DOWN THE RIVER OF LOVE 4:47
By Erick Hovey
Out on the prairie where the tall grass grew
Broke out the plow but nobody knew
The wind came up, the rain came down
Black gold movin all around
Blowin, flowin
CHORUS:
Down the river of love (3times)
The woman died left me all alone
Laid her to rest in the shiftin ground
The wind came up, the rain came down
She rode the Mississippi to the cold dead zone
Blowin, flowin
CHORUS:
It’s the middle of the day and its dark outside
The cold winds, blowin dust in my eyes
Cry for loss, of love and land
The snows turn black and melt to sand
Blowin, flowin
CHORUS: (Repeat 8 times)

Come on baby, walk with me
The sky is fallin, well come and see
Tonight it’s rainin stars on you and me
CHORUS:
A fool like me, likes a fool like you
A fool like me, crazy bout a fool like you
Don’t know why but I just can’t help myself
Champagne highways, in the sky
Chocolate moonbeams, and pulsar pie
It’s rainin down on fools like you and I

FATALISTIC BLUES 2:14
By Erick Hovey
Doctor said now you slow down
Your ways are gonna put you in the ground
But I don’t care, do it if you love it
Moderation and a whole lot of it
CHORUS:
Hey doctor, (doctor doctor), hey doctor,( doctor doctor)
I’m gonna live for the moment, till I have to go
Oh don’t eat this now don’t eat that
Don’t drink so much now loose that fat
CHORUS:
I’m gonna filter my air through a cigerette
Trade my water for a barrel of Jack
Eat what I want sleep when I can
Die an early death like a natural man
CHORUS:
Can ya drink the water, can ya breath the air
I don’t know, and I don’t care
CHORUS:
I say hey doctor, doctor doctor, hey doctor, doctor doctor
Hey doctor, doctor doctor, hey doctor, doctor doctor
Gonna live for the moment, till I have to go
Gonna live for the moment, till I have to go
I’m gonna live for the moment, till I have to go

DEVIL IN MY POCKET 2:46
By Erick Hovey
I got a devil in my pocket, got an angel in there too (2 times)
Ya know sometimes baby, just don’t know what to do
I try to do right, I end up doin wrong (2 times)
Leave home with an angel, that old devil tags along
I wake up every morning, intendin to be good
The devil comes to visit me, now I’m misunderstood
I got a devil in my pocket, an angel in there too
Sometimes baby, I just don’t know what to do
I try to do right, doin wrong feels so good (2 times)
Ya know I get real happy, when I aint doin what I should
The devil tell me one thing, the angel tell me too
They can’t agree on what it is I’m supposed to do
I got a devil in my pocket, I got an angel in there
That old devil get his way when I, see a sweet sweet thing like you

BONDO BONDO 3:31
By Erick Hovey
Drivin around in my automobile
Checkin history in the rear view mirror
A ton of steel and power to spare
Doin 60 in second gear
Bondo, bondo putty and tar
Makin up half of my rusty car
Gimme the title and gimme the keys
Put in the gas and I’ll pay the fees
The shocks are gone and the tires bare
I got no heat and I got no air
CHORUS:
Bondo bondo putty and tar
Makin up half of my beautiful car
I gotta tell ya just how I feel
I just love my automobile
My old car means a lot to me
Behind the wheel when I turn that key
I can see the road right through the floor
Ya know the light stays off when you open the door

Erick Hovey and Friends Fort Dodge, Iowa
Erick Hovey's music is peppered with seasonings of blues, roots rock, jazz, funk, old power trio rock, reggae, and newer folk fusion styles. His lyrical content has not only good humored nods towards classic blues and rock clichés’, but spans the afterlife, and existentialism as well. Sometimes it’s spooky, sometimes it’s raw, spiritual, and sensual. Think Mark Knopfler, JJ Cale, and Peter Green. ... more
