers Sail on the breeze Capture some z’s We’ll wake to peppermint tingles and Fresh eucalyptus Sip lemon-drop dew from Your skin so delicious Au natural Throw in the towel © Lillemon (BMI)

They Start Out Small Even strong men tremble at the end of a gun Does a bad man wonder ‘bout the things that he’s done Will they look back on tomorrow………. just the same as today Or does it make them feel hollow I’ve seen the preacher wrestle with the power in his hand And the rich man humbled…… by what the poor man said And while the monies pile up ……….…the glass is runnin’ out of sand He’s still got time for your confession. You make the demons tremble with the songs that you sing Yea you tried to kill ‘em but they came back again Dead presidents……… Decorate the face of your king You keep your enemies close at hand and some fool on a chain I compromise but I’m never in love I keep my heart on a string … there’s just never enough I love the ocean breeze but I can hardly swim I’d brave a hurricane to be your anything I see the little babies sleeping and I’m hoping for the same But there’s a thought I’m keeping.. and it’s running round in my brain Some people…………………... never get a break it seems…. And some are just plane lucky Everybody’s got it easy except my friends and me Everybody’s got a dream or at least that what you say Some are living theirs’ Most of us are living day to day You say the grass is greener well the Jones’ ain’t your friend It seems the road that I’m travelin’ has come to an end Though it was easy to follow….. I wouldn’t recommend Yeah a change is gonna come………….. With a smile on my face Yeah a change is gonna come…. I compromise but I’m never in love I keep my heart on a string … there’s just never enough I love the ocean breeze but I can hardly swim I’d brave a hurricane to be your anything When a killer cries for mercy Do you want to go insane Or maybe shoot the lawyers cause they’re guilty just the same You can always hear them coming…… Are you hearing what they say They start out small but they keep coming just the same

about

A combined project long overdue. We had a great time putting these songs together. Some have been around for a while. Some are newly inspired. Hence the name "Junk Drawer".
