| Album | Twenty Years and Change |
| 作词 : Raye | |
| Jim played piano in a band called 'Angry Witness' | |
| Out to fight the system in the fall of '81 | |
| Like all his friends he felt peace | |
| Could we have for the askin' | |
| It was just a matter of convincing the old ones | |
| They broke up on John and Yoko's anniversary | |
| Went seperate ways like most bands do | |
| Same ol' frustration when they saw | |
| The times were not a-changin' | |
| Jim warmed up to the cold hard truth | |
| Jim plays piano, a simple weekend warrior | |
| At a cosy little mad spot just a few blocks from his home | |
| He wakes up every mornin', has breakfast with his children | |
| Sweet wife smilin' at him, thinks how good my life's become | |
| This past Thursday was their 14th anniversary | |
| Owned their own sweet home since '92 | |
| Monday through Firday | |
| He sells those new lots off the highway | |
| Wreith on the door, Red, White and Blue | |
| Sometimes he wonders how did one man get so lucky | |
| And what happend to his anger and his vow to heal the world | |
| In just over two decades he has watched the earth revolvin' | |
| Now just simple problem solvin', twenty years and change | |
| How long did I love you before my heart stopped breakin' | |
| Since the night I stood there shakin' when you ran out of my life | |
| Now I think it's time I told you, even if you show no interest | |
| How I came to feel forgiveness and finally set things right | |
| It was twenty years, two months and five day this December | |
| You wiped your shoes off on my heart | |
| Hard to be realistic to betray a kid so idealistic | |
| Flames of faith put out in the dark | |
| Then one cold mornin' a real live frosty Friday | |
| I turned to the pain beside me and I realized it was gone | |
| I tore up all your pictures, never thinkin you might find me | |
| Time to put that junk behind me and wonder why it took so long | |
| Now here you stand on what would be our anniversay | |
| Tellin' me how tough life's been on you | |
| No satisfaction for I realized we've lost all attraction | |
| Movin' on is all that's left to do | |
| God, I feel so foolish for what seemed so devastatin' | |
| And the love I had for hatin', was a tragic waste of time | |
| Somehow I feel like laughin' with that free weight lifted from me | |
| Oh, how wisdom does become me | |
| Twenty years and change |
