  Never get involved with someone who is on the rebound. You end up as an emotional crutch and we all know what happens to a crutch once you are healed.
         
        DRAWING CIRCLES IN A SANDSTORM. © David Moulton
        VERSE 1
      In the quiet times I often find you

Flipping through the pages of my mind,

The story line you left there has no end

Not even with the passages of time.

You stayed around just long enough to mend your wings

Then you took off in search of bluer skies,

And there’s no way to argue with a silence

You left me without reasons or good-byes.

        CHORUS
        And I was drawing circles in a sandstorm

Holding back the grains against the wind,

Being punished for the hurt another done to you

And loving you too much my only sin.

        VERSE 2
      The last I heard you’d moved to San Diego

You’d got a job and I know that you’ll do fine,

Sometimes I think that I might try to find you

But then again I don’t think now’s the time.

So I guess I’ll just stay here with my memories

And stop playing those games that I can’t win,

The question is not, would you ever let me back

The question is, would you ever let me in.

        CHORUS
        Or am I drawing circles in a sandstorm

Holding back the grains against the wind,

Being punished for the hurt another done to you

And loving you too much my only sin.

        I ONLY SAID I WAS CRAZY © David Moulton
        VERSE 1
      When I met you I was crazy in love

’Cos the real you I couldn’t see,

And that was long before I found out

That you were cheatin’ on me.

Now you’re tellin’ me that if I take you back

You promise you’ll always be true,

Well I only said I was crazy

Not stupid in love with you.

        VERSE 2
      You told me that you loved me

But you were drunk at the time,

An’ I can see when you left me

You were leavin’ the scene of the crime.

You said I was your best friend

Well how come you treat me so bad?

An’ I should have known ’stead of counting on you

I should have counted the beers that you’d had.

        BRIDGE
        Now you’re tellin’ me that you’re sorry

And you’re askin’ can we start anew,

Well I only said I was crazy

Not stupid in love with you.

        VERSE 3
      They always say that once bitten

Will make a man twice as shy,

An’ if I should think about takin’ you back

Just give me one reason why

It’s not that I don’t have feelings

Just my sense of survival shows through,

’Cos I only said I was crazy

Not stupid in love with you.

  I began writing this song 1994 in Los Angeles about my feelings for that town. Then a job took me to Eugene, Oregon. So I made the song fit any town and it is also about my journey through life.
         
        MY FAVORITE WORN-OUT JEANS  © David Moulton
        VERSE 1
      Home always used to be whatever town I was in

Never stayed in one place like a dry leaf in the wind,

So to find myself settlin’ down was the last thing I expected

Looks like this ol’ town an’ me really have connected.

        CHORUS
        I wasn’t born here but I got here just as soon as I could

When I found out this is where belong,

Sometimes when I miss the place where I was raised

I tell myself it’s a good place to be from.

This is where I hang my hat and it’s where I hang my dreams

An’ it fits me like my favorite worn-out jeans,

This place fits me like my favorite worn out jeans.

        VERSE 2
      Sometimes on life’s highway I’d take a different turn

And along with every detour was a lesson to be learned,

The unknown road I travel on is of my own creation

And the journey means more to me than my destination.

        BRIDGE
        There’s a small change in perception between Heaven and Hell

And I’ve found a God that I can trust, the one within myself,

An’ if Jesus wears Levi’s I know this much is true

He buttons up those 501s the same way that I do.

        CHORUS
        I wasn’t born here but I got here just as soon as I could

When I found out this is where belong,

Sometimes when I think about the lifestyle I once had

I tell myself I’m glad those times have gone.

This is where I hang my hat and it’s where I hang my dreams

An’ it fits me like my favorite worn-out jeans,

My life fits me like my favorite worn out jeans.
