In this modern day and age
Of almost anything goes
Everybody wants to haggle
Everybody’s short of dough
I’ve got one rule that’s golden
One rule through thin and thick
Cash only is legal tender
No Cash you’re up the creek.

I did two tours over in the sand
Never took the life of another man
“Non-combat” was my official role
But the heat and sun they took their toll
And blood I saw, but not my own
I wake in the night to a soldier’s groan
It’s hell to live in... – by John Leinberger | 3 Views added 5 months ago

The band is playing on a Friday night and
Johnny’s drinking his Captain and Coke
Is being here wrong or right?
I smell like whiskey and cigarette smoke
I know better and so do you but sometimes we throw caution to the wind

Jupiter’s rising in the sky tonight
I can’t decide if I should try to fight
The sun sets early
On the dark side of your mood
The howl of the coyote gives me a scare
A rush to the heart, I breathe in the air
Like a thief in the night

I stare out into space
The haze distorts my view
There’s not much light out here
Nothing quite clear and true
But isn’t that our life
We all know how it is
We see what we want to see
And take what life wants to give
You have a lot of... – by John Leinberger | 6 Views added 6 months ago

A note
A lyric
A melody
Is always on my mind
A guitar
A pick
A microphone
Are easy for me to find
Did I choose this life
Or did it choose me
The question of the day
I live my life
I sing my songs
Whatever comes my way
The path ahead... – by John Leinberger | 8 Views added 8 months ago

Banker man calls
and says it’s not a big deal
But no cash by Monday
He’s coming to get my wheels
It’s just his job
I understand
But the tranny is out
Going to cost him two grand
I got the working man blues
Bills are barely getting paid

I woke up this morning
And was feeling kind of bad
Stuck in the middle
Between happy and sad
I grabbed a cup of coffee
Poured in a little Scotch
Looked in the mirror and said
“Time to kick it up a notch”

I got inspired the other night
A glass of whiskey in my hand
Thoughts came pouring from my soul
I became a different man
Didn’t put my words to ink
But the lyrics they all rang true
I’m such a fool, I didn’t think
My memories would be so few

Boxes of knick knacks, our old Monopoly game, a chair, a lamp, that picture that used to hang in the bedroom
Finally, the U-Haul is nearly empty
The last piece is always the hardest,
usually because of the weight.

The drugstore closed in ‘09, after Walmart came to town
The post office’s open from 10 – 2, least while it’s still around

There’s an emptiness in the air
I can’t find the muse tonight
Out on the horizon
Nothing is in sight
Am I such an empty vessel
That I can’t parch your thirst?
Have I poured out all my feelings
Hit the bottom or even worse?

I first met Bob in 82
Or was it 83?
Like a Rolling Stone was in the air
The words cast a spell on me
Weaving left then turning right
A major change of key
An organ pounding that sweet refrain
An iconic melody
Me and Bob

It’s a Friday night gig at a roadside bar
Playing a half empty room
Pouring my heart and soul to the crowd
But I may as well be on the moon

No one cares
No one gives a damn
Hell I don’t blame them
It’s a screwed up world

In the shelter of my basement
No one can get to me
These four walls are my fortress
I’m happy to let life be
But everyone has a weakness
An Achilles heel, a flaw
None of us are bulletproof
There’s a crack in every wall

And a simpler time and place

Gotta a little piece of dirt behind my house
You can’t see it from the road

The day I heard you died
I almost cut my hair

And drifted up the stairs.

And will never be the same
But they’ll be a little better
