I'm ready for warm weather
Baseball and everything that goes with it
It's been a long hard winter
It almost got me down
I'm ready for Daytona Beach
Cookouts and the 4th of July
It's Summertime
And I feel fine

It's Summertime
I'm gonna get out and get me some sun
Summertime
I'm gonna get out and have me some fun
I got my girl by my side
She's a wild one
We're gonna drive out to the lake
And have a cold one

I'm ready for long days
Green grass and a full moon in the sky
It's been a long hard winter
I'm tired of the snow and ice
I'm ready for short shorts
Hot pants, skimpy little bikinis
It's Summertime
And I feel fine

It's Summertime
I'm gonna get out and get me some sun
Summertime
I'm gonna get out and have me some fun
I got my girl by my side
She's a wild one
We're gonna drive out to the lake
And have a cold one

solo

It's Summertime
I'm gonna get out and get me some sun
Summertime
I'm gonna get out and have me some fun
I got my girl by my side
Oooo she's a wild one
We're gonna drive out to the lake
And have a cold one

It's Summertime
Summertime
It's Summertime
Summertime

I'm So In Love
I'm So In Love
You're what I need
I'll always treat you right
I'm So In Love
I'm So In Love
Together we'll find a way
To move the night

Sexy thing from up in Stockholm town
Young and pretty, let your blonde hair down
You're not perfect but you're close enough
You drive me crazy when you strut your stuff

I'm So In Love
I'm So In Love
I'm still fool enough
To believe in fate
I'm So In Love
I'm So In Love
Marry me
I'll take you back to the States

solo

You're so beautiful
You must be a 10
Lucky for me
You like older men

I'm So In Love
I'm So In Love
You're what I need
I'll always treat you right
I'm So In Love
I'm So In Love
Together we'll find a way
To move the night

Teddy bears, Barbie dolls
Daddy's girl, mamma's pride
It seemed like forever
A cheerleader skipping school
Summer fun, boy friends
Growing up together

I was so happy then
The future seemed years away
I was so unprepared
For what I saw today
I looked in the mirror this morning
And I Saw A Woman

Looking for a job
Looking for a man
Where will I find him
Marriage vows, a mortgaged home
Babies of my own
How will we make it

I've got to struggle now
Just to survive
But I know I'll find a way
I'll stay alive
I looked in the mirror this morning
And I Saw A Woman

My mother was a liberated lady
So what does that make me
I wanna do my part
But I also wanna be free

solo

I've got to struggle now
Just to survive
But I know I'll find a way
I'll stay alive
I looked in the mirror this morning
And I Saw A Woman
I looked in the mirror this morning
And I Saw A Woman

I am no environmentalist and wrote this only because I thought it could be a hit. I took it to Al Gore's office in Nashville, but he was not in. Now, Al is galavanting around the globe with a young masseuse.

We're floating on a grain of sand in the vastness of space
If future generations are going to inherit this place
We've got to Save The Planet
Do something while there's still time
Save The Planet
This earth is yours and mine

The tropical rainforest is disappearing more everyday
We'll never replace it, we'd better not burn it away
Save The Planet
The wonders of nature are free
Save The Planet
Have you ever planted a tree?

If the skies are blue
And the oceans too
Isn't this a better home for me and you?
If the air is clean
And the land is green
Wouldn't you like to be part of this lovely scene?

solo

I'm thinking of the animals that once roamed the African plain
Their numbers have dwindled, pretty soon none will remain
Save The Planet
Do something while there's still time
Save The Planet
This earth is yours and mine
Save The Planet
The wonders of nature are free
Save The Planet
Have you ever planted a tree?

Save The Planet
Save The Planet
Save The Planet
Save The Planet
Save The Planet, Save The Planet
Save The Planet, Save The Planet
Save The Planet, Save The Planet
Save The Planet, Save The Planet
Save The Planet
Save The Planet

really great lyrics. Simple and to the point. Nothing too redudant or over reptitive. Very good. Inspiring too in it's own right.

This is really good..well done.

I update this from time to time. When I first wrote it, rock n roll was 20, and Lady Gaga was not yet born. I included Shania because people said she was not country. Reeling rocking is Chuck Berry. Slipping sliding is Little Richard.

Everybody said that it would last a year or two
When Elvis has faded, we'd be into something new
They were wrong, I've seen it proven, many years have flown
We're all proud to see our music come into its own
California to St. Louie, London, Liverpool
Everywhere it's all the same, and everybody's cool
Reeling rocking, slipping sliding, we've been through it all
Looking back across the years, we've really had a ball

Long Live Rock n Roll, that feeling in your soul
Keeps you from getting old, that good old rock n roll
Long Live Rock n roll, come on, let's play some more
Keeps me from getting old, that good old rock n roll

The 60s had The Beatles, and they taught us how to live
Told us what they knew of love and showed us how to give
They're still doing fine although they may have settled down
We still have their music, and those CDs spin around
Three generations moving, grooving, singing with the band
60 years of changes, and it's still in great demand
Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison too
I just hope I live to see it all before it's through

Long Live Rock n Roll, that feeling in your soul
Keeps you from getting old, that good old rock n roll
Long Live Rock n Roll, come on, let's play some more
Keeps me from getting old, that good old rock n roll

Disco dancing with The Bee Gees, I caught that fever too
4 young Swedes called ABBA won it all with Waterloo
Prince, Shania, Lady Gaga making videos
Now we've come full circle, that's how the story goes
Everybody said that it would last a year or two
When Elvis has faded, we'd be into something new
But if you're in Cleveland and you'd like to see their names
Come on down to One Key Plaza to the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame

Long Live Rock n Roll, that feeling in your soul
Keeps you from getting old, that good old rock n roll
Long Live Rock n Roll, come on, let's play some more
Keeps me from getting old, that good old rock n roll

She's wearing platform shoes
Bell bottom pants
She loves to rock & roll
And she know how to dance
She turned 21 today
She's like a flaming fire
She's the apple of my eye
The Object Of My Desire

She's a natural by-product
Of generation X
Never heard of AIDS
She's not afraid of sex
She wraps it around you
Like a Goodyear tire
She's all peaches and cream
The Object Of My Desire

She's not afraid of men
Cos we're all the same
From 18 to 80
It's the same ball game

She's winking big blues eyes
A naughty woman/child
With her long blonde hair
She really drives me wild
She does it all night long
She never seems to tire
She's all sugar and spice
The Object Of My Desire

Primal scream

She's showing off her legs
In a pink mini-skirt
The men gather 'round
Just to watch her flirt
She turned 21 today
She's like a flaming fire
She's the apple of my eye
The Object Of My Desire
She's all peaches and cream
The Object Of My Desire

She said if she didn't get a record deal
She was leaving in the spring
She came up here with ambition
She wanted to sing
These record labels in town
They won't give her a chance
They tell her the business is down
Same old song and dance

She's a Hard One To Lose
If she gets on that plane back to Texas
Bad news
Hard One To Lose
Where would I go after her?
What would I do?

She started out singing my songs
She reads my mind
I fell in love with her
One verse at a time
I told her how I feel
I asked her not to go away
I'll do anything it takes
To make her stay

She's a Hard One To Lose
If she says goodbye to Nashville
Blues blues
Hard One To Lose
Where would I go after her?
What would I do?

I'm not gonna let her go
I'm not gonna let it happen

She's a Hard One To Lose
If she gets on that plane back to Texas
Bad news
Hard One To Lose
Where would I go after her?
What would I do?

I had a house and a car
The money was rolling in
The New York Yankees
Had won The World Series again
My self-confidence
Was higher than it ever had been

I had a job with the State
They taught me how to print
Old Jimmy Carter
Was trying to be the President
Come Friday night
The action was heaven sent

1979, 1979
Everything was fine in 1979
1979, 1979
I was the disco king in 1979

She was out on the floor
I knew it wouldn't take me long
I wore a polyester shirt
She had her bell bottoms on
I was John Travolta
She was Olivia Newton-John

1979, 1979
The world was mine in 1979
1979, 1979
She was my rock & roll queen in 1979

We rode back to the house
I talked her into spending the night
We did it in the living room
And the kitchen twice
I don't remember her name
My God! She sure was nice!

1979, 1979
Everything was fine in 1979

Dana Medley did the vocal. I met her at a writers night in Louisville. She was a drama major at U of L. Had never sung before. I thought she did okay on this cheap demo. Never saw her again

I like going where I go
I like doing what I do
I like knowing what I know
I like living here with you
And baby, I sure like being Free
And baby, I sure like being me

No one tells me how to live
I won't let them run my life
I've got nothing else to give
I won't be part of the strife
And baby, I sure like being Free
And baby, I sure like being me

Ain't no man gonna hold me down
With his two-timing ways
Too many women been wearing a frown
I like my smiling ways

solo

They say the best has come and gone
And we just have to carry on
I don't like their philosophy
I say the best is yet to be
And baby, I sure like being Free
You know baby, I sure like being me
You know baby, I sure like being Free
And baby, I sure like being Free

I was walking through Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Suddenly, I had this vision of Dolly Parton, and this song started coming to me. It must be about her.

She packs them in every night
To watch her sing and dance
And once you've laid eyes on her
You haven't got a chance
She's got you in her spell
As she strums her guitar
She's got the Makings Of A Star

She's played in Las Vegas
Nashville and Hollywood
Everyone who's seen her
Says she's mighty good
Everyone's agreed
This girl's going far
She's got the Makings Of A Star

But I remember when this star
Was just a hometown kid
Starry-eyed and dreaming glory
Playing guitar on her bed
And I remember when she told me
She could never stop
Fame was all that really mattered
And she'd get to the top

solo

So once more she's out on stage
Performing in her show
Responding to applause and people
That's what makes her go
She's a mystery to us
But she knows who we are
She's got the Makings Of A Star
She's got the Makings Of A Star
She's got the Makings Of A Star

I struggled for a week to pay my income tax
I thought I had it made and I could relax
I thought I had a refund coming in the mail
They said I owe more if I don't wanna go to jail
I had to postpone my vacation
I had Bad Information

I got along great with my boy friend
I thought I wouldn't mind getting married again
I ordered a cake, I picked out a dress
He said, "I don't love you, I couldn't care less"
Don't send those invitations
You've got Bad Information

Everytime I think I know what's going on
Somebody comes up and tells me I'm wrong
Somebody feels the need to set me straight
Change my way of thinking, change my fate

solo

I had an appointment at the beauty shop
I thought it was Thursday, 11 o'clock
I ran 3 red lights to get there on time
The girl said, "It's Friday at half past 9"
It's just another complication
I had Bad Information
It's one more aggravation
I had Bad Information

When our love gets covered over
By the daily routine
And the workaday world
Gets lonely and mean
When it's all rush hour traffic
And the 6 o'clock news
Let's make it up to each other
We've got something to lose

Make Something Happen
Show me a sign
Let me know that I'm still yours
And you're still mine
Make Something Happen
A kiss on the cheek
Let's take a vacation
And stay in bed for a week

When my boss and his promotions
Have driven me blind
And our moments together
Are part of the grind
Let's unplug the TV
Disconnect the phone
Let's get off of this treadmill
And make some time alone

Make Something Happen
Show me a sign
Let me know that I'm still yours
And you're still mine
Make Something Happen
A kiss on the cheek
Let's take a vacation
And stay in bed for a week

Honey, our love means more to me
Than all the money in the world

Make Something Happen
Show me a sign
Let me know that I'm still yours
And you're still mine

And stay in bed for a week

And stay in bed for a week

You take my breath, you take me down
You rescued me from the lost and found
When you hold me in your embrace
You Take Me To Another Place

You Take Me To Another Place
You give me strength to carry on
You put a smile upon my face
You Take Me To Another Place

You're always there to lead me on
You don't care if I'm right or wrong
When I'm crazy and I need my space
You Take Me To Another Place

You Take Me To Another Place
You give me strength to carry on
You put a smile upon my face
You Take Me To Another Place

It's a place where love is the answer
A place where happiness is a way of life

I left you in Nashville
With that sadness on your face
I had to take some chances
I had to find some space
I came out here to Denver
With nothing but my guitar
Playing for my dinner every night
In this country music bar

Snowflakes In A Blizzard
We're all different, and we're all the same
Flying in all directions
Melting in the summer rain
Snowflakes In A Blizzard
It's alright
I can sing and play my music
Every night

There's a cabin in the mountains
And a girl who looks like you
She listens to my troubles
She don't tell me what to do
It's not that I don't miss you
Part of me still cares
I just needed a change of scenery
And this Colorado air

Snowflakes In A Blizzard
We're all different, and we're all the same
Flying in all directions
Melting in the summer rain
Snowflakes In A Blizzard
It's alright
I can sing and play my music
Every night

It's alright
If love, even life, is fleeting
It's alright
As long as I've got my freedom

solo (verse)

Snowflakes In A Blizzard
We're all different, and we're all the same

Melting in the summer rain

I was just sitting here looking in your face
And you look like a movie star
But you're not some anonymous woman in a film
I know who you are
You're the woman I keep running back to
And you've made my life full
God! You're Beautiful!

I was just thinking here laying on the bed
When you let your hair hang down
You're like a Greek goddess in a negligee
You really turn me on
You're the woman I can't get enough of
I can't resist your pull
God! You're Beautiful!

solo

I see you smiling and laughing in my dreams
Everyday when I'm at work
I long to kiss those succulent lips
And see those flashing eyes
You're the woman I keep running back to
You've made my life full
God! You're Beautiful!

You're Beautiful!
You're Beautiful!

I just had to get out of the city this morning
I woke up with a headache, it wouldn't go away
You know, those sirens sometimes drive me crazy
I drove out to Lebanon, I had to see some country

I thought about the way we were 20 Years Ago
I thought about our son, he's growing up
I wondered what happened to the love we used to know
I guess we used it all 20 Years Ago

I was in a daze, I got halfway to Knoxville
Before I turned that Nissan truck around
No, I didn't go by the old place
I had a liver and onions dinner over at Shoney's

I thought about the way we were 20 Years Ago
I thought about our son, he's growing up
I wondered what happened to the love we used to know
I guess we used it all 20 Years Ago

I will Never hurt
Never make you cry
I will not desert you
Never tell a lie

I could Never do the things
That I've done to her
She could not teach me to love
I believe you can

I will Never leave you
Never be unkind
I'll Never let the darkness
Get into my mind

I can only say the things
That I feel inside
She could Never understand
What I've had to hide

Everytime they think I'm dead
I rear my ugly head
Everytime they think I'm done
They see I've just begun
Everything is just a phase
F*ck the latest craze
Financial security
Is all that matters to me

Gimme Some Money!
Gimme Some Money!
Gimme Some Money!
Gimme Some Money!

They say looks are everything
You know what I mean
The good ones may be taken
But the game goes on forever
Without money we don't eat
We're living in the street
If you're not a billionaire
Then I don't really care

Gimme Some Money!
Gimme Some Money!
Gimme Some Money!
Gimme Some Money!

Gimme all the money in the world
You can have everything else
Better to be rich and miserable
Than to be miserable and poor

Gimme Some Money!
Gimme Some Money!
Gimme Some Money!
Gimme Some Money!
