“Wake Up Mama”
Written & Performed by: Garin C. Greenholt
Mama up and left me here alone
And I woke up to the telephone
The boss just called to say “she’s late again”
But oh, my mama, she just can’t win
So, wake up mama, wake up
You didn’t sleep last night
Wake up mama wake up
I know there’s something not right
Ahhhh x 4
When mama got home, she went straight to bed
Thoughts were racing all through her head
So, I was nice and turned the T.V. down
And all damn night I didn’t make a sound
But wake up mama, wake up
You didn’t sleep last night
Oh Wake up mama wake up
I know there’s something not right
Ahhhh x 2
Ahhhh x 4

“Mistakes”
Written & Performed by: Garin C. Greenholt
I’m trying really hard not to look
At the book
Of “Preferred Practices”
For writing a hit
So, I’ll just get on with it
See if it sticks
And I really hope someone is listening
I really want someone to hear
The world is more than likely just a sphere
But that’s
Really not the point
I was trying to make
And if it’s not too late
What do you say?
Couldn’t you relate
To my mistakes?
Oh here we go…
And I really hope you all are listening
I really want you all to hear
The world is more than likely just a sphere
And I don’t know what I’m doing here
We’re off…
*inaudible gabbing and laughing*

“White Sage”
Written & Performed by: Garin C. Greenholt
Burning white sage will keep the spirits away
At least that’s what they all seem to say
But I’m over here with my head in my hands
The cat’s on the wall again
My head is in the clouds
And I’m not looking down
Over this town
Mother Mary please
You’re starting to scare me
I’m on my knees
Burning white sage, they’re coming back from the grave
Its been so long since I’ve been on my way
But I just can’t stand the thought of losing again
Looks like I’m here to stay
*demonic laughing*
My head is in the clouds
And it’s getting foggy now
Over this town
Are they coming back for me
We’ll just have to wait and see
They’re all I need

“Head On Straight”
Written & Performed by: Garin C. Greenholt
“You should pull yourself together”
Water is welling behind two brown eyes
“I don’t think you’ve got your head on straight”
That’s ok, ha-ha, it’s no mistake
Now you want to talk it over
Forget about that day
That’s ok, I won’t be over
My head’s not on quite straight
No mama, not today…
*hysterical laughing noises*
“You should be ashamed of what you’ve done”
But hey lady, I didn’t hurt no one
“I’d like to see you get your head on straight”
That’s ok, whatever you say *laughing*
Still you want to talk it over
Forget about that day
That’s ok, I won’t be over
My head’s still not on straight
*continued hysterical laughing*

“Kool Kat”
Written & Performed by: Garin C. Greenholt
He’s climbing up walls
Running through halls
And hitting the country ball
You know he doesn’t care
Much at all about…
What to wear
Cause he covered in hair
And it’s gonna be dark in there
The perfect place
To sit and stare
And he’s a cool cat
Bumping around
In the crowd that he just found
He’s got a fe-line
That he likes to drop
On the ladies from time to time
He’s feeling fine
Smoking a dime
And taking his good ‘ole time
With his long stem pipe
You know he’s quite alright
Till he sees a stray
Looking his way
Thinking she wants to play
But you know he can’t
Have it both ways, yeah
When she sees his face
She turns away
See’s leaving the “par-tay”
These things never seem
To go his way, but
Just before, she reached the door
She looked back at the poor –
Old cat in the back
And he knows what for.
Cause she’s a hound dog
Who likes to flog
And she loves to chew on logs
And he’s just a cat
Imagine that
He’s just not “where it’s at”
*cat noise*
