The Spirit in the Sky I have been reborn On the wings of this mighty steed. On the open highway, without bonds of civilization to distract or confine me. With the wind in my face, and the beauty of nature which surrounds me. Who am I to question why I am here or what is the purpose of my life? Suddenly, I am transformed into a fearless Indian chief, riding a dark horse with fiery exhausts for nostrils, Lightning and thunder emerge from its machine soul It has come to life, it obeys my every movement, It senses my moods. There is a brief transformation of the souls, suddenly the man, and the machine of the man become inseparable and indistinguishable I am the machine and it is me. The pulsations of my dark horse's metal soul meld with my heartbeat; the constant mesh of its gears emanates allowing us to reach synchronicity. Leaving the mortal world behind us, we are compelled to the realm of the mystic. Our journey has begun. For the moment, we have escaped this world on spiritual wings of silver symbolized by the majestic beauty and speed of the eagle. We have left our earthly bonds behind; our momentum bears us aloft into the sky. I am as free as the spirit in the sky.

There's no love left for you

We've lived together for a long time but now the love is gone we once knew We're old enough to know we can't live life this way And young enough to start with someone new So it's divorce or destroy each other which one of the two shall we do You say in your heart there's no love left for me And in my heart there's no love left for you We've stayed together for the children but soon the kids will be grown and be gone Yet we keep on destroying each other and Lord to live life this way it must be wrong So it's divorce or destroy... Yes in my heart there's no love left for you.

I'll prove it a thousand ways

I love you I'll prove it in days to come I swear it's true darling you'll be the only one I think of you of the past and all our fun I love you I'll prove it in days to come You're my darling you've been true I should have been good to you You're the one that's in my heart while we're apart I'll be true I'll prove it to you in days to come I love you in my heart you'll always stay I've been so blue and lonesome all these days I love you I'll prove it in days to come I'll be nice and sweet to you and no more will you be blue I'll prove I love you every day all kinds of ways Darling please wait please wait until I'm free There'll be a change a great change made in me I'll be true you'll have no more blue days I love you and I'll prove it a thousand ways

Here I Am Fallin' Again

Here I am fallin' again, in places that I've already been. I sure didn't plan it and I don't understand it but here I am fallin' again. Here I am lyin' again making up places that I've never been. I thought I was through with these heart breaking blues but here I am lyin' again. Why don't a man ever take time to think what is at stake? Is it the danger or the pleasurable stranger but those are the chances we'll take. I'd hate to come face to face with her and her at the same place cause it will be hell If I had to tell her someone has taken her place. I had a beautiful wife,she found it all out one night and the pleasurable stranger, lord I didn't change her and I lost it all this time. So here I am cryin' again and callin' symphothy from my ole friends he once loved her and she once him and here I am cryin' again.

The Last Love Song

I know its over because I don't keep you satisfied anymore but before you move along let me sing you the last love song. Tomorrow when I wake, what will take the place of smiles on your face and black hair against white lace and I wonder, will I be thinking of our early morning love all the sweet things that you'd say that brighten my darkest day and tomorrow night what do you suggest to take the place or your breasts breast against my chest oh how I'll miss your tenderness but there's no use crying because loves a grown up game alittle pleasure and then alot pain first we called each other bad names then what we had was never quite the same I wish I could find eyes that won't cry, lips that won't lie and a love that won't die. And a love that won't die.

The Pressure is On

I got someone at home,don't know whats going on, thinks I love her and her alone and the pressure is on. I got a new love you see.She does new things to me. We sneak our love you's on the phone and the pressure is on and it puts pressure on a man if he ever lets his heart call his hand. He ain't no rolling stone,but the pressure is on. Feel like your ten thousand feet down under the sea and its crushing all your bones and the pressure is on. The trains I ride in my dreams run on the pressure of the steam. Lord I could pull one a mile long cause the pressure is on. Lord I could pull one a mile long cause the pressure is on, the pressure is on, the pressure at home I'm just a man I'm just a man. I breath and I bleed yes I got feelings I can hear and I can see and you are the lady that brings them out of me making me feel special awe thats your specialty. cause you let me be me and I let you be you. Hey don't that sound so easy but that is so hard to do. Some things make me feel sad. I feel like I could cry, feeling you next to me, awe, that makes me feel alright! I'm not made of steel and I'm not made of stone I'm not a super hero I'm made of flesh and bone. I'm just a man I breath and I bleed Yes I've got feelings.I can hear and I can see, And you are the lady that brings them out of me making me feel special, awe, thats your specialty!

To Love Somebody

There's a light, certain kind of light, that never shines on me, I want my life to be lived with you , I want to live with you. There's a way, everbody say, to do each and every little thing, but what does it bring if I ain't got you, if I ain't got you baby You don't know what it's like , baby you don't know what its like, to love somebody, to love somebody like I love you There's a brain. I see your face again and I know my frame of mind. You ain't got to be so blind, because I'm blind so very blind. But Babe I'm a man. Can't you see that I am. I live and I breathe for you. What good does it do? Cause I ain't got you, I ain't got you baby! You don't know what it's like, Baby you don't know what it's like to love somebody, to love somebody, like I love you. You don't know what it's like, baby, you don't know what it's like to love somebody, love somebody like I love you. Baby you don't know what its like, baby, you don't know what it's like..........

Won't it Be Nice

Won't it be nice to see you again seems I've been gone since I don't know when. I've had lonely nights and bottles for friends and it'll be nice to see you again. Babe I've been down since you've been gone its hard to love over a phone but it won't be long now 'til I hold you tight, 'cause I'm coming home.I'll be there tonight. Though I don't always get standing ovations I don't always knock the ball over the fence. My life is not always a perfect situation and it will be so nice to see you again. I used to hate to go home its a bad feeling to be alone theres been some changes since way back then it will be so nice to see you again.

Whiskey on Ice

Woke up this morning tasting Jim Beam Holding the answer to some ole boys dream Got a bad reputation yes I’m a live wire Like my whiskey on ice and my women on fire From Memphis to Mobile I’ve played all the dives Lord knows I’m lucky just still be alive I’m an all around rebel and I won’t be denied Of my whiskey on Ice and my women on fire I like my whiskey on ice and my women on fire I like a good sounded guitar and I won’t be called a liar Spent many long nights with a burning desire for my whiskey on ice and my women on fire Some folks talk about me guess they always will They think it’s been an easy ride and all been down hill What they dont think about what they dont realize is the shoes that I’m filling are a mighty big size One night in Nashville tried to take my life Cause my friends had all left me and so had my wife But a fast ride to Florida made me realize I had some whiskey on ice and some Florida women on fire I like my whiskey on ice and my women on fire I like a good sounded guitar and I won’t be called a liar Spent many long nights with a burning desire for my whiskey on ice and my women on fire I like my whiskey on ice and my women on fire I like a good feelin guitar and I won’t be called a liar I may grow old but I’ll never grow tired Of my whiskey on ice and my women on fire

The Blues Man

I'm just a singer a natural born guitar ringer, kind of a clinger to sad old songs. I'm not a walk behind'er, I'm a new note finder but my name's a reminder of a bluesman that already gone. So I started drinking,took things that messed up my thinking I was sure sinking when you came along. I was alone in the hot lights,not to much left in sight but she changed all that one night when she sang me this song. Hey baby I love you. Hey baby I need you. Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me that your some kind of macho man. You've wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights let me shine some love light down on this bluesman I got so sick from speeding all the stuff they said I was needin if I was to keep pleasing all of my fans. I got cuffed on dirt roads. I got sued over no shows but she came and took all that ole load down off this bluesman. Hey baby I love you too. Hey baby I need you. Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band. I'm thirty years old now nights would be cold now if you hadn't stuck it out in this bluesman. I'm thirty years old now, nights sure would be cold now if you hadn't hung around for this bluesman.
