High Ballin’ Train
My Mama used to call me
Her little bull in a china shop
Once I start to rolling man
I really don’t want to stop
It ain’t that I’m that stubborn, no
I just travel with blinders on
I’ve got things to do and people to see
I can’t stay very long
CHORUS-I’ve got to keep on rolling
I’m a high ballin’ train
Get on, get off, or get out of my way
My destination’s set
my steel tracks are laid
Get on, get off, get out of my way
SOLO
Some people think I’m rude
when there’s some place I’d rather be
I got no time for waiting around
I've got a date with my destiny
Got no extra time for talking
Unless we talk while we’re on the road
The clock is ticking, we’re burning daylight
I’m booked and I’m bound to go
CHORUS-I’ve got to keep on rolling
I’m a high ballin’ train
Get on, get off, get out of my way
My destination's set
my steel tracks are laid
Get on, get off
Get out of my way
SOLO
As I travel on and on
there’s only one thing that slows me down
it’s a smile from a kindred spirit
That knows what’s got me bound
To an open road with the hammer down
I’m happy rolling down my line
I always know just where I’m going
but I never know what I’ll find
CHORUS-I’ve got to keep on rolling
I’m a high ballin’ train
Get on, get off
Get out of my way
My destination’s set
my steel tracks are laid
Get on, get off
Get out of my way 2x
Let’s Go Lindy
If you want to have the best of times
get yourself a girl who can swing like mine
Let’s go Lindy-Go Lindy Hop
Let’s go Lindy-Go Lindy Hop
When she hits the floor
The girl never wants to stop
If you like dancing-better listen to me
She’s the best stepper that you’ll ever see
Let’s go Lindy-Go Lindy Hop
Let’s go Lindy-Go Lindy Hop
When she starts dancing
The girl never wants to stop
Solo
She’s so sweet, neat and petite
Can’t toss her so high she won’t land on her feet
Let’s go Lindy-Go Lindy Hop
Let’s go Lindy-Go Lindy Hop
When she’s out hopping
The girl never wants to stop
Solo
When the floor is open better ask her fast
All the best leads going to beg for a dance
Let’s go Lindy-Go Lindy Hop
Let’s go Lindy-Go Lindy Hop
When she starts spinning
you hope that she never stops
Drink Me
I am water-down I flow
Fill up your river-add me as you go
Below your valley-where the cottonwoods grow
Roots hold firm-as the wild winds blow
You can’t fight it-I’m what you need
I am water-drink me
I am water-white water Ice
Cruel and unforgiving-but I will suffice
To chill your world-and bind your lake
Three feet thick-don’t make me wait
Hear my call-come to me
I am water-drink me
SOLO
I am water-fill your glass
Doze on your nightstand-as I wait to pass
By your lips-I’ll soothe your throat
Now you are blessed-I will be your moat
in a desert-I can start your seed
I am water-drink me
I am water-I am life
Surround you completely-I’m always inside
I am your ocean-I am your sea
I am mostly you and you are mostly me
gas liquid solid, I’m what you need
I am water-drink me
I’d Rather Be Up
It’s an open book
everybody knows
Not pointing any fingers
not stepping on toes
search around for answers
Don’t buy what’s on the shelf
Judgment is for juries
Just tighten up your belt
Let that coat of black
just fall away
There’s a time to leave
but now it’s time to stay
I’d rather be up than down
I’d rather swim than drown
We can fly so high
above the clouds
I’d rather be up than down
No need to be concerned
No need to be ashamed
Everyone is different
We’re really just the same
Everybody struggles
We all get the blues
No one has the answers
I’m here to spread the news
Drop your shield
let your armor fall away
there’s a time to fight
but let peace have it’s day
I’d rather be up than down
I’d rather fly up off the ground
see the light shining all around
I’d rather be up than down
SOLO
We can help you out
Here you are with friends
We are here to listen
and try to understand
Here you are safe
come and take my hand
You are not alone
with the demons that you fend
Set that load you carry on the ground
It’s time to open up your eyes have look around
I’d rather be up than down
I’d rather swim than drown
We can fly so high
above the clouds
I’d rather be up than down
I’d rather be up than down
I’d rather be up than down
I’d rather be up than down
Damn Good And Ready
I was caught off guard when you first appeared
Sound of your voice made me lose all fear
All trace of time was gone for good
If it could last forever oh how I wished it would
May I audition to be your favorite fool?
I’m damn good and ready to be loving you
Been to the mountain and the valley below
Love can be hard on a truly gentle soul
What was once bitter can be oh so sweet
Flowers gotta bloom to make their lives complete
Stopped to smell your roses can I jump in your pool?
I’m damn good and ready to be loving you
CHORUS-Damn good and ready to be loving you
No cards left to show and nothing left to prove
Eyes wide open it’s time to make your move
I’m damn good and ready to be loving you
SOLO
They say a good man can be hard to find
but here I am waiting if you don’t mind
It’s cold outside, I’m waiting in the snow
when darkness falls I can still see your glow
I’m not afraid to live and I’m not afraid to lose
I’m damn good and ready to be loving you
CHORUS-CBS SOLO-CHORUS
Deepest Blue
Freshman dance-I might have been all of sweet 16
blessed with a secret smile from a baby soft living dream
As I remember-she went to a distant school
And the dress that she wore was the Deepest Blue
We talked and laughed-until it was time to go
we were doomed to fail as young love’s foretold
As we said goodbye-there was nothing that we could do
As I looked into her eyes-they were the Deepest Blue
SOLO
Sometimes at night-when I’m lonely and so afraid
I look towards the East-near the break of day
For in the dark of night-I know that change is coming soon
and the blackest night-will turn the Deepest blue
Oh Deepest blue-I can always count on you
In my darkest hour I know-you‘ll be coming soon
Oh Deepest blue-one thing I know is always true
The darkest night-will turn the Deepest Blue
Yes the darkest night-will turn the Deepest Blue
Rock and Roll Soul
She started to sing before she could talk
She started to dance before she could walk
When she hears the music
It makes her want to jump and shout
She’s got a wall street mind and a punk rock vibe
the blues in her heart and the will to survive
She’s good to go
The girl’s got a rock and roll soul
I’m from the country and I’m just a boy
but when she starts rocking it’s a thing of joy
She lights up the room
when she dances all around
She don’t give a damn what anybody thinks
She said let’s take the Caddy down to the roller rink
She’s good to go
The girl’s got a rock and roll soul
SOLO
When she hears the music she’s drawn to the beat
Ain’t no way to stop her from moving her feet
When the lights go down
She just about loses control
She don’t need money diamonds or pearls
all the girl want’s is to go for a whirl
She’s good to go
The girl’s got a rock and roll soul
I’m from the country
and I’m just a boy
but when she starts rocking
it’s a thing of joy
She lights up the room
when she dances all around
She ain’t afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve
That grown ass woman is the one for me
She’s good to go
The girl’s got a rock and roll soul
She’s good to go
The girl’s got a rock and roll soul
She’s good to go
She’s got a rock and roll soul

Ice In My Whiskey
Don’t put ice in my whiskey
Best not try to cut me thin 2x
I keep my enemies close
I’m loyal to my friends
I keep my old sword on my left side
I keep my pistol on my right
Travel on a tall dark horse darlin’
I sleep damn good at night
SOLO
Gonna saddle up this morning
my pony is bound to ride 2x
It’s getting late in the evening
time to pick a side
Don’t put ice in my whiskey
Best not try to cut me thin
I’m righteous and indignant
You don’t know just where I been
