And I Burn
I don’t know why it happens like this
I fire-up like a rocket ship
Heat coming off don’t stand too close
Then it’s gone before you know
I’ve got fire running in my veins
It ain’t anger and it ain’t pain
Started somewhere in my soul
It burns hotter as I grow old
I can’t fight the fire
I can’t stand the heat
I can get out of the kitchen
But this flame just follows me
And I burn
And I burn
And I burn
And I burn
Somedays I think I’ll turn to ash
Everyone says this too will pass
Now I’ve been burned a time or two
Hard to avoid when the fire is you
You are the one that soothes my pain
You cool me down when I burn again
You are the one that soothes my heart
I would surely die if we ever part
I can’t fight the fire
I can’t stand the heat
I can get out of the kitchen
But this flame just follows me
And I burn
And I burn
And I burn
And I burn

Acquired Taste
CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste
V
Some folks won’t acclimate
no matter what you do
so I can be in your face
or I can be calm and cool
if there’s a road to ruin
then I’ve been first in line
most of the things I do
usually turn out fine
Every once in a bit
things go wildly wrong
then once i’ve fixed that shit
I put it in this song
CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste
V
although I can be obtuse
I might be what you need
I’ll help you win or lose
won’t be a part of concede
it’s hard to be black or white
we live in an age of spin
I ain’t gonna tolerate
I’ll never be might have been
CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste
V
I’m always right up front
you’ll always know just how I feel
I’ll never be on the fence
cause I can be wrong with zeal
I’m tired of all this crap
I’m not gonna front your band
despite all your history
I’ve seen it all first hand
I don’t always speak my mind
that doesn’t mean I don’t care
but when that damn finally breaks
you better just beware
CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste
V
i have been just this way
for probably quite some time
it’s too late to turn back now
I just gotta make it rhyme
if you got a sensitive ear
you better shut your eyes
cause some of the things you hear
will certainly chap your thighs
I don’t wear no corduroy
don’t play no silk and steel
I got a bone to pick
tryin to keep it real
I’m gonna be right up front
so you better watch your back
if you swerve left of right
I’ll yank you back on track
CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste
V
I’m not a magic man
there’s nothing up my sleeve
don’t need to ascertain
the things that I believe
I keep the pocket deep
I always feel the groove
I’m not quite Dr. Gadd
but I can make you move
CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste
an acquired taste

Moving On
Verse 1:
You say that you’ll leave her I know you won’t
I want to believe you The truth is I don’t
You claim that you love me
You must still love her too
You can’t have us both I’ve waited too long
And I’m moving on
Verse 2:
I fell so hard but I didn’t know
You weren’t mine to have
you weren’t mine to hold
I should have run away and never looked back
I can’t change the past This love it won’t last
And I’m moving on
SOLO
Bridge:
Looking back now It’s easy to see
what mattered most Only mattered to me
I could just walk away But I want you to know
I’ve wasted my time I’m letting you go
Verse 3:
To say I won’t miss you would just be a lie
I gave you my heart yours never was mine
I was a fool to think things would change
You made your bed
With the words that weren’t said
And I’m moving on
Tag:
You don’t deserve me
I set myself free
And I’m moving on

HELLFIRE AND BRIMSTONE
Mind your manners, respect your elders, always wear a smile
Know your place, put on a face and act happy all the while
Sugar and spice and everything nice
That's how the old rhyme goes
I was meek and mild as child
I did what I was told
Chorus:
I'm Hellfire and Brimstone
Fireball and Rhinestones
Halo and Angel Wings
Devil Horns and Scary Things
I'm High heels and barstools
Overalls and Power tools
Red Lips and negligees
Wine, Rum and champagne
Don't say this, don't wear that, be everything he needs
Lose some weight, change your hair, it's your job to please
pearls and lace know your place
That's what a good girl does
Always submit don't contradict
That's who they thought I was...
Chorus
I'm Hellfire and Brimstone
Fireball and Rhinestones
Halo and Angel Wings
Devil Horns and Scary Things
I'm High heels and barstools
Overalls and Power tools
Red Lips and negligees
Wine, Rum and champagne
Walk beside me not behind me, that's how it's meant to be
Raise your voice make your choice, follow all your dreams
Trust and caring, truth and sharing
Love that sets you free
Find the ones that understand you
The ones that let you be
Chorus:
I'm Hellfire and Brimstone
Fireball and Rhinestones
Halo and Angel Wings
Devil Horns and Scary Things
I'm High heels and barstools
Overalls and Power tools
Red Lips and negligees
Wine, Rum and champagne

Its A Choice
03:56
|
|
||
It’s a Choice
Chorus:
It’s a choice
you make it everyday
It’s a choice
it’s in the words you say
You can raise your voice
You can hold her hand
You can stand your ground
Or try to understand
But when the day is done
it’s a choice
Verse 1
We sang with Kings and Queens
We did reckless things
Danced the night away
With friends in old Treme
We heard the sirens song
And seemed to have it all
We learned to live
in each other’s thrall
Chorus:
It’s a choice
you make it everyday
It’s a choice
it’s in the words you say
You can raise your voice
You can hold her hand
You can stand your ground
Or try to understand
But when the day is done
it’s a choice
Verse 2
Soon we got a house
we could call our own
We raised the kids
and we built a home
There were highs and lows
We had ups and downs
But we built a place
where our love surrounds
Chorus:
It’s a choice
you make it everyday
It’s a choice
it’s in the words you say
You can raise your voice
You can hold her hand
You can stand your ground
Or try to understand
But when the day is done
it’s a choice
Bridge:
People always say
We want a love so true
You need to talk things out
you need to listen too
I can sing the words
but it’s up to you
Verse 3
Now the kids are gone
There’s a wrinkle or two
We sold the motorbikes
and the blue canoe
We still smile a lot
and we still hold hands
we fill each day
with all the love we can
Chorus:
It’s a choice
you make it everyday
It’s a choice
it’s in the words you say
You can raise your voice
You can hold her hand
You can stand your ground
Or try to understand
But when the day is done
it’s a choice

Hangover
I maybe got a little drunk last night
a few martinis and a little red wine
to Paul's chagrin I woke up feeling great
I'm never gonna learn if there's nothing at stake
Now you know it's happened before
Just one or two becomes three and four
Next thing you know I'm on the bathroom floor
He's gotta pee but I'm blocking the door
Chorus:
He'd like to stop this drinking tour
cause I deserve a hangover
praying to the porcelain bowl
Making promises and selling my soul
A headache at the very least
Or I'll be doing it again next week
If I always wake up feeling fine
I'll start all over with a bottle of wine
Here I go dancing on the bar again
everybody here is my new best friend
My skirt is short, I might have flashed those men
There's no telling how this night will end
Oh no I'm swervin' side to side
Bartender didn't cut me off in time
Now it's up to Paul and Peggysue
To get me home before I'm black and blue!!!
Chorus:
He'd like to stop this drinking tour
cause I deserve a hangover
praying to the porcelain bowl
Making promises and selling my soul
A headache at the very least
Or I'll be doing it again next week
If I always wake up feeling fine
I'll start all over with a bottle of wine
Bridge:
Wine, Rum and chocolate martinis
It's all fun and games when I start drinking
then the f bomb starts flying around
I need to go home before I'm on the ground
Chorus:
He'd like to stop this drinking tour
cause I deserve a hangover
praying to the porcelain bowl
Making promises and selling my soul
A headache at the very least
Or I'll be doing it again next week
If I always wake up feeling fine
I'll start all over with a bottle of wine

Meet Me In The Kitchen

Meet Me In the Kitchen
CHORUS
Meet me in the kitchen
We seem to gather in the kitchen
There’s a lot of rooms
and a basement too
But if you ever get lost
I’ll tell you what to do
Find your way into the kitchen
We’ll be laughing in the kitchen
Make your way into the kitchen
And we’ll make a little room for you
Verse 1
We’ve got a screened in porch
There’s a big back yard
And a living room
that we disregard
There’s a studio (music room)
and a bath or three
But if you have a question
and you’re looking for me
I’ll be hangin in the kitchen
CHORUS
We seem to gather in the kitchen
There’s a bunch of rooms
and a basement too
But if you ever get lost
I’ll tell you what to do
Find your way into the kitchen
We’ll be laughing in the kitchen
Make your way into the kitchen
And we’ll make a little room for you
Verse 2
I had a tiny place
back in '89
I was single then
It suited me just fine
I’d throw epic parties
all my friends would come
We’d drink mas tequila
and jamacian rum
We’d stay up all night
and have to shield our eyes
When the morning came
It was no surprise
we’d be chillin in the kitchen
CHORUS
We seem to gather in the kitchen
There’s a hundred rooms
and a basement too
But if you ever get lost
I’ll tell you what to do
Find your way into the kitchen
We’ll be laughing in the kitchen
Make your way into the kitchen
And we’ll make a little room for you
Verse 3
It almost doesn’t matter
where you go
It could be the house
of someone you don’t know
If the friendships strong
and the mood is right
I can guarantee
by the end of the night
You can find me in the kitchen
CHORUS
We seem to gather in the kitchen
There’s lots of rooms
and a basement too
But if you ever get lost
I’ll tell you what to do
Find your way into the kitchen
We’ll be laughing in the kitchen
Make your way into the kitchen
And we’ll make a little room for you

Bottle Of Whiskey

Bottle of Whiskey
(Chorus)
Bottle of whiskey bottle of wine
bottle of anything that'll alter my mind
don't wanna remember don't want to forget
just want to numb my mind for a little bit
Bottle of Whiskey bottle of wine
one more round one more time
I remember when we first met
All these years gone and I can't forget
The quiet moments and crazy nights
The way it felt when you held me tight
Where did we go wrong
When did it change
When did our love go and fade away
I've never loved like I love you
I never gave all of me till I found you
Now I have nothing
Nothing left inside
So I fill me up with wasted time
(Chorus)
Bottle of Whiskey bottle of wine
bottle of anything that'll alter my mind
don't wanna remember don't want to forget
just want to numb my mind for a little bit
Bottle of Whiskey bottle of wine
one more round one more time
(solo)
(bridge)
I still hear the words it's over
I still hear the slamming door
I still feel my heart exploding
Into pieces on the floor
Have you moved on
Or are you like me
Drinking yourself out of a memory
Do you even remember
Have you any regrets
Would the words I'm sorry ever pass your lips.
(Chorus)
Bottle of Whiskey bottle of wine
one more round

Island
CHO
I'm going to an island.
Island. Island. Island.
you've got to pack up all that day-to-day
turn and go the other way
to an island, Island.
V1
When the week is finally done
and the work is finally through that's the time to have some fun
and I know exactly what to do. It's time to leave behind the daily grind
to find a tropic state of mind
a warm Caribbean atmosphere
where the rum is dark in the waters clear.
Island. Island. Island.
you've got to pack up all that day-to-day
turn and go the other way
to an island, Island.
V2
It's already dark behind the wheel.
Rows of red lights up ahead.
All this sitting still is much too real.
It contradicts the breezes in my head.
I think it's time to put this car in gear.
And get myself way out of here.
To a place where there's not too much land.
Just coconuts and lots of sand.
Island. Island. Island.
you've got to pack up all that day-to-day
turn and go the other way
to an island, Island.
Bridge:
You can get there on a plane or boat.
Or your backyard pool on a rubber float.
You can even simply crank the heat
and dance along to this Island beat.
Island. Island. Island.
you've got to pack up all that day-to-day
turn and go the other way
to an island, Island.

Wonder Woman
You have something bad to say
about everyone you meet
When I'm not around
You talk trash about me
You say you are my friend
but that's not what I see
I know I can't trust you
with the secrets that I keep
You walk into the room
all charming and debonair
when that charm wears off
there's a monster living there
You chip away at souls
leave them broken and apart
You don't deserve my love
and I won't trust you with my heart
Chorus:
I'm not wonder woman
in a star spangled suit
I can't leap over buildings
I can't make you tell the truth
But even without her powers
there's a few things that I know
If your mouth is moving
a lie is being told
I don't need that lasso
or those fancy golden cuffs
You aim your words like bullets
but they just bounce right off
(bounce right off)
You say you care about me
and wanna make things right
you have your own agenda
hidden just out of sight
I won't be taken by your
power and fancy words
Make no mistake about it
my voice it will be heard
Bridge:
Like wonder woman
I have the courage
Like wonder woman
I have the strength
SOLO
Chorus:
I'm not wonder woman
in a star spangled suit
I can't leap over buildings
I can't make you tell the truth
But even without her powers
there's a few things that I know
If your mouth is moving
a lie is being told
I don't need that lasso
or those fancy golden cuffs
You aim your words like bullets
but they just bounce right off
(bounce right off)

Take a Look at Us
Verse 1
Way back when he met me
I could turn a head
Now I wake up every morning
looking like the walking dead.
I know he still loves me
I wear his wedding ring
I may not look like much to you
but I’m his everything
Verse 2
It wasn’t all that long ago
I had big curly hair
Then I shaved it off and
now my head is bare
when i try to grow it back
it always comes out grey
you might miss my big ole mane
But she loves me anyway
Chorus:
We know that we ain’t perfect
we never count the flaws
One without the other
Just won’t work at all
He’s the wine in my tumbler
She’s the whiskey in my cup
If you want to know what love looks like
Just take a look at us
Verse 3
I’ve got a few more pounds,
some wrinkles and some gray
I have a lot of dimples
where they really shouldn’t be
I steal all the covers
or set the bed on fire
don’t you know I’m still the one
that fuels his desire
Verse 4
I do all the cooking
then leave the mess to her
Dishes in the sink and
popcorn on the floor
She launders, cleans and vacuums
Sometimes even mows
I can see she loves me
more than you’ll ever know
Chorus:
We know that we ain’t perfect
we never count the flaws
One without the other
Just won’t work at all
He’s the wine in my tumbler
She’s the whiskey in my cup
If you want to know what love looks like
Just take a look at us
Verse 5
I wake up every morning
slip quietly from bed
by the time noon rolls around
I'm needing to be fed
he rolls downstairs still half asleep
and makes some food for me
I can't even scramble eggs
I'm lucky he Loves me
Verse 6
often times she tells me
right where something is
But when I go to look
you know I can’t find shit
she goes right behind me
and finds it in a blink
i better get my glasses checked
i’m driving her to drink
Alt Chorus
He’s the straight man to my crazy
She’s the calm to my storm
We’ve shared a lot of years
Created our own norm
We’ll never be the people
we were when we first met
but the longer we’re together
the better off we get
Chorus:
We know that we ain’t perfect
we never count the flaws
One without the other
Just won’t work at all
He’s the wine in my tumbler
She’s the whiskey in my cup
If you want to know what love looks like
Just take a look at us
