LONG ROAD HOME

 
It’s been a long road, trying to get back home
It’s been a long road, travelin’ alone
I left my home and family to chase a dream
Thinking life would be better if I had  everything…….fit for a king

It’s been a long road, trying to get back home
It’s been a long road, travelin’ alone
I heard that the money’s greener on the other side,
I lost everything I had on the roll of the dice…..,Now I’m paying the price
BREAK  
Well I lost everything that I had on  the roll of the dice
Threw them down and was looking at a pair of snake eyes
Lord have mercy it rocked me to my soul
Now I’m praying to  God on way back home

It’s been a long road, trying to get back home
It’s been a long road, travelin’ alone
Trying to get back home….Trying to get back home…Trying to get back home

JUMBY BLUES

I need a hideaway, where I can go 
bury all my troubles, ease my tainted soul
I been runnin’ from something I don’t know  
Could be a jumby in the shadows

Big Mama told me “get some jimson weed 
garlic and honey, and brew a potion tea”
Don’t be running from something you don’t know 
Gotta scare that jumby from the shadows

Break

My doctor he told me It’s all in your head
Here’s my prescription, spend a week in bed
Cause when you’re running, you’re running from yourself 
It’s all in your head so think of something else

Preacher man preached, “I know what you need
Here’s a Holy Bible, I think you better read”
Don’t be runnin’ from something you don’t know 
You can beat the jumby if you pray it from your soul

He comes from a deep black hole in the ground slithers across your yard without a sound

Eat lots of garlic and he’ll  stop the chase you may lose some friends but you’ll be safe

SECRETS

You  say you got no secrets, nothing to conceal                                                    
Somewhere the grapevine leaked it, the conspiracy is real
 
You’ve got a way...
                     
Of covering up and telling big ol’ lies… Secrets
          
Whoo Hoo Hoo …. Secrets….Whoo Hoo Hoo

You’re  acting oh so innocent, when you’re on TV, 
                                                  
but the case is clearly evident  There’s...corruption in the first degree
                   
You’ve got a way...
                                                
Of covering up and telling big ol’ lies… Secrets
Whoo Hoo Hoo …. Secrets….Whoo Hoo Hoo

You say you’re helping the people, with policies you make,                                               
But all men are not equal and we know you’re on the take
                  
 You’ve got a way...
                                            
Of covering up and telling big ol’ lies Secrets

Whoo Hoo Hoo …. Secrets….Whoo Hoo Hoo
 

RED HOT MAMA

 
Red hot mama ooh you’re looking fine
Red hot mama ooh you’re looking fine

Let’s have a party I’ll bring a bottle of wine 

Your dad is working  your mom’s at the five and dime
Your dad is working  your mom’s at the five and dime

When the fox is in the hen house he can have a real good time.
I got something just for you, a hot red bike that’s built for two. 
We’ll pedal all around  on a sunny day we’ll cool off in the shade, 
in the old hayloft yonder by the apple tree

BBQ BOB

If you see a black cloud in the sky, it ain’t gonna rain I’ll tell you why... 

   BBWQBob is firing up his grill                                   

He’s got the best ribs in town
 people come from miles around
   to grab a slab and get their fill
                                        
Well I asked him for his recipe
he seemed annoyed but smiled at me
 tipped back his flask and took another sip…
                                                                                      
He said it’s all here in my head
 I’m taking it with me when I’m dead
but I’ll leave you with a tip…
        
You gotta cook em low and slow
   
You gotta use real black coal

Don’t do it for money, cause when you  feed the hungry… 
 you’ll feed your soul

BREAK..........

BBQ Bob’s is grilling’ away. You can find him on a sunny day…just look for that one black cloud overhead
He’s doing what he Loves to do; making people happy with his food, I remember what he said

You gotta cook em low and slow
   
You gotta use real black coal

Don’t do it for money, cause when you  feed the hungry… 
 you’ll feed your soul

 

It's All About The Money

 
It’s all about the money
It’s all about the money
From Wall Street down to Main  You’ll lose more than you’ll gain 
 When they sell you in a lie, and bleed your future dry it’s all about

It’s all about the money
It’s all about the money

The poor man goes to jail,   no money to pay his bail
The rich man drinks his wine, while the poor man does the time

It’s all about the money
It’s all about the money

Big pharma’s got a brand new pill  Guaranteed to cure all ills
Side effects are bad, so they’ll sell you pill for that!

It’s all about the money
It’s all about the money

THE HENCHMAN

Someone’s bustin’ in my door
The henchman’s  here...

The firepower’s in my hands it’s
Faith or fear…

They’re stealin’ all I’ve got... so I’ll take another shot
Right between the lies... and demons in disguise

I know….the smiles they fake...the laws they break ......the souls they take

My bullets are my prayers...My bullets are my prayers...My bullets are my prayers…

Someon’e bustin’ in my door
The henchman’s  here...

He’s got a warrant to search my soul
And take control...

They’re stealin’ all I’ve got... so I’ll take another  shot
Right between the lies... and demons in disguise

I know….the smiles they fake...the laws they break ......the souls they take

My bullets are my prayers...My bullets are my prayers...My bullets are my prayers…

SHADES

I put in my shades when you smile at me
I’m wearing’ my shadeswhen you smile at me

Woman your smile is so bright

You got me floating like a balloon up high
Oh you got me floating like a balloon up high

Woman you make my heart sing
Everytime you pull my string

WARM & COZY

Clock won’t stop ringin’; it’s hurting my head
All I wanna do is lay right here in bed
MmmHmm  Right here with you

Early Monday morning, got a busy week
I just want to chill out & catch up on some sleep
MmmHmm  Right here with you

CHORUS:
Warm and Cozy snuggling up with you
Warm and cozy that’s all I wanna do
Come on and hold me tighter, baby don’t let me loose

BREAK

Ooh ooh your touch, your beautiful hair
Babe it’s just enough, to make me stay right here

Warm and Cozy snuggling up with you
Warm and cozy that’s all I wanna do

I turned off my cell phone, all those calls can wait
If I don’t go to work, you know I won’t be late!
I just wanna be right here

Warm and Cozy snuggling up with you
Warm and cozy that’s what I wanna do
Warm & Cozy feel your magic touch
(C’mon) Put me in a leg lock & pull them covers up…

Arsonist

 
I thought I found true love, many times before…  
I made myself a promise, there would be no more…
Then you came along and opened up the door…

Ooh you arsonist you set my heart on fire
Ooh you arsonist you set my heart on fire

I was sick and tired of, playing stupid games
I never thought that true love would ever come again…

Then you came along and started up the flame

Ooh you arsonist you set my heart on fire
Ooh you arsonist you set my heart on fire

BREAK .,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You got me burning….feel a fever on the rise
You got me smokin’ melting like a piece of ice

Ooh you arsonist you set my heart on fire
Ooh you arsonist you set my heart on fire
      

Champagne Taste, Beer Budget

Oh shoot it’s the end of the month; so soon the end of the month
Got so many darn bills to pay
I toss ‘‘em all into a hat, shake ‘‘em up just like that; draw one name and that lucky dog gets paid!

I’m on a beer budget with champagne taste, caviar, a jet set pace          
Got a lovely lady she likes nice things I bought her a new diamond ring
Goodbye money… the eagle flies away….

My car broke down and my rent is due, been spending money like a fool
I guess you could say i got the cordon’ blues
We all work hard just to survive, too many fingers in the pie, everybody want to take my slice

I’m on a beer budget with champagne taste, caviar, a jet set pace  
I know I can get the time for free, but I bought a gold watch just for me
Goodbye money… the eagle flies away….

The IRS kicked in my door, I paid my tax but they still want more
I said “ take it all nothings really mine”
 Saving money’s too darn hard I put it all on my credit cards,
Time to take those banks for a ride. Let’s go!

I’m on a beer budget with champagne taste, caviar, a jet set pace 
I’m takin’ my vacation in Belize, spending money like it grows on trees,
Goodbye money… the eagle flies away….

If You Love Someone

 
We were friends for years, through laughter and some tears, 
played guitars, making up our songs
I was not ready at all, when I got that call 
telling me my best friend was gone
      
Time is rolling on but I’m still holding on to a moment that is gone…
              
If you love someone don’t hesitate…
If you love someone, tell them today…
Tomorrow is too…..morrow is too…morrow is too…far away 

The picture you sent, in your last text 
was beautiful, a flower in full bloom
It reminds me of you simple and true
Oh I miss you, you left this earth too soon

Time is rolling on but I’m still holding on to a moment that is gone…
              
If you love someone don’t hesitate…
If you love someone, tell them today…
Tomorrow is too…..morrow is too…morrow is too…far away 

Angels Walking

There are angels all around…some are walking on the ground
No reason to fly ...troubles are nigh
                                                             
In hard times you may find…the angel within you may shine
You’re needed right here…To help ease the fear

Ahhh    Ahhh   Ahhh… Ahhh     Ahhh   Ahhh      Ahhh    Ahhh    Ahhh
                                                                                  A
Help somebody if you can…Brothers sisters understand
There’s people in need…Don’t let them bleed
                                                                       
Kindness like a river flows, to wash away what darkness throes.
There’s people of light in the dark of the night

 F#m       A         E         F#m        A       E           F#m      A        E    
Ahhh    Ahhh   Ahhh… Ahhh     Ahhh   Ahhh      Ahhh    Ahhh    Ahhh

START AGAIN

Oh how time goes by so fast
Wishing those good old days would last

Sitting here feeling all alone
All the birds in this nest have flown

The dolls are in their boxes
The top no longer spins
The rocking horse ain’t rockin
And the sailboat’s lost it’s wind
Oh how I wish...we could start again

Looking at the pictures on my wall
The smiles on their faces says it all
I pour myself another cup of tea
Thinking ‘bout those sweet memories

The dolls are in their boxes
The top no longer spins
The rocking horse ain’t rockin
And the sailboat’s lost it’s wind

Oh how I wish...we could start again
Oh how I wish...we could start again

Every Sailor Knows

 
I will be your sailor in the seas of change
A chance for you to rest and dry off from the rain
I'll mend your tattered sails and steer you to the shore 
Where we’ll find shelter, away from the storm

Every Sailor Knows, when you cut the line you’ll drift into the tide
no destination known
But if we set our sails when the North Wind blows Every Sailor Knows.., Our love will prevail

Like a pirate on the ocean you stole my heart away
I was drifting into nowhere on a lonely day
Now I don’t need a map to search for paradise
The beauty’s all around, the treasures in your eyes

Every Sailor Knows, when you cut the line you’ll drift into the tide
no destination known
But if we set our sails when the North Wind blows Every Sailor Knows.., Our love will prevail

BOOKER T

Clothes in hand 
He made his plan
 West Virginia bound
Booker T 
Was finally free
They could not keep him down
                 
The wheels were turning when he jumped off the train
His fire kept burning in the pouring rain
He took a broom 
and swept the room
That’s how he passed the test
Excelled  in school 
Made it through 
He soared above the rest
          
The wheels were turning when he jumped off the train
His fire kept burning in the pouring rain
