Good Ol' Days Are Gone

Song title: THE GOOD OL’ DAYS ARE GONE
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
The story’s wrote, the picture’s drawn
The good ol’ days are gone
Up the steps, down the hatch
The night has seen it’s dawn
New day rises, old one dies
The torch is passed along
The story’s wrote, the curtain’s drawn
The good ol’ days are gone

Song title: THE GRAND FORK PASS
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
(chorus)
At least I’ve got you, Jolly Luck, my dear
There’s no better pal one could wish to have
Good thing it’s so, cause we’re stuck out here
Stuck here on the Grand Fork Pass
(verse 1)
The Grand Fork Pass,
Where since I got here I lost nearly
All my faith in what’s in store for me
The Grand Fork Pass
Charges it’s toll,
Got me empty handed grieving my soul
(verse 2)
The Grand Fork Pass,
I only thought I’d stop awhile
Get some rest and get my horse some feed
The Grand Fork Pass
Never let’s go
It ropes your neck and ties a tag to your toe
(verse 3)
The Grand Fork Pass,
‘been wandering days in a haze
Without a bite to feed my starving heart
The Grand Fork Pass
Shrivel’s you dry
To bones to fry under the merciless sky

Song title: VILLAIN’S THEME
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
(verse 1)
You’ve never seen somebody like this
He walks into a place and acts like he owns it
And everybody in there loses their wits
‘won’t look him in the eye and bite their lips
(chorus)
He’s… Bad, Bad as Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
He’s as…
Bad, Bad as Leroy Brown
The Baddest man
(verse 2)
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Folks close shutters when word spreads he’s coming ‘round
He always stomps on some poor clown
Who’s wife’s gotta beg him not to put her man in the ground
(verse 3)
Now what could make a man so mean
With fire in his eyes like his veins pump kerosene
A wrong move’ll bring trouble and fast
He’s quick to pull the pistol ‘put some bullet holes through some hats

Song title: SUITCASE ANNIE
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
(chorus)
Get your suitcase Annie,
I think it’s time for you to go
Say farewell to your friends, and hope and pray
We may meet again… some brighter day
(verse 1)
In hopes of better, and of best
To somewhere quiet, somewhere to rest
Away from threats, well in the cradle, of safety’s vest
(verse 2)
Now love don’t worry, or fret
The world is your oyster, and you’re it’s net
So go forth brave, with looking back, and never forget
(verse 3)
Just send us letters, when you can
Let us know, the wheres and the whens
If we don’t write, trust that we’re fine, just busy again

Song title: STAINLESS STILL
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
How can but a normal man judge what is fact or myth
To sort out truth from false today, too few possess a sift
I pray to heaven daily to send our town the one
The long awaited promised son with a good heart and a gun
I’ve alway found admirable, I guess I always will
One who never slips… Stainless still
Here there’s not a clean slate a townshipper could boast
Our names have all been muddied up, our closets all have ghosts
The pastor and the mayor are no different than the rest
For losing faith and going against what we all know is best
It’s vacant on the pedestal, it’s mighty shoes to fill
One who never slips… Stainless still
Is there such a man who stands as high as the legend does?
I look at all the folks i know and they wouldn’t last two seconds
There’s strangers that i’ve come across who seemed so prodigal
It’s hard to say from far away if they did fit that bill
The holy and desirable, that those in power kill
One who never slips… Stainless still

Song title: THE DUEL PT. 1
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
There’ll be only one of two men left in the end
When the clock strikes death
There’ll be only one of two men left in the end
When the clock strikes death
The sun is scorching hot, ‘smells of rot, something’s dead
A starving vulture flock, kettles and hisses overhead
The clock is soon, to strike high noon, let the lunch bells ring
See the buzzards fly on down, hear the angels sing

Song title: SHERIFF BOB (EULOGY)
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
(verse 1)
Bob was a fighter, ‘was a good man
Crime biter, locking up the hoodlums
Was your go-to, stand up
Straight face, wouldn’t lie
(verse 2)
Many years back, trouble came on
Riding through town, they were ten strong
Bob & his colt, stood guard
Fought hard, shots fired (shots fired, shots fired)
(verse 3)
All who knew him, and who loved him
Would attest that, he was a good friend
Good father, good husband
Good brother, or good cousin (cousin, cousin)
(verse 4)
So in good health, we’ll remember
Our pal & neighbour, our defender
On our hearts, our star,
Our hero by far

Song title: ALL OUR TRUST
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
All our faith misplaced in you
As saints laid down when devils drew
All of it untrue
He ate the flesh and drank the blood
Prayed the prayer and kneeled in mud
All of it for you

Song title: GAMBLER’S RAMBLE
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
(verse 1)
Finally the chance to dance with fate
Danced like hell’s fire, I lit the lake
Forecast called, ‘skies to fall
Didn’t hesitate at all
I held her hand… God or Satan
(verse 2)
Such a time would a man go straight
Not willing to risk it or make a fool’s mistake
Safest bet, money set
Cards put down with no regret
I knew I’d win… God or Satan
(verse 3)
With the prize in mind one keeps the grip
No expenses spent on stutters and lip slips
Never fear, never care
What they say, or what they hear
Stick to the plan… God or Satan
(verse 4)
Always got that something up my sleeve
The trick is in the knowing the right time to retrieve
Ace & ace, heart & heart
Give or take the better card
When to save or spend… God or Satan

That's The One

Song title: THAT’S THE ONE
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
(verse 1)
That’s the one you’re looking for
You’ve never witnessed or have seen this caliber before
Don’t seem like much but he’s been through the piece and through the war
Ate the apple, sowed the core
Seen the devil, met the lord
Up through the ceilings… down through floors
That’s the one you’re looking for
(verse 2)
That’s the one you’re looking for
You’ve known the posters and have contemplated the reward
But always wondered if he held a pen or held a sword
Liar or man of his word
Jagged or smooth as an orb
Hated… or adored
That’s the one you’re looking for
(verse 3)
That’s the one you’re looking for
The long awaited son the virgin mother Mary bore
How’d you not recognize he always shared what he could poor
Took of his and made it yours
Played but never counted score
No doubt… you can be sure
That’s the one you’re looking for

The Second Duel

Song title: THE SECOND DUEL
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
There’ll be only one of two men left in the end
When the clock strikes death
There’ll be only one of two men left in the end
When the clock strikes death
The church bells ring twelve times, the busy street somehow’s bare
The store door hold up signs, written closed, no one’s there
The rumbling of horses’ hooves halts to stomping spurs
The kind of moment folks recall exactly where they were

Song title: THE UNDERTAKER WINS AGAIN
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
The undertaker wins again
Another dead, when will it end?
When?
When?
I’ve got no tears left to cry
Lord I prayed them not to die
Why?
Why?
Will they be up in the clouds?
There to great me by the crowds
And well?
Well?
When I turn around to see,
All the gravestones in the yard
All the closest ones to me,
Were murdered under our God’s guard
And I try to understand
What it is he seeks to teach
With such pain and suffering
What’s the goal he wants to reach?
I only need a sign
To ease my worried mind
And I don’t want to lose my faith
But to test it so seems wrong
And I’m trying to meet half way
But I’ve been waiting for so long
We’re running out of time
And I’ll leave before I find
We’ve been waiting for too long
We’ve been waiting long enough

Song title: CAN I SLEEP IN YOUR BARN TONIGHT?
by Vincent DeCowans
(written & composed by Vincent Deshaies)
(chorus)
Can I sleep in your barn tonight?
I’ll be gone before the sun shines it’s first ray of light
Milk the cow, feed the cat, lock the gate & be out of sight
If you’ll only let me sleep in your barn tonight
(verse 1)
Countless days, as many nights, out on the road
Many towns, out of bounds, many doors shut closed
Never found just a place to settle down & change my clothes
Feeling lonesome in the face of another night out in the cold
(verse 2)
It’s been cold, it’s been damp, and it’s been wet
In the brush, or the ditches, near the highways where I slept
Roaring wheels, under bridges, where the rats chew on your quilt
There were times where I thought I was done for, or so I felt
