Little Dreamer © 1997 Bob Saar and BlueSky Movie Music Dream on little dreamer Nothing but dreams for the dreamer Dreaming gets you nothing but dreams Dream on little dreamer You always called the highway your home Never done nothing but roam When you were young your daddy said Look at that boy roaming round in his head Dream on little dreamer Nothing but dreams for the dreamer Dreaming gets you nothing but dreams Dream on little dreamer You've been on every road you could find Some of them more than one time Don't matter what's over that hill Looking for it's better than standing still Dream on little dreamer Nothing but dreams for the dreamer Dreaming gets you nothing but dreams Dream on little dreamer Every dream comes to an end It'll happen to yours my friend One day they'll slow you down When they cover you up six feet underground Where you dream on little dreamer Nothing but dreams for the dreamer Dreaming gets you nothing but dreams Dream on little dreamer |

Redwing © 1997 Bob Saar and BlueSky Movie Music I'm so happy I am free I'm so happy I am free I'm so happy I am free Redwing blackbird sits on a wire Sings his song higher and higher In the big blue sky He's so happy when he flies I saw you, you saw me We fell in love but it wasn't to be I'm so happy I loved you Someday you'll be happy that you loved me, too I'm so happy I am free I'm so happy I am free I'm so happy I am free Redwing blackbird jumps off a wire Sails away higher and higher In the big blue sky He's so happy, bye-bye I'm so happy I am free I'm so happy I am free I'm so happy I am free This song is dedicated to Tom Cain Jr, 1954-1997 |

The Other Side of the World © 1997 Bob Saar and BlueSky Movie Music There you are on the other side of the world Looks just like this side I'm on Far away, too far away What's it like on the other side of the world I see the moon, same moon you see Your eyes reflecting down on me Wonder when it's you I'll see On the other side of the world I go slow and you go fast You go first and I go last And a cold wind blows and it blows right past To the other side of the world I'd follow you to the other side of the world But the moon and stars have lost their light Wander over earth and sky Never find the reason why There's another side to the world I want it slow, you want it fast You go first and I go last The yin goes yang goes rolling past To the other side of the world Is there love on the other side of the world Is that why you went so far away How long do you have to stay Maybe we can meet halfway To the other side of the world I want it slow, you go fast You go first and I go last And the yin goes yang goes rolling past To the other side of the world |
Bob Saar - Acoustic guitar Patrick Hazell - Piano Written by Bucky Minnow about his brother David Joe Junior, who ran away to Viet Nam in the Sixties. Bob drew on plenty of abandonment experience for this one. Works as a song for anyone who's ever been dumped.

Funny Little Man © 1997 Bob Saar and BlueSky Movie Music He's the funny little man, with the funny ideas A funny little car, funny girl not his And he floats down the river of the Now and Is Funny little funny little man The funny little man did a funny little dance With the skinny little girl in the summer in France They coulda lived forever but he never had a chance Cause she ran down the hill like the summer in France Well it wasn't funny then and it isn't funny now How the funny little girl took her funny little bow And she left him standing, there he is right now Funny little furrow on his funny little brow He's the funny little man, with the funny ideas A funny little car, funny girl not his And he floats down the river of the Now and Is Funny little funny little man So the funny little man gave up all he called his The funny little car, funny girl, gee whiz And he sailed down the river of the Now and Is funny little funny little man You can be what you wanna, be it all because It's a funny little world with some funny little laws And it's way far better if you see than saw And to live funny lives just because you was A funny little man, with some funny ideas A funny little car, funny girl not his And he floated down the river of the Now and Is And he never ever ever came back Funny little funny little man Song Index Wave Soundclip 30 seconds download on a dialup RealAudio soundclip 5 seconds download on dialup |
Bob Saar - Acoustic guitar Patrick Hazell - Zydeco organ John Lindsey - Washboard Bucky Minnow - Electric rhythm Jon Hazell - Timbales Steve Smartt - Trumpet Boomer - Bass Background vocals - David Pitman, Gail McSparen, Patrick Cable, Tim, Julie, and Clark Rider; Mary and Bert Zupek; Katie and Lindsay McSparen; Natalie, Rachel, and Jessica Zupek; David Hazell, Jon Hazell, Giselle Pettit, Katie Brown, and Carp Boy Johnny Way too much fun. Another song about being dumped, but once you wake up and smell the carpet, you can go on to learn new things. This clip is from an unfinished mix; the final mix sounds like a crazed zydeco marching band in a small Iowa town.

David's Buick © 1997 Bob Saar and BlueSky Movie Music It will cause me pain To ride in your back seat again Because we once were real crazy Rolling down those endless highways Radio screaming out each time we go Drinking up the cheap beer and wine Sailing bottles off the road signs And I never was quite sure If we were on the right side Of the white line Shake me up, don't break down Take me back to my hometown We so young Don't know what kind of race we run Lost dreams blowing out the window Running after what we don't know River highway always will flow And I never was quite sure If we were on the right side Of the white line Life is real When you get behind the steering wheel Let it roll, let it ride Guided by the stars and moonlight Run away into the warm night And I never was quite sure If we were on the right side Of the white line Wave Soundclip 30 seconds download on a dialup RealAudio soundclip 5 seconds download on dialup |
Bob Saar - Vocal and electric guitar Patrick Hazell - Piano John Lindsey - Washboard Sara Wilson - Backup vocals Boomer - Bass Bucky Minnow - Acoustic guitar Dogus Jones - 2nd electric guitar C-Boy James - Beanbag A number of rock and roll bands have played this one, but this version is more of a piano-guitar rumba-samba. If you can imagine such a thing. It's about those good old days... remember them?... when life was nothing more than driving around in your brother's car and knowing everything.

The Boy and the Buzzard © 1997 Bob Saar and BlueSky Movie Music A young boy is lying face down in the sand The meaning of life in the palm of his hand Down by the river, transparent green glide Over his head a black buzzard slides The young boy is naked and turning quite brown The buzzard is lazy and decides to set down They sit side by side in the hot afternoon Singing their song to the sun and the moon La la la la la The boy holds his hand in the blue summer breeze The bird takes a peek and he laughs when he sees A young boy and a buzzard that dance wing in arm Singing their song to the moon and the stars La la la la la You might think I'm crazy for singing this song Maybe you're crazy enough to sing along The boy and the buzzard just dance in the sand If you think they're crazy you are or I am La la la la la Wave Soundclip less than one minute download on dialup RealAudio soundclip 30 seconds download on dialup |

The Sun Will Always Shine © 1997 Bob Saar and BlueSky Movie Music Come over here, sit beside me Put your arm around my shoulder Give me that look that got me long ago Give me that hand so I can hold her I can take you far away Where your dreams always play What do you say girl, what do you say? Cause the sun will always shine Just like the first time We can be so happy darling We're gonna be all right, singing La la la la Gonna be so happy baby, we're gonna be all right Don't you know how I love you? I guess I never really let you know I lean to the wild side sometimes I sure do get feeling low You can take me far away Where my dreams always play What do you say girl, what do you say Cause the sun will always shine Just like the first time We can be so happy darling We're gonna be all right, singing La la la la Gonna be so happy baby, we're gonna be all right |

Down On Jesus Road © 1997 Bob Saar and BlueSky Movie Music One man walks the highway Nowhere left to go Seeking what he hopes to find Down on Jesus Road Drinking on the highway Driving through the night Wonder if I'll stop to rest Or drift across the line Man stands in the headlights Pull over cause it's cold Mister can I ride with you a while Down on Jesus Road? Empties fill the front seat He climbs into the back I see his eyes in the rearview mirror Looking, smiling back He said one man walks the highway Nowhere else to go Teaching what he needs to learn Down on Jesus Road Friend what is your story Tell me what you know I left my life behind and ran Out on Jesus Road Well friend I am a teacher His eyes glow and they burn He whispers right up by my ear Teach what you need to learn Life's a mirror just for you Seek the dream you though you knew Only see what you believe You find exactly what you need A balance between love and pain Nothing given nothing gained Chase your fears, chase the wind You have your answer there within One man walks the highway One man walks the line One man seeks himself alone One man seeks the light Silence in the back seat I park beside the road Fall out and stumble in the ditch Down by Jesus Road Car door slams behind me Taillights fade away Nothing but that clinking sound And the words I heard him say Now one man walks the highway Nowhere left to go Seeking what he needs to find Down on Jesus Road |
