Craig Irby Jr There are so many wonderful qualities about this record; vocals, guitar playing, lyrics, arrangements (I could go on). However, the thing I like the most is the way it makes me feel. It feels genuine. Favorite track: New Agreements.

True Love 05:24
I've been waiting all my lifetime for a love that feels like you, yeah I've been waiting all my life for someone so true. I've been waiting all my lifetime for a love that feels like you, I've been waiting all my life for someone so true. Loving loudly no more boundaries, let it come and let it go. Keeping no boundaries, let it flourish, let it grow. Loving loudly no more boundaries, let it come and let it go. Keep no boundaries, let it flourish, let it grow. True love within. Will we begin? Spent my days and spent my nights now looking high and looking low. Spent my past life looking high and looking low. Spent my days and spent my nights now looking high and looking low. Spent my past life looking high and looking low. But I found out through my new doubt that the real bout is within, yeah I found out through doubt that bout is deep within. But I found out through my new doubt that the real bout is within, yeah I found out through doubt that bout is deep within. When I dug out that old grout I was free to love again. When I dug out that grout I freed my love again. When I dug out that old grout I was free to love again, when I dug out that grout I freed my love again. True love within. Will we begin?

Break your lease. Snap your leash. Spread your rainbow. Stretch your mind. Tend your garden. Beg no pardon. Love your neighbor. Love yourself. Tell the truth. Don't assume. Don't take anything personally. Do your best. Find your truth. Change your body. Train your mind.

I'll set you up with a beer gonna set you up with a shot. Set you up with a beer gonna set you up with a shot. Gonna write down your fears c'mon let's scrape, scrap, scribble and jot. Yeah... C'mon and jot down yer fears with me. Jot, jot, jot down yer fears. C'mon and jot down yer fears with me. Jot, jot, jot down yer fears. C'mon and jot down yer fears with me. I got two good ears, oh yeah. Gonna set you on up with a big fat rolled up joint, yes. Gonna set you on up with a big fat rolled up joint, oh. A big king sized paper gonna get right to the point. We got a long list of fears and it's gonna take all night long, yes it will. Gotta long list of fears and it's gonna take all night long. So keep that marijuana burnin' and that coffee brewin' real strong. C'mon and jot down yer fears with me. Jot, jot, jot down yer fears. C'mon and jot down yer fears with me. Jot, jot, jot down yer fears. C'mon and jot down yer fears now. I got two good ears.

The Catoctins they weren't good to us, Coulda wound up dead. Stretched across them Appalachians, Yearnin' for a bed. Tennessee resurrected us, but away we fled. This reborn trio headed west, Paints the east bright red. 'Cross the Mississippi River Felt like comin' home. Kicked my shoes off, Put my pedal to the floor. This reborn trio headed west, Lookin' for some more, lookin' for some more. Arkansas was standin' tall, Fields and fields of corn. Oklahoma carried over, Twistin' thru the storm. Texas tried to vex us, But we tied the score. This reborn trio headin' west, Runnin' to the desert's door, Runnin' to the desert's door. Albuquerque stars. Arizona sky. Ceiling of the earth, grounded clay and dirt. Drivin' in the dark. Diamondback eyes. Starin' at the void. Tunnel vision time... Tunnel vision time... California border, Sunrise in the smog. Houseboat hospitality, Tired as a log. Central coast was callin' like a mornin' fog. This reborn trio found the west. This reborn trio found the west. This reborn trio found the west! Oh! No rest, no rest...

Don't know what to do and I don't know what to say. Don't know what to think and I think I'll keep it that way. 'Cause I'm property of the state and I was born with an expiration date. But if we don't fight for ourselves we got an April Fools kinda fate. Today is Easter Sunday and it's also April Fools. If Jesus wants to come back he better sharpen his tools. He ain't property of the state, 'cause he was born with no expiration date. (Born again) But if we don't fight like a shepherd we got an April Fools kinda fate, Yeah but it's not to late. Yesterday was a blue moon, 31st of March. Mother Nature's holdin' on but she's feelin' kinda parched. 2019 and hope is lookin' sparse. But look up, 'cause that gravitational goddess holds her mark. Yeah, she ain't property of the state, she wasn't born with no expiration date. 'Cause if we don't fight for Mother Earth we got an April Fools kinda fate. I still don't know what to do and I don't know what to say. Oh, I don't know what to think and I think I'll keep it that way. (I'll keep quiet all my life, but) If we don't fight for ourselves we got an April Fools kinda fate. Yeah, but it's not too late. No, it's not too late...
