How many miles is it to Mars Who was the 23rd president What's the most popular color car How many yen is fifty cents Where can I find the best burger in town What time does traffic here settle down And how many ways can you see The forest for the trees Who is the oldest living person How deep is the deepest sea Do things get bad or do they worsen What won the Oscar in '83 Where can I find the best burger in town What time does traffic here settle down And how many ways can you see The forest for the trees What's the population of Amsterdam Why don't penguins know how to fly When should I use "miss" or "mam" What do I wear when it says "black tie" Where can I find the best burger in town What time does traffic here settle down And how many ways can you see The forest for the trees

Rich, poor, black, white Everyone in between Strangers in a sorry plight Friends and family America, America We’re all, we’re all America America, America A home for you and me Left, right, right, left Anywhere you stand Go ahead, stand on your head You’re still part of this land America, America We’re all, we’re all America America, America A home for you and me Good, bad, us, them Language that we use But as we know, the saying goes Labels are for cans of soup America, America We’re all, we’re all America America, America A home for you and me America, America A home for you and me

Clown (Demo) 03:42
Today I’ve got things to do I’m going down to earn a few Spend a little on my lady She’s been waiting on me so long To get my head straight I’m a clown I make her laugh sometimes I bring her down Today I will call my sister Tell her how much I do miss her Thank her for the birthday wishes I listened but I still don’t know why I didn’t answer I’m a clown I make her laugh sometimes I bring her down Today I will make you proud I’ll be someone you talk about To all of your friends at work And anyone you know and ever will I’m a clown I make you laugh sometimes I bring you down

Cardboard sign I know too well “Homeless, out of work, anything helps” Easier to tell myself, She’s probably ok And she’ll be there when I come back And tomorrow morning and the day after that So I give myself a pass And drive away Then one day bleeds into the next Now all I see is a roadside object There’s a car pulled over on the interstate I should stop, but it’s cold and late Besides you just never know these days It’s a mad world Then one day bleeds into the next Now all I see are roadside objects Now I’ve got my kid in the backseat We catch a red light and who should we meet my son’s too young to read He smiles and waves He smiles and waves Smiles and waves

Hold me, love 'Cause I haven't been loved that much Feed me, clothe me 'Cause I haven't quite had that touch Just please don't leave me here the way I am I hate to beg for help, but I know you can All I want is the love that I've never had Daddy left me For the bottle of empty pride Mommy still follows him And holds him to her side So please don't leave me here the way I am I hate to beg for help, but I know you can All I want is the love that I've never had Abrazame, amame, No habia amado mucho Aliméntame, vísteme No es sentido ese toque So please don't leave me here the way I am I hate to beg for help, but I know you can All I want is the love that I've never had That's all I want Just the love that I've never had

about

Aaron Espe Nashville, Tennessee

I'm probably what Bob Ross would sound like if he'd been a singer-songwriter. Calming, positive music with a hint of sadness.
