becoolcowboy Dan is always crafting imaginative songs with story-like lyrics. The songs are vivid and inspirational; they make me want to drop whatever I'm doing and make some music! Favorite track: Man Without Past.

Man without past seeks woman without past How’d you get so far without finding who you are? I want to close the past like a suture and jump into the future Yeah, I know, time won’t let me go Just turns like a kaleidoscope She picked up erasers and clapped them with a cloud of chalk that made you cough and cough as you walked on down the block He stole your skateboard, said you liked gay porn You went to your room, the tears jerked with scorn A few more years to become like Don Juan, bro or Marilyn Monroe Just punch your idols, T-K-O, hike up your pants and go!

It took guts, what you did No one noticed it It took guts, what you did No one noticed it From the top of your head, out through your lips What no one expected, from a quiet kid You smashed the past You opened up and broke the system You called its bluff Said enough’s enough But no one listens to a pacifist in a world that shakes an iron fist So thanks for telling me cuz I’m clueless, baby

Last Time 02:35
You declined to come with me When I invited you up the street and then you dissed me and I never got an apology You never break your pattern Do I even matter? It’s the last time I come back here You’re on the couch drinking beer Movies on TV Make me feel empty I’m going to a party I’m going lonely I’m going to a party I’m going for me You declined to read my book when I said hey man, take a look and then you acted like if I’m not dead then I have a big head The same pattern every day You always have your way It’s the last time I come back here You’re on the couch drinking beer Movies on TV Make me feel empty I’m going to a party I’m going lonely I’m going to a party I’m going for me

Moving 02:56
If you wanna get far How will you get back? With no car? You better take your backpack If you don’t like who you are How will moving change that? All the pennies in your jar Are you own guilt tax and I know you and I don’t think you’ll need that And who put the guilt there? And who pulled up the quilt there? The one who called your name from the bottom of the stairs And what will erase all the pain from your face?

Woman and man Hand in hand Slacks and gown Smile and frown Always around Soft as down Soft as down You make me break Give and take and do what we must till we fall to dust Planes and boats Wild oats Long winters Loaded words Hot interns Swaying ferns Swaying ferns You make me break Give and take and do what we must till we fall to dust

Do you ever feel like a tree? Were you watered Dr. Pepper haphazardly Growing wider by the ring Do you ever feel like a tree Grew through the barb wire fence That divides the yanks and the feds If you grew green limbs would they clip your new additions Nipped in the bud Never knew you could Do you ever feel like a tree? Growing wider by the ring? Were you watered Dr. Pepper haphazardly when someone dropped a drink while empty When you happened to be very thirsty Grew through the barb wire fence That divides the yanks and the feds If you grew green limbs would they clip your new additions Nipped in the bud Never knew you could Left out back drying out You grew strong They’re the ones dying now And you’ve grown on
