CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
(Williams/ Bogdan)
V-1
This is my first Christmas without you
Your presence is felt everywhere
You were the joy in every child’s eye
Christmas cheer filling December air
I’m trying my best to be happy
‘cause I know you’d want it that way
As long as you live in my heart
We’re together on each Christmas Day
CHORUS
Have a Merry Christmas in Heaven
Are the gold covered streets lined with snow
Do you sing in a choir of angels
Singing songs we sang long ago
Does Santa Claus visit Heaven
Do you help decorate a tree
I’ll be searching for you among the stars
But my heart is where you will be
V-2
From the warmth of our love that we shared
Shines a light that shows me the way
To get though memories of Christmas
And countless other holidays
There are times I still feel you with me
Your warmth makes me feel all aglow
From the smile on my face to the joy in my heart
You are still as one with my soul
CHORUS
Have a Merry Christmas in Heaven
Are the gold covered streets lined with snow
Do you sing in a choir of angels
Singing songs we sang long ago
Does Santa Claus visit Heaven
Do you help decorate a tree
I’ll be searching for you among the stars
But my heart is where you will be
Bridge
It’s Christmas morning and a deep blue sky, greets me stepping outside
I listen to a far off sound, the sound of an angel’s sigh
Then I hear a song from far, far above, the voice familiar and clear
An angel in white in the cold morning light, watching over me down here
REPEAT CHORUS
SOUTHERN BBQ
We were on the road to Jacksonville
On the way to do another show
We rode that highway all night long
Now we only had an hour to go
We came upon a lil' roadside bar
We decided to down a few shots
With the southern sun shinin' bright
We said let's party in the parking lot
A convertible of hot girls pulled up
Even the gators ran out of the swamps
We pulled our guitars off the bus
And siad boys it's time to chomp
CHORUS
Crankin' that southern fried rock and roll
What else is a southern boy to do
We threw some burgers on the grill
Had ourselves a southern barbeque
Lovely ladies and the best of friends
Of course Plenty of ice cold brew
Soaking up those southern rays
Rocking out with a southern barbeque
Oh yeah crank it up
Crank it way up
Ol Angie was sure partying hard
Zip was trying to get her out of her shirt
(But) when she started dancing with a gator
We were afraid she was gonna get hurt
Brad came riding in on his Harley
He said a spirit told him to come
We all just bout passed cleaned out
When he said Texas is where he's from
Gary Jeffries came and hit the stage
All the gators were goin' wild
Beautiful women kept a comin' in
We had one hell raisin' crowd
CHORUS
Crankin' that southern fried rock and roll
What else is a southern boy to do
We threw some burgers on the grill
Had ourselves a southern barbeque
Lovely ladies and the best of friends
Of course Plenty of ice cold brew
Soaking up those southern rays
Rocking out with a southern barbeque
Oh yeah crank it up
Crank it way up
guitar
CHORUS
Crankin' that southern fried rock and roll
What else is a southern boy to do
We threw some burgers on the grill
Had ourselves a southern barbeque
Lovely ladies and the best of friends
Of course Plenty of ice cold brew
Soaking up those southern rays
Rocking out with a southern barbeque
Oh yeah crank it up
Crank it way up

THE WAY I LIKE IT
(Williams/Scarboro)
She big booty
A red hot white dream
Double ultra kinky
Covered in whipped cream
I don't say a word
That girl drops to her knees
The dart hits bullseye
When she aims to please
CHORUS
When something feels so good
There's no reason to quit
She knows what I like
That's the way I like it
My head is throbbing
I'm chomping at the bit
She knows what I like
That's the way I like it
A sexual daredevil
Not afraid to take a leap
It's third and long
I'm ready to go deep
Must be ESP
She can read my mind
They broke the mold
We're two of a kind
CHORUS
When something feels so good
There's no reason to quit
She knows what I like
That's the way I like it
My head is throbbing
I'm chomping at the bit
She knows what I like
That's the way I like it
BLOOD ON THE WALL
(Williams/ Scarboro)
There's blood on the walls of paradise
Something's gone horribly wrong
You can give someone everything (they want)
But they won't stay happy long
LIFT
There will always something more
There always has been and will be war
CHORUS
There's good and there's evil
The difference can be hard to tell
You think you're on the road to Heaven
Then you wind up at the gates of Hell
The battle of good and evil (leaves)
Blood on the wall
There's blood on the walls of paradise
The reasons that are given
Turn out to be a bunch of lies
Be careful who you trust
It could be the devil in disguise
LIFT
And the blood still flows
Be careful who you follow
CHORUS
There's good and there's evil
The difference can be hard to tell
You think you're on the road to Heaven
Then you wind up at the gates of Hell
The battle of good and evil (leaves)
Blood on the wall
There's blood on the walls of paradise
HEAVEN'S GATE
(Williams/ Cuff)
I placed the flowers on the grave
Of the dreams I couldn't save
Standing beside the love I made
I must face my Judgement Day
CHORUS
No time to wait tempting fate
By being late for Heaven's Gate
Nothing to say time slipping away
Can't be late for Heaven's Gate
As one life ends another begins
I must make amends for my sins
And when justice is finally served
We get the love we deserve
CHORUS
No time to wait tempting fate
By being late for Heaven's Gate
Nothing to say time slipping away
Can't be late for Heaven's Gate
BRIDGE
In the end
When all illusions are shattered
We will find
Love is the only thing that mattered
CHORUS
No time to wait tempting fate
By being late for Heaven's Gate
Nothing to say time slipping away
Can't be late for Heaven's Gate
PARADISE CLOSED
(Williams/ Scarboro)
The old man looked me in the eye
Said if you wanna find your paradise
Be warned that the road back to Eden
Is paved with pain and sacrifice
So I started out on my journey
At the crossroads made a wrong turn
I asked an angel for directions
She said you've got a lot to learn
In the distance I seen my destination
It was how I thought paradise would be
(but) When I knocked upon the door
They said “sorry son… no vacancy”
CHORUS
Whether you rule or serve
You get the love you deserve
That's just how it goes
For now, paradise is closed
(Paradise Closed)
I was shattered and disillusioned
An angel said it's not as bad as it seems
There isn't any law that says
You can't have more than one dream
he said I'm going to tell you a secret
You better believe this is true
If you can't find the answers you want
Sometimes they'll come to you
Just keep walking straight and proud
Always do the best that you can
There's always room in Heaven
For a honest and determined man
CHORUS
Whether you rule or serve
You get the love you deserve
That's just how it goes
For now, paradise is closed
(Paradise Closed)
WILD WOMAN BLUES
(Williams/ Beckley/ Scarboro)
My gal woke up this mornin'
Stumbled in at the crack of dawn
Smelling like a tequila
She been partyin' all night long
She was dressed like a stripper
Her tight shorts set on stun
She kept singing over and over
that girls just wanna have fun
CHORUS
Oh what can I do
Lord what can I do
She look so good
but got such a bad attitude
What can I do
Doctor, What can I do
Got a bad case
of the wild woman blues
She spends all of my money
Wolfs down all of my cold beer
She turns up that rap music
So loud it rattles my ears
But when it comes to making love
That girl is something else
She shakes the pictures off the wall
And the books right off the shelf
CHORUS
Oh what can I do
Lord what can I do
She look so good
but got such a bad attitude
What can I do
Doctor, What can I do
Got a bad case
of the wild woman blues

FULL GLASS
(Williams/ Scarboro)
Sooner or later everything ends
It’s hard to say goodbye
We can search forever for the answers
Without knowing reasons why
It’s hard stepping forward without you
Ain’t no way back to your heart
there’s no direction for me to turn
I’m feeling trapped
Been a long time
since I made a toast to you
I’m here all alone
I know when I’m through
This glass will be empty
But one day it will be full again
Tonight I’m drinking to the past
I’ll refill the empty glass
CHORUS
Gonna live
Want to drink life up
When the party’s over
Theer’s no need for a full glass
BRIDGE
Love is smooth going down
Take a drink and pass it around
I can’t stand to see you cry
But everything has it’s time
And it’s time for goodbye
So here’s to the future
One last toast to the past
Tomorrow’s a new bottle
Enjoy it as long as it lasts
CHORUS
Gonna live
Want to drink life up
When the party’s over
There’s no need for a full glass
Gonna live
Want to drink life up
When the party’s over
There’s no need for a full glass
REPO MAN
(Williams/ Scarboro)
Ya wanna play then ya gotta pay
Or I'll be coming to take it all away
By the time you see me coming
It's already way too late
I 'm sneaking around in the night
Or at your door in broad daylight
I'm a man with a job to do
Just be sure I'm coming for you
CHORUS
tracking like a bounty hunter
Finding you anyway I can
Ain't no way to shake me
Can't fool the repo man
I'm the repo man, baby
You can't run you can't hide
Can't lock your door and stay inside
I don't forgive, I don't forget
Sooner or later I'll get ya
I'm always on the prowl
Gonna surprise you somehow
I'm out here doing all I can
You can't out run the repo man
CHORUS
tracking like a bounty hunter
Finding you anyway I can
Ain't no way to shake me
Can't fool the repo man
I'm the repo man, baby
THE STRIP BAR SONG (PUT IT BACK ON)
(Williams/ Jones)
Me and the boys were heading out
soon as Paul got in the car
he started screaming his head off
wanting to go a strip bar
now just between you and me
that's what we wanted to hear
because I know me and the fellas
have nuttin' against tiities and beer
so we drank a few rounds at Jakes
then we went to the Fox's Den
we started screaming "take it off" as soon as we stumbled in
then this big ol' stripper got on stage
and started taking off her shirt
big ol' boobies flying everywhere
I was afraid someone'd get hurt
CHORUS:
we started yelling
Put it back on please put it back on
I love naked women but this is just wrong
put it back on
please cover your belly
your dancing and prancin'
has you shaking like a bowl of jelly
please put it back on
we all began to holler
put it back on and the whole bar'll give ya a dollar
please put it back on
it was gettin' pretty darn scary
I was beginning to fear
that there was a pretty good chance
that I'd throw up all of my beer
I looked at the big ol' bouncer
all he could do was agree
this ol' girl needed a gym membership
it was plain for everyone to see
CHORUS:
we started yelling
Put it back on please put it back on
I love naked women but this is just wrong
put it back on
please cover your belly
your dancing and prancin'
has you shaking like a bowl of jelly
please put it back on
we all began to holler
put it back on and the whole bar'll give ya a dollar
please put it back on
I looked at them titties
all I could see
two big ol' missles heading right at me
one swung from the left
one swung from the right
when they hit from both sides
I was out like a light
CHORUS:
we started yelling
Put it back on please put it back on
I love naked women but this is just wrong
put it back on
please cover your belly
your dancing and prancin'
has you shaking like a bowl of jelly
please put it back on
we all began to holler
put it back on and the whole bar'll give ya a dollar
please put it back on
FREAK SHOW
(Williams/ Scarboro)
You thought you had this beast caged
Ain't parading me around on your (little) stage
You knew I'd escape as soon as I was able
Not branding me with your freak label
CHORUS
Freak after freak will come and go
I'm not starrin' in your freak show
Bustin' out getting ready to roll
Getting away from this freak show
sick and tired of this freak show
your freak show
Ain't taking any more of the crap your giving
Made a clean break I'm gonna start living
Tired of nothing around here making sense
I'm ripping right through your circus tent
CHORUS
Freak after freak will come and go
I'm not starrin' in your freak show
Bustin' out getting ready to roll
Getting away from this freak show
sick and tired of this freak show
your freak show
BRIDGE
sooner or later
everything ends
comes a time when
you'll answer for your sins
CHORUS
Freak after freak will come and go
I'm not starrin' in your freak show
Bustin' out getting ready to roll
Getting away from this freak show
sick and tired of this freak show
your freak show
ALLIGATOR BREW
(Williams/ Scarboro)
ALLIGATOR BREW
When the motherchompers found me
I was playing at the Swamplands bar
They said they never seen a gator
That could drink beer or play a guitar
Well, the next thing that I knew
Here comes these big ol' guys in suits
They said you better sign this contract
Or we're gonna turn you into boots
CHORUS
I just keep chompin' on
That's all a poor gator can to do
Singing and drinking Crocweiser
Yep, drinking that alligator Brew
makes me an alligator stewed
I'll make it through
drinking that Alligator Brew
So I'm out here on tour
This is one gator you can't cage
I get all the free Crocweiser I can drink
As long as I'm rocking on stage
I live for southern fried rock
I'm ready to kick some swamp
Cold Crocweiser and hot women
Gives this gator a reason to chomp
CHORUS
I just keep chompin' on
That's all a poor gator can to do
Singing and drinking Crocweiser
Yep, drinking that alligator Brew
makes me an alligator stewed
I'll make it through
drinking that Alligator Brew
CHORUS
I just keep chompin' on
That's all a poor gator can to do
Singing and drinking Crocweiser
Yep, drinking that alligator Brew
makes me an alligator stewed
I'll make it through
drinking that Alligator Brew

PULL NO PUNCHES
(Westwood/ Williams/ Scarboro)
Got our work done under the southern sun
Our last night "fore headin' fer home
Thirsty as hell left my car at the hotel
Walked to the bar alone
Wasn't doing any harm felt a tugging on my arm
It was some 300 pound dude
He had Trouble on his mind, and I ain't the fightin' kind
But one thing I've learned for sure
If you throw the first punch you will be out to lunch
if your target dont hit the floor
LIFT:
When you're out on your own
And a long way from home
Try to talk your way out
But if trouble comes down
you got to
CHORUS
Pull no punches
When your back's to the wall
Do what ya gotta do
you got to Pull no punches
just push your way through
Felt his bad breath was scared to death
The stink bout knocked me off the stool
I made a quick wish, then clenched my fist
and prayed that my aim was true
I figued one shot, was all I got
But then I hit him with my beer bottle too
I think I yelled timber,really don't remember
So call it a case of hit and run
LIFT:
When you're out on your own
And a long way from home
Try to talk your way out
But if trouble comes down
you got to
CHORUS
A SONG FOR A FRIEND (Becky) new tune - unreleased
(Williams/ Scarboro)
I tried calling the other day, but I guess you moved away
This number's been disconnected, is all the operator would say
You said I was trying to save you, but really I needed you to save me
I'm sending this song into the wind, and I hope it finds my best friend
I miss you, Becky
It seems like we were friends forever, (but) just like that we drifted apart
Though I feel incomplete, I know your happy wherever you are
I was hoping I was your soul mate, but I guess you found your true destiny
So I'm sending this song into the wind, hoping it finds my best friend
I miss you, Becky
Maybe somewhere out there, wherever you may be
You'll hear these words floating in the (autumn) breeze
And if I did anything wrong, I want you to know that I'm sorry
I'm just sending this song into the wind, hoping it finds my best friend
I miss you, I still love you Becky
SKIN IT BACK : new tune (unreleased)
(Williams/ Scarboro)
Gotta jump back baby
Givin' me them delta blues
Teasin' ain't a good thang
My salvation's over due
Gonna come for ya harder
Rolling up my sleeves
Grab me some mojo
Just what I need
CHORUS
Skin it back, baby
Skin it back to the bone
Give me just a lil' bit
Tired of feelin' so damn low
Style comes from the city
Wisdom is from the country
Ain't been much of either
Coming lately for me
your looking so sexy
My whiskey's 'bout gone
Give me the green light
Been in the dark too long
CHORUS
BRIDGE
givin' me swamp fever
all the way down
all the way down
to my cajun soul
CHORUS

SWAMP JUSTICE
©David Williams/ John WestwoodAPRA/ Dave Scarboro
We lived in the bayou
always walking tall
living by our family creed
The bible was our law
When someone did our family wrong
The book said take an eye
When the wrong was bad enough
the guilty 's gonna die
CHORUS
Dir.....tee water
cleans away the crime
Swaaaamp justice
Forgiveness means they gave an eye for an eye
A big shot from the city
Came out back of town to play
Came across my sister
Decided to have his way
Daddy and his brother
found out what he'd done
went to see him with a hunting knife
and talk about his FUN
CHORUS
Dir.....tee water
cleans away the crime
Swaaaamp justice
Forgiveness means he gave an eye for an eye
br
Now it dont take much
to figger what went down
Aint no sign of thatcity man
none the sheriffs ever has found
No one ever mentions it
But there's talk around the town
Justice was served that day
As the dirty water sucked him down
CHORUS
Dir.....tee water
cleans away the crime
Swaaaamp justice
Forgiveness means they paid an eye for an eye
GUNFIRE IN HAZARD
(Williams/ Westwood/ Scarboro)
They came (down) from Detroit
To spread their poison 'round
Drugs from the inner city
Spread across our mountain town
(I guess) I looked the other way
Until they hooked onto my son
The day I buried him
I loaded up my guns
PRECHORUS
There's gunfire in Hazard
(I'm )Waging my own war
Look closely at your children
That's who I'm fighting for
CHORUS
gotta stop the poison spreading
got to take back our hometown
gotta stop the poison spreading
gotta send those bastards down
there's gunfire in hazard
They say a guitly conscience
Put this gun into my hand
when I took kill'd a couple dealers
I became the wanted man
No matter what I do
It won't bring my boy back
When dealers move in to our town
I ain't standing back ....anymore
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
HANGING JUDGE
(Williams/Scarboro)
Killed a man in Texas
Shot him with his own gun
Didn't want to explain
Just took off on the run
Between a hero and a sinner
There lies a very fine line
Law ain't always justice
Ain't waiting for a judge to decide
CHORUS
Ain't facing no hanging judge
Ain't no such thing as self defense
Only one place for me to go
On my way to Mexico
When I look in the mirror
I'll see an innocent man
But if I'm wrongly convicted
Lord, Will heaven understand ?
It ain't the way it seems
Things ain't always how it looks
ain't no explaining to this town
(that) the sherriff's brother was a crook
CHORUS
MR BOUNCER
© 2006 David Williams/Chesty Frank
I didn’t mean to hurt no one
Mr Bouncer, please let me go
My cold beers’ on the bar
Getting’ warm, don’t you know
But that boy deserved what he got
Notice he wudn’t surprised
He was touching my beautiful woman
So I touched’em between his eyes
CHORUS
Mr Bouncer,
A man with southern pride
Always knocks down the hound dog
Looking for a free ride
So I gave him a lift
Right through that ol’ door
Mr Bouncer
He aint comin back no more
Come on Mr Bouncer
You know how this goes
A man with a good looking woman
Has to stay sharp on his toes
So that’s why I did what I did
Put his ass on the run
If you were in my shoes
That’s what you would have done
CHORUS x 2
JENNY
(Williams/ Scarboro)
JENNY
Although I've been this way before
Tonight having trouble finding my way
Truth has never been a stranger
Every now and then I tend to stray
The bottle's run out of answers
The gypsy's run out of cards
Says she can't see a future
Never thought flying solo be so hard
c-
JENNY, you could always keep me straight
With a look into your dissapproving eyes
JENNY, I hope it's not too late
For you to save me one more time
I'm feeling a little like a coward
Standing so scared and all alone
Haven't felt like such a big man
Since I've been on my own
Jenny,I Wouldn't know what to do
Without you being my best friend
Gently cutting through the pain
So that my ego'd heart can mend
chorus
B-
Your halo has always
Been my guiding light
Now I'm moving forward
But stumbing in the night
chorus
LIQUID COURAGE
(Williams/ Scarboro)
Running with the wolves
But your judgment’s flawed
Go scrapping with the tigers
And you’re going to get mauled
That wicked whiskey bottle
Has made a big man of you
There won’t be much left
When the big dogs get through
CHORUS
Chugging that wicked whiskey
Swinging at the walls
But that liquid courage
Ain’t no substitute for balls
Gonna drown in that liquid courage
Going under with your liquid courage
The alcohol is doing the talking
Writing checks you can’t cash
Your mouth making promises
But you’ll be landing on your ass
That bottle of wicked whiskey
Sure ain’t your true friend
Whiskey won’t cover your back
Your on your own again
CHORUS x 2
STARIN' DOWN THE WOLF
(Williams/ Scarboro)
There's trouble in the wind
It's the call of the wild
He's out there hunting
The wolf is on the prowl
The hunter tracks on
Stalking his prey in the night
Tired of the long chase
I'm ready to fight
CHORUS
Starin' down the wolf
Gotta hold my ground
Starin' down the wolf
Not backing down
The nature of the beast
Lives down deep inside
Time to face it head on
Tired of trying to hide
Through looking behind me
No more living in fear
Ready for the final showdown
I feel the wolf is near
CHORUS
ENJOY THE RIDE
(Williams/ Jones)
Always on the run
Never savoring the view
Never enjoying the present
Worrying where we're headed to
Taking it to the floor
Like in some kind of race
Gonna throw a rod
Trying to keep up the pace
Some one else can do the driving
Lean back enjoy the ride
CHORUS
Life is one long highway
Take some time to pull off
Spin your wheels way too fast
Might just get caught
Lean back, enjoy the ride
We only get so many miles
It all goes by way too fast
Driving with tired eyes
As the scenery shoots on past
Many turns along the way
Can't take your eyes off the road
But got to enjoy every mile
Never know how few is left to go
Someone else can do the driving
Lean back enjoy the ride
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Sometimes you get to ride
Sometimes you have to drive
Sometimes you've got to live
To know your alive
Chorus
BAD ATTITUDE
(Williams/ Scarboro)
Danger in those blue eyes
There's trouble in that pout
The spell over me is a mystery
I don't want to figure it out
Got me under your influence
I'm doing everything your way
When your body does the talking
I hear everything that you say
CHORUS
When you get dirty
You get lowdown and lewd
Pure sexy the way you move
Something good about your bad attitude
Your bad attitude
You're just the kind of girl
(that) All of the other women hate
The guys want to go out with
But they don't want to date
You got such evil intentions
You pull it off so smooth
Your love is sweet intoxication
I'm addicted to your bad attitude
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The evil look in your eye
The way (that) you move
Such an excellent lover
But such a bad attitude
CHORUS
GUNFIGHTER
(Williams/ Scarboro)
Walking with a large shadow
(Because) death follows close behind
No one looks him in the eyes
They know he’s the killing kind
Darkness falls all around him
But he knows no such thing as fear
Shot down many challengers
And never shed a single tear
CHORUS
Gunfighter,
why are you thirsty for the kill
Gunfighter
are you addicted to the thrill
Or is it just a meanness
Lying in you ready to strike
Gunfighter
What makes you need to fight
A killer without remorse
Playing in a bloodthirsty game
Drifting from town to town
As a man without a name
And now the crowd falls silent
As they ready for the draw
Everyone sees Hell open its doors
As the broken gunfighter falls...
Chorus
BEER TRUCK
(Williams/ Jones)
It's sure has been a hot day
And One of these would go down good
I'd pop the top on one of 'em
And drink with you if I could
I'm proud to represent my company
But there's one thing that sucks
You're in there drinkin' cold suds
I'm driving this hot beer truck
CHORUS
(so everyone)
Drink one for the beer man
Bustin' my ass to make a buck
I'm the guy who makes your weekends fun
I'm the man drivin' the beer truck
Bartenders get all the glory
They're workin' havin' fun
I'm out here sweatin' bullets
So all of ya'll can have a cold one
I don't have any groupies
Like the guys in the band
But if it wasn't for me
You wouldn't have that beer in your hand
CHORUS
BRIDGE
C'mon everybody
What the hell
What the f (bleep)
Make a toast
To the guy drivin' the beer truck
CHORUS
LYRICS FROM CD "THE GATOR"S BACK"
BLUEGRASS BABY
(Williams/ Scarboro)
The top is down
Her hair’s whipping in the wind
Classic rock blaring
Good times are here again
There’s some things
That I can’t get enough of
The sun is bright
This mustang’s a smooth ride
My bluegrass baby
Is riding at my side
She’s the only girl
That I’ll ever truly love
CHORUS
My bluegrass baby
Makes my life worth while
I work all week
Just to see her smile
So happy to be
Here in Kentucky
With my bluegrass baby
Looking all sexy
Cowboy hat and tight jeans
My bluegrass baby
Is all I’ll ever need
She’s a masterpiece
A true one of a kind
She’s pure country
She can rock and roll
A touch of blues
(But) A whole lotta soul
She keeps me in a
Kentucky state of mind
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Shining like the southern sun
Her smile makes me come undone
CHORUS
IN A LETTER
(Minyard/ Williams/ Scarboro)
I was a scared young boy
When your beauty caught my eye
I knew I had to be with you
But my poor heart was just too shy
I couldn’t speak the words I felt
Thought I could write better
So I put my feelings down
And sent you my heart in a letter
CHOROUS
In a letter
penned in blue
enclosed is my heart
calling out to you
If this heart could speak
it'd say it so much better
until it learns the words
I put it down in a letter
As the years flew on past
Love grew so strong
I wrote you letters every day
about how much we belonged
I couldn’t speak the words I felt
Thought I could write it so much better
So I put my feelings down
And sent you my heart in a letter
CHORUS
BRIDGE
ready for the next step
I've got a big surprise
I bought a big a big diamond ring
To match that sparkle in your eyes
Tonight I'll speak the words I've felt
I couldn't write them any better
Tonight I'll lay my feelings down
Please say that you'll be mine forever
CHORUS
CAROLINA SUMMER NIGHTS
(Williams/ Scarboro)
Racing down the beach
With our hearts on fire
Nothin’ lighting the spark
But the sands of desire
The waves rollin’ in
The moon lighting the shore
Love soarin’ in the air
The ocean’s peaceful roar
Hot Carolina summer nights
feels like once in a lifetime
Hot Carolina summer nights
Walking hand in hand
Makin’ love in the sand
Hot Carolina summer nights
The waves at our feet
Time is standing still
I hold you close to me
my fantasies are real
Lifetime of memories
Leaving footprints in the sand
Hoping that in another life
I'll find my way back again
CHORUS
A River To Cross
(Chesty Frank/ John Westwood/ David Williams)
I see her on the other side
Standing crying in the rain
I’m trying hard to reach her
Through this raging river of pain
Chorus
Only one river to cross
But I can't get over
No way I can find
A way to reach my lover
Just here all alone
Fearing our love is lost
I can almost touch her, yet there’s
A river to cross
Each of us stands alone
With tears in our eyes
Knowing love’s not our bridge
We sadly wave goodbye
repeat chorus
Bridge
So, so close
So, far far away
repeat chorus
BRIDGE ACROSS FOREVER
(Williams/ Beckley/ Cuff)
I was trapped in darkness inside my broken heart
Dying in a past that wouldn't end
But when you broke my shackles with your gentle touch
You set me free to finally love again
Chorus:
There's a bridge across forever that leads to me and you
Built on love and tenderness and dreams that all come true
There's a bridge across forever I want to walk with you
Hand in hand, heart to heart, starting with "I do"
I never knew what love was, but when you held me close
I felt our two hearts start to beat as one
Now every time you touch me, I feel you in my soul
And I know inside forever has begun
Chorus:
Bridge:
Standing on the edge of love's eternity
It's plain to see what your love's done for me
Chorus:
DAVIS"S PLACE
(Williams/ Scarboro)
Woody stumbled into the barroom
Trying hard to walk with pride
Ever since his Annie left him
A part of him seemed to die
He said he felt just like that
Broken clock hanging up on the wall
Nothin' ever seems to happen
Sometimes time don't move at all
CHORUS
Some were really hurting inside
You could see the pain on their face
Trying to find somewhere to belong
We all became friends at Davis's Place
Becky was the pretty bartender
She was the one I was going to see
I'd sit all night to look in her eyes
But she never looked back at me
If there is someone for everyone
Why are so many people alone
Why does love bless some of us
But others walk on their own
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Everybody was looking for something
We all just kind of ended up there
But at the end of the day it seems
We all just want to belong somewhere
CHORUS
MIDNIGHT's CREEPING
I’m a prisoner of the dark
Surrounded by the night
Moving through the shadows
Trying to find the light
The coldness is numbing
Afraid of what I’m becoming
(I’m) Beginning to fear
In this darkness I’ll disappear
Midnight’s creeping
Midnight’s creeping
(It) Hard to see through the lies
Midnight’s creeping
Midnight’s creeping
Keeping faith the sun will rise
I feel you, my best friend
As I fight this change
I don’t want to let you down
Don’t want to cause you any pain
So please pray for me
That’ll I’ll be strong
So I can tell the difference
Between right and wrong
Midnight’s creeping
Midnight’s creeping
(It) Hard to see through the lies
Midnight’s creeping
Midnight’s creeping
Keeping faith the sun will rise
12OZ CURLS
I’ve always heard that exercise
Is the best way to relieve stress
Most workouts wear me out
I found one that suits me best
I never get hot and sweaty
My hair never gets out of place
Doing my twelve ounce curls
Puts a big smile on my face
Lifting until I feel the burn
Building big arms to impress the girls
Quenchimg my thirst at the same time
Doing reps and reps of those 12 oz curls
They (always) say no pain no gain
Though sometimes I take it too far
When it comes to my kind of lifting
I always find a loaded bar
I don’t ever need a spotter
Until I try to walk out the door
It doesn’t take a lot of encouragement
For me to grind out one rep more
Lifting until I feel the burn
Building big arms to impress the girls
Quenching my thirst at the same time
Doing reps and reps of those 12 oz curls
Burn baby burn
Lift til it hurts
Lifting until I feel the burn
Building big arms to impress the girls
Quenching my thirst at the same time
Doing reps and reps of those 12 oz curls
