"It's Fine By Me"

her eyes are glowing in the dashboard lights
she wonders where you gonna drive her to
a one-light town and nothin' new
but the whole damn world feels down & out
and you feel it too
her eyes are weeping in the downtown lights
her skin is warm but she's as cold as ice
"all I know is that I just can't stay"
and the light turns red, light a cigarette
and she wants one too
ooo, it's fine by me
ooo, it's fine by me
her eyes are shining in the summer lights
her shoulders tan and her dress was white
come out wrong every word I say
and she run her hand through her hair
and then she walks away
ooo, it's fine by me
ooo, it's fine by me

"Shot To Hell"
written & performed by mark mitten
(C) 2016
making way for the desert wind
when summer's done the creek runs dry
polestar like a pinwheel
diamonds spin across the sky
never gonna see this place again
never gonna see this place again
all shot to hell just like jesse james
never gonna see this place again
weathered boards frame a holding pen
baling twine just to keep them in
bootheels on a hardwood floor
grab my hat and I'm out the door
never gonna see this place again
never gonna see this place again
all shot to hell just like jesse james
never gonna see this place again

"6000 Miles"
written & performed by mark mitten
(C) 2016
And you wonder why, in this pale blue sky
there's 6000 miles of fence between me & you
and you wonder why, would I gamble the truth
when there's nothing to lose--why even have to choose?
And there's 6000 miles of fence between me & you (x2)
Give me two whiskey sours, I can pass the hours
there's a dead shine tonight
the ancients smile through their aspen eyes
for miles & miles I call from these adobe walls
and my sleeves catch fire from the muzzle blast
and my empty glass
CHORUS
Midnight light, desert & dune
a bottle of shooting stars
midnight light, desert & dune
a bottle of shooting stars

"Back to the Hills"
written & performed by mark mitten

There's a road that leads to Telluride
gravel pits and tramway lines
amethyst and golden wine
is she yours or is she mine
Back to the hills I mine, yeah
back to the hills I mine
I wander, wonder, lose my mind
back to the hills I mine
Trace the curves along her spine
meadows unto timberline
turquoise eyes reflect the light
is she real or in my mind
Back to the hills I mine, yeah
back to the hills I mine
I wander, wonder, lose my mind
back to the hills I mine
mmm...mmmm...
Water trickles, tallow burns
break my back and never learn
world is hollow like an urn
close your eyes, ain't your concern...(no, mmm)
Back to the hills I mine, yeah
back to the hills I mine
I wander, wonder, lose my mind
back to the hills...
Back to the hills I mine
I mine
mmm...mmmm...
