GAS ME UP
Got me a ride that looks real good
With a V8 hemi under the hood
Trimmed out in leather and heated seats
The dual exhaust rumblin under my feet
I love the feel when I'm behind the wheel...so
(Chorus)
Gas me up now I'm ready to go
Pedal to the metal, down the open road
Gas me up now sugar, we'll have some fun
I'll do the drivin' you can ride shotgun
I feel alive when I'm in drive so
Gas me up now baby cause here we go
Got 20 inch rims all trimmed in chrome
An automatic with speed control
A sleek bedliner and a trailer hitch
Can pull any other out of a ditch
I love the feel when I'm behind the wheel so
(Chorus)
An auto system with a DVD, a flip down flat screen that gets HD
Kick ass speakers the sound would blow you away
Dual scoop bessels and a honeycomb grill
A quad cab beauty, man what a thrill
Half ton so steel with horses to spare
The four by four trans gets you anywhere
I love the feel when I'm behind the wheel so..
(Chorus) --- END ---

BACK TO YOU (NON MILITARY)
Back To You
(v1)
I took for granted all the times we shared
when you were always here for me,
Every day when I’d awake, I’d see your smiling face
I thought I’m right where I should be;
(lift)
Our time was short; you had to go
But there’s one thing you wanted me to know
(chorus)
Every morning every night, I’m counting down the days
When I will be with you forever
Our love will never die; it keeps me alive
No matter where I go or what I do
I’ll find my way.....back to you
(v2)
I’m so far from where you are; like being stranded on a star
My heart is feeling empty
I snuggle in our favorite chair wrapped in your old clothes
Just to feel your arms around me
(lift)
I pray you make it safely home
Then I’ll never have to be alone
(chorus x2) --- END ---

TO BE FREE
Am l strong enough to let go of all I’ve ever known,
to find a better life I know that’s out there
Am I strong to hold on to all I hold so dear
Without giving up just because of fear
(lift)
For I know I do what’s right, I must join in the fight
and keep the faith to live another day
and the sun will rise again, for us I know my friend
just pray for me, pray for me
(ch)
I have no right to win, but have everything to lose so I sacrifice it all
When my weary heart grows weak I just close my eyes and pray
My soul won’t let the dream fade away...that’s the price you pay
To Be Free

EVERYTHING THING
Verse
You’re leanin’ in to kiss me
Standin’ here on this porch
You’re sayin’, “have you changed your mind
‘Bout needin’ that open door”
I admit you’ve got me burnin’
Out of sweet control
(That’s) Got nothin’ to do with
To have and to hold
Chorus
I can’t do that EVERYTHING THING
That comes with wearin that everything ring
Don’t wanna be a queen to no king
Ain’t into tyin’ no apron string
Commitment, close-knitment
Don’t want nothin’ that clings
Still I’ll do anything
But, that EVERYTHING THING
Verse
I’ll live to make you happy…
Is that what you expect
Well, maybe down the road
But, I’m not ready yet
When we 1st met I told you
(I’m only) in this for the fun
If you wanna taste it with me
(Then) hey, I’m the one
Chorus
Bridge
If it’s the journey that matters
I swear it’s “the gettin’ there” I’m after
Chorus
Commitment, close-knitment
Don’t want nothin’ that clings
Still I’ll do anything
But, the EVERYTHING THING
Tag
Don’t want that EVERYTHING THING --- END ---

SOMEBODY NEW
Verse
I can tell he wants to get to know me better
But I don’t know if I can go through this again
Think of all my history I’d have to retell him
Where I’m going what I’m doing where I’ve been
Chorus
Then he’d tell me his ex said that he never listened
And what he should a done he didn’t do
(I’ve) BEEN there AND I’ve LEARNED, (oh,) IT’S a LOT of WORK
(Umm umm) Gettin’ to know somebody new
Verse
Mama’d invite us over every night for dinner
Daddy’d stand and yell for his favorite team
My brother’d lie around playing with his computer
Grandma’d grab her hidden bottle of Jim Beam
Chorus
Then he’d have to overlook… all my crazy habits
But, hey, don’t you know he’s got ‘em too
(I’ve) BEEN there AND I’ve LEARNED, (oh,) IT’S a LOT of WORK
(Umm umm) Gettin’ to know somebody new
Bridge
Now, he’s askin’ me out for Friday night
My nerves start janglin’ deep inside
Chorus
Should I wear my black dress or is it too sexy
Where’d I put my other cowboy boot
(I’ve) BEEN there AND I’ve LEARNED, (oh,) IT’S a LOT of WORK
(Umm umm) Gettin’ to know somebody new
Tag
Lord it’s a lot of work
Gettin’ to know somebody new --- END ---

UNLONELY ME
Hanging with my buddies, out for a little fun
Nothin' gets me fired up like the weekend does
Watching' you at the table as I'm strolling past
Don't mind if I say hi, girl, I'm glad you're smiling back
The acoustic band is playing, being alone ain't gonna do
With a little luck I'm thinking' you'll be able to
Unlonely.....Unlonely
Me
If only for tonight I wanna feel alive
With no responsibility
Be my good time, the life in my nightlife
I've been waitin' all week
Help me lose myself like I'm someone else
Unlonely Me
Tried bein' cool as Nome Alaska; Mr. Chillin' out
Thinkin' you might be the right one, or just the right one now
You take my hand and tell me, don't know where this will go
But to tell it to you straight boy, here's all you should know
I'm not lookin for someone; only someone for a dance
You look like a party, so there's a chance you can
(chorus x2)
(tag) Help me lose myself like I'm someone else
Unlonely Me --- END ---

PICNIC IN THE SNOW
Snowflakes fallin' from the sky
Covering the ground
Dressin' hills and roads in white
With a breathless sound
Inside flames are cracklin'
Keep us warm as toast
Hey, what do you say let's get away
And do what we love most
Let's go on a picnic in the snow
The park is waiting where we always go
You'll bring the blanket we'll rock the playlist on our phone
For our picnic in the snow
Some may think we've gone insane
Like it's a starlight night in June
There's no more beautiful sight to see
Than you under that silver moon
I'll brush off fluffy crystals
Gatherin' on your hair
Gonna take your hand and we'll dance
In the frosty air
(chorus)
(Bridge) This is my favorite kind of weather; I could hold you in that twilight paradise forever
(chorus) --- END ---

KICKIN' IT COUNTRY
Kickin’ it Country
Tired of high risin’ castles, cubicle shackles
Dronin’ nine to five
Travelin’ steely dark subways, parking lot highways
Draped in neon lights
I’m done with suits and ties, too clean and too pristine
Levi’s and an old tee shirt rock my wash machine
Kickin’ it country; headed where everybody knows me
Rockin’ chair lazy…sunny days chillin’ with a cold one
Get a little rowdy, aw ya; that’s where I wanna be
Kickin’ it country
No more chasin’ them deadlines, waitin’ in lines
For fancy coffee drinks
I’ll be shootin’ some pool with old friends from school
Downing Wild Turkey
Time to head back home; get off this crazy ride
Packin’ up my truck, leave my cares behind
Kickin’ it country; headed where everybody knows me
Rockin’ chair lazy…sunny days chillin’ with a cold one
Get a little rowdy, aw ya; that’s where I’m gonna be
Kickin’ it country
(Bridge)
I used to think my happiness meant that I had to roam
Truth is all I’ll ever need I’ll find when I went home
Kickin’ it country; headed where everybody knows me
Rockin’ chair lazy…sunny days chillin’ with a cold one
Get a little rowdy, aw ya; that’s where you will see me
Kickin’ it country
(Tag)
That’s where you will see me
Kickin’ it Country

RIGHT HOOK
THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU SMILE
I ASKED YOU TO DANCE
MUSIC PLAYED I COULD FEEL THE BASS
AND WHEN YOU GRABBED MY HAND
LIKE THE SHOCK OF A LIGHTNING BOLT
I FELT THAT SUDDEN JOLT
IT ROCKED ME LIKE A RIGHT HOOK
SPUN ME AROUND ‘TIL I WAS SEEING STARS
YOU TOOK MY BREATH AWAY
KNOCKED THE WIND RIGHT OUTTA MY HEART
YOUR SOULFUL EYES GAVE ME THAT LOOK
GOT MY ATTENTION LIKE YOU KNEW IT WOULD
CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD HIT ME HARD
LIKE A RIGHT HOOK
I REMEMBER THAT NIGHT WE MET
YOU PUT ON YOUR VELVET GLOVES
I CAN’T EXPLAIN THAT FEEL GOOD ACHE
LEFT ME ALL SHOOK UP
YOU STUNG ME WITH YOUR KISS
AND, GIRL, WHAT IT DID
CHORUS
CHORUS
TAG CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD
HIT ME HARD
LIKE A RIGHT HOOK
