Something New
- © 2021 Jim Hewitt / Revolution Network Publishing (BMI) -
May 3, 2021
Monday morning
Can’t wake up
It's nothing new
Just my makeup
Procrastinating
Waiting for a mood
Set a timer
Grab a guitar
Play some chords
Hum a few bars
Procrastinating
Or creating something new
It’s alright
Can’t hit the target every time
Procrastinating
Or creating something new

Bridges That I’ve Burned
Got to work at 5 am
With a heavy truck full of rpm
Aimed it down that long old road
I Aim to deliver this full load
Lighting the way down the highway
With the bridges that I’ve burned
Lighting the way as I move away
With the bridges that I’ve burned
The rich are getting richer
And they're hardly working harder
They're just digging deeper in the pockets
Of you and me and our sons and daughters
Lighting the way down the highway
With the bridges that I’ve burned
Lighting the way as I move away
With the bridges that I’ve burned
Fear is the only thing that gets smaller as you
Run right into its face
And you know that you start to feel taller
As you stand your hallowed ground and you put it in its place
Lighting the way down the highway
With the bridges that I’ve burned
Lighting the way as I move away
With the bridges that I’ve burned

Can’t Happen Again

[VERSE]
He’s been staying late at work
Night after night
And you know, it’s just not right
He’s been talking in hushed tones
On the phone
And you know, it’s just not right
[CHORUS]
I look into your eyes and
I see that you've been cryin'
I know that it's him
It can't happen again
You look into his eyes and
You see that he’s been lyin'
You promised yourself
It can't happen again
[VERSE]
He’s been taking trips alone
Time after time
And you know, it’s just not right
He’s been buying all new clothes
But not for you
And you know, it’s just not right
[CHORUS]
I look into your eyes and
I see that you've been cryin'
I know that it's him
It can't happen again
You look into his eyes and
You see that he’s been lyin'
You promised yourself
It can't happen again

Monday Blues
Feels like Monday
Unlike any other day
I spent the weekend
Staying out too late
I spent the morning
Trying to get my butt out of bed
Until 2:30
When the fog cleared from my head
I got the Monday blues
I got the Monday blues
Feels like Monday
Oh, but it's Tuesday now
Not a fun day
I'm sure I'll get through it somehow
These are long days
Can't wait for Friday to come
It takes 5 days
And the weekends begun
I got the Monday blues
I got the Monday blues
Feels like Monday
Can’t shake these blues away
Not a fun day
Trying hard to stay awake
These are long days
Is it Friday yet
It takes 5 days
Will I Make it you can place your bets

House of Pain
[Verse]
It's been three long years since we broke up
And I still feel like I can’t wake up
From this bad dream, you’re still in
I have to admit you still get under my skin
[Chorus]
All I'm feeling is just drained
I can't get you out -out of my brain
But the skies keep cryin’ all this rain
And I'm stuck here in this house of pain
[Verse]
You're remarried and you brag
But the dude looks like a douchebag
I can't stop thinking of you with him
Oh how I wish you had a kinder twin
[Chorus]
All I'm feeling is just drained
Can't get you out - out my brain
The skies keep cryin’ all this rain
And I'm stuck here in this house of pain
[Bridge]
Easy come, easy go
Where it goes, no one knows
It gets lost in the breeze
But I can’t seem to shake the disease

Downer
Sometimes I feel so heavy sometimes I feel so crushed but you'll never ever know it 'cuz I keep it hushed
Sometimes I feel so dark sometimes I can't find the light these are the days I don't even try 'cuz I can't put up the fight
It's a downer it's a drag I'm a downer I'm a drag
Some days I might lose a day sometimes I might lose a week I don't even know the triggers or the answers I should seek
It's a Downer
Some days I move so slowly some days I can't move at all some days I stare at the ceiling some days I stare at the wall
It's a downer it's a drag I'm a downer I'm a drag

Ghost in / Ghost out
I don't want to be here I don't want to stay
I don't want to listen and I don't want to play
Got no time for small talk hey how was your day
Blah blah blah blah blah blah I'll just walk away
No. It’s not you
It's me
There’s nothing wrong with you
There’s something wrong with me
Ghost in don't be seen
Ghost out don't make a scene
Ghost in do your thing
Ghost out leave the scene
Came to your town hung out on your beach
Went to your restaurant had a bite to eat
Didn't take a picture didn't make a fuss
Didn't take much time had just enough
No. It’s not you
It's me
There’s nothing wrong with you
There’s something wrong with me
Ghost in don't be seen
Ghost out don't make a scene
Ghost in do your thing
Ghost out leave the scene

Together Alone
Who has the answers to the secrets that exist
Can't get the answers if we don't know what to ask
And I don’t know
Don’t know
No, I don’t know
Don’t know
Who knows the meaning that can satisfy our minds
Can’t understand it no we cannot by design
We’re on a highway
We all travel the same road
We're on an island
And we're each on our own
We’re together Alone
We're all companions as we travel space and time
Think we know the reason and we think we know the rhyme
But who understands a single simple little kiss
All the subtleties that we’re sure bound to miss
We’re together Alone
We’ll find a reason that satisfies our soul
We’ll find meaning in every sign on the road
We’ll find belief in every word that we're told
Or we're sold

Yell For Help
When we met you looked so fine in the night light
I could not believe my eyes You made me lose my mind
As time went on the story goes things began to change
It's not what I thought it was It began to get strange
I thought you were heaven sent
With your heavenly scent
Something changed and you got hell-bent
And now I yell for help
You say that your mind is made up you know what to do
You think that you're gonna trade up baby but I've got some news for you
You say everything is possible that much is true
But many things are improbable in the land of me and you
I thought you were heaven sent
With your heavenly scent
Something changed and you got hell-bent
And now I yell for help

Bones aching' Body's breaking
I’ve been breaking my back all-day
That’s how I earn my pay
Been doing it all my life
For my family for my kids and wife
I take that shovel and I dig it in
I’ve got calluses on my skin
Don’t complain just keep on
Cuz the work here is never done
Bones aching'
Body's breaking
If I ever see that shovel again
I'll dig a deep damn hole and I'll throw it in
With you and all your kin
I moved a pile of stone today
Cuz that’s what man had to say
I’ll move’em back again
That’s what it takes to make a livin’
I put my time in and I punch out
Go home and I grill out
Leave behind the muck and mire
Damn glad to retire

Small Town
There you are
So close but so far
We were once a thing
It’s sad I know
The word I’m told is
You’ve gone another way
It's a small town
Baby baby baby
Take a look around
What goes around
Gets around
Feeling low
Dealt a blow
Stinging from the pain
I had to move on
Stop holding on
I have so much to gain
It's a small town
Baby baby baby
Take a look around
What goes around
Gets around
Your daddy’s gone
It’s all gone wrong
And now you want me back
That’s too bad
You’ve made your bed
And I don’t have to have your back - anymore
It's a small town
Baby baby baby
Take a look around
What goes around
Gets around

Bomb Tick
Well
You’ve got my heart beating heavy
When
I look in your eyes
And
I might overdose
When
You come so close
And if you do it again there might be a sin
If you let me in there might be a sin
There’s
A bomb tick in my chest
And
It’s about to explode
Don’t Know
If I can hold it together
Understand me
It’s a heavy load
There's a bomb tick in my heart that's caused by you
You make the bomb tick tock no way to defuse
Now
The Fuse is ignited
And
It’s just a matter of time
There's a bomb tick in my heart that's caused by you
You make the bomb tick tock no way to defuse

Summer
I can’t wait for summer to come
In the pool with the radio on
Our favorite songs
All summer long
I love to wake up on those sunny days
There’s no school getting in our way
And the girls look good
Oh they look so fine
All-day long
Out in the sun
Without a care
My friends are there
We’ll have ice cream
It’s like a dream
It’s so perfect it’s summer
I think we’re gonna have to start a band
We’ll use the deck and we’ll have a jam
We’ll play Cheap Trick
Wings, Sparks and Aerosmith
We’ll ride our dirt bikes in the woods
Our tanks are full so we’ll be good
We’ll pop some wheelies
And ride through the creek
All-day long
Out in the sun
Without a care
My friends are there
We’ll have ice cream
It’s like a dream
It’s so perfect it’s summer

Hospital Room Condo
Last night I had this dream.
I was walking to my apartment. I was already inside the main building of the complex walking to my door when I suddenly realized my apartment was actually in a hospital and my room was a hospital room.
I wasn't sick. I wasn't ill. I wasn't in treatment. There was nothing wrong with me. I felt fine. It just happened to be that this apartment was a hospital room.
My room was located off of a nook that didn't have much traffic. As I got nearer to my door I realized there were patients having a series of treatments right in front of my door so I couldn't get it. I waited patiently for them all to finish until I could get into my room.
Once I got in I tried to close the door but it would not close. The latch would not connect. So I tried to raise the door with my foot, jiggling the door, doing whatever it took to get the thing to latch. You know, like a public restroom with a messed-up door all out of alignment.
I moved it around until the little divot on the door lined up and I could slide it in. When I did that I noticed there was a gap of about 2 feet where the door was still open to the outside world. I was very annoyed by this.
Inside my hospital room apartment was a small living area and all of my musical instruments were there. I kept thinking how am I going to get enough privacy to work on music or take a nap or do whatever you do when you’re home.
Later I decided I needed to go out and do some errands so I got in my car and started to drive. For some reason, I was thinking I was in California but then I had an aerial view of myself driving. It seemed more like upstate New York in the fall.
As I was driving I noticed I was physically uncomfortable. Not quite sure why. I think my clothes were all crooked or too tight or something. I don’t know. Anyway, I needed to find a place to pull over and just straighten it all up to make myself more comfortable.
There really wasn't any place to pull over but I noticed a restaurant coming up on the left. I pulled into the parking lot. It was gravel and had a lot of potholes and the potholes were all filled with water. Apparently, it had just rained pretty hard. The lot was completely full. I was driving around slowly trying to find someplace to park to make my adjustments.
There was a person walking through the parking lot at the same time. I was driving very very slowly. This person was walking too close to me when I hit one of these water-filled potholes. Even though I was going incredibly slow, for some reason, probably because it was a weird dream, the person got completely drenched.
I parked and I went inside and the place was jam-packed. The person from the parking lot also came inside and apparently was going to let me know what was on their mind.
I felt threatened. I now realized it was a woman. She was slowly but intently following me everywhere. Keeping me in her gaze. I noticed that she kept getting closer. Slowly. Inch by inch. Creepy. No, really creepy.
At some point, she put down a large suitcase and then she appeared right in front of my face. She never said a word but I was terrified. I said, “what is in that bag you left there?” She didn't answer.
I was not only terrified but now getting very concerned. I started to yell something like this person is a terrorist. That bag is full of chemical agents. I was terrified. I was yelling. People were looking at us and all starting to freak out. There was a lot of commotion. I was terrified. Terrified.
I just wanted to be back in my hospital room condo with its limited privacy and be left alone.
And then I woke up.

Beautiful
I can’t believe my eyes
With every sunrise
Make my way through the day
With you by my side
You’re so beautiful
I can’t believe my eyes
You’re so beautiful
Every day is such a surprise
Everything is better
When you’re here with me
When everything seems right
It’s you who holds the key
I wouldn’t know what to do
If not for you
No real reason to even try
I wouldn’t have a clue
You’re so beautiful
I can’t believe my eyes
You’re so beautiful
Every day is such a surprise
What would I do - Without you
