last summer rain days get longer time slows down lovers linger green turns brown season closes winter dawns gone are the roses that sing your song oh how I wish I could kiss your lips in the last summer rain oh how I wish we could do it all again what's a year just some days tears disappear in the last summer rain oh how I wish I could kiss your lips in the last summer rain oh how I wish we could do it all again oh how I wish I could kiss your lips in the last summer rain oh how we cried when we said goodbye in the last summer rain oh how I wish I could kiss your lips in the last summer rain oh how I wish that we didn't feel the pain

all I can think of is you it's friday night got my first beer I look round the bar, rubbing my scars nothing seems too clear it's a foreign land and I've seen quite a few I've known kings and queens and bums from the streets but I've never met someone like you they say there's luck, I know I'm due I've just arrived in some far-flung dive and all I can think of is you the barmaid scowls as she floats across the floor pours me a drink but I'm too tired to think if I've enough money for more I'll find my way back to your heart god only knows if I have enough soul to keep from falling apart they say there's luck, I know I'm due now I'm drunk and alone and wish I was home and all I can think of is you love comes and goes look who it chose it's friday night at least it is for you forgive me my dear, I've had a few beers and all I can think of is you they say there's luck, I know I'm due I'm smashed and I'm trashed and all out of cash cause all I can think of is you I'm drunk and alone and wish I was home and all I can think of - all I can think of is you

Lucky Man 02:37
lucky man well I sure ain't rich I ain't exactly broke got some loyal friends I know a lot of nice folks I try to live my life by no one else's plan I'm a lucky man I got a girl back home she sings me songs I could watch her walk up and down the hall all day long she loves me for who I really am I'm a lucky man I got two great kids they don't ask for much they're out there living their lives but they keep in touch I give them both a hug whenever I can I'm a lucky man and all those righteous in the distance they don't know where I stand I got a few more years no time for tears I'm a lucky man yeah, I'm a lucky man

sedalia blues I never set foot in your hometown you never took a step in mine but I feel the wheels are turning and I think it might be time I wanna breathe the air it gave you I wanna feel that sun go down I wanna wallow in your footsteps down the streets of sedalia town though I know your dreams had faded mine have nothing left to lose and you don't have to be in missouri to sing sedalia blues I chose a life that you'd forgotten a life you said would let me down but it's kept me fed and watered and it's led to sedalia town and though I might be torn and jaded got no ego left to bruise and I don't need to see missouri I'll just sing sedalia blues

Everything 02:25
everything everything I'd wanted everything I'd dreamed everything I'd hoped for and everything inbetween everything that mattered everything that's true all became real all because of you I can hear your footsteps outside my door I can tell it's you by the way your heels hit the floor you're one in a million you make me feel like a king you're my heart and soul you're my everything I don't need money wouldn't know what to buy all I take to the bank are my thanks that I'm your guy life's a circus or a boxing ring but all I know is you're my everything

stones let's take a walk out in the garden feel the stones beneath your shoes aint no getting around the truth there's a technicolour sunset but all you see is gray clouds hang in your way could it be you believe there's seeds left to sow with no one else to blame for being left alone could it be you lost a diamond while you collected stones all we ever have are chances every key unlocks a door every wave finds a distant shore so take your glass and smash it on the stones beneath your feet turn you back on what you see could it be you believe there's seeds left to sow with no one else to blame for being left alone could it be you lost a diamond while you collected stones in another life, everything's alright, yeah in another world, throwing swine at pearls, yeah, yeah could it be you believe there's dreams in the stones and no one left to say you'll dream them alone could it be you lost a diamond while you collected stones

joan collins had my baby joan collins had my baby just for a second we were at a hollywood party the bright lights, they did beckon so fellas, don't think maybe joan collins had my baby joan collins took one look and swept her from my arms she engaged her in witty conversation with all her english charm so fellas don't say maybe joan collins had my baby joan asked her to see her house out on malibu beach I said she had to work the next day, and had a headache and we got kids, and that we just had to leave was I jealous, or just plain lazy joan collins had my baby joan collins had my baby she just took her from my side and I'd seen every one of her 79 films I guess it's just my pride so boys don't call me crazy joan collins had my baby well fellas, don't say maybe joan collins had my baby now the memory's a little hazy - yeah

The Sparrow 03:56
the sparrow I once had a love thought it was true across the green fields where the sparrow once flew but spring had long gone, winter was cold it's amazing how quickly your soul can be sold I gave her my best for five full years days filled with laughter and sometimes a tear because no road is straight, there's curves and bends I never expected this road to end you search for the truth, you beg to know why you learn to ignore what's probably a lie you look in the mirror, the face that you see is the ghost of a man who you used to be now I sit alone in a west country pub a pint and a pen takes the place of a love that defined my soul, that gave me hope as I tie a noose in the end of a rope across the green fields, where the sparrow once flew

I Do Alright 03:16
I do alright I walk against the lights when they turn red I like to go against the grain instead I go to karaoke bars but I don't sing along I do alright, when I'm doing wrong I like to walk in someone else's sleep I leave my message well before the beep I clean my teeth with a fine-tooth comb and spray-paint my lawn I do alright, when I'm doing wrong I drink and file lawsuits at the bar I ride my bike in the backseat of my car I order decaf latte soy and make it extra strong I do alright, when I'm doing wrong I drag my bathtub up and down the street I once had wooden legs and real feet I play in sergeant pepper's band, but I don't know the songs I do alright, when I'm doing wrong you might say it's a topsy-turvy life you might say you're glad you're not my wife but my love for you is true babe, my love for you is strong and I do alright, when I'm doing wrong I do alright, when I'm doing wrong

Home 06:18
home I wake each morning in the jungle to the sound of a thousand hearts I know that my time will always be defined by whether I can hold it all apart and I'm waiting for the sun to start shining I'm waiting for the neon light's glow I think about a place where I can find some space thinking about going back home the stones that have rolled through my windows the names that have changed with time float by on the stream of a midnight summer's dream a screenplay that's only in my mind and I'm standing in a meadow made of concrete where the trees are made of steel and chrome I think about a place where I can find some space thinking about going back home now there's nothing left to do but remember there's nothing left to say but goodnight no one left to meet along this empty street gonna find someone I love and hold them tight and I'm waiting for the birds to start singing I'm waiting for the wind to blow I'm going to a place where I've got a little space going back, going back home

about

Cletis Carr

Singer-songwriter Cletis Carr knows a good yarn. Especially when paired with a good melody and some gritty slide guitar.

A careful student of the human condition, Carr's story-songs play out like mini-movies. Tales of joy, heartbreak, redemption, ordinary madness and everyday heroes are framed in a rich tapestry of acoustic steel-string guitar, dobro and lap slide.
