Fall From Grace

We go back what seems like a million years
Me and the old ball and chain
We shared some laughs and we shed some tears
Nearly drove us insane
I'm not going anywhere
Like the wrinkles on your face
I'll be there to catch you
When you fall from grace
I've seen you on your best of days
On your worse days as well
And I've stood by you through all your wicked ways
Every time you fell
So I'm not going anywhere
Like the wrinkles on your face
I'll be there to catch you
When you fall from grace

Hey High Roller

Hey high roller
Can you help another high roller
Who's down on his luck
You see I'm all out of cash
And I'm low on gas
In my Chevy Luv pick-em-up truck
I've played every casino
From Vegas to Reno
Out there hustling a buck
So, hey high roller
Can you help another high roller
Who's down on his luck
When Lady Luck was on my side
I was calling bluffs
And let it ride was my middle name
It's always been an uphill climb
But lately I've been thinking I'm
Too old for this game
Lord Knows
I've paid my dues
But that's how it goes
Sometime you lose
I've played every casino
From Vegas to Reno
Out there hustling a buck
So, hey high roller
Can you help another high roller
Who's down on his luck

Win Place & Show

Some guys always seem to find the action
It follows them wherever they go
They never bother stopping for directions
They swear when they get there they’ll know
They swear when they get there they’ll know
Now Kenny’s headed down to the Farmers’ Market
Loading up for his street corner stand
He keeps his whole life savings in his pocket
Bundled up in a rubber band
Bundled up in a rubber band
Skinny Kinny, Willy Bill and Jimmy Joe
They go together like win place and show
It’s urangatanga dinosaura
You gotta hang tough like there’s no tomorrow
‘Cause it’s your basic Kahunaville
Sit down ante up and test your will
I’ve just been dealt an inside straight to fill
I’ve just been dealt an inside straight to fill
Willy got a scholarship to college
To throw the football down in Bloomington
He got hurt they couldn’t fix the damage
Looks like Willy’s playing days are done
Looks like Willy’s playing days are done
Jimmy ran a tavern with his brother
On the inner southwest side of town
Choose a side and he’ll always take the other
He’s breaking even even when he’s down
He’s breaking even even when he’s down
Skinny Kinny, Willy Bill and Jimmy Joe
They go together like win place and show
It’s urangatanga dinosaura
You gotta hang tough like there’s no tomorrow
‘Cause it’s your basic Kahunaville
Sit down ante up and test your will
I’ve just been dealt an inside straight to fill
I’ve just been dealt an inside straight to fill

Are You Quite Prepared

Are you quite prepared to die?
Have you ever wondered why
All the good life seems to pass you by?
Are you quite prepared to die?
Are you quite prepared to live
A life unlike a fugitive?
Do you have what it takes to give?
Are you quite prepared to live?
Are you ever gonna learn?
All those bridges you’ve done burned
Lay in the way that you may return.
Are you ever gonna learn?
Are you quite prepared to die?
Have you ever wondered why
All the good life seems to pass you by?
Are you quite prepared to die?

I Wish I Had A Nickel

I wish I had a nickel for every nickel I ever had
I wish I would have listened to my dear old dad
Maybe I’d be richer or wiser just the same
Because I’m telling you what buddy I barely got
two nickels to my name
She’s a strong minded woman and she pays all of my bills
She says all my jokes are older than the hills
Now she goes bargain shopping
And likes talking on the phone
And when we’re together like birds of a feather
We’ll never be alone
Well we ain’t got much, but we got love
We don’t soar with an eagle, but we perch with a dove
Maybe I can’t promise you the moon and stars
But when you’re here with me baby I guarantee
We can see ‘em… from wherever we are
Sometimes I feel lucky just having you around
Nothing can compare to the treasure that I found
I may never win in Vegas or hit the power ball
But letting it ride with you by my side
I’m the biggest winner of all
Well we ain’t got much, but we got love
We don’t soar with an eagle, but we perch with a dove
Maybe I can’t promise you the moon and stars
But when you’re here with me baby I guarantee
We can see ‘em… from wherever we are
I wish I had a nickel for every nickel I ever had
I wish I would have listened to my dear old dad
Maybe I’d be richer or wiser just the same
I’m telling you what buddy I barely got two nickels to my name
I’m telling you what buddy I barely got two nickels to my name
I’m telling you what buddy I barely got two nickels to my name

Jeff Haigerty Portland, Oregon
Born in Indianapolis, IN, I moved to Portland, OR in 1992 and started the Tree Frogs. We were a big deal in the 90s. A big 7 piece jam band that released three albums while touring and scrounging our way across the USA. Since then a lot of life altering crazy stuff has happened, and along the way I found the time to write a bunch of country songs, debuting 5 of them on my new EP release, Nickel. ... more
