Glenn Frey 1948 - 2016

I’d rather be remembered as something else 

Than not remembered at all


I don’t know where I’m going, but I do know where I’ve been

I’ve created a ruckus, and I’ve wallowed in sin

When that train whistle blows, and I’m heading south

I’ll be sure and give one last shout


Me and Glenn Frey will ride those rails

We’ll take it easy, take it easy

Don’t let the sound of those steel wheels 

Drive you crazy, just take it easy

Oh, lighten up while you still can

Don’t even try to understand

Just take it easy, take it easy

King Bear

Some people say he’s only a stuffed gorilla

But, you know, I say he sleeps on his own pillow


Bear, Bear, he‘s sassy like a King

Bear, Bear, he should have his own ring


King Bear 

Born in a K-mart with an empty heart

Now, he sleeps with me, now, warming our hearts

King Bear


Thanks for singing along, Bear!

I Can't Sleep

Lyin’ here and staring at ceiling

Composing poems in my head

Waiting for a sleepy feeling

My plan, stay in bed, stay in bed 


No, I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep

Another night of counting sheep

I’m so tired 


A night of battles, who has won?

As I wait for the sunrise

A war rages, it’s never done

Night after night, something dies


No, I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep

Another night of counting sheep

I’m so tired


The next day is almost deadly 

With eyes that are so, so heavy

I’m so tired

Gimme Three Steps, Ryan

think ’leh-nerd skin nerd’   


I was making time, doing just fine

With that sweet Emily


Well, in burst Ryan Cross, showing who’s boss

Pointing his gun at me

Wait a minute, Ryan, we just playin’

Please, please no trouble here

I cried above the din, we are kin

But I was shakin’ with fear


Gimme three steps

Gimme three steps, Ryan

Gimme three steps toward the door

Gimme three steps

Gimme three steps, Ryan

And you’ll never see me no more


Well, Emily jumped Ryan from behind

And that’s the break I was looking for

Coulda heard me a-screamin’ a mile away

As I was runnin’ out from the door!!
