Lawson and Disorder gives three exceptional musicians with diverse talents the opportunity to coalesce around a single purpose: the artful interpretation of great songs, both new and old. They perform a deliciously eclectic mix of cover tunes from the likes of The Band, Tim O'Brien, Hank Williams, and Michael Jerling, some swing standards, plus some fine Lawson originals which nicely complement the covers, both in lyrical content and musical style.

Lyrics
Second Thoughts Larry Lawson You sure have a great life, Flyin' around wherever you please, But I'm just stuck here in the ground; I never get around To see the sights or soar the heights the way that you do. Every year the same old thing--a new green suit in spring-- Just once you'd think I'd get the chance to try something in blue. You sure must be happy. I fly south every winter-- Five thousand miles and then back every spring. Soon as I hit town I have to run around And search all over for the twigs and bits of string and paper. Up before the sun and always eating on the run, I never get the chance to take a little breather. You don't even know me. Why don't we trade places? I'd surely be happier then. But then I'd never see the snow so pure and white That rests so gently every winter all along my branches. And I would never know the freedom I have found While floating all alone upon the wind above the clouds. On second thought, I'll just stay here. On second thought, see you next year. I'll just stay here. See you next I'll just stay See you next year.
