ASKING FOR A FRIEND
ASKING FOR A FRIEND
(KIRK)
VERSE:
Hey girl how you’ve been doing
Since your world done fell apart?
Are all your weekends ruined
Staying home with your broken heart?
Ain’t seen you around town lately
I miss your pretty face
So I thought I’d call you up
Yeah - Before it got too late
CHORUS:
Is your box of tissues empty?
Is His picture by your bed?
Are you done crying ‘bout him?
Or thinking 'bout what you should have said?
Baby do you need somebody
Who can help your poor heart mend
Are you tired of being lonely?
Yeah - I’m asking for a friend
VERSE:
Girl I’ve been right where you are
Thinking that they were the one
Making plans for the future
Just to have them come undone
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
I’m good with picking up the pieces
Girl, Just Say the word, if you need me
CHORUS
Is your box of tissues empty?
Is His picture by your bed?
Are you done crying ‘bout him?
Or thinking 'bout what you should have said?
Baby do you need somebody
Who can help your poor heart mend
Are you tired of being lonely?
Girl, are you tired of being lonely?
Yeah, I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend

PASS IT DOWN
PASS T DOWN
(Clay Mills/Tony Brice/Kevan Kirk)
Pass it down
Side step chevy
Left to me by my granddaddy
Tearin’ up the weekend
Pass it down
Down by the River
Bottle of Jack round the circle
Coming back again
Turnin’ boys to men
CHORUS:
The Best Things, Aww the best things never change
This ol red Georgia clay, Momma’s faith and Daddy’s last name
Memories, making new ones every minute
Livin’ life while I’m still in it
Til I’m gone
And I’ll pass it on…
Pass it down
Old double barrel
Winchester, on the mantle
Used to feed this family
Pass it down
Church on Sunday
Collection plate filling up with money
And the Holy Ghost
Gonna save your soul
CHORUS:
The Best Things, Aww the best things never change
This ol red Georgia clay, Momma’s faith and Daddy’s last name
Memories, making new ones every minute
Livin’ life while I’m still in it
Til I’m gone
I’ll pass it on…
Pass it down
CHORUS: Breakdown
The best things, Naw the best things never change
This ol red Georgia clay, Momma’s faith and Daddy’s last name
Memories, making new ones every minute
Livin’ life while I’m still in it
Til I’m gone
I’ll pass it on…
Tag:
Pass it down

Pass it down
Left to me by my Grandaddy
Pass it down

Pass it down

Pass it down

THIS OL SHIRT
THIS OLD SHIRT
(AURELI/KIRK)
Verse 1:
I Flew home on leave today
Nothing in my old room has changed
school books from senior year, your picture on my mirror
An old glove a baseball bat
Dog tags from my grand dad
I opened up that dresser drawer found what I was looking for
CHORUS:
This old shirt has seen it all
Those red lips near faded off
If it could talk what it would tell
It’s weathered but still fits me well
The cost was small for all it’s worth
wearing memories in this ‘ol shirt
Verse 2:
Seems like it was yesterday
Waiting on the Stones to hit the stage
Checking out the merchandise, I let you cut in line
We talked and laughed and rocked all night
Fell in love by the morning light
One look I knew, it never looked better than it did on you and…
CHORUS:
This ‘Ol shirt has seen it all….
Bridge:
It watched you leave in the pouring rain
Its lived, its loved, its stained
CHORUS:
This old shirt has seen it all
Those red lips near faded off
If it could talk what it would tell
It’s weathered but still fits me well
The cost was small for all it’s worth
Wearing memories….
Never forget you memories… in this ‘ol shirt
This old shirt

CONVERSATION JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS
Conversation Just Between Friends
Demay/Kirk
Verse:
There''s times I’d call him up out of the blue
And I’d start out with "hey boy, what you been up to?
It seems like forever since we’ve seen each other
How''s California? and don''t brag about the weather"
Next thing you know we’re down the roads we use to run
All the trouble we got into looking for some fun
Laughing at the same jokes for the hundredth time
With your best friend on the end of the line
Chorus:
A conversation just between friends
Sometimes is the best medicine
Who''ll remind you where you came from and just how far you’ve come
Talking ''bout nothing but awe ain’t it something that
You covered everything before the end
Of a conversation just between friends
Verse:
He said "that trick knee’s been acting up again"
I said "I’m seeing more gray hairs and it’s getting thin
When do you think you''ll be back this way?
You wouldn''t believe how the old neighborhood has changed"
We talk politics, religion and the tax bills we’re getting
The direction that our country’s heading in
It seems the topics changed through out the years
Between wife and work and kids and the ones that came to tears
Chorus:
In a Conversation just between friends
Sometimes is the best medicine
Who''ll remind you where you came from and just how far you’ve come
Talking ''bout nothing but awe ain’t it something that
You covered everything before the end
Of a conversation just between friends
Tag:
He’s the only one who knows where you’ve been
You dread the day and you pray they never end
Those conversations just between friends

Never knew, loving you, was gonna hook me like this
Awe Baby I just can’t quit
Your sweet addiction

BABY JUST HOLD ON
BABY JUST HOLD ON
(Kirk)
I wake to see you curled up on me
I can feel you breathe
And the bed sheets are all tangled up
The night is gone and it won’t be long
‘fore the alarm comes on
And you’re reaching for your coffee cup
Chorus:
BABY, JUST HOLD ON
Won’t you stay with me a little longer
Don’t let this moment end so soon
I want to / Stay here just like this
Baby, lay around and steal your kisses
And gaze into your baby blues
Don’t think of letting go
BABY, JUST HOLD ON
I can feel you trying to slip away
I can hear you say
I’m going to make you late for work again
You try and hide underneath your smile
That look in your eyes
Is driving me wilder than I’ve ever been
Chorus:
Bridge:
Don’t say you have to go
Baby, pick up the phone
And make the call, you won’t be
In at all – all

HOLD ON

TIME'S STANDING STILL
Time’s Standing Still
(Kirk)
Life is short, yeah it goes so fast
The world keeps spinning the days don’t last
Yeah, once they’re gone babe you can’t get ‘em back
All I wanna do is kick off my boots
Wrap you in my arms, take you to our room
We’ll be two young lovers under the covers like that
Chorus:
Yeah, I’m going to slow it down and do this right
Baby this is going to take some time
When it comes to you, I got time to kill
When we’re lying down – Time’s Standing Still
The sun’s going down on another day
The summer’s gone and the leaves have changed
Yeah like sand through the glass our time, is slipping away
I’ll turn off the phone and baby lock the door
I’m watching you, your dress hits the floor
Yeah my hearts going crazy baby, I just can’t wait
CHORUS
Bridge:
That sun is making it’s way through the bedroom window
It’s shining on a brand new day
I wake in the morning to your kiss
Still taste the strawberries on your lips
Yeah it don’t get any better baby, better than this

YOU'RE THE BEST THING ABOUT ME
YOU’RE THE BEST THING ABOUT ME
Johnson/Kirk
Spent most of my life working for the man
Doing 9 to 5 with this hammer in my hands
My beat up Chevy truck keeps on breaking down
Maybe that’s my luck that’s finally turned around
CHORUS:
BABY SINCE YOU’VE BEEN HERE
MY WORLD IS OPENED UP AND MY CLOUDS HAVE DISAPPEARED
MY SUN IS ALWAYS SHINING LIKE A BRAND NEW DAY
WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
I SEE THAT LOVE LOOK IN YOUR EYES
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IT IS BUT IT FEELS SO RIGHT
I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU SEE IN ME
BUT YOU’RE THE BEST THING ABOUT ME
I’m trying to find my way to be a better man
Watching what I say and changing what I can
Keep on walking down the line trying to make you proud
But you don’t mind the mess, you see me inside out

Whoa!
Whoa!

YOU’RE THE BEST THING ABOUT ME

WHY YOU GOT TO BE LIKE THAT
Why you got to be like that?
(Kirk)
Verse:
I come home from a hard day’s work and grab myself a beer
No sooner are you in my face talking in my ear
I’m not in the mood to listen to you now
Need a little time to clear my head and settle down
Chorus 1:
Why you got to be like that?
When you don’t like what I say
You stomp your feet and pout your lips as you walk away
Why you got to be like that?
Go and act so damn cute
Makes me want to spend the rest of my day making up to you
Why - you got to be like that?
Verse:
I catch a corner of your grin and the Devil in your eye
I smell the sweet scent of warm vanilla whenever you walk by
I know you’re up to no good, you’re going to make me pay
For treating you so cold and pushing you away
Chorus 2:
Why you got to be like that?
When you whisper in my ear
You tell me things you’re going to do, things I want to hear
Why you got to be like that?
When you strut across the floor
You pretend to play hard to get, makes me want you more
Why - you got to be like that?
Bridge:
I know you’re just trying to turn me on
You’ve been teasing me all night long
You know how to cure my blues
And I’m a lucky man to find a girl like you
Chorus 3:
Why you got to be like that?
When you keep me up all night
Then the way you knock me down, wearing just a smile
Why you got to be like that?
When you go and make me see
When I look in your eyes, you’re where I want to be
Why - you got to be like that?

Verse:
So you want to go out with me?

Someone who’s not afraid to show me
That he’s not just another guy
I want to find someone to
CHORUS:
Treat me right and buy me flowers

That’s all!
Verse:
I’m tired of playing games
Don’t want the same ‘ol same ‘ol
Why can’t you look me in the eye?
It isn’t a mystery
All I need is my one and only
Not some guy who’s going to waste my time
I want to find someone to
CHORUS:
Make me laugh and say funny things
Give me his ring to wear on my chain
Walk me home while it’s raining in the fall
Someone to/Write me poems text them to my phone
Call the radio request my favorite song
And let the /whole world know I’m the reason for his call
That’s all!
Bridge:
If you want me to be you’re girl
You got to Stand Up/ Get Loud/ Shout It Out – Tell the world – and you got to
CHORUS:
Treat me right buy me flowers
Call me at night talk to me for hours

I’m just an old fashioned girl

Perfect postcard scene
No one around for miles, Just you and me

Go For It

V1
Baby I’m gonna dive right in and ask you
Where you been all my life, all my life
Shining like a supernova
Exploding underneath these neon lights, neon lights
I wanna know everything that’s going on
Behind those pretty blue eyes
How ‘bout you and I
CHORUS:
Just go for it
Do you wanna dance floor it
I can’t ignore this feeling there’s a kiss I should be stealing
We can moonlight it
Just might all night it
Yeah if you’re into it, why don’t we just do it
Girl let’s go for it
V2
I could get lost on your lips, I ain’t talkin’
‘Bout just one sip, wanna drink you up, drink you up
Let’s pour what’s left of these two Alabama Slammers
In one solo cup, solo cup
Now you’re whispering in my ear “let’s get out of here”
Can’t leave fast enough, Girl it’s time for us for us for us
CHORUS:
Just go for it
Step on the gas floor it

GET YOU HOME
GET YOU HOME
(KIRK)
Baby are you thinking what I’m thinking
No need to finish what we’re drinking
I can tell you’re reading my mind with that
Let's get out of here look in your eyes and your
Hand held tight in mine
Has got my heart beating
It’s getting late but the night is young, so young
Cuz Time stands still when we’re all alone
You lean in and whisper little somethin’
Giving me a taste of your loving
And I know you already know
I can’t wait to get you home
Gears are shifting tires are spinning
Burning rubber as we’re leaving
I can feel my temperature rising
The way you're resting my hand on your thigh and
Baby you know I like
Where this is leading
CHORUS:
I’m watching you twirl your hair that’s
Blowing in the midnight air and
Baby, we’re almost there
It’s getting late but the night is young, so young
Cuz Time stands still when we’re // all alone baby
You lean in and whisper little somethin’
Giving me a taste of your loving
And I know you already know
I can’t wait, baby,
I’m high on anticipating
I can’t wait to get you home

GONNA STAY WITH ME

Verse:
The first time I saw mama cry
The first time that I got to drive
That day my dad done pulled me aside and gave
Me my first taste of Tennessee whiskey
The day I got my first guitar
The day I bought me my first car
That Tattoo on my right arm
When Mama asked me what the hell was I thinking
CHORUS:
Some things you just can’t shake - That I’ll…
Stay with you til your dying day
Good times and memories made
The things you learn from your mistakes - Then…
There’s you and my heartbreak
That scar on my heart I can’t erase
I got a really bad feeling here lately
You're gonna stay with me
Verse 2:
That first time I saw you looking at me ~ to our
First time at the bonfire party
To understanding what love really means ~ first
Time I saw my future it was there with you girl

Now we got to stay inside
You think our Sunday’s out the window
But Babe it’ll be alright
I’m still underneath these covers
Come here and wrap me in your arms
I’m gonna make you feel much better
Hold me, Hold on
Let the rains come
Come and get a little closer
Let it pour down
We can stay here ‘til it’s over
If you want we can love some
So let the rains come
I wish this storm would last forever
I want to live inside your kiss
Cause it’s so good when we’re together
Like This, Like this
Let the rains come
Come and get a little closer
Let it pour down

Aint got no valet ~in the backyard ~ just pull it on in and park
Don’t mind the dogs, they like to bark, yeah, but they don’t bite that hard
We’re playing corn hole and smokin’ up some bar-b-cue
Yeah, cause that’s what we do
Drop it down ta low gear ~ ain’t in a hurry here
We’re on backwoods time
Hanging round the bonfire ~ under a southern sky
That’s how we like ta unwind
Anything you need, we probably got it
Enjoy the high life, grab a long neck
We’re just chilling here lawn chair kicking back
‘Cause that’s what we do
That’s what we do, that’s what we do
We got some whiskey Karaoke right here in our mason jar bar
By the time we hit midnight, yeah, everyon’s a superstar
Stories ‘bout fishin’ gettin’ bigger like they always do
Yeah, ‘cause that’s what we do

ALL THE PROOF
All the Proof
© Diane Waters, Kevan Kirk
It’s a ghost town in this kitchen
Key hook’s got one set missing
Nothin in the fridge, a sink full of coffee cup’s
I ain’t gotta turn the radio down
I can blast it all through town
While I’m telling myself that you’re not really gone-on-on-on-one
I’ll be throwing back memories trying to find any
Reason to believe what I wanna believe
Tryna stop the truth from making its case against me
I don’t wanna see the evidence in front of me ever since
The cold hard facts say you ain’t coming back
Just one of us sitting at the bar drowning in this drink
That’s all the proof I need
I got your seat saved with my jacket
I guess it’s hard to break old habits
Like watching for you to walk in through that door
Playing songs I shouldn’t be playing
On the jukebox - I’m just saying
This heart’s of mine’s writing checks I can’t afford
I’m here throwing back memories trying to find any
Reason to believe what I wanna believe
Tryna stop the truth from making its case against me
I don’t wanna see the evidence in front of me ever since
The cold hard facts say you ain’t coming back
Just one of us sitting at the bar drowning in this drink
That’s all the proof I need
Bridge I don’t need a double trouble tequila shot to tell me what I don’t wanna know
I’m just throwing back memories trying to find any
Reason to believe what I wanna believe
Tryna stop the truth from making its case against me
I don’t wanna see the evidence in front of me ever since
The cold hard facts say you ain’t coming back
Just one of us sitting at the bar drowning in this drink

AIN’T GONNA WRITE THAT SONG
I Ain’t Gonna Write That Song
Diane Waters, Kevan Kirk
Songspace link: https://song.space/6e6flk
VERSE:
Well, days like this I feel so rich
I look in your eyes and the sun in the sky thinking
How did it go so right and how’d I get you to be mine
It’s like a tune-plays in my head
Saying this time I might really know what I’m doing cuz
Usually before love gets this far I start to unwind
By now I know cut and run by heart… (but)
I ain’t gonna write that song
Don’t want to have to right my wrongs
Or play a sad one where I’m breakin your heart ‘n you end up long gone
I’ma get it right this time
Like Johnny Cash ‘N Walk The Line
You won’t ever have to worry ‘bout being the lonely one
(cuz) I ain’t gonna write that song
Must’ve been you they were singing about
In “Forever and Ever Amen” yeah-I-ain’t been the same
Since you started a flame I couldn’t ignore
I could promise you everything
Then just leave you hanging on nothing, but that would be
Crazy baby that ain’t me no more
I ain’t gonna write that song
Don’t want to have to right my wrongs
Or play a sad one where I’m breakin your heart ‘n you end up long gone
I’ma get it right this time
Like Johnny Cash ‘N Walk The Line
You won’t ever have to worry ‘bout being the lonely one
(cuz) I ain’t gonna write that song
Bridge
The way you’re looking at me like I’m some California dream come true
I could waste this night thinking about how I don’t deserve you
Down Chorus:
I ain’t gonna write that song
Don’t want to have to right my wrongs
Or play a sad one where I’m breakin your heart ‘n you end up long gone
I’ma get it right this time
Like Johnny Cash ‘N Walk The Line
You won’t ever have to worry ‘bout being the lonely one
(cuz) I ain’t gonna write that song
I aint gonna write that song

FUNNY HOW THE WORLD GOES ON
Funny How The World Goes On
© Jonathan Helfand / Kevan Kirk
I expected a grey sky morning
Thought I’d wake up to thunder and rain
How could this day be so ordinary
Tell me why nothing has changed
I'm so surprised to see these blue skies
The birds are still singing their sweet morning song
I lost her love yet
The sun shines above
Ain’t it funny how the world goes on
How the world goes on
How come people are talking and laughing
Don’t they see that I’m falling apart
Yeah they acting like nothing has happened
Don't they know I'm a man with no heart
And I’m surprised to see these blue skies
The birds are still singing their sweet morning song
I lost her love yet
The sun shines above
Ain’t it funny how the world goes on
How the world goes on
Since she’s been gone, I can’t move on
I’m hopelessly broken, I’m frozen in time
And I’m surprised to see these blue skies
The birds are still singing their sweet morning song
I lost her love yet
The sun shines above
Ain’t it funny how the world goes on
How the world goes on
Ain't it funny how the world goes on --- END ---
