Heading On Home To You

(Vancouver Island, Canada)

I'm on the road baby I'm, doing my job, I think about you all the time, it keeps we working real hard. Time's a getting near, yeah it won't be long, my work will over and I'll have sung my good night song.

Baby I'll be, heading on home to you, just you wait and see, that knock on the door will be me.

Yeah I'll be, heading on home to you, so, let out the cat, settle on back, kick off your shoes, I'm heading on home to you.

I've been gone baby from your side much too long, but in my mind I see you every time I sing a love song. You're the only one gal, who can get me high; it's been your love for all these years that's gotten me by.

I pack away my gear, finish my last beer, think of us together again, I know that time is drawing near. When I see the lights of my hometown coming in sight, I know you'll be waiting at the door any time of the day or night.

I said just you wait and see, that knock on the door will be me. Baby I'll be, Heading on home to you.

Lifesaver

(Crescent Beach, Florida)

I’ve got a lifesaver, comes in one flavor. Saved my life, once or twice, makes my nights all right.

When times get bad and I get so sad. From out of the blue, she knows just what to do and my life’s renewed.

People try and put me down, try to drive my music in the ground, they want to, keep me under till I’m drowned, I’m saved again when I hear the sound of.

My life saver, so glad God made her, turns me round, settles me down, I’m so glad I found my life saver.

Heartache Heartbreak

(Miami, Florida)

Now she’s gone and all I do is miss her. Just once more, I want to hug and kiss her. I miss her so and I want her to know,

I still love her so. Heartache. Heartbreak.

My daddy told me “son time heals all wounds” but that ain’t no comfort and it’s, none to soon. You know what I’m feeling now is empty and blue, without you. Heartache. Heartbreak.

I wander around, all around town, places that we used to go.

I hope and I pray, that maybe someday, I’d find you and here’s what I’d say.

Oh how I missed you and I long for your touch, the smell of your perfume and sound of your voice, let’s start anew baby you know I love you and you love me too. Heartache. Heartbreak.

Love can be healing or love it can destroy, make your spirits soar or cause your downfall, it’s better to have loved and lost than never loved at all. Heartache. Heartbreak.

My Best Friend

(2002 North Palm Beach, Florida)

When my day doesn't go my way and I'm out of touch with things I do and say. I know what to do when I'm feeling this blue, my thought's turn to you and my spirit's renewed.

My best friend, and you'll be till the end. You're my best friend; I want to thank you again.

I'll never forget the day that we meet and all that we shared and how good it felt. Because of you and all that you do, when my dreams come true it will be because of you.

When we make love you're my Cherie amore and every time is better than the time before. I just want to say we, get better each day and I pray that this feeling never goes away.

What You See Is What You Get

(Somewhere On The Road)

Times are hard, monies tight, to get ahead now days, ya’ gotta’ get tough and fight. Gotta’ cover your assets, love and moneys like roulette. You never know where to invest, or a loser from a good bet.

But what you see here is what you get, baby, what you don’t see is better yet.

As a liberated lady, who got hip in the 80’s, now all the men you meet, are either married, gay or crazy.

If women are from Venus and men are from Mars, when these two collide, it’s like a burning star. With no guarantees, what will be will be and what you need to know, is what you cannot see.

Working For Somebody Else Just Don’t Pay

Somewhere On The Road

Oh dear Lord won’t you hear my case, I’m working in a place and I just can’t relate, to the hours and the pay for six bloody days, but until I get a break this is where I’m going to stay.

Working for somebody else, I said it just don’t pay.

I got me a job and man it really sucks, but I just figure it’s part of my bad luck and what the hell a buck’s a buck and I’ll get out of here with any kind of luck.

Don’t get me wrong folks it’s not that I’m lazy, it’s just that I’d have to be pretty damn crazy, to work so hard for somebody else when I could be making more if I was working for myself.

I’m working my life away for so little pay, waiting all week for the seventh day and in the back of my mind I know that there’ll come a time, when the things I dream of someday will be mine.

I know this story ain’t no front page news, it’s just another case of working man’s blues, yeah but someday maybe when I pay my dues, I’ll get out of here lord and that will be news.

Unexpected Love

(Aboard the White Whale, Miami, Florida)

Who would have thought I’d never guessed. Wasn’t looking I must confess. When I meet someone quite different from the rest, an unexpected love turned out to be the best.

And now I’m, living in a state of love. My spirits soar like the birds high above. I take her in my arms and I feel the love, I know this unexpected love was made in heaven above and I’m so in love.

Was all alone and on my own, working on the road with no place to call home, I looked up one day she come along, didn’t know it than but I’d never be alone again and just for the record folks I haven’t been.

Now I’m back and working on the road again, I’m singing and playing better than I’ve ever been, things are a whole lot better than they were before. I got my unexpected love by my side for evermore.

My Living Dream

(Aboard the White Whale, Miami, Florida)

Long and curly ruby red hair, an angel’s smile that’s always there. Cat like eyes their emerald green, this is my living dream.

She loves stray dogs, pathetic lost causes, black and white movies and struggling artists. Strapless gowns and old blue jeans, this is my living dream.

She never complains when things go badly, does everything she can to make me happy. Sometimes she drives me crazy and she makes me want to scream, this is my living dream.

Before I meet her I dreamed about her, now I know I can’t live without her. I’ve never been loved so much it seems, as I am loved by my, living dream.

I’m so happy my dream has come true, thank you God merci beaucoup, we’ll live together forever like a king and his queen, me and my living dream.

All I’m Leaving You

(Los Angeles, California)

Here I go again well I’m, back on the road again and I wonder why I stayed away so long. It took me oh so long; to realize I’d been away too long and now all I’m leaving you is this song.

I’ll be heading out to them. Wide-open spaces down that open road to some new and fall of places. I’m heading for the horizon, my journey has just begun, I’ve been away for a while, now I’m going back in style.

So don’t try calling me cause there’s, just no telling where I might be and there’s, too many places I’ve yet to see. I’ve really enjoyed it here and the people well they’ve all been dear but now, my traveling time is near.
