Cheap

Just off of work
She’s tired and bummed
Been waiting a while to get real numb
She meets a man
He’s six-foot-three
She’s says she’s Cheap, but far from free
He says “oh, Mama let it go”
Now, she’s on her knees
Boy, don’t touch me please
She hums an old song when time gets long
She’s thinking of moments and she’s dreaming about times
It’s been twelve long years since she’s felt fine
He says “oh, Mama let it go”
On a bus ride to some place, she’s gonna pick up her life and
get things straight
Strolls into a bar about ten-to-two
Stays til she’s drunk or when there’s something to do
Local man say can I buy you a drink
City drunk says what do you think
Picks her up and takes her outside gazes at her like she’s one big prize
She says “Mama didn’t teach me much about men, Papa didn’t have much time to spend”
He says “oh, Mama let it go”

Drivin' Out

Driving out
Heading for the West Coast
Got my big thick novel and a pocket of momentoes
Set upon a County far from Kings
I don’t own any pictures
I’m betting on my dreams
Just singing Lalalalalala
Just singing Lalalalalala
Saw a sunset
First one in my life
Twenty-four years, hit with a mortgage and a wife
So, I’m driving driving driving
Gonna keep on driving drviing drviving
...and I’ll call you back when I like
Just singing Lalalalalala
Just singing Lalalalalala
And I can’t remember how I got a along with you
Though it’s coming on September, I can’t say “I’ll see you soon”
So, Izobel
Won’t you take this down
I got a brand new number: 40 miles from town
So, Izobel
Won’t you take this down
I got a brand new number: 1,000 miles from town
I got a brand new number
I got a brand new number
I got a brand new number

Be Mine

Stand outside of your front door
Hold my breath and a rose for sure
We drove downtown the following day
Played Dave and there you lay
I wait one day for you
No, i’ll wait some years for you
I’ll keep my soul in stride
Til the day you will say
You are mine
So, I smile with my mouth to the floor
Hold my nerves and your ring for sure
As you walk down this road today
You can turn to me and say it’s okay
I vow this day for you
No, I vow my life for you
I will weep til my soul runs dry
Cause today you will say
You are mine

You’ll keep your heart in focus spite yearning for a soul
But I’ll be here for as long as you don’t go

So I give you today
But you’ll beg for more tomorrow
With that tone that you play we won’t last a day
Or keep us far from sorrow
So just turn down your might
Rest your head along my back
And I’ll steer your clear have no worry or fear
Oh my lady, I’m never away
You’re the Judge & the Jury
The young belle with fury
You’ll have a man with only a sigh
He’ll change dreams forever to make him seem better
Oh Meagan, I won’t ask you why
I get you more than the chill in my spine
Measure past what he left behind
And it’s more than you love me or more than you ought to
Sound the souls
You’re the Judge & the Jury
The young belle with fury
You’ll have a man with only a sigh
He’ll change dreams forever to make him seem better
Oh Meagan, I won’t ask you why

Sam McTavey EP
by Sam and the Extinction
Sam's voice just puts me in a great mood. Whether I'm at one of his live shows or playing his tunes on my headphones, I'm fortunate to be a peer in his musical world. Get ready to feel comfortable.
