Somebody Told Me (B. Kramer)
Somebody told me a better change is gonna come 2X
Hope It get here real soon, before my time is done
I turn my TV on and I can’t stand what I see 2X
What’s this world gonna come to, what’s gonna become of poor me
Cant go to no doctor, cant afford no fee 2X
Should I fill my prescription, or get something to eat
The man in the big house you know he promised to set things straight 2X
Now he’s on his way out, maybe the next will make things great
Somebody told me a better change is gonna come 2X
Hope it get here real soon, before my time is done

The Provider (B. Kramer)
I am a father, I am a son
I am a witness through the barrel of a gun
I am a boy within the man
It weren’t easy did the best I can
I am a husband, a brother too
I always tried to do right by you
I am the lover between the lines
It weren’t easy to ease my mind
I am the provider, keep you secure
Got to padlock and dead-bolt my door
I am the key, danglin’ on your chain
It weren’t easy to ease my pain
I am a prisoner, I am the guard
I am inside your wall, outside your yard
I am free from misery
It weren’t easy to leave her be

Don’t Want This Madness (B. Kramer)
I don’t want to hurt you
Don’t want to make you cry
I just don’t understand why this feeling
Keeps rising up from deep inside
But I try and I try and still it just won’t abide
I don’t want this madness to break up our happy home
Don’t want to make excuses
No I take responsibility
But this angry, angry feeling
Has got a strong hold on me
But I try and I try and still it just won’t abide
I don’t want this madness to break up our happy home
Who can I talk to
To help me release this pain
So I can finally put it to an end
Keep it from coming back again and again
But I try and I try and still it just won’t abide
I don’t want this madness to break up our happy home
My daddy had it, his daddy had it too
Past down from generation to generation
I’ve got to be the one to break on through
But I try and I try and still it just won’t abide
I don’t want this madness to break up our happy home

What Lies Between

What Lies Between (B. Kramer)
There's a virtue that lies between innocence and ignorance
At any moment it can sway either way
The intention to be pure can never be so sure
when opportunity and ingenuity begin to play.
There's a virtue that lies between heaven and hell
Both of those worlds are contained in the very same frame
You can never be so sure if that intention can be pure
when the demons and the angels begin to play.
What lies between a whimper and a whisper
What lies between the silence and a sigh
What lies between the rock and the river
What lies between the wind and the sky
The only thing that lies between you and me
Is a world in your hands that you can't reach
There's a virtue that lies between fearfulness and freedom
Something that can never be denied or taken away
The intention to be strong will never steer you wrong
When hope and a grateful heart begin to play

Delta Journey (B. Kramer)
Found myself in the Delta, shack along highway 49 -2X
You know the wind was so cold and the rain stung my mind
New York to Jackson is a long long way from home -2X
I tell you Brooklyn to Stockholm, you may call that gone
I met a man in the Delta calls himself Cadillac John -2X
We played two trains runnin', he said come on son
Near Morgan City, by the Zion church is hallowed ground -2X
Right there by the highway side, they laid his body down
Found myself in the Delta, shack along highway 49 -2X
You know the wind was so cold and the rain stung my mind

Last One I’ll Ever Need (B. Kramer)
Early this morning I rolled out of my bed
I’ve been longing, can’t get you out of my head
I just want to hold you wrap you in my arms
Just want to squeeze you, make you squeal and moan
You make me feel so good, when I feel so bad
You’re the best thing that I ever had
I’ve been wondering, if this is right or wrong
What I’ve been hiding, I’ve been feeling all along
I can’t stand to be without you, I want you day and night
Just want to tease you, you make me feel alright
You make me feel so good, when I feel so bad
You’re the best thing that I ever had
I got a new guitar
I got a new guitar
I got a new guitar
And it’s the last one I’ll ever need
You got the look, you know you got that feel
When I plug in baby, it gets so unreal
Now you know there’ve been others, so many I’ve lost count
Now you’re my one and only
This I have no doubt
You make me feel so good, when I feel so bad
You’re the best thing that I ever had
I got a new guitar
I got a new guitar
I got a new guitar
And it’s the last one I’ll ever need

Right To Sing The Blues (B. Kramer)
It's more than skin deep, comes from the eternal soul
I had em’ when I was very young, I'll still have em’ when I'm too old
Cut me and my blood runs red, ain’t nothing you can choose
I may be white, I have the right to sing these blues
I was drawn to Muddy Waters, when I was just a child
Lightnin Hopkins shook my hand, as he flashed me his gold tooth'd smile
Junior Wells told me make it my own, when life was “Win or Lose”
I may be white, I have the right to sing these blues
It's neither black nor white and it should be color blind
The only limitation is the one within your own mind
Just follow that blue line, it leads strait on home to you
I may be white, I have the right to sing these blues
What's the color of my skin got to do with the depths of my soul
Or the place where I was born by how far I can go
Buddy Guy looked me in the eye, you know he told me this was true
I can bend those strings and wail like a true blue Jew
I may be white, I have the right to sing these blues
I mean no disrespect I know from where it all came
I intend to keep it flowin' on, long as I carry this blue flame
Listen with your whole, whole heart, try to walk a mile in my shoes
I may be white, I have the right to sing these blues

Lost And Found (B. Kramer)
Lost and found, lost and found
I hope I find what I left behind in the lost and found
Been lookin' all over, searchin' high and low
It slipped through my fingers, it vanished I don't know
Wish I could call that number, wish I could find that place
It’s just around the bend or way out in space (chorus)
Been siftin’ through the scraps, elbow deep in scarves and caps
Dirty gloves and cheap sunglasses, separated from the masses
A corner bar up on the shelf, suspect it may be somewhere else
I think I have to face this thing I must replace (chorus)
Should have done a dummy check, what's a dummy to expect
Now you see it now you don't, do I need it anymore
It’s out of sight out of mind, I think I must be goin’ blind
What I lost I’ll ever find in the lost and found (chorus)

Lockdown Quarantine (B. Kramer)
Yesterday’s coffee in the microwave
Don’t really care if I need a shave
Got nothin’ to earn, got nothin’ saved
What’s a reputation on a road unpaved
Lock down the theaters lock down the bars
Lock down the airplanes lock down the stars
Lock down the stocks lock down the schools
We get our information from these educated fools
Clear out the cabinets wipe out the shelves
Last roll of toilet paper it’s every man for themselves
Too late for prevention can’t afford the cure
just stay inside and lock all your doors
Lock down quarantine stark realization
Don’t come any closer (there) ain’t no immunization
Snooze you lose sneeze I die
Your money’s worth nothin’ when it’s time to say goodbye
Runnin’ out of provisions and the rent’s overdue
I’m on the social network, can’t get close to you
I’m feeling isolated I’m feeling kind of lost
I got to get out but I don’t know the cost
Scrub your hands mask your face
Try to disinfect the whole human race
Don’t stand too close don’t push me off
my mama always said cover up your mouth when you cough
Be in the moment
Be in the now
Be the solution together we must vow
Be the light, shine so bright
From shore to shore
Be the change that nobody can ignore…
Anymore
