When Lipstick Meets Whiskey © 2015 Bart Mitchell Hanging out shooting some pool When this sweet young thing says that looks cool I showed her how to hold a cue stick When my shirt got smeared with her lipstick Told her I believe in shooting straight and tonight I came here with a date That whiskey shootin' blonde at the bar over there Thinks I'm her guy and she don't like to share When lipstick meets whiskey, Theres gonna be some hell to pay When lipstick meets whiskey The chemical reaction will blow you away When lipstick meets whiskey. I walked outside and there was my truck With Four flat tires it was all beat up A big "X" was carved into the seat A key and a bat made the job complete. When lipstick meets whiskey, Theres gonna be some hell to pay When lipstick meets whiskey The chemical reaction will blow you away When lipstick meets whiskey. And as for that sweet young thing She invited me out to hear her sing A karaoke bar and a daiquiri Now I hate girls who shoot whiskey. When lipstick meets whiskey, There's gonna be a lotta hell to pay When lipstick meets whiskey. The chemical reaction's gonna blow you away When lipstick meets whiskey. Bart Mitchell (615)428-4422

Bein' Lonely ©2008 Bart Mitchell I opened the door and saw that empty floor I thought that I can't live anymore Then I punched a hole in the wall Somehow it didn't hurt at all You were my first and only love A love you're so unworthy of Chorus You were the one, the only one But you're not the one and only I won't waste my time bein' lonely I thought about how unfair It was to leave just one chair The neighbor said two men and a truck Took two hours to load the rest up And if thats all I meant to you Then breaking up was long overdue Chorus There's one more thing I have to say Thank you for running away Chorus You were the one,the only one But your not the one and only I won't waste my life bein' lonely Bart Mitchell (615)428-4422 www.myspace.com/bartmitchellmusic

No Star on the Tree © 2008-2021 Bart Mitchell, Shandi Shiver Christmas lights on every house Along our little street Snowflakes are falling A candle in the window seat A wreath on every window A bow on every wreath A tree beside the fireplace With presents underneath One thing is missing At the top of the tree this year Its Daddy's hand placing the star Way up there so far Chorus There's no star on the tree No star on the tree We left it in the sky So daddy won't have to cry. Daddy's in the desert With his army friends A sand storm is blowin' Sand in his eyes again But the view at night, of our star Will warm daddy's heart He'll see our christmas star Way up there so far Chorus x2 Oh Daddy please don't cry.

Your What I Need ©2022 Bart Mitchell It's not a want, it's a need To feel you body next to me I'd run a mile Just to see you smile Your not a want your what I need. The sweetness of your breath Lying here upon my chest I'd swim the sea If you'd lie with me You're not a want you're what I need. When I hold onto your hand I feel like superman The softness of your touch God I miss you so much You're not a want you're what I need. That sparkle in your eyes Lord It's got me hypnotized I'd raise the moon If you'd come home soon You're not a want you're what I need. When I kiss your ruby red lips I go numb in my fingertips When you told me goodbye That was the first time that I cried. It's not a want it's a need To feel your body next to me. You're not a want you're what I need Bart Mitchell (615)428-4422

Walk Away Copyright 2010 Bart Mitchell I was sitting right here drinking a beer Me and my bud watching reruns of Cheers When you marched right up and unplugged the TV set You said its time to talk Or else your gonna walk But baby, baby there's one thing you seem to forget. Chorus As much as I hate to see you go I love to watch you walk away That way you walk that way you sway It's hard to ask you to stay As you walk away, walk away. I collected my thoughts and counted to 10 Took another sip then set it down again And I opened my mouth and tried not to shout. I said go take that walk After Cheers we can talk then baby baby maybe we can work this out Chorus Those jeans so tight That fit so right Man oh man I really love that sight As much as I hate to see you go I love to watch you walk away (I love the way you do the walk away, I love the way you do the walk away) That way you walk that way you sway It's hard to ask you to stay (I love the way you do the walk away) As you walk away, walk away. (I love the way you do the walk away)
