and . for the rest, it means more to me than anything that these songs to you have meant . love always, lawton (jonah) ok this is the thing i do, everybody has their own "thing" you know, i've got some friends for example some like to scribble in journals or make collages, i know some people who play basketball, some people who decorate aquariums, who babysit, its not really a matter of honor or payment or amusement or even plain killing time its just singing the true song of your soul. i'm eighteen years old, i'm slightly nearsighted, i like to wear stripes, i hate the way certain words sound and i would like to sing for you, if you like these, feel free to burn them to cds for your own private pleasure or order official copies ($1 each) from . four sample songs four more sample songs good friday's label. order cds for $1 each here.

Lyrics
boys, drive south down i45 and if, by chance, she's still alive you'll see the town where i once grew but i wouldn't go back if you paid me to old cold springs, she'll show her age and blow her winds across my face those gusty blows follow after me those poison winds won't let me be i never knew a friend in that old town only the faceless eyes that stared me down my neighbors, they had the morals of snakes and for the city hall, i've even less to say we settled down right outside the city line promised they'd take our land in time but the neighborhood quietly rotted away cold springs stood to lose, they never did pay old cold springs, she'll show her age and blow her winds across my face those gusty blows follow after me those poison winds won't let me be the local school was less than a slum so they stuck me in the catholic one the privileged kids laughed at my name and every afternoon i walked home in shame ma and pa i'm inclined to leave i said to them as i packed my things but they never did let me turn my back "you ain't goin' nowhere" and that was that old cold springs, she'll show her age and blow her winds across my face those gusty blows follow after me those poison winds won't let me be so here i am all laid to waste but i still thirst for freedom's taste now if by chance you ever do come just hurry on back to where you started from
