BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU
BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU
1) Baby you’re angel in disguise
floatin’ on a breeze just like a butterfly
that’s all I want – to be beautiful too – beautiful like you
baby you’re as catchy as a song
over and over – I play it all night long
that melody - it sings inside of me – but what really turns me on
CHORUS 1: It’s the way that you laugh….the way you cry
Sing out of tune when you harmonize
With the radio up….in my pickup truck
It’s the way that you kiss me in the rain
And your eyes light up like pink champagne
On a summer night…and you hold me tight
When love comes shining through
it’s beautiful like you
2) Now baby it comes as no surprise
I can say the right words…but only you can make em rhyme
You’re the poetry – that moves inside of me – but what gets me everytime
CHORUS 2: It’s the way that you walk….the way you run
When you roll your eyes and smack your gum
with that silly grin...girl you pull me in
It’s the way that you dance when we're all alone
Call me at work on the telephone
Just to say hello...I miss you so
When love comes shining through…
it’s beautiful like you
BRIDGE: (you) and me…will always be together….love keeps getting better...Each and every day….but what I really want to say

CHRISTMAS TIME TO ME
CHRISTMAS TIME TO ME
1. Who needs a ride with a reindeer
who needs a sleigh in the snow
Tell Santa Clause he can put it on pause
we dont need his ho ho ho
Who needs another turkey dinner
or presents under the tree
Cause whenever youre near
any day of the year
Its like Christmas time to me
2. Take down the holly and ivy
silence those old silver bells
Our love is so bright
we dont need twinkle lights
put em back in the box on the shelf
Dont let those icycles fool ya
theyre as plastic as plastic can be
But whenever youre near
any day of the year
Its like Christmas time to me
BRIDGE:
No need for mistletoe
our lips found a reason for kissin
Who needs a package with a bow
when love is the gift that youre giving
(instrumental)
No need for mistletoe
our lips found a reason for kissin
What a wonderful miracle
when love is the gift that youre giving
3. Dont need more holiday shopping
or a snowman out on the lawn
We celebrate
every hour of the day
we fa la la our own little song
now everyones got their traditons
but baby I choose to believe
whenever youre near
every day of the year
Its like Christmas time to me
whenever youre here Im full of holiday cheer
Its like Christmas time to me

I wanna love you baby like no other
Theres no need to wonder
You can count on me girl
Til the end of the world
2) When your all curled up on the couch with your favorite
book and you give me that come here look
There’s no hesitation

like some ancient spell
You’re my salvation

I can almost taste it
Deep down in my soul
Repeat chorus
Something deep inside it move me
Girl you know it shakes me

Here’s come that feeling, yeah it happens everytime
My heart is sailing to a perfect world

It holds the keys to all the places I have been
But no matter where I go it’s true

Words go often left unspoken, but honey I was somehow hoping

so I crank up a country song
I’m punching the clock… from 8 to 5
but girl you know what’s on my mind

Cause I’ve been pushing myself to the limit
thinking bout you every minute
At the end of the day,

WHEN APRIL FOOL'S AROUND
1) Aprils daddy is the preacher at the Cornerstone Church
her moms a member of the PTA
the Johnson family seems so proper and perfect
but April gets a little bit crazy some days
On Friday nights she fires up that chevy, racing to another world
Who could imagine how this could happen, to the preachers girl
CHORUS: When she fools around, she draws a crowd
dancing with her girlfriends on the bar
she’s cutting loose, kickin' off her shoes
a hero rockin' on her air guitar
ain't no slowin' down, When April Fools Around
2) A little trip down to Puerto Vallerta
with some buddies on a college spring break
that’s when I saw my hometown senorita
sippin on Corona's with a bunch hombres
I gotta a feeling with the sun starts setting, she’ll make a few more friends
now here I am in Maria's, and there she goes again
2nd CHORUS: When she fools around, she draws a crowd
dancing with her girlfriends on the bar
she’s cutting loose, kickin' off her shoes
and puffin' on a swisher sweet cigar
ain't no slowin' down, When April Fools Around
BRIDGE: We got married at the Cornerstone Church
Her daddy gave her away
We settled down and we’re raising up a family
And I’m proud to say
CHORUS: When she fools around, it’s just with me
dancing up on top the kitchen the bar
When she’s cutting loose, I can’t refuse
I've been chasin' her right from the very start
ain't no slowing down...When April Fools Around

SAWTOOTH
In a shotgun shack on a Louisiana swamp
There’s a hot bombshell in a tight tank top
She’s gotta a pet alligator named Sawtooth
you’d better watch your step cuz he waitin’ on you
A frat-house city boy from New Orleans
Came calling one night on this cajun queen
It was a steamy hot night,
when the lights when out,
You never heard a city boy scream so loud
Beggin for mercy in the black bayou
Chalk another one up to ole SAWTOOTH
From an alligator farm to that Creole crib
She raised him up just like her own kid
12 feet long all jaws and tail
A black & decker power tool with slimey green scales
The warden got a call about a gator gone wild
couldn’t wait to get his hands on that killer crocodile
It was a steamy hot night,
blue lights flashed out
You never heard a LAW DOG scream so loud
Beggin for mercy in the black bayou
Chalk another one up to ole SAWTOOTH
the gator lost his life but the warden did too
Some say its just a legend and if you need proof
On those steamy hot nights,
when you’re headed down South
You’d better watch your step when the lights go out
That hot bombshell's working her voodoo
with a baby alligator SON of you know who
Chalk another one up to ole SAWTOOTH
Chalk another one up to old SAWTOOTH

COUNTRY CRAZY
COUNTRY CRAZY
Long legs, sippin’ long necks
Sitting at the bar in a short dress
Shes was hot she was smoking
Mister I ain’t even joking
She can churn your butter
Bake biscuits like your mother
And rock like Marshall Tucker
CHORUS: She’s driving me Crazy, my Alabama baby
I can’t explain how she uses that twang
But it rattles my brain, I’m going insane
crazy, Country Crazy
(she lit me Like a) cigar, in a fast car
Burnin up the screen like avatar
She blazes like a rocket
Cuts a trail like Davy Crocket
Man she can really knock it
Like an 8 ball in the pocket
And I don’t wanna stop it
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT
Bridge: I should really take a break
and find a way to settle down
But I can’t think straight
Whenever she’s around

IT'S LOVE YOU TIME
IT'S LOVE YOU TIME
music & lyrics by Jerry Glidewell
1) While the moon waits up for morning,
you awake me without warning
I once again I find, it's love you time.
As I listen to you breathing,
you caress me with such feeling
heaven gives a sign, its love you time.
Before we met, I never even knew,
how to love, without acting like a fool.
But now I know, I finally found the truth, loving you.
2) As the sunlight slowly rises,
this lucky heart girl, realizes
the past is way behind, it's love you time.
There've been others, who've looked inside,
and found a heart, full of empty pride
and your the one, whose made my life, so right.
3) The clock keeps counting on forever,
and with you girl it just get's better
cause always in my mind, it's love you time,
love you time, love you time....

SHARING CHRISTMAS WITH YOU
1) Bells keep ringing in the the city square
and we'll soon see Santa's face.
Icicles hang from a treetop sky
like stockings by the fireplace.
There is reason for this cheerful season
that warms me through and through,
cause the best ole' thing, this year could ever bring,
is Sharing Christmas With You.
2) A bobsled ride, with children who slide,
down a hill of icy snow.
While a houseful of folks, are tellin' jokes
and stories we already know.
Kids are anxious, grandparents so gracious,
families are renewed,
but the best thing yet, is what I'll get,
Sharing Christmas With You.
Bridge: I used to be lonely this time of year,
holidays gave me the blues
but I found reason, for this cheerful season,
and what this moment can do.
Tag: Ya’ my heart will get a lift, from my favorite gift
Sharing Christmas with You.

TAP THAT
1) Out in the woods where the gettin’ is good
There’s a tavern not found in your neighborhood
Your chair is a stomp and the bar’s made of stone
Mother nature is there so we never drink alone
On Friday nights blasting Dixie delight
Comes an 89 caddie with a keg of bud light
a hillbilly hottie, she ain’t no tease
Got me down on my knees saying please-pretty-please
CHORUS: Tap that – crank up the Flatts
Sipping them suds in your daddy’s Cadillac
Parked down under that ole’ river bridge
She shaking that Butterfly Tat we jump in the back
I’m an ole coon dog she’s an alley cat
Don’t make me crawl don’t make be beg
Let me tap that -- BEER KEG
2) The moon and stars really light up the yard
so we make a little music with our air guitars
gonna keep things green gonna get in touch
with the frogs and crickets and the lightning bugs
You can find you a friend in the campfire light
and the girls get crazy just about midnight
shakin their stuff to David Alan Coe
and the guys raise a glass and make a toast - singing
BRIDGE: so we gonna take a walk --down the nature trail,
like big game hunters – gonna chase a little tail
--- END ---

COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS
COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS
CHORUS
We’re counting down the days of December
It seems like forever
Til Christmas finally gets here
The egg nogs a knockin’ the malls are really hoppin
Stuffin’ pretty presents in a big red stocking
Sweethearts a mixing with some mistletoe kissing
The Kids can hardly wait
Til Santa comes to town
We’re COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS
1) I’m beggin honey please…hang up some holly leaves
Play some jingle bell rock and rockaround the Christmas tree
Plug in some twinklely lights….lets make the season bright
Grab your coat and toboggan, cover up your noggin
Cause we’re going to a snowball fight
CHORUS
Bridge: well the clock clicks a little bit slower
When the weeks come to a crawl
But the 25th is getting mighty closer
So it ain’t no problem at all
2) Bring in some firewood….invite the neighborhood
A little secret santa is gonna do us all some good
I wish the family were here….let's spread some holiday cheer
We'll call your cousin in Tacoma, my aunt in Oklahoma
And wish em all a Happy New Year
CHORUS

MISSISSIPPI RAIN
Kiss one more kiss I never got the chance
a victim of a circumstance tearing us apart, apart
Girl girl I feel haunted by a memory
Branded for eternity with your love your love
Standing all alone in the Mississippi Rain
Crying like a child praying that you’ll come home
But it’s much too late
Once upon a time, girl we had it all
Living on a dream, but dreams get washed away
In the Mississippi Rain
Tell I could tell something must be wrong
girl when I got the call I crumbled to my knees God please
Lights flashing lights on a flooded street
I could hear the sirens scream in the night in the night
Standing all alone in the Mississippi Rain
Crying like a child…praying that you’ll hold on
But it’s much too late
Once upon a time, girl we had it all
Living on a dream, but dreams get washed away
In the Mississippi Rain
it gets so lonely
here without you
but I know you’re in a better place

WRAP ME UP
WRAP ME UP
Chorus: Wrap me up with love for Christmas this Year
That mistletoe’s saying Come On Over Here
Yeah the only thing on my list
Honey it don’t get better that this
Wrap up with love for Christmas this Year
1) Save those sales receipts and take em back to the store
Don’t need no holiday discounts anymore
It’s time to simplify
With something that money can’t buy
Tell St. Nick, the only gift
Is one I’m praying for
REPEAT CHORUS
LEAD
2) Like a kid I just can’t wait for Christmas morn
And that fireplace is getting mighty warm
The snow outside is cold
So turn up that Nat King Cole
(No time to wait) Don’t hesitate, let’s celebrate
The season we love most
REPEAT CHORUS AND TAG

AINT NOTHING BUT A TWANG
1) I saw a U-Haul van in the parking lot
the plates said New Jersey
She was carrying in a microwave and an LCD TV
I said welcome to the Peabody apartments
honey you just purtied up this ole town
She said I’m not quite sure what you just said
But I sure like the way it sounds…..
and I said thank ya maam
CHORUS: It Aint Nothing but a Twang…
southern comfort running through my veins
A little Charlie Pride, Mama tried, dixie-fied rhythm and blues
Let me spell it for ya…C-O-U N-T-R
Y baby why baby why
It’s a natural thing…oh it Aint Nothing but a Twang
2) 2 weeks later on the elevator
we got stuck between two floors
I turned on the charm and I flexed my arms
and I finally pried open dem doors
She smiled and said “you’re my hero”
come on over for a couple of beers
The way you bend those words and you use that slurr….
it music to my ears
Bridge: Now we're packing for a honeymoon vacation
heading south down to San Antone
and late at night when I hold her tight
man ya oughta hear her moan
Tag: you love the way I saang…..Oh it nothing but a TWANG
--- END ---

BE STILL
1) Is your life, pressing in on you
sometimes pressures just to hard
You struggle searching for yourself
overcome by who you are
CHORUS: Then you hear that, whispering voice calling to you
Be still and know that he is God
Be still----oh be still
2) My God commands the wind,
the waves fall to his voice
and heaven and earth exhalt his name
and feel his breath upon your face
REPEAT CHORUS:
Bridge: Capture all my thoughts and my dreams
take me where it’s only you and me…be still…..oh be still

CONTAGIOUS
1. When I woke up in bed this morning
Burning up with a crazy fever
It’s only been 24 short hours
Girl you know I need you
When you do what you do

I don’t know why
But you kill me with sweet emotion
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
How you get to me - it’s a mystery - girl your messin with my mind
CHORUS: Youre CONTAGIOUS
Gotta wild attraction and its catching everywhere
so OUTRAGEOUS
A chemical reaction girl your love is in the air
Its Contagious
2. Gonna call up the E-R doctor
Let em in on my condition
Think I need a double dose
Of stronger medication
when you do what you do
Girl it feels like my heart’s exploding

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
How you get to m - it’s a mystery - you keep messin with my mind

SEARCHLIGHT
1. When I close my eyes boy - I feel you watching me
I’ve been tossing and turning – like a ship at sea
baby something’s missing – storm clouds are moving in
creepin’ in the distance – sending chills against my skin
CHORUS:
Can’t walk away – don’t walk away
Playing with my heart this way – this heartbreak
baby it’s a big mistake – boy you make me cry
I wanna take one more chance – one more chance
baby we can find romance – take my hand
lead me to a place so safe – two heart lost tonight
Love is like a SEARCHLIGHT
2. Once upon a time boy - I thought we had it all
I’m getting claustrophobic – and you’re building walls
What we’ve got’s worth saving – come on now let me in
there’s a fire burning – we can go back there again
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge: Can’t you see it in the distance
Shining bright in the darkness
Love will guide us back home

With your girlfriends talking thought I’d get a little closer

ON A GOOD DAY
1)Lost in the dust where a tanker burns down an old dirt road
In the desert heat he can smell the smoke
Camouflage pants with blood stained knees and his best friends tags
The last thing he said brother I got your back
What a flashback it’s a moment in time that he can’t forget
CHORUS: But ON A GOOD DAY when he wakes up
He can roll outta bed and barely feel the pain
ON A GOOD DAY he can think straight
though the battle rages on he can somehow find the strength
Down deep in his soul there’s a little bit of hope
ON A GOOD DAY
2)There’s a white picket fence wrapped around a house in the middle of town
It’s a quiet streetwhen the sun goes down
It’s 3 a.m. and he just passed out on the living room floor
His wife gets up says I can’t take much more
With tears in his eyes he swears he’s gonna change
CHORUS: Cause On a good day when he wakes up
He can roll outta bed and barely feels the pain
On a good day he can think straight
he can hold on tight even when he’s got the shakes
Down deep in his soulthere’s a little bit of hope
ON A GOOD DAY
Bridge: Now rehab it ain’t easy
it’s a long hard fight
And the price of war is steep
when it kills you to survive
Tag: But on a GOOD DAY he can stand up
to the man in the mirror and finally face the pain
Down deep in his soul there’s a little bit of hope
He can put down the drink look you in the eye
hug his kids kiss his wife
though the battle rages on he can somehow find the strength
to put the past away
ON A GOOD DAY.....Oh On A GOOD DAY……

ROGER MILLER TIME
1) In a ’65 chevy with my rag top down
cruisin on 55
I see jacked up low riders, spinners on fat tires
traffic for a country mile
pop - rock - hip hop - R & B - sports talk
blarring on the radio
but there’s a location on my A.M. station
that always drives me home
CHORUS: It’s Roger Miller Time
give me some Willie and some Patsy Cline
pour me some country gold
chug-a-lug with the king of the road
I want me 3 chords and the truth
like Dang me and doo-waacka-do
let that clock unwind it’s Roger Miller Time
2)We got tattoos nose rings sushi in the mall
shoppers buying alligator shoes
Virtual ping-pong, tweetin’ on your smart phone
Granny’s got a facebook too
I’ll take a ball cap six pack chicken licken lip smack
Fishing da-down on Cedar Creek
But my favorite location is a little destination
With a jukebox and a drink
CHORUS: It’s Roger Miller Time
Give me some Tom T. and watermelon wine
Pour me some country gold
Chug-a-lug with the king of the road
I want 3 chords and the truth
Sing Dang me and doo-waacka-do
Let that clock unwind it’s Roger Miller Time
TAG:It’s Roger Miller Time

Engine Engine Number Nine…it’s Roger Miller (skat) Time

WIN THE DAY
WIN THE DAY
1. When the world keeps kicking you down - and you’re losing your ground
And you can’t make it out of the trenches
When you’re flat on the floor – and you cut to the core
And they’re testing all your defenses
We’re gonna rise up / this is our battle cry
Come on stand tough / this time it’s do or die
CHORUS: We - are gonna set this world on fire
We’re gonna win the day
Come on and move – that mountain we can take this higher
We’re gonna win the day
Through the night – this army – got to fight – you and me
United we can keep the faith
Hold on – be strong – you know it won’t be long
we’re gonna win the day - We’re gonna win the day
2. When this life keeps pulling you back - and you’re under attack
And you’re gonna to crack with the pressure
It gets under your skin – it’s a dangerous blend
And you’re soakin it in like a poison
We’re gonna rise up / this is our battle cry
Come on stand tough / this time it’s do or die

PLAYTHING
PLAYTHING by Chad Roland & Jerry Glidewell © 2017
1) 8 o’clock - on the dot - looking hot – in my red dress
And the phone rings - I got your number
Got a date - boy your late – shoot me straight - my friends says
You’ve been cheatin – kissing another
If that how it is - baby you should know this
Chorus: I’m not a plaything - I’m not one of your toys
You don’t have strings - Wrapped around my heart boy
What a crying shame – love ain’t a game – a game of pretend – where nobody wins
Mama told me – don’t be naïve
Life ain’t all roses - in a land of make believe
Where we tip-toe – under rainbows – now you know
I’m not a plaything
2) What a tease - on your knees – beggin’ please – whose crying now
You whisper you love me – Oh baby I’m sorry
I’ve made up my mind – I’ll tell you one more time
Repeat Chorus and tag

Oh the teardrops – fall like raindrops
From my brown eyes – feeling so blue
It ain’t the first time – but it’s the worst time
Walkin’ LONELY AVENUE
2) The sound of goodbye - it cuts like a razor
And it bleeds - boy it bleeds you dry
Oh the heartache – it’ such a heartbreak
When you think – of all we’ve been through
Wishing what could be – running on empty
Walkin’ LONELY AVENUE
Bridge: Those memories keep calling – as night time is falling
On this run down boulevard
The juke joints are closing – hey nobody’s open
This ole’ ghost town – it feel’s like my heart
3) All things considered – there’s always tomorrow
My friends try to tell me – everything’s gonna be just fine
I give em my best smile – I go the extra mile
But you and I – we know the truth
This is a tough one – losing your someone
Walkin’ LONELY AVENUE

GREENER GRASS
1. Save me – life is making me crazy
I’ve been spinning my wheels and a feels like a dog on my heels
guess you know the score
Girl friend – I need a little more something
I don’t mean to complain but I’m playing the same ole game
and I can’t take much more

I’m gonna fly
Like an Eagle – high on ambition
made my decision
I’m touching the sky
Gonna find a little greener grass on the other side
2. Jaded – all the that I’ve wasted
I’ve been watching the clock non stop I’m connecting the dots
now it’s coming clear to me
Passion – with a little more action
oh the joy it will bring when you swing with the wind in your wings
floating wild and free

Waking up naked in the parking lot
Got a little mustard on your tater tot

Whisky tipsy, make a girl frisky
Losing all track of time

Waking up naked in the parking lot
Got a little mustard on your tater tot

You wanna gitty up but the engine stalls
Whatcha gonna do – whatcha gonna do

Chicken’s clucking – bulls are bucking
Riding like a rodeo
Gonna get it on - all night long

TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH
1. They got a big neon facing the street -- $ 8.99 all you can eat
SUV’s lining up the lot -- got some heavy hitters, licking their chops
see the man on the curb with a sign - “I’ll work for food”
they say he ain’t worth nothing - and he smells like booze
While the people inside are just stuffin on seconds - pulling their britches up
We’re all standing in a buffet line - Too Much Is Never Enough
2. She’s got bo-tox needles and a spray on tan --smoothin them wrinkles trying to please her man
They say Dr. Roberts he can get you in shape --a little nip and tuck goes a long long way
See the little girls play double-dutch in the neighbors yard
Everybody’s invited – no matter who you are
We’re all mixing up a Percocet cocktail – addicted to the latest drug
Dr. Roberts just one more prescription - Too Much is Never Enough
3. Wall Streets a buzzin – markets on the rise – corporate corruption is driving up the price
Declare bankruptcy – mortgage your home – or pay off them bills with a student loan
while all the old folks are waitin on a check from Uncle Sam
working their whole lives --- doing the best they can
While the president is checkin out a penthouse suite – and waiting on a lobster lunch
Theres a oil rig pumping in a middle east desert – too much is never enough
4. There’s a preacher on TV in a 3 piece suit – says send me $ 20 dollars and I’ll pray for you
If you can spare a little more – think of what you’ll get – flying up to heaven in a chariot
See the son of God – he aint got a place to lay his head
He said seek me first – but they killed him dead – oh how the savior bled
While the TV preachers puffin on a cigar – Lord he’s got the Midas touch
Paying off his jet with some widow’s – Too much is never enough
You better walk in the light & hang on to love – Cause too much is never enough

YOUR CHILD
1) Resting in the arms of my father
Can I sit with you a while
Hiding from the pain – one thing will remain
Lord I’ll always be your child
2) Now sorrow is a stone in the river
But your grace – flows for miles and miles
When I am alone – you gently lead me home
Lord I’ll always be your child
bridge: And when I fall
you pick me up and make me whole again – take me as I am
With every doubt
You shine a light deep inside my soul
You take control – and I know who I am – who I am
3) Resting in the arms of my father
Away from every bitter trial
When I’m weak you’re strong – I know where I belong
Lord I’ll always be your child
Jesus died for me – there on Calvary

LAY BACK
1. I go to work loadin’ lumber all morning
Hammer chasin’ another nail

Hit the door – you’re laying in bubble bath
CHORUS: And girl your KILLING ME when your TELLIN’ ME
That you’re LUCKY one
But it’s plain to see – I won the lottery
Since the day you came along
You got me turning off the game – turning off my phone
It’s messing with my heart – the way you turn me on
Girl you’re KILLING ME
2. Picked a few of the daise-seez we planted
Put em all in all pickle jar

Candle light – a little sizzle on the grill
Cause tonight - all we got is time to kill

MAN FROM GALILEE
MAN FROM GALILEE

Another thirsty soul at Jacob’s well
She met the master – the living water
She said Lord I could use some help
He said trust in me
And don’t’cha dare go lean on yourself

Hang it on the cross of Calvary
There’s a river flowing that’ll wash your sins away
When it feels like redemption can’t be found
And you’ve been searchin’ for some holy ground
Fold your hands in prayer – get down on your knees
And take it to the MAN FROM GALILEE
2. There was a beggar – poor blind beggar
On a rocky road to Jericho
He said have mercy – Lord I’m unworthy
Could you shine your lovin’ light in my soul
Jesus touched his eyes
So the whole wide world would know

1) There’s a crystal stream…on a mountain side
where the cotton clouds…and the earth collide
see the foggy air…softly kiss the ground

and suddenly the morning sun peaks through

holding on hope as we walk this promise land
waiting on that glory train from somewhere up above
this life is just a journey…on a highway we call love

dancing in the wind… like a little child
With a baseball glove…in a dodger cap
set the world on fire….with a smile like that
walking tall…wearing daddy’s shoes

3) When you touch my hand… oh I fall like rain
on a clover field….do you feel the same
Can you picture us…in a lillac sky
where the lillies bloom…. and the blue-birds fly

just take a look around – enjoy the view
heaven’s waiting room

THE WHOLE TOWN’S TALKING
1. Going back home 25 in a school zone
kissed you after gym class

Couple skating on a fast track
Now they boarded up the church where you walked down
the aisle and said “I do”
I didn’t have a clue – that I was losing you

Every turn leads straight to your memory
Fogging up the windows - in my old camaro

smack dab in the middle of yesterday
every step every stop every corner on the block keeps calling -
girl the whole town’s talking
2. There’s that city water tower where I painted your name
two wild & crazy young kids
I saw your cousin at the diner – had a picture on her phone
We were jumping from that old bridge
She said your mama passed away – so I stopped by
her grave - Now I can’t lie
Tears filled my eyes – when I said goodbye
Instrumental / Fogging up the windows – in that red camaro
hearts were pounding to the radio

hand in hand walking down those streets of gold
with the lord

CONVERTIBLE SUMMER
CONVERTIBLE SUMMER by Chad Roland & Jerry Glidewell © 2024
1. Turning this truck – picking up that song on the station
her memory dances like fire - and my heart keeps racin’
to August nights - and dashboard lights - at two a.m.
This Chevrolet is miles away - from where I’ve been
CHORUS: I can see her now - in our little home town
With her hair in wind and the top rolled down
throwing dust flying high in her daddy’s Thunderbird
Taking that long ride - she and I – yah we swore forever
then we crashed & burned - and I should have learned
But I still keep driving that CONVERTIBLE SUMMER
– yah – yah – CONVERTIBLE SUMMER
2. She was back seat driving – swerving all over my body
Losing control with stars shining down – ain’t it funny
How time moves on – it seems so long – but then again
If she came cruising in that car – I’d climb on in
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG: Running down to the river when the days got hot
She’s losing them jeans and her red tank top
Not a care in the world – when you jump in head first
Taking that long ride - she and I – yah we swore forever
then we crashed & burned - and I should have learned
But I still keep driving that CONVERTIBLE SUMMER
yah – yah – CONVERTIBLE SUMMER --- END ---
