The Emperor's Clothes
Jeff Roberts Copyright 2017
i just heard the news did you hear it?
right from the horses mouth can you feel it?
all the things that are happening here in this town
it's enough to bring a good man down
but I'm hanging around
to see the last of the clan defeated
step right up get in line enjoy the show
you've never seen anything as fine as the emperor's clothes
take a look outside you're a lucky man
you know you're never gonna buy more time
with the best of plans it's falling sand
start picking your head up when you get up in the morning sun
start living with a litmus mind just get behind the man with the gun
wait now the story's changing minute by minute
we were just joking well you just don't get it
do I have to remind every south bound horse has a northern side
I'm back here with the kitchen help
'cause they're keeping a taste right there on the shelf
we won't live to regret it cause we won't let it take away our soul & pride
and I'd say the chances of a lightning strike are getting pretty high
what will you do when we find out the truth
and decide to make a lasting example of you?

Living in the Trees
Jeff Roberts – Copyright© 2011
you’re coming out anyway but don’t try to find me
in any of the usual places but in all of them
outside of the physical we are free to belong
to everything that we’ve ever loved in the evening light
I’m living in the trees and there’s just no way I can tell you
how good it feels to be in the sunlight
my life was a hard road
but every step I had to take was on the way home
same old song another woman come and gone
every one of them still a part of me
you could never be sure if I was lost or you were
I look at the typical life like a prison cell
brother you will never know until love brings you back again
what you gave to me means everything
these things falling through your hands
never last for anyone
life is a sacrifice and we’re fine now

I Will Be Redeemed
Copyright 2017 Jeff Roberts
there's a tree in Georgia
that never should have grown
it held the bodies upright
they were tied with rope
I will be redeemed I will sing and shout
and I will be restored
just not now
May Marie was twenty four
heavy with a child
when her head had fallen down
they cut the baby out
forty legs that walked away
forty eyes that saw
twenty souls that never said a word
to the Georgia law
nineteen ninety seven
fifty years had gone
someone came to find the place
and mark the dead with stones

What You Do Copyright © 2013 Jeff Roberts
it's all clear to me now
this is what you do
when you're standing on the side of the road with nothing
waiting for the rain to fall
she said I want you tonight
and that was all
it's all clear to me now
coming through like a lightning flash
someone must have told you by now
there's only so much luck to go around
took a look outside your own mind
everyone is dreaming of another town
I had a vision silent as snowfall
suddenly she was standing there
just like I'd dreamed
it's so clear to me now
every brow has the mark of Cain
out there on the pavements now
there are monsters in the light of day
don't let it change your mind
they will fade away
