My Cadillac Don't Run No More

words and music Greg Spence Wolf My Cadillac, don't run no more, It sits in pieces outside my door Its rear end is all smashed in And my Cadillac don't run no more. Some son of a gun, pulled a hit and run He probably had no insurance And now my rear end Is all smashed in And my Cadillac don't run no more I always park defensively So that nobody will hit me I was certain I would not get hit that day, It did not work out that way. My Cadillac don't run no more It sits in pieces outside my door It's rear end is all smashed in And my Cadillac don't run no more. Now that old car, just good for parts To see it there just breaks my heart It's transmission won't even start Now I got a Redneck Yard. My Cadillac don't run no more It sits in pieces outside my door It's rear end is all smashed in And my Cadillac don't run no more. Upbeat gospel singing/ bluegrass picking style GGGG GGGG (My Cadillac don't run no more) CCCC GGGG (It sits in pieces outside my door) GGGG Em Em Em Em (It's rear end is all smashed in) GGDD GGGG (And my Cadillac don't run no more)

Down at the Farmer's Market

Down at the Farmer's Market they play those great old songs, Bring your fiddle, rosin your bow and you can play along, The kids are dancing while the parents are shopping, The band is jamming and the quarters are dropping, Down at the Farmer's Market they sell organic produce, Frsh baked bread, so much for you to choose from, Hand made crafts right off the rack, Sold by the people who produce them, Down at the farmer's Market they play those great old songs, And if you know the words then you can sing along, The kids are dancing while the parents are shopping, The band is jamming and the quarters are dropping, I once bought a back pack from a farmers' market vendor, It lasted seven years, for me that's a record, Hand made crafts are made to last, And when you buy them from the maker, they are cheaper, Down at the farmer's market they play those great old tunes, And I'm sure if you made a request, they'd play one for you, The kids are dancing while the parents areshopping, The band is jamming and the quarters are dropping.

The Kids by Greg Spence Wolf Because they're kids we won't let them down Because they need us we'll keep them safe and sound We'll be there for them for as long as we're around From early in the morning to late at night There's so many details that you got to get right Including getting them to the bus on time And waving at them as the bus rolls out of sight Bye for now.... You take them back and forth to school Teach them all the golden rules Give them the best advice we have On making friends and doing math. Hoping they'll eat the food off their plates, Hoping we'll find food they don't hate That's what we do as Moms and Dads, We take them to the park So that they can play and run around Make new friends Take in natures sights and sounds On vacations and on weekends, Work and fun & care never ends Going to the trails and playgrounds. Going to the kids myuseum downtown, Hide and go seek when we are at the house Decoding instructions to Legos and models Making mistakes along the way Hearing yourself in the things they say. Finding time to build and play I raised kids for 5 &1/2 years Held their hands, dried their tears, Listened to their dreams and fears Told them that they mattered and were dear I'm proud of how I spent my time those years I can't see my kids And it don't feel right I toss and I turn and I worry if they're alright I hope they're always treated right by everyone. © Greg Spence Wolf ___/\___!!=+=!!___/\___

We Are All Super Shining Stars

I am alive aware awake, I learn a little every day, I'm mindful of each move I make, As I make my way through each day. I recover from my mistakes, As I improve along the way. I understand what is at stake, I'm going to go all the way. We are all super shining stars Whose light can be seen from afar. That's why I see your shining stars Everywhere from near and far. I am a man who understands That there is not a master plan I make it up along the way And this is what I have to say I believe in the real world I believe in the human race I believe that the universe Is a strange and wonderous place That's why I see your shining stars Everywhere from near and far Because we all are shining stars Whose light can be seen from afar. You are a super shining star Whose light can be seen from afar Your light shines down on everyone Your light shines brightly like the sun Don't ever doubt that you could be A beacon of society Because you are a shining star Whose light can be seen from afar. Because we all are shining statrs Whose light can be seen from afar We all see super shining starts No matter who or where we are. We see each other with our eyes We hear each other with our ears We feel each other in our hearts When were together or apart We hold each other in our arms We stand up for each other's rights. We do the things that must be done Because we all see good in someone. Because we all see shining stars, No matter who or where we are. We are all super shining stars, No matter who or where we are. © Greg Spence Wolf 2021 /+=+\ Republicans will throw you under the bus They'll supress the vote if they don't get it from us They'll rationalize anything their candidate does BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US That's why they'll throw you under the bus +!!+ #$# -=+=- \/ +!!+ #$# -=+=- All wars are crazy Few are necessary None are good.

EMOTIONS

THE TOFU SERANADE

Maybe now you could never conceive, That there'd ever be a food that would go with everything, I know that you would never believe, That there'd ever be a food, that could taste like anything... But just open your mind, and take a bite, Then you might find, out that you like... Tofu, so good for me, Tofu, so good to eat, Tofu, better than meat, Everything I eat goes better with Tofu. No other food has quite the consistency of Tofu, so good for you, Tofu, does a body good, Tofu, America's health kick. No other food has quite the versatility of tofu, No, No, No, I've just got to face the facts, I'm hopelessly addicted to tofu. I buy tofu, at the coop, the health food coop Every night I think of something new, that I can do, with tofu. Stir fry, marinate, tofu yong or eat it straight. Tofu fills me up with protein, higher than the RDA, hey, hey, hey. Tofu fills me up with acetylcholine, deep inside of my blood stream. And it's just like a dream, when I eat tofu, everynight. I don't know if it's real food; but I know that I like, every bite of... Tofu, so good for me, Tofu, so good for you, Tofu, real food for real people. Some day, tofu, the food that you abhor, Will be the only food you're craving for. Some day, you're gonna be, cooking with me, tofu, tofu, tofu. You're gonna be, eating with me, tofu, tofu, tofu. Come on by anytime, cuz I wanna have some tofu with you baby. By Greg Spence Wolf, Michael Aquaila Horrigan, Bert Gildersleve and Michael Cook.

I Ride My Bicycle

Round and round the town we go on our bicycles, Round and round our pedals go, moving fast, moving slow, Up and down the hills we go, huffing, puffing as we go, Riding to the greatest places you could want to go. I ride my bicycle to work every day, And I take my bicycle, home every night, Dealing with cars, who get in my way, and, Dealing with potholes left and right. And, when I ride, my bicycle at night. I use a handle bar head light. So I can see where I'm going. I ride my bicycle to the grocery store, And I take my bicycle, when I run my chores, Dealing with drivers who yell, get out of the way, Because they think I ride my bike real slow. I try to ride, my bicycle really safe because, I don't think that roads are safe for race. I watch out for cars, cuz cars are dangerous, I watch out for trucks, cuz trucks endanger us, I keep my eyes upon the road. Round and Round the country we go, on our bicycles, Round and round our wheels go, clicking, ticking as they go, Up and down the hills we go, building muscles as we go, Riding to the greatest places you could want to go.

I’m a righteous Dumpster Diver Dude I get all of my apparel From the bottom of a barrel All my favorite music Someone else refused it My letterhead has many styles Because it comes from the circular file I go to campus every spring To look for all of the good things That people throw away Because you go away.

You Put A Spell On Me

You put a spell on me, and now I'm yours, You put a spell on me, and there's no cure, I can't think about anyone else, Every one I see I just gotta tell, about you There¹s nothing I can do, since, You put a spell on me, That needs no cure, Because that spell that you cast, It doesn't hurt. I sing about you in all of my rhymes, Because you make me feel so fine, I'm thinking about you all of the time, Oh baby I wish that you were mine, since, You put a spell on me, That doesn't hurt, I suppose that it, Could have been worse. I used to think that it was just infatuation, Until I took a good look into my situation, And when I got a glimpse into my hearts motivations, I realized that I was in for the duration. Because you put a spell on me, But it could have been worse, Because that spell that you cast, It ain't no curse. I realize that I am responsible, For the way that I feel, That I must stay in control, And learn to deal. With the fact that you took me in your arms and held me tight. WIth the fact that you graced me with your charms the other night. Ever since you placed that kiss upon my cheek. It is you that I miss and romance that I seek. It didn't do me no harm so I can¹t call it a crime. But when you look me in the eyes no you can not deny, that, You put a spell on me, That ain't no curse. And since you cast that spell, I am yours. © Greg Spence Wolf You Put A Spell on Me On Mandolin.

I Am Not In Love With Amy Anymore

No I am not in love with Amy, anymore. Soon a new love will come a knocking at my door. No I'm not dreaming about Amy anymore. Soon a new love will come and make my dreams come true for sure. I stopped sitting up all night, wondering what to do. A wishing and a hoping desperately for you. The old familiar places don't remind me of you. No longer do they make me feel blue. No I am not in love with Amy, anymore. Soon a new love will come a knocking at my door. No I'm not dreaming about Amy anymore. Soon a new love will come and make my dreams come true for sure. Let me tell you now, Being in love, it's okay. But don't let no one tell you that it's all that great. It gives you hope and builds you up. Then it let's you down and sets you straight. No I am not in love with Amy, anymore. Soon a new love will come a knocking at my door. No I'm not dreaming about Amy anymore. Soon a new love will come and make my dreams come true for sure. I stopped beating myself and putting myself down. No longer looking up at the pedestal I tried to put you on. I'm not putting you above anybody else. I ain't worshipping the ground that you walk upon. No I am not in love with Amy, anymore. Soon a new love will come a knocking at my door. No I'm not dreaming about Amy anymore. Soon a new love will come and make my dreams come true for sure. Maybe I'll still dance with her if she says please. But you won't see me pulling her close to me. I'm sure that I'll still notice her when I'm walking down the street. But unlike before my heart won't skip a beat. No I am not in love with Amy, anymore. Soon a new love will come a knocking at my door. No I'm not dreaming about Amy anymore. Soon a new love will come and make my dreams come true for sure. _|1|!T!||\t+t/\=!T!|1|__ --.--\/=-=-=.=-=-=.=-=-= I want to write a song that will make you want to dance I want to write a song that will put you in a trance I want to play a song that will get you on your feet, Because it's got a rockin beat, I want to play a song that will make you want to swing, That will make you feel like you can do anything, I don't want to sing a song about my lost baby, Don't want to sing about some desperate love that may be someday, I don't want to sing a song about a love gone wrong, No I want to sing a happy song, I want to sing a song that will make you want to dance, And I hope that the dancing lasts all night long, I confess sometimes I find joy in a sad song, Knowing that somme other fool had a love that's gone wrong, not just me, But I want this song to be an inspiration, For you to cast aside your fears and join the celebration, Why don't you take a chance and ask someone to dance, Maybe they'll dance all night long, There's so much beauty inside of you, And when you smile it shines right through, When I see you out there on the dance floor, It makes me want to join you maybe even put down my guitar, But I'll be happy if you're just dancing to my songs, I'll be happy singing all night long. copywrite Greg Spence Wolf

AT FIRST

At first you might think that she cast a magic spell on you, Until you realize that she never meant for you to fall, It hurts when you realize that she is not in love with you, You must understand you're responsible for how you feel. You're the one who must determine, How you're going to show your love, You're the one who must figure out, How you're going to share your touch, She's the one who will decide to, Accept or reject your loving, She's the one who will decide to, Accept or reject your kissing and hugging. Don't fear, it is okay to rise above the convention, You're smart, you'll be able to create your own invention, I trust what you do comes from your very best intentions, Listen to your heart it will lead you in the right diction. You're the one who must determine, How you're going to show your love, You're the one who must figure out, How you're going to share your touch, She's the one who will decide to, Accept or reject your loving, You must accept her decision, Without anger, without judgement. Smile, laugh, relax, pay attention to the way she feels, It helps if you're listening to the things she's saying, Don't act like you're desperate to get all her attention, True love is a commitment built over a real long time. You must put your best foot forward, And you must make your best effort, And remember to be yourself, And to not act like a phony. At last you might live happily ever after with her, Or at last you might find out that things, Don't work out as you planned, But, at least you made your best effort, And you put your best foot forward, Hopefully you learned some lessons, That will help you carry onward. © Greg Spence Wolf ___\'_'/___ ///.-_._.-_/\/+T=T=T=T=T=T+\/\_-._._-.\\\ ___\:_:/___ https://gregspencewolf.com/track/443703/flags-fly-while-people-die o(#*#*#*#*#[i_/^!#!/\+/\=!!#|^\_i]#*#*#*#*#)o

Good Night Alex

Good night Alex I hope that you sleep tight I hope that everything Works out alright Goodnight Alex I hope your dreams come true And I hope that your nightmares Don't freighten you. The stars in the sky Are twinkling so bright And the moon way up high Is reflecting so much light Off the sun which is on the other side Of this Earth which is taking us for a long long ride. © Greg Spence Wolf Good Night Alex

Flags Fly While People Die

Flags Fly While People Die Guns don't die people die Guns shoot while people cry Bombs don't cry , people cry Bombs fall while people hide But there is no place to hide There are no good or bad guys It is wrong to take a life They drop the bombs on the innocent victims In order to destroy a nations infrastructure In order to destroy their electricity and running water It's a slaughter. &c Greg Spence Wolf

I Wish

I wish the conversation never ended, Because there's so much more about it that I would like to know, I hope that I can see you again, Maybe there's some place that we both like to go, Sometimes when we talk I catch a glimpse into your eyes, And always when ou smile I feel so good inside, I never know if I should try, To tell you how I feel or just keep it all inside, I know that now we have just met, And that I should not expect that we'll be more than friends, But I hope that we can be such good friends, You never know, I've never felt the need to defend my heart from you, And if I ever hurt you I promise to amend the wounds, I hope that you don't feel intimidated by me, I hope that we can be together comfortably, I know that now we are only friends, And that I should not pretend that there is something more, But I am so glad that we're such good friends, That's for sure, I always want to be myself to you, I do not want to pretend, My love's not something that I can sell, Even as I try so hard not to offend you, I know that now we are only friends, And that I should not expect that there'd be something more, But maybe someday we'll be more than friends, In a loving relationship, You never know.
