Selected Work

        by Randy Granger











        This Old Man


        This old man I know
        Leans to the left
        Walks with a cane he made
        From an old Willow
        And this old man I know
        Lives with his dogs
        Says his life is complete
        Yeah he makes everything grow


        And this old man says
        Things are usually what they seem
        The only time you're truly free
        Is when you dream

        Secret Souvenirs


        His packrat ways sure fit this place
        Where years in corners hide
        The wind is screaming through the screens
        Feels like Dust Devils here inside
        It's strange the things you think you know
        About people you hold dear
        It's the drawers and doors that tell the truth
        The soul's secret souvenirs


        Fly on Home


        What Are You Gonna Do
        They've got your brother,
        Tied like Jesus
        To a fence outside of town
        The cold stars looked down
        And he closed his eyes
        They said, fly, fly, fly
        Brother fly on home

        What are you gonna do
        They've got your brother
        Chained to a pickup truck
        Like a horse-train from hell
        And he tries to yell
        Don't do this thing
        The night bird sings
        She sings, fly, fly, fly
        Brother fly on home
