Sinking 03:25
Puff puff pass, puff pass. Your life goes oh so fast. Puff pass, it goes so fast. So fast. Puff puff pass, puff pass. Your life goes oh so fast. Puff pass, it goes so fast. So fast. First to hit, ends up the last. The last to laugh. First hit's the last to laugh. To laugh. First to hit, ends up the last. The last to laugh. First hit's the last to laugh. To laugh. Why can't we slow down our thinking and stay afloat without sinking. Stuck with what you got, it's got you oh so bad, it's got you oh so bad. So bad. Stuck with what you got, it's got you oh so bad, it's got you oh so bad. So bad. The love you got, it sure is a lot. The love you got, it sure is a lot. The love you got, it sure is a lot. The love you got, it sure is a lot, oh yeah. Why can't we slow down our thinking and stay afloat while we're sinking. Why can't we stop all our thinking and stay afloat while we're sinking, sinking, sinking, sinking, sinking, sinking, sinking, sinking.

New Mex 02:23
Sopaipilla. Enchilada. Quesadilla with salsa. "Salsa!" Chile relleno. Cashew Mole. Picco de gallo with salsa "fresca!" Bet ya don't know how good life could be with some New Mexican cuisine. It's a dream come true each time you eat some New Mexican cuisine. Bet ya don't know how good life could be with some New Mexican cuisine. New Mexican cuisine. Chile verde smothered on burrito. Huevos Rancheros. Te llamo New Mexico. "Te llamo!" Guacomole. Tomatillo. "Mas chipotle por favor, y gracias." "De nada!" Bet ya don't know how good life could be with some New Mexican cuisine. It's a dream come true each time you eat some New Mexican cuisine. Bet ya don't know how good life could be with some New Mexican cuisine. New Mexican cuisine. "Por favor, may I have some more of that yummy stuffy?" If you love me you would give me New Mexican cuisine. "Por favor, may I have some more of that yummy stuffy?" If you love me you would give me New Mexican cuisine. Bet ya don't know how good life could be with some New Mexican cuisine. It's a dream come true each time you eat some New Mexican cuisine. Bet ya don't know how good life could be with some New Mexican cuisine. New Mexican cuisine.

La Panza Cafe. Come on down and try it today. La Panza Cafe. You're gonna like what you taste on your plate. It's New Mexican cuisine. You might just feel like you're there. You don't need a travel magazine, just take one taste and you'll know that it's all right here at La Panza Cafe. New Mexican flare with every bite. Try it today then come back again and try it tonight. And if you like green chile, don't be silly. You're not gonna find it this fresh. When it comes to Southwest flavor, La Panza's the best. La Panza's the best. La Panza Cafe. La Panza's the best.

In Portland 03:20
I walk down the street that I usually walk along. The people I meet, yeah they usually talk a lot about themselves and about the lives that they lead, so I keep walking to the store and I buy some weed cause I live in Portland. And if you know me then you know that I talk too much about selfish things that I shouldn't really bring about in conversation. It is time for me to face my situation, which is that I'm a disgrace and I'm livin' in Portland. I ring all the bells in a belfrey that sounds a bit like Oscar the Grouch banging bones on a trash can lid or maybe it's me when I beat on my drum kit after a few beers when I'm feelin' all drunk and shit. I'm living in Portland. The sunset is nice tonight. I think it's important to take a nice slice of life and eat all your food so dessert you can have some more. I go to the beach and I put my feet on the shore. I'm sure that I'll find something better to do with my time if I can find you and you won't feel so blue inside. I'm living in Portland. I'm living in Portland. I sit on the porch and say hi cause I think it's important to greet a passerby. In this gray world where the truth is not black or white I hope we can all find a better way to spend our time away from the hate. Oh I think it would be great to share a good joke with you. Let's make it a date or two. We're living in Portland. At the open mic where I usually sing and play, It's right down the street, just a hop, skip and jump away. The people get up on the stage and they play again, just like the week before with the support of a friend that's living in Portland.

Dark Blue 03:03
Dark blue is the color of the cigarette smoke and it's the color of the sky, the sky, the sky. Dark blue is the fisher on the fisherman's boat. The fish don't bite but it's alright. I know it is alright. I know it is alright. I know it is alright. I know it's alright. If you're walkin' down on by. If you're reachin' to the sky. I just want to just say hi and let you know it's alright. I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by. I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by. I know we'll get by. Dark blue is the sky that rains on my brain. Sometimes it gets me so low, so low, so low. Dark blue oh why must you lay me down in chains. It makes me cry. I don't know why. I don't know why. I don't know why. I don't know why. I don't know why. I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by. I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by, I know we'll get by.

about

Kevin Haynes Portland, Oregon

When I'm not freestyling lyrics to songs into the recorder on my phone, I like to write original folk/pop music on ukulele, guitar and piano. Music inspires my creativity and has helped me grow and make connections over the years. It's something I will never stop pursuing and I'm happy to be able to share it with you. Thanks for listening! ... more
