BROKEN HIGHWAYS (Bruzza)

My records are scratched, my tapes are unwound
Trying to finding a song to ease my mind
Boxes and pictures, scattered on the floor
With a tear in my eye I go through them all

Trying to find just who you were
The one who saved me
The one who named me
The one who left me here on my own

Now the sun is up, the sky is green
Wishing my life could be just a dream
Something as sweet, as walking with you
Or a banjo singing one of Hartford's tunes

Like "Skippin' in the Mississippi Dew"
The "Julia Belle Swain"
"Natchez Whistle"
Or something I cannot put my finger on

Traveling down life's broken highways
Carrying a load and bound to run

My records are scratched, my tapes are unwound

RADIO BLUES (Bruzza)

Every where I go my friends are on the radio
them DJ's ain't got time for my sad songs
so everywhere I go I listen to the radio
and hope that someday they'll play mine

Driving late one night in my car
I heard that song that makes me want to die
I just kept moving on to Rockford
just maybe that DJ will play my song

Every where I go my friends are on the radio
them DJ's ain't got time for my sad songs
so everywhere I go I listen to the radio
and hope that someday they'll play mine

Playing night after night in smokey old bar rooms
it's keeping me awake at night
and the women who seem to want me they all lie
and they always end up to be another man's wife

Every where I go my friends are on the radio
them DJ's ain't got time for my sad songs
so everywhere I go I listen to the radio
and hope that someday they'll play mine

TIED DOWN (Hoffman)

I just long to be somewhere, where the rivers are rushing faster
Keep moving towards a place with mountains that stretch high
My legs are strong to take me out running
Through the fields that are never brown
I don't want to dig my car out of the snow everyday for six months out of
the year

I'm tied down to Michigan, there ain't no home like this one
I'm leaving Michigan, with my heart on my sleeve for the world to steal

I'm going find myself, missing the lakes and beaches where I was a boy
Some people will be left, wishing I had stayed
There ain't no cure for this feeling like moving our lives around
I want to be somewhere that people appreciate these kinds of songs

I'm tied down to Michigan, there ain't no home like this one
I'm leaving Michigan, with my heart on my sleeve for the world to steal

Been settling down in this town where we all came together
My wife and my friends, we became a family here
I won't ever betray my memories tasting other seas and landscapes
These trees are fruit and these dreams are free

I'm tied down to Michigan, there ain't no home like this one
I'm leaving Michigan, with my heart on my sleeve for the world to steal
