I Looked Twice!

The woman is a vision
Dancing to the beat
Blonde hair down her shoulders
In high heels she's 6 feet
You watch her perfect body
Supple breasts rise and fall
You see her perfect nipples
Peeking over her bra

She's a beautiful seductress
Totally in control
She was born to be a Showgirl
A natural, high and low
She was born to be a Showgirl
And when she's out on stage
She's the object of attention
With men of every age

A bright red garter belt
Flanks her hips and thighs
Above her stocking tops
Making your penis rise
She works her lovely legs
She knows she's in command
Seamed nylons entice you
Salute those golden gams

She's a beautiful seductress
Totally in control
She was born to be a Showgirl
A natural, high and low
She was born to be a Showgirl
And when she's out on stage
She's the object of attention
With men of every age

Your eyes are reaching for her
Glistening beneath the lights
This young exotic dancer
Is filling up your nights

solo

She knows what you're thinking
You wanna see everything
She moves her nimble fingers
And drops her G-string
Back in her apartment
She's into lifting weights
A female bodybuilder
Her biceps intimidate

She's a beautiful seductress
Totally in control
She was born to be a Showgirl
A natural, high and low
She was born to be a Showgirl
And when she's out on stage
She's the object of attention
With men of every age.

Rap:
Back in her apartment
There's nothing left untried
You give her cunnilingus
You leave her satisfied
Satisfied

I'm viewer #2,let's see if THIS SONG gets some feedback!Jim, this looks like something I wrote,am I starting to rub off on you?Check out Hired Gun,let me know if the girls in these stories are sisters.Obviously I love it if it's like something I wrote,I'm the President of my own Fan Club.I wonder if this will get a tag next to the reply-view box,if it does,it must be for content.Doug

I like this more each time I read/sing it.This and Showgirl really hit the Jackpot with me.Hit the Jackpot is still a saying isn't it?I left you a message before posting this,to make sure it (the message) still applied.It does,so let me know,if not soon then when you get the chance.Bravo,Jim,Bravo.Doug

Oh,you naughty boy!

LOL This one came to me in Las Vegas.

This is from a 1978 album I did with students while working at a military academy east of Nashville. The school is gone, but some of our recordings survived. Tim Morrison is the singer. He went on to play in bands and is now in the insurance business in L.A. I added a bridge and a third verse later, so they are not on this recording. The song and the guitar are a bit antique. One weird thing is the fade-out that never seems to end. I don't think they even do fade-outs anymore. Do they?

Tell me what you're thinking of
I can't read your mind
Tell me, is it really love
I've been way behind
Show me how to sort it out
I've been wrong before
If you leave me any doubt
Then you can find the door

Is it too late
It is too late
Is it Too Late For Love

You say that I'm still a friend
That will never do
Tell me if we're near the end
And I'll get rid of you
You weren't there in my darkest hour
I've been down before
I'll come back once again
And you won't see my door

Is it too late
Is it too late
Is it Too Late For Love

I sit alone every night
I hardly make a sound
I only know it isn't right
I'd like to bring you down

solo

The good times come and then they go
I've seen it so many times
You say I'm not making sense to you
I don't believe your lies

Is it too late
Is it too late
Is it Too Late For Love

Is it too late
Is it too late
Is it Too Late For Love

Her hair is dark and it lays on her shoulders
When she touches me, I feel bold
Her eyes are blue and they sparkle like starlight
When they're watching me, I feel right

Somebody's Taken Your Place
Somebody's Taken Your Place
Somebody's Taken Your Place

Her body's warm when she's laying beside me
Her love is real and it's good to me
Her love is here and it's all inside me
When I'm with her then I feel free

Somebody's Taken Your Place
Somebody's Taken Your Place
Somebody's Taken Your Place

I'm not saying you haven't done me well
Time will tell that you've been kind
Don't go praying for me to change my mind
I'm not that kind, you should know me well

Somebody's Taken Your Place
Somebody's Taken Your Place
Somebody's Taken Your Place

solo

She's 25, and she knows where she's going
She wants to be with an older man
Our love is alive, and it's sure to be growing
A younger woman will understand

Somebody's Taken Your Place
Somebody's Taken Your Place
Somebody's Taken Your Place
Somebody's Taken Your Place

She's 25,and she wants to be with an older man!Lucky you,if it's it's true and not just a song lyric.Kinda like;She was just seventeen and you know what I mean!I wish you luck Jim!

Good rhythm,good rhyme;that's what's makes a good song.(In my opinion)So..........whatcha got that's not 35 years old?Just kidding,but I couldn't think of anything original to say.Good stuff,good stuff!

Thanks, Doug. I record a lot of young women.

I Promise
To give you all my love
When things get tough
I'll never turn my back on you
I'll dry away those tears
Faithful and true
I'll be there for only you

I Promise
To live my life for you
Each and everyday
I'll be by your side
I'll be there through the years
Through thick and thin
I'll be there until the end

They say there are no guarantees
But you've got one from me

I Promise
To give you all my love
When times get hard
I'll give you that much more
I'll dry away those tears
Faithful and true
I'll be there for only you
I'll be there through the years
Through thick and thin
I'll be there until the end
I'll be there until the end
I Promise

This is gospel.

What About The Changes?
In the people who believe
What has happened in their lives
That others do not see
What about the empty tomb
The women came to find
What about eternal life
Can it be yours and mine

The Apostle Paul was briefly
Blinded by the light
The dying thief was rendered
Righteous in His sight
What About The Changes?
That took place at Pentecost
Can it be that all our sins
Went with Him to that cross

The Son of God is watching over us today
Put your trust in Him, and He'll show you the way
What about the Resurrection, can we too survive
Jesus Christ is alive!

What About The Changes?
In the people who believe
Will the Holy Spirit
Be with them on Judgement Day
What about the empty tomb

Driving east from California
Through the Arizona desert
I made a stop for some lunch
And a tank of gas
There was an old Native American
On a bench outside a restaurant
He started talking
When he saw my guitar

He said, I like Songs About Angels
Red western sunsets
I like the feeling
Of autumn in the air
I like Songs About Angels
Music from heaven
Their golden wings
Are like the halo that you wear

It's a long 3 days to Nashville
So I hurried down my food
The CD we were doing
Needed one more song
But before I hit that Interstate
I wrote down these lines
The words he said
Are still running through my mind

He said, I like Songs About Angels
Red western sunsets
I like the feeling of autumn
In the air
I like Songs About Angels
Music from heaven
Their golden wings are like
The halo that you wear

I like Songs About Angels
Music from heaven
Their golden wings are like
The halo that you wear

About my kid sometime after my divorce

Someday Michael's gonna be a man
I only hope he does the best he can
Michael and I have reached
An understanding
I doubt that I will have another
Someday I'd like to be a grandfather
Someday Michael
Will have children of his own

The in-law problem was hard on me
When things fell apart in Tennessee
I couldn't find a job
Things had gotten out of control
This old arthritis was in my knees
Something my wife couldn't see
I had to sell the house
And leave my son to Jesus

Someday Michael's gonna set things right
Money from the house will be a start in life
Money for a car, college
And a home when he needs one
I'm so proud to be his daddy
He's the one thing I would never change
Someday Michael will be
A successful man

The week-end visits and the child support
Fishing in the pond and riding the horse
Remember all the trolly rides
Down in Nashville
The baseball games and movie shows
Dinosaurs and Home Alone
Remember the time we went bowling
Up in Red Wing

Someday Michael's gonna be a man
I only hope he does the best he can
Michael and I have reached
An understanding
I doubt that I will have another
Someday I'd like to be a grandfather
Someday Michael
Will have children of his own

This song is just ripe for the music, Mr. Jim Colyer. Or do you have the music already too? If you're in Nashville this song may be a crowd catcher. There are probably lots of local venues you've played. I would certainly enjoy hearing this song. It is the most personally revealing of your writings that I've seen; usually I see your prose.

If you do play various venues in Nashville, TN, is there a place on ATL where people can advertise that they will be playing? If so, who knows, me and B.G. (Big Guy or DH--Darling Husband) might come for a visit to hear you! We've been to The Blue Bird and another great little theatre years ago where we saw Kiko Matsui when she was more into fantastic jazz than her more recent "easy listening" beautiful music.

Frankie Jasmine,
I do have a melody for this but have never tried to record it. I used to play the songwriter venues in town like the Bluebird and Douglas Corner. Nowadays, I just pitch songs using the Internet.
Jim

OK. Be sure to let me know if you are going to perform around Nashville or if you sell any of your songs--I'd be interested to keep an "ear" out for your art. Thanks.

Will do!

Well, I met you
And it seemed like
It would just go on forever
Everything we touched turned to gold
We had our run
Our day in the sun
Now it's our turn to lose
Even I, Even I Can Sing The Blues

I begged you
And I pleaded
But you went out and found another woman
You're the kind of man who's just gotta have it all the time
You left me lonely
You left me with a baby
Now I'm way down in my shoes
Even I, Even I Can Sing The Blues

Even a white girl can sing the blues
I've gotta crawl back to mom and dad
They're gonna say we told you so
They're gonna say we knew he was bad
They're gonna make me find a job
They're gonna say he made a fool out of you
Even I, Even I Can Sing The Blues
