Revelation
03:55

|
I found a new religion
Fell in with bad company
Can’t you see this desperation
Washing over me?
I’m in need of salvation
The waters getting high
You see I got this crazy notion
Life's been passing me by
(Chorus):
Wont you tell me what am I supposed to do?
I’m sick and tired
My body’s black and blue
I keep on keeping on
I’ve been on the gallows for so long
Just waiting here…I’m always waiting here
Now I’m in the furnace.
And its getting hot.
You left me here to suffer
But its what I’ve got.
Oh wont’ you tell me something
Where do we go from here?
I’m in the belly of the beast
Working through my doubt and fear won’t you tell me
(Chorus):
it must be judgement day
and my saviors lost
with all the deeds Ive done
how will I pay the cost
I found a new religion
Oh but I was to late
Now its getting dark so dark.
I’ve laid my soul to waste.
This is a revelation
Aint no aggravation
Come on and give me something.

Me & Murphy
03:26
|

|
Let me tell you about Murphy
He aint no friend of mine.
Every time you turn around
Murphy gonna rob you blind.
You don’t know this Murphy
Boy let me tell you so.
If you’re praying for sunshine
Murphy gonna send you snow.
Walking down the street one day
I got good things on my mind.
Murphy came round the corner
Hit me from behind.
He tripped me up and made me late
Went and took my job away.
Oh mean mister Murphy
Boy I’m gonna make you pay.
(Chorus):
Me and Murphy
Aint gonna get along
Mr. Murphy
Helped me write this song
Me and Murphy
Aint gonna Get along
Mr. Murphy
Ya know he done me wrong
Driving down the road and I’m
Heading to propose
Murphy took out both my tires
Left me stranded all alone
A cop comes by to ask me.
Boy is everything ok?
Next thing I know
I’m in jail
Murphy laughing all the way.
(Chorus):
Me and Murphy
Aint gonna get along
Mr. Murphy
Helped me write this song
Me and Murphy
Aint gonna Get along
Mr. Murphy
Ya know he done me wrong

A Good Day to Die
06:04
|
|||
|
I already knew
What you would have said
Got so much ahead of you.
I think I’ll throw it away instead
There you sit up on your hill
Tell me have you got your fill?
Now you’ve gotten what was sold
Tell me did you save your soul?
I don’t understand
Why you went away
Asked you to wait
Lord I begged you to stay.
Now I stare at the sky
And I wonder why
You never said goodbye
Don’t you think it’s a good day to die?
Now you lay underground.
You were lost have you been found
Its such a lonely day
You can’t take much more away
All alone up on you hill
Watching over all that’s still
Is it time for me to go?
Might be time but I don’t know
(Bridge):
Take a look around
At all you could have done
You threw that away
When you cut and run
Maybe you were afraid
When you made her cry
What made that day
A good day to die

Save Your Soul
05:12
|
|||
|
So you think that you want to play
All the games that you used to play
There you sit with your head in the sand
Run from things that you don’t understand
Who will save your soul
She’s everything that you want her to be
Still you feel like nothings free
The world is changing day by day
What else is there left for me to say
But who will save your soul
Don’t you know
Who will save your soul
Please don’t throw it away
Please quit running away
You go to work from nine to five
Do what you can just to make it home alive
Shes always there for you when you get home
Why would you ever want to come home alone.
But who will save your soul
Don’t you know she will save your soul
Please quit running away
Please don’t throw It away.
Can’t you see
This aint no fantasy
Don’t you know
How to save your soul
Close your eyes
So you can visualize
Do you know
How to save your soul

Livin' Fast
05:52
|

|
I went down to the river
To see what I could find
I went down to the river
Looking for piece of mind
I went down to the river
To see what I could see
It doesn’t matter what you find
As long as you still breathe
(Chours):
I don’t spend my life looking over my shoulder
Living fast with no sense of time
Come on baby lets make it fast
Cause this life aint gonna last
I don’t have time to worry
I got more things to see
I don’t have time to worry
About where I’m gonna be
I don’t have time to worry
I don’t have time to waste
I just want to get where I’m going next
Before I loose my taste
(Chorus):
(Repeat first verse)
(Double chorus out)

Rain or Shine
03:49
|

|
I know you're scared
Feel like giving up
And the world wants to bring you down
I know your mad
I Know your fed up
But I’ll bring you sunshine when you frown.
So baby sitting all alone out there
Wondering why life
Doesn’t seem so fair
And baby I know how you feel right now.
And I know that
We can make it through some how.
(Chorus):
And baby we’re all set for a good day
Its you and me on a Saturday
With nothing but time
And baby
We’ll be happy together
Its you and me forever
In all kinds of weather
Come rain or shine
(Bridge):
I know you think there’s nothing left to say.
When the sun won’t shine
And the sky is grey
Maybe now is the time to say
That I love you
Baby I love you.
I know your tired.
I know your fed up
And the world wants to bring you down
Baby don’t worry
Cause I’ll stand beside you
And give you sunshine when you frown.
(repeat chorus)

Glory Days
05:06
|
|||
|
I remember we were seventeen
The year you tried to be a beauty queen
Sitting here in the campfires glow
Tell me where did my glory days go?
Looking back now those days are passed
Don’t I know it good things never last.
Its been so long tell me where you been
Look what we made outta all of that sin
(Chorus):
Won’t you be my baby tonight
You won’t get pushed around again
Don’t you know I won’t put up a fight
Can you see me now?
Tell me every thing will be alright
Wont you be my baby?
You hear my songs on the radio
We went so fast but you took it so slow
Tell me when did you finally see
All those things that just couldn’t be
Looking back now its in the past
I spent to much of it living fast
Tell me where do I go from here
Now you’ve grown outta all of those tears
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge):
I remember that night when you told me to go away
Would you tell me now?
That time when I begged you to stay
You told me not to shout
Now here I am alone again
And I’m wondering how
We could make it true again
If you only showed me how.
Glory days oh its been so long
Do you remember us singing that song?
In the stands as we watched them play
You turned to me and I heard you say
I wanna be a beauty queen
I only hoped you’d let me be your king
Now I sit as I wait for the show
Tell me where did my glory days go?

Take a ride on the mystery train
She’ll take you places that you’ve never been
Get on board baby grab a seat
You’ll never guess just who you’ll meet

Take your time what will be will be
No need to worry everything is free
(Chorus):
Come on baby won’t you come along
It seems so long since I’ve been gone
Can’t you feel her take you away
All aboard for the mystery train

Oh baby tell me how does it feel when

I love the way your looking at me
Staring with those bedroom eyes.
Oh baby it feels so good
Listening to those bedroom sighs.

When you whisper in my ears baby I just gotta believe
Oh come on now
And you know that I like it
Oh babe I feel this way
Come on and take my hand

Lonely People
08:26
|
|||
|
She’s all alone
In a hotel room
Waiting for someone
To call her soon.
The phone won’t ring
To soothe her pain.
While she stares outside.
At the pouring rain.
He sits alone,
At the hotel bar
Wondering how
It could’ve come this far
He takes a drink.
Waiting for the end.
Was it real?
Or was it all pretend.
Whats gonna happen? Baby I don’t know.
On a lonesome highway
Nowhere to go
Sad songs playing
On the radio
He sits in his car
At the side of the road
Wondering how.
He ever got so old.
She sleeps alone
In the hotel bed.
Dreaming things
Better left unsaid.
Two lonely people
Neither one would bend
Two lonely lovers
Wishing for a friend.
Whats going to happen. Baby I don’t know.
(Chorus):
Two lonely people
Sitting in the dark
Ole number seven
Soothes a broken heart.
Two lonely people
Neither one could see
How to set things right.
Should have let it be.
The night is clear
He can see the stars
Maybe he will heal
But still feel the scars
The time is right
He can win or lose
Stay or go.
Whats he gonna choose?
She’s still alone
Waiting for that call
Will she jump?
Maybe she will fall.
Two lonely people
Neither one would bend.
Two lonely lovers
Waiting for the end.
Whats going to happen?
Baby I don’t know.

Parchman Farm Salt Lake City, Utah
Parchman Farm is a Blues Rock band based in Salt Lake City, UT. We first began writing together in February of 2010 not really knowing what to expect, but confident that the four of us would work very well together and form a very tight family unit. Though our influences are rooted heavily in the Blues we like to give our music a definite rock edge or what we like to call Blues with Attitude! ... more
