Wild Fire Baby

Met a girl
She’s so pretty
Wanna sing her
A little ditty
In my mind
She’s the one for me
Ain’t gonna lie to you, baby

Let me tell ya
I’m in love
Gonna fly to you
Like a dove
Come on sugar
Give it all to me
Ain’t gonna mess around
Ain’t no backin’ down

I love you honey
I don’t mean maybe
I want you all night long
‘Cause you’re my wild fire baby
I need your lovin’
I sure ain’t jokin’
I want to dance along
With my wild fire baby

You’re my saint
I’m you’re sinner
Gonna serve it up
TV dinner
Are you ready
Cause I’m-a-comin’ for you
You better get your motor runnin’, ’cause

I love you baby
I don’t mean maybe
I want you all night long
‘Cause you’re my wild fire baby
I need your lovin’
I sure ain’t jokin’
I want to dance along
With my wild fire baby

Scratch the Surface

Don’t know what’s right or wrong
Don’t know where I belong
I’ve seen the worst in me
And I’ve barely scratched the surface

Can’t seem to find my way
Can’t speak the words I want to say
I’ve been around this block
Yet I barely touched the surface today

Help is on the way
That’s what I hear you say
Day and night
Help is on the way
Everything’s gonna be okay

Don’t know if I could do it
Don’t know if I could make it through
I know what I’ve done before
And I’ve barely scratched the surface

Can’t seem to find a clue
Can’t seem to clear my point of view
I’ve been trying to move this rock
But I’ve barely touched the surface
And if I only knew that

Help is on the way
That’s what I hear you say
Day and night
Help is on the way
Everything’s gonna be okay

Don’t know what’s right or wrong
Don’t know where I belong
I’ve seen the worst in me
I know what I can be
I used to hold the key

Stand By Your Mistake

You can choose to hide away
You can choose to face the truth another day
Claim your victory or stand by your mistake

You can take on the world and be brave
Or drop the heavy load, take back what you gave
Pick your victory or stand by your mistake

Make up your mind, make a decision
Make up your mind, try to envision
Life is fading away
There’s not a lot left here today
There’s only time

You can listen to the voice in your head
Or you can speak out loud and believe
Take your victory or stand by your mistake

And you may choose to live in fear
Or you can choose to defy gravity
Snag your victory or stand by your mistake

So make up your mind, make a decision
Make up your mind, try to envision
Life is fading away
There’s not a lot left here today
There’s only time

Oh, we often run so fast
Lay on a bed of roses
Sometimes we think we’ll last
As we ignore our senses

Oh, make up your mind, make a decision
Make up your mind, try to envision
Life is fading away
There’s not a lot left here today
Life is fading away
No, there’s not a lot left here today
Life is fading away
No, there’s not a lot left here today
Life is fading away
There’s not a lot left here today
Just a little time

Good Man Down

They say life ain’t fair
Hands they go up way too soon
So Soon

The blame’s on yesterday
All you see in the rear view mirror
In the mirror, it’s true, yet…

You can’t keep a good man down
At least not forever
You can’t keep a good man down
He’ll pull it together

We’ve all been around
The new kid in town ain’t so new now
No, no

You ride out the hurt and pain
And show off the scars out in the rain
Yeah, ’cause…

You can’t keep a good man down
At least not forever
You can’t keep a good man down
He’ll pull it together, yeah
You can’t keep a good man down
No matter the weather
No, you can’t keep a good man down
He’ll never say never

And there’s always another day, another way
A choice to go or stay
But you can’t keep a good man down
At least not today

They say life ain’t fair
Hands they go up way too soon

Less Than Life

There’s a better place, a better time
See if you can read between the lines
Look me in the eye and tell me

Another day, another way
Like to change your mind, if I may
Would you take a moment and listen

You don’t wanna meddle
With anyone’s spat and strife
Cuz you don’t wanna settle
For anything less than life

Out of money and out of place
Seems you’re out of time and space
Have a look at your – your own reflection

No absolution and no reply
All the reason to break down and cry
To some of us, the answer is hidden in plain sight

You don’t wanna meddle
With anyone’s spat and strife
Cuz you don’t wanna settle
For anything less than life
You don’t wanna peddle
Your views when they cut like knives
Yeah, you don’t wanna settle
For anything less than life
Less than life

No, you don’t wanna meddle
With anyone’s spat and strife
Cuz you don’t wanna settle
For anything less than life
No, you don’t wanna peddle
Your views when they cut like knives
Cuz you don’t wanna settle
For anything less than life
Less than life

A Smile Deep Inside

She walks barefoot on a man-made hill
Where dreams remain a fantasy
She eats what you won’t
She takes what you don’t when it’s free
Every night blows the muggy air
As she lays down on a bamboo floor
She stares into a starless sky
Praying for an open door
She says

Oh God, I feel protected
I know you’re by my side
The crumbs that fall from under your table
They’re all I need to survive
Oh God, I feel perfected
Your arms are open wide
There’s nothing like a smile deep inside

She wakes early in the morning
Splashes water on her face
She’s got what she needs
She’s doing the deed seizing all her days
Every day she works herself away
Just to give her dog a bone
She’s never known any better
Not a world outside her own
Yet she says

You were thrown into a curve
Never had what you deserve

She’s home from work, gives her family a kiss
And hands them what she’s able
Sometimes she saves, sometimes she slaves
Trying to put a meal on the table
Every time she rings the dinner bell
Every time she fills her bowl
She looks into that starless sky
Outside the window of her soul
And she says

Everywhere

I will fly out in the sky
The moon will shine in my eyes
And I will find you there
‘Cause you are everywhere

I will sail out to the sea
A rendezvous just you and me
And you will meet me there
‘Cause you are everywhere

I will call your name
You will stay the same
There’s more than I can bear
But you will carry me

You and me, night and day
(Walk along together)
We walk along together
(I feel so safe)
Through the darkness you shine on me
‘Cause you are everywhere

I will call your name
You will stay the same
There’s more than I can bear
But you will carry me

Scramblin’ Man

Well I’m a wakin’ up in the morning
Rub the gunk cakin’ up my eyes
I go and mosey on down the man cave
Usually consider that my exercise
Oh but seriously baby
I’m a bit runnin’ out of time
Gotta write some songs
Maybe couple of words that rhyme

It’s been a long time since I rockin’
Been a long time since I rolled
Gotta get back in the saddle again
One more time before I get old
I ain’t jokin’ baby
I’m doin’ the best I can
I mostly take it easy
But today I’m a scramblin’ man

Well I gotta handy dandy cool idea
Got a girl named Kristi Anne
Gonna write her a candy honey sweet ol line
Keep her from leaving me for a guy named Stan
Oh baby, I’m beggin’ you to understand
You know I’m all yours
But today I’m a scrambin’ man

You know I’m all yours
But today I’m a scramblin’ man
I gotta beat my clock
And I’m gonna do the best I can
One more thing
We’re gonna go back to Texas Roadhouse
When I’m all done
