PERSUASIVE LIPS

She's got Persuasive Lips
Can't call them ruby red
Cos that's a cliche
But they're still red
And I love the lipstick
When it's on my collar
Like Connie Francis
It makes me holler

She's got Persuasive Lips
And I love to kiss them
When she puckers up
And coos, "Oh Jim!"
With lips like honey
There's no resisting
There's no stopping
When she's insisting

Persuasive Lips
They want me
Persuasive Lips
They haunt me

She's got Persuasive Lips
Can't call them ruby red
Cos that's a cliche
But they're still red
And they're seductive
Make me want more
With every kiss
More more more

I THINK ABOUT YOU

Whiskey Bent Saloon
Nashville, Tennessee
Great band on the stage
Just sang Let It Be
They did some Zeppelin
Some Elvis too
When I hear those songs
I Think About You

Strolling up Broadway
Back to the Beaver
Don't wanna be late
Got a date with Sarah
She's a nice girl
Quite pretty too
But it's no good
I Think About You

I can't get you
Outta my mind
I can't leave those
Wild times behind

Whiskey Bent Saloon
Nashville, Tennessee
Great band on the stage
Just sang Let It Be
I sent you a text
Said my love is true
I got an LOL
I Think About You

DESTINY & FATE

We were meant to be together
It was our destiny
Have a few good years
Just you and me
We did a lot of traveling
You sang my songs
I thought nothing
Could ever go wrong

Destiny
It was in the cards
It was meant to happen
It was in the stars
Destiny
The gods ordained it
They must have
I didn't foresee it

You said you wanted a baby
I wanted one too
Those 9 months flew by
They always do
Then there were 3 of us
With his future to think of
College and all that
One more person to love

Destiny
It was in the cards
It was meant to happen
It was in the stars
Destiny
The gods ordained it
They must have
I never foresaw it

Then fate took over
Flip side of the coin
Our marriage broke up
Everything went wrong

Fate
It was in the cards
It was meant to happen
It was in the stars
Fate
The gods ordained it
They must have
I never foresaw it

Destiny is a good thing
Fate is a bad thing
We never know what
Tomorrow will bring

I'VE BEEN CALLED EVERYTHING

I've Been Called Everything
Everything in the book
Been called a racist
Homophobe, sexist and bigot
My dad called me a dreamer
Said I had no judgment
Said he didn't trust me
Said I had no gumption

I've Been Called Everything
Everything you can think of
Been called a pervert
Someone who can't love
Cindy called me a con man
Kay said I cheated the government
Sue called me a liar
Who knows what they meant?

Truth be told
I'm harder on myself
Much more critical
Than anyone else

I've Been Called Everything
Everything in the book
Been called a racist
Homophobe, sexist and bigot
My mom said I was selfish
Said I was no good
Said she raised me twice
I've been misunderstood

EVERYBODY DIES SOMEWHERE

Here I am
In the Gobi desert
Sun beating down
My head hurting
Out of water
I'm on foot
Scorpions crawling
Around my boots

Everybody Dies Somewhere
No way around it
I'll die in the Gobi
Soaked in sweat
Separated from my party
Lost in the desert
I'm getting dizzy
Everybody Dies Somewhere

I came here
Looking for dinosaurs
But it's my bones
That will be discovered
A hundred and twenty
Without shade
Canteen's empty
I'm going crazy

Everybody Dies Somewhere
No way around it
I'll die in the Gobi
Soaked in sweat
Separated from my party
Lost in the desert
I'm getting dizzy
Everybody Dies Somewhere

I wish I'd never
Heard of Tyrannosaurus
Duckbills
Or Stegosaurus

Everybody Dies Somewhere
No way around it
I'll die in the Gobi
Soaked in sweat
Separated from my party
Lost in the desert
I'm getting dizzy
Everybody Dies Somewhere
