WE STILL HARMONIZE
We Still Harmonize
©2019 Karel Daniels (BMI)/Greg Mancuso (ASCAP)
When we're dancin' 'round the kitchen
To an Oldie Goldie tune
You do your thing - With that cute little swing
Babe, if you only knew
Chorus
I love the way you look at me
With that "Hey There" smile in your eyes
We still harmonize - We still harmonize
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me
So it comes as no surprise..
We still harmonize - We still harmonize
You like reading after dinner
I like to chill and watch TV
You'd rather garden - Sing Dolly Parton
Then go fishin' like me
CHORUS
Yea we have our differences
But we always compromise
We still harmonize - We still harmonize
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me
So it comes as no surprise..
We still harmonize - We still harmonize
bridge
You know just what to say
When I've had a real bad day
You're my kinda comfort zone
I can't wait 'til I get home
So we can dance 'round the kitchen
To an Oldie Goldie tune
and You do your thing-With that cute little swing
Babe, if you only knew
CHORUS
I love the way you look at me
With that "Hey There" smile in your eyes
We still harmonize - We still harmonize
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me
So it comes as no surprise...
We still harmonize - We still harmonize
We still harmonize - We still harmonize
We still harmonize

RESTLESS
RESTLESS
©2021 Karel Daniels/Diane Ward/Jack Shawde
I got my red dress on - Cherry kiss lip balm
Barefoot, hair dancin' in the wind
I wanna ride that old throttle, Crank up Willie, Tip the bottle
And do it all over again
So baby hold tight - Gonna be a wild ride
We might get stuck where the road's a little rough
But, in my condition, you're the fix I'm missin'
Enough will never be enough
CHORUS
I'm restless, hell yes
Wanna rustle up some trouble with you
I'm restless, hell yes
Runnin' like the outlaws - Runnin' like the outlaws do - oo .. oo
I'm like a hot wildfire, smokin' gun, livewire
A little Miss Dangerous
My mind is racin' - Wanna do some wind chasin'
And leave it all in the dust
Make the gear shift grind - Hear that motor whine
Don't go slow - Let the engine overload
It's a love grand slammy - Adios Miami
We're ridin' that renegade road
CHORUS
I'm restless, hell yes
Wanna rustle up some trouble with you
I'm restless, hell yes
Runnin' like the outlaws - Runnin' like the outlaws do - oo .. oo
Bridge
No speed trap gonna catch a bad-ass Cadillac
Can't sit still and there's no lookin' back
CHORUS
I'm restless, hell yes
Wanna rustle up some trouble with you
I'm restless, hell yes
Runnin' like the outlaws do...
I'm restless, hell yes
Wanna rustle up some trouble with you
I'm restless, hell yes
Runnin' like the outlaws...
Runnin' like the outlaws do - oo..oo - oo..oo

FOREVER IN THEIR HEARTS
Forever In Their Hearts
©2016 Karel Daniels/Rick Leather
Mama's picture's on the table
Right next to Daddy's bed
There's tear stains on the pillow
Where Daddy laid his head
Now we're cleanin' out the closets
Packin' shoes and all his clothes
He'll be with her forever
Now that Mama's called him home
---chorus
Forever love will never die
Forever don't keep track of time
Forever means they'll never be apart
Forever's where they're gonna spend
Each moment walkin' hand in hand
Together with ... forever in their hearts
They married after high school
Bought a 4 bed in the sticks
Raised two kids and raised some hell
Til Mama got so sick
Now Daddy's gone to meet her
They're dancin' on the stars
Back to where they both belong
In each others arms
---chorus
Forever love will never die
Forever don't keep track of time
Forever means they'll never be apart
Forever's where they're gonna spend
Each moment walkin' hand in hand
Together with ... forever in their hearts
bridge
I bet they laughed out loud the day they vowed
"Till death do us part"
'Cause they knew inside they'd leave this life
With forever in their hearts

And forever love will never die
Forever don't keep track of time
Forever means they'll never be apart
Forever's where they're gonna spend
Each moment walkin' hand in hand
Together with ... forever in their hearts

SPEEDWAY
SPEEDWAY
Karel Daniels/Joe Hash
I feel a rumble in the air, it's calling you there
To the Speedway
Every Sunday afternoon you can smell the fumes
At the Speedway
It ain't NASCAR, but it's a big deal
A buncha guys ya know behind the wheel
Check out the funny cars burnin' tar
Up close and in your face
It's Sunday-Sunday-Sunday
Sunday at the Speedway
It's the one day, one day, one day
We all get to go play
At the Speedway
It's a backwards, blindfold, smash-em-up time
At the Speedway
Engines belchin' fire and smokin' tires
At the Speedway
Eating pulled pork off of paper plates
Watchin' a school bus doin' figure eights
Take a six-pack down by the dirt track
And keep the kids out of the lanes
It's Sunday-Sunday-Sunday
Sunday at the Speedway
It's the one day, one day, one day
We all get to go play ...
They've got monster trucks and tractor pulls
And a death-defying grand finale
It's the hottest show on four wheels
Since Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney
It's Sunday-Sunday-Sunday
Sunday at the Speedway
It's the one day, one day, one day
We all get to go play
At the Speedway
tag..
They got the drag strip ... and the quarter mile
They got the infield ... full of dirt piles
At the Speedway .. Swear it happens at the Speedway .. We're all goin' to the Speedway

THE SWEETEST SONG I NEVER WROTE
The Sweetest Song I Never Wrote
C2020 Karel Daniels/Greg Mancuso
I dreamt that I wrote you a love song
Now it seems I can’t remember a note
It felt perfect and pure - And I thought for sure
You would'a loved it - Well, that's what I hoped
CHORUS
It was full of “Forevers" and “Honey, I Love You’s”
A really nice groove - kinda slow and smooth
Had a "ooo-oo baby, so glad that your mine"
Would’a sent crazy chills up and down your spine...
It feels like I lost a big part of my heart
'Cause the words disappeared when I woke
I tried and I tried - but it's hidin' inside
The sweetest song .. I never wrote
It's been awhile since I told you I love you
Been caught up in stupid stuff and couldn't cope
But hidden in my mind - Impossible to find
Was the best song - Now where did it go?
REPEAT CHORUS
It sounded so sweet - Sincere and complete
It said everything I wanted to say
Babe, hold me tight when I'm dreaming tonight
So I won't let that song slip away
CHORUS
It was full of “Forevers" and “Honey, I Love You’s”
A really nice groove - kinda slow and smooth
Had a "ooo-oo baby, so glad that your mine"
Would’a sent crazy chills up and down your spine...
It feels like I lost a big part of my heart
'Cause the words disappeared when I woke
I tried and I tried - but it's hidin' inside
The sweetest song .. I never wrote
(tag)
Oh, The sweetest song ... I never wrote
It was the sweetest song ... I never wrote

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
Home Is Where The Heart Is
C2015 Karel Daniels/Rita Poh
His letter read "You must report
For duty right away"
With tears in her eyes .. his little girl cried
"Daddy, please stay home and play!" .. (he told her..)
CHORUS:
"Home is where the heart is
No matter where you roam
You will be right here with me
Til I make it home
You can lay your hands across your chest
And say a little prayer
But, Home is where the heart is
And I'll always be there"

The pilot said to buckle-up
We're headed into Hell
He grabbed his phone to call her at home
But it went straight to their voice mail ...(he said..)
CHORUS:
bridge:
Home is friends and family
Home is Mom and Dad
Home is full of memories
Of the best times that you've had (They say that...)
CHORUS:
"Home is where the heart is
No matter where you roam

Til I make it home
You can lay your hands across your chest
And say a little prayer
But, Home is where the heart is
And - I'm already there"

AGAIN AND AGAIN
AGAIN AND AGAIN
©2016 Shafer/Daniels
When you wear that dress, I'm a mess
You can scrape me off the floor
There ain't no doubt - I'm inside out
I couldn't want you more
When your fingers touch my skin
I give up and I give in
It's so good - I can't resist
I love the way our love is
Every time you kiss me - I don't need to pretend
I want you to do it again and again
Every time you touch me - I go off the deep end
I want you to do it again and again and again
I like your style - You're a little wild
Got me all tied up in knots
I can't believe that you'd want me
Cuz girl, you're smokin' hot
You got my heart in overdrive
Can't stop now - I'm mezmerized
It's so good - I can't resist
I love the way our love is
Every time you kiss me - I don't need to pretend
I want you to do it again and again
Every time you touch me - I go off the deep end
I want you to do it again and again and again
I apologize if I repeat myself
I can't help it - No lie
It's all deja-vu when it comes to you
And I love it every time
Every time you kiss me - I don't need to pretend
I want you to do it again and again
Every time you touch me - I go off the deep end
I want you to do it again and again..and
Every time you love me - Yea, you know that's when
I want you to do it again and again
And again and again and again

Livin' The Dream

He helps her up - Puts the coffee on - And combs her silver hair
Takes her down to the shopping mall - Walks slow behind her chair
Doctors said there ain't no cure - She'd never be the same
But in their hearts they know for sure - One thing won't ever change

They're livin' the dream - Still livin' the dream
From front porch kissin' to a life long vow
Fifty years of makin' every moment count
As long as they're together - They've got everything..cuz
They're livin' the dream
They couldn't wait to build a home and raise a family
Now the kids have grown and gone like most of her memories
He reminds her of those precious times and the precious times to come
And they'll hold on through their darkest nights just like they've always done-cuz

MY BABY'S IN CUFFS AGAIN
My Baby's In Cuffs Again
C2011 Karel Daniels/Rick Leather
She was headin' home from a long hard day
When that cop car's tire kicked a rock her way
Crackin' glass was all she heard
She honked on the horn and flipped him the bird
Now maybe my baby shoulda counted to ten
Cuz that girl's gone and done it again
Chorus
Wrong time - Wrong place
Wrong expression on her pretty face
A Philadelphia lawyer wouldn't fight this case
She's lookin' 'bout as guilty as sin
It never fails - She's back in jail
My baby's in cuffs again
In the ladies room at the local saloon
She was waitin' in line and startin' to fume
Alot-a four-letter words flyin' everywhere
Alot-a pushin' and-a shovin' and-a pullin' hair
Maybe my baby shoulda held it all in
Cuz that girl's gone and done it again
Chorus
Bridge
That girl gets hotter than an ol' bob-cat
Wild-eyed crazy at the drop of a hat
Between me and you - Those boys in blue
They got no idea what they've run into
Chorus/Chorus
Tag
She's back in jail .. We're postin' bail
My baby's in cuffs again
Yea, my baby's in cuffs again...
I'll be waitin' for ya darlin'!

TONGUE-TIED
Tongue-Tied
C2013 Karel Daniels/Rick Leather
I can sing a song about most anything
From Rock n Roll to down-home Texas Swing
But the words won't come
When I'm singin' 'bout you and me
X's and O's start messin' up my mind
Next thing I know I'm forgettin' every line
My thoughts keep driftin' to your huggin' and your kissin'
And baby you know where that leads...
CHORUS
I get..Tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you
I get..Tongue-tied - Ain't nothin' I can do
You know, My heart's in it but my head's spinnin'
I'm so dizzy I can hardly speak...
I get tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you and me
You look like a model in a fashion magazine
The walkin', talkin', livin', breathin' girl of my dreams
I wanna paint your picture with my guitar and a melody
But everytime you smile, I can feel my body freeze
I babble like a baby and I buckle at the knees
My pulse starts racin' when you look at me that way 'n
I swear that I can barely breathe
CHORUS
I get..Tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you
I get..Tongue-tied - Ain't nothin' I can do
You know, My heart's in it but my head's spinnin'
I'm so dizzy I can hardly speak...

Girl, I know exactly what I wanna say
But my mouth just keeps on getting in the way

But if you want to see me shine
Flyin' free - By the sea

Bein' out on the beach
Nothin' is outta reach

From my head down to my soul

SO RIGHT
SO RIGHT
C-2007 Karel Daniels
Like a cold beer on a hot day
Like a touch-down in a replay
Like the tug of a fish on the line of a reel
That’s how good you make me feel
(Chorus)
So right
It fits like a glove
So right
I can’t get enough
I never knew – ‘til I held you
That love could feel so right
Like a sweet riff on a guitar
Like a fast ride in a NASCAR
Like the warmth of a fire on cold winter’s night
Lovin’ you feels so right
(Chorus)
So right
It fits like a glove
So right
I can’t get enough
I never knew – ‘til I held you
That love could feel so right
Bridge:
Getting paid on time
Finding words that rhyme
Having all your dreams come true
There’s a lot of things that feel so right
But not as right as lovin’ you
Like a cold beer on a hot day
Like a touch-down in a replay
Like the tug of a fish on the line of a reel
That’s how good you make me feel
(Chorus)
So right
It fits like a glove
So right
I can’t get enough
I never knew – ‘til I held you
That love could feel so right
I never knew – ‘til I held you
That love could feel so right

ROPING THE WIND
ROPING THE WIND
C2009 Karel Daniels/Rich Davis
When he was just in nursery school
He knew what he was born to do
He would saddle up and ride away
Like those cowboys of yesterday
Dreams of ridin’ in the rodeo
Bustin’ broncs in the snow
With one hand tight on his broomstick mare
The other swinging in the air
Roping the wind – Where the mustangs run free
Roping the wind – That’s where he wants to be
With the twist of his wrist – And a big ol’ grin
He’s Roping the wind
Now he works at his job downtown
No open spaces for miles around
The closest thing to a cattle drive
Is the ride to his nine-to-five
But, there’s no dirt on his office floor
So he closes the door
He leans back in that leather chair
Throws one arm in the air
(repeat chorus)
One day he’s gonna do it
Grab a hold of the reins
Ride off into the western sun
But until then…He’ll be
Roping the wind – Where the mustangs run free
Roping the wind – That’s where he wants to be
Roping the wind – Trail dust in his hair
Roping the wind – Aw, he wished he was there
With a twist of his wrist – And a big ol’ grin
He’s Roping the wind

kdlyriclady@aol.com 305-835-0594
Skin as smooth as porcelain
White hair combed up in curls
Men still call her beautiful
She still giggles like a girl
But she's walkin' slower, half stooped over, since I saw her last
Strugglin' in the present and peaceful in her past
Chorus
The belle in bedroom slippers shuffles down the hall
In her mind the music starts for dancers at a ball
Champagne toasts and satin gowns
Being swept up in the crowd
She remembers like a dreamer
When life was so much sweeter
She's the belle in bedroom slippers at the ball
People say back in the day
Boys followed her around
Askin' her for one more waltz
She never turned them down
Nurses take her hand and lead her back to her room most every night
Then she's off again searching for silver dance floor lights
Chorus
Bridge
She's ninety two - Thinkin' she's nineteen
Would it hurt to bend the rules just once and let her dance with me?
Chorus
She's the belle in bedroom slippers at the ball
At the ball

BUILT FOR SPEED
BUILT FOR SPEED
C2019 Shafer/Daniels
See that girl gun her engine there?
Been watchin' her-hard not to stare
Does anybody know her name?
I want to merge into her lane
When her pedal's to the metal
The guys in town all yield
She reminds me of a racecar
Takin' corners on 2 wheels
CHORUS
She's built for speed - Always in the lead
Close to dangerous - She's got what I need
When her engine's gunnin'
She's gets my motor runnin'
Yea, That girl - That girl - Is built for speed
I love the way her chassie shakes
As long as she don't hit her brakes
She's got curves right where she should
I'd like to peek under her hood
I ain't jokin' - That girl's smokin'
Hotter than a NASCAR cup
If she swerves in front of me
I'll be tryin' to keep up
repeat CHORUS
bridge
I'm gonna floor that pedal - Pull up right beside her
When I do, maybe then she'll see
Her and me - This aint no competition
Together now, we'd make the perfect team
CHORUS and tag
She's built for speed - Always in the lead
Close to dangerous - She's got what I need
When her engine's gunnin'
She's gets my motor runnin'
Yea, That girl - That girl - Is built for speed
She isn't built for comfort - She's built for speed
Built for speed .. Built for speed .. Built for speed
Built for speed .. Built for speed .. Built for speed
Built for speed

A three foot freckled angel is tuggin' on my shirt
Pleadin' "Daddy, let me go on that ride - I won't get hurt"
I say "You're too small - See that sign" - I try to explain...
That's when her tears fall like rain

That precious face, stained with tears
All my "No's" and "Don'ts" just disappear
Being tough .. it's hard to do
With tear stained eyes lookin' back at you

Checkout at the grocery store, there's candy in her hand

Gonna stick with you, yea, you slow my roll - yea, you slow my roll
All this livin' by the rules got me tied in knots
But you know all the do's and don'ts and why they don't mean squat
Don't know how you do it - hittin' all the right spots
With your soft laid back, low impact, give it all you got

Yea, you slow my roll - You get me chillin'
You take the edge off like a Sunday dinner grillin'

She drives around in a camo’d SUV
It ain’t for hidin’ she just loves to be seen
A real head turner everywhere she goes
A whole lot of wild and it shows
She wears a camo cap and camo boots
Got a camo butterfly tattoo
She's got camo shades blockin' the sun
And camo sheets where we make love
She ain’t a pink frilly kind of girl
Naw my baby
She's camo crazy
She likes it when we paint the town
Dressed to the nine in her camo laced gown
A little country, little classic, keepin' it real
In her black camo three inch heels
She wears a camo cap and camo boots
Got a camo butterfly tattoo
She's got camo shades blockin' the sun
And camo sheets where we make love
She ain’t a pink frilly kind of girl
Naw my baby

And her camo lovin’ heart is mine all mine

And camo sheets where we make love

UNBREAKABLE CHAIN
Unbreakable Chain

© 2022
Early morning amber skies
Pulling shadows off cornfields, bringing in the light
A farmer's son is born to toil
On land five generations sown
The stories write (of an)
Unbreakable chain; Roots deep in dirt
Hard work living; Salt of the earth
Unbreakable chain; God, family, and friends
Keep a hand steady; Forged with the strength
Of that unbreakable chain
September settin’ clouds on fire
Keep the combine safe and the hay bales dry
River’s known to overflow
Drown the crops and ruin the soil
Like in 65
Unbreakable chain; Roots deep in dirt
Hard work living; Salt of the earth
Unbreakable chain; God, family, and friends
Keep a hand steady; Forged with the strength
Of that unbreakable chain
Harvest moon reap your reward
Winter's making way to rest the tired soil
Bless the farmer's hands that gather
Bless the food that's on the table
We’re thankful for…
That Unbreakable chain; Roots deep in dirt
Hard work living; Salt of the earth
Unbreakable chain; God, family, and friends
Keep a hand steady; forged with the strength
Of that unbreakable chain
Unbreakable chain

She hops up on her rocking horse
After breakfast every day
Back and forth a hundred times
Her eyes a dreamy glaze
Pre-Chorus 1
I wonder what she's thinkin' - From that look that's on her face
Is she out there on the prairie, gone to another place?
Chorus
Ride Sierra Ride - Twirl that lasso high
Straight out of the west - Pink hat, pink boots, pink vest
She's a sight to be seen - She's a rodeo queen
Filled with so much pride
Ride Sierra Ride
She's ridin' in a barrel race
Tying dogies with a rope
Acting like the big girls do...
She will someday - She hopes
Pre-Chorus 2
But, I can't talk to her - When that look is on her face
She's starring in a rodeo - Her other favorite place
Chorus
Ride Sierra Ride - Twirl that lasso high
Straight out of the west - Pink hat, pink boots, pink vest
She's a sight to be seen - She's a rodeo queen
Filled with so much pride
Ride Sierra Ride
bridge
"One more ride - it's off to bed"
Her face begins to beam
A kiss goodnight and I tuck her in...
Now she's ridin' in her dreams
Chorus only out
Ride Sierra Ride - Twirl that lasso high
Straight out of the west - Pink hat, pink boots, pink vest
She's a sight to be seen - She's a rodeo queen
Filled with so much pride
Ride Sierra Ride / Ride Sierra ride

SUDDENLY DECEMBER
SUDDENLY DECEMBER
©2006 Karel Daniels/Janet Goodman
I keep your sweater folded up
In a trunk next to my bed
I pull it out on rainy nights
And lay it ‘cross my chest
When I’m lonely I put it on
I’m right back in your arms
And it’s suddenly December in the middle of June
We’re celebrating Christmas, my last one with you
Oh, six inches of new snow
The fire dies to just a glow
Your eyes watching over my soul
When I wear your old sweater
It’s suddenly December
So big it hangs below my knees
And there’s a hole I can put my fist through
Swore I’d never wash it
Even though I really need to
I can feel the magic begin
Goosebumps on my skin
And it’s suddenly December in the middle of June
We’re celebrating Christmas, my last one with you
Oh, it’s ten degrees below
Kissing you under mistletoe
Your eyes watching over my soul
When I wear your old sweater
It’s suddenly December
I can hear Nat King Cole, I can smell the pine
I shiver from the cold, but it’s hot as hell outside
I can feel you with me – even though you’re gone
Like a supernatural phenomenon
Suddenly December in the middle of June
Celebrating Christmas, my last one with you
Just the two of us at home
Ripping off that big red bow
Made it myself, took days to knit one row
When I wear your old sweater
It’s suddenly December
It’s suddenly December
It’s suddenly December

BACK TO THE FIRST TIME
BACK TO THE FIRST TIME
©2023 D.Sanchez/K.Daniels
The first time I kissed you
I found what I'd been missing for so long
I thought our flame would never die
But people change as time goes by
Now here we are barely holding on
Let's get back to the first time
When I rocked you in these arms of mine
Leave behind the hurtful things that tear our love apart
No more fussin' - No more fighting
No angry words or crying
Everything is gonna be alright
If we can get back to the first time (whoa)
If we get back to the first time
The first time we made love
Do you remember the candles and champagne?
Now thoughtless words we both regret
Have brought us to the brink and yet
Together we can rise above the pain
Let's get back to the first time
When I rocked you in these arms of mine
Leave behind the hurtful things that tear our love apart
No more fussin' - No more fighting
No angry words or crying
Everything is gonna be alright
If we can get back to the first time (whoa)
If we get back to the first time
The morning kiss - The midnight touch
The spark of love I miss so much
We can't give up - We can make it right
Baby, let's start tonight
Let's get back to the first time
When I rocked you in these arms of mine
Leave behind the hurtful things that tear our love apart
No more fussin' - No more fighting
No angry words or crying
Everything is gonna be alright
If we can get back to the first time (whoa)
If we get back to the first time
