Saying anything.

There is a sign there saying
Texas Longhorns.

Every thing you want.
If it ain't about love,
Hey, baby I'm gone.
The only thing I do
I do wrong.
Is to take you, take you

THE LAST HOUR
Oh, my love has been wasted,
Wasted on you.
Baby, you hurt me,
You hurt me good.
Everyone makes mistakes.
Every time you break, me down.
It's the last call.
Getting down to the wire.
We're closing in on the last hour.
It's the last call.
Getting down to the wire.
Every time you take me.

But, you broke my heart.

Getting down to the last hour.
Oh, my heart has been bleeding,
Bleeding for you.
Baby, you hurt me,
You hurt me good.
You just want to take and take,
Until you break, me down.
It's the last call.
Getting down to the wire.

Getting down to last call.

Touches like I never knew.
She is moving to the beat.
I love her,

I'M A STAR TODAY
In a late morning truck stop,
In a small town coffee shop.
She is pouring it on hot and serving up some.
Her hair pulled back in a blond pony bob,
Countin' on tips, so she can move on.
Gunna make it to the stars.
Penny Joe is her name, you know.
And she drives some broken Buick.
She hadn't enough dough for a fancy car.
Her money saved up in her sock drawer.
Countin' on when she could move on.
Gunna make it someday, far.
A little town sure talks a lot
And every knows her.
They tease her about being a star, someday.
She smiles and laughs a lot,
'Honey, I already am a star.
Baby, I'm a star today."
Baby, I'm a star today.
Brighter than a smile, she'd say.
Baby, I'm a star today.
For you all.
Baby, I'm a star today.
Higher than the sky, she'd say.
Baby, I'm a star today."
She makes you feel glad that you had come
To a small town hold in the wall.
Where life is slow and talk is proud.
And whenever I'm low, I think of her.
Serving up jokes and making up toast.
I know in my heart, that she's right, somehow.
Baby, I'm a star today."
Baby, I'm a star today.
Brighter than a smile, she'd say.
Baby, I'm a star today.
For you all.
Baby, I'm a star today.
Higher than the sky, she'd say.
Baby, I'm a star today."

BITCH IN BLACK
She knew the moment,
She put on the glasses.
She was stunning in a black dress and pearls.
So, she took the car and filled the gas up
Before heading out of town to a bar.
Taking 101 North toward the shore.
All dressed up
She was a
Bitch in black.
He couldn't ask for more
He fell in love with a
Bitch in black.
The second she came in the door.
He guided toward her
To ask for her number.
He was the kind of guy woman ignored.
But, he had to have her,
And he had to ask her, so,
He caught her as she came in the door.
He could see what she was there for.
She was a
bitch in black.
He couldn't ask for more
He fell in love with a
Bitch in black.
The second she came in the door.
She knew the moment
He came up to ask
What he was going to say to her.
So, she took his hand and whispered in his ear.
Exactly what he wanted to hear.
The moon was high in the evening sky.
Taking 101 to a hotel.
All dressed up
She was a
Bitch in black.
He couldn't ask for more.
He fell in love with a
Bitch in black.
The second that she walked in the door.

IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
I loved him, even though I ran
from the arms of man named Brian.
He had me, even though he didn't know.
I was there,
in the palm of his hand.
Where he held me in his dreams
and his true love came forth to me.
And I knew I could never be free.
I was there,
in the palm of his hand.
His name was to me, a sign.
Even though, I had heard it said
one time.
Before, he could understand.
I was there,
in the palm of his hand.
Where the blend of our spirits would sing.
A true love is a wonderful thing.
And I knew I would always love him.
I was there,
in the palm of his hand.
There are things that are just meant to be.
And you know you can never escape.
The tide of our heavenly fate.
There,
In the palm of his hand.
The Lord blessed our union with gold
and paved us a fortunate road.
For we know in our hearts we are good.
For it is there,
In the palm of his hands.
And our love will conquer all woo
And we'll live with the father and stars.
And together we'll always be.
There,
In the palm of his hand.

BLOOD IN THE WATER
I take to the sea, sailing.
I make the waves.
Smiling, over the waters.
The wind at the helm.
Star born and stubborn.
I don't take no lying down.
But, there's blood in the water.
I know he's coming for me.
There's blood in the water.
Somebody come and save me.
I take on the crowd, shaking.
I take their hands.
Shouting over the swarms.
The evening is warm
And he is soft spoken.
He won't take no anyhow.
He knows,
There's blood in the water.
Come, somebody come and help me.

Blood in the water.

WE'RE POETRY IN MOTION
Let's make love,
He asks of me.
And I couldn't more
Agree.
We're poetry
in motion.
When you’re here with me.
We're poetry in motion.
In between the sheets.
Our bodies move in rhythm
To a single heart beat.
We're poetry in motion.
Like a love machine.
Our love making is magic,
making magic in time.
Moving to the tempo
of your heart and mine.
We're poetry together,
you and I.
Our hearts are beating faster
as further we climb.
It feels so good together,
every time.
We're poetry in motion.

B BOPPIN' DOWN ON BROADWAY
Feelin' pent up in a gloomy room,
she had to get out and let it loose.
So, she put on a hot little number of boots
and started a walkin' to the grove of this tune.
She was a B Boppin' down
on Broadway, babe.
She had a boogie beat
that was makin' a craze.
She was B Boppin' the town
with her boogie hot boots.
Swinging her hips
and a havin' a hoot.
The traffic backed up in a hectic jam.
Honkin' and beepin', she smiled and waved.
Out of the jam came a police man,
he said, "what you think your doing there, mame."
She was a B Boppin' down
on Broadway, babe.
She had a boogie beat
and she started to wave.
She was B Boppin' the town
with her boogie hot boots.
Swinging her hips
and a havin' a hoot.
She said, "Officer Bob, I'm doing nothing wrong.
I'm just a B Boppin' down on my walk.
I do what I want 'cause you've got your job,
There's nothing you can do but follow along."

FINGERPRINTS
Inside the walls of the castle,
for her grace the stones are real.
On her head, the crown of glory.
On the throne, how does it feel?
She's sitting pretty like a princess.
Stomps her foot and starts to pout.
Where's her prince in shining armor?
To give her freedom, let her out.
I want love fingerprints.
Love and promises from a prince.
I want love fingerprints.
Love and promises from a prince.
The King and Queen protect her virtue
like it was a titled prize.
Not a man good enough to touch her
and keep her satisfied.
What's the matter with their daughter?
She had everything a girl could need.
Fine clothes and spending money.
The mote is always good for a swim.
I want love fingerprints.
Love and promises from a prince.
I want love fingerprints.
Love and promises from a prince.
He rode swiftly from the mountains
of a land far and proud.
A prince of determination,
Riding high to win his love.
Then, the prince stormed the castle.
He killed the guards with his sword.
And let loose a noble mistress.
The princess was common now.
I want love fingerprints.
Love and promises from a prince.
I want love fingerprints.
Love and promises from a prince.

CAN'T LIVE TODAY FOR TOMORROW
Many times I've tried to take it,
I need a little room.
Every time I try to tell you,
you crush my words and make them cold.
I don't love you, really.
As a woman, I have grown.
I need a place to show it,
I need a place that I can call my own.
I can't live today for tomorrow.
I can't live for the day
that you'll be my lover.
Whatever I'm waiting for,
It won't be forever.
I can't live today for tomorrow.
Many times I've known it's over,
I need a little strength.
But every time I try to leave
You hurt my heart and turn to ice.
I can't love you, really.
As a woman, I have known.
I need a place to show it,
I need a place that I can be myself.
I can't live today for tomorrow.

Whatever life will bring,
it will be for the better.
I can't live today for tomorrow.
You give me reason for reason,
You give me belief to leave.
You give me reason for freedom
I need to fill my needs.
I can't love you this way.
If it's hurting, it's no good.
I need a place to bare it.
I need a place where I can heal. my soul.

THE DAY BEFORE TOMARROW
The day before tomorrow,
I prepared for my future.
The one I planned with you.
I threw away the excess garbage,
to clean the path for new.
Tomorrow would be here soon.

beginning to make our life new.
This is the beginning,
the day I start my life with you.
We're just beginning,
to make all our dreams come true.
This is the beginning,
the day I live my life for you.
The day before tomorrow,
I thanked my lucky stars.
The one named after you.
I hoped each day and each night I prayed for,
a love who would be you.
Tomorrow it will come true.

THE STORY IS OVER
You close the door behind you
and feel the chill in the air.
The moon lights your face.
You drive in silence
and tell yourself you don't care.
She is only playing games.
The story is over,
Your heart is breaking
as it begins to sink in.
The story is over,
your heart is bleeding.
This is the end.
The night is full of hunger
and the emptiness of the morning
breaks your soul,
as you try to keep control.
Her lips were soft and inviting.
She brushed her hair back,
firmly saying the words that
brought tears to her eyes.
The story is over,
and all you wanted
was to make love once last time.
The coldness washes raw,
the aching in your heart.
It breaks your soul
as you try to hold on.
The story is over.
Her words haunt your head,
This really is the end.
And she trembled
as she showed you out the door.
The bonds of love broken,
she never would be yours.
The story is over,
your head in your hands.
This is where it ends.

And the subject of my recent work.

Nor ever would I.

It started in my teens when I discovered men.
And I've been put through hell cuz 'em ever since.
Yeah, all the men I know go
Crazy.
All I know, is off they go

So, I got a job in the local mall.
When flowers started showing up from some guy Bob.
I had to call the shop to make it stop.
So, Bob became a peeping Tom.
Yeah, all the men I know go
Crazy.
All I know, is off they go

My sister's friend decides to hit on me.
The neighbor calls cuz the guys up in my tree.
And the telephone rings and hangs up again.
The grocery clerk got my number off my checks.
Yeah, all the men I know go
Crazy.
All I know, is off they go
Being crazy.
I was seeing this guy who became a Jesus freak.
He'd bite his hand because sex was a sinful thing.
I told him please, don't ever call.
So, he follows me through a wall mart store.
Yeah, all the men I know go
Crazy.
All I know, is off they go
Being crazy.
Some guy that recently asked me for a date
to the funeral of a beloved friend.
All I know is it happens over again and again.
Yeah, all the men I know go

Being crazy.

Man like you.
But, I met alot of jerks
And that’s the truth.

Or what to do.

Man like you.

And I wonder why.
When I close my eyes,

Sweet as the sunshine
In the afternoon.
No, I never met a
Man like you.
They say life is short
But it's been long to me.
Waiting for Mr. Right
And a family.
I wish on every star
And on every found penny.
No, I've never met a man
That's been good for me.
I call your telephone
Just to hear it ring.
I hear your male voice
And it makes me want to sing.
Now, the sky is clear and calm
Because your sweeter than love.
And I thank the stars above
for answering me.
No, I never met a man
Who's been good to me.

And the air is still whispering
a rhythmic tune.

LOVE WAS IN MY HOUSE
When I'm down and lost,
On the spot,
He's suddenly there.
And every time I'm insecure,
He finds a way to care.
Once I dreamed of being loved,
Then, I woke up somehow.
It was right in front of me,
Love was in my house.
When he got up to leave,
It occurred to me.
That anytime I want his love
That he would come to me.
Once I wished to find true love
But that was fantasy.
So, I opened up my eyes
And now I see.
I don't know how I missed the signs,
Every time,
I looked at him.
Because he does his best,
Not to let it show.
But now I know
What is for real.
When I'm sad and blue,
He is who
Is there for me.
And every time I'm unsure,
He finds a way to say.
What else is there to being loved
Then being around.
It was right in front of me,
Love was in my house.
It was right in front of me,
Love was in my house.

In the field of the

We live in a world of dreams.
So, I gather up the guitar
And hit the road real hard.

Pack up my life up in the car.
Become a star to fill my needs.
There was a time when life was simple
And I didn't want a thing.
I was happy cooking in the kitchen
where I could sing.
Now, it seems so long ago,
Now, here I'm going for broke
Trying anything to grab that ring.
Going for broke,
Like my heart has been again and again.
It doesn't matter anymore.
It doesn't matter,
It doesn't matter as a matter of fact.
Going for broke
And I'm gunna grab that ring.
"Cause there's nothing,
nothing anyone can take.
Going for broke
All I have left are my hopes.
And there's nothing,
Nothing anyone can save.

TEN SONG FLING
He was a good natured man
Still living in the past
And dwelling on the meaning of his life.
She waltzed in delighted,
Just knowing how to find him.
Pretty little temptress tonight.
Anyone could feel her heat
As she set her eyes on him
And reminded him of the meaning of life.
But to her he was nothing.
Not a thing.
Nothing but a ten song fling.
'Where have you been all my life?"
was her favorite line
and he struggled just to say the right thing.
When he offered to dance
And he took her by the hand,
She said, "Honey, will you be mind tonight?"
He was floating to the song
That he loved to sing along.
Just waiting for the timing to be right.
But to her he was nothing.
Not a thing.
Nothing but a ten song fling.

MAN AFTER MY HEART
The wan moon sleeps at night,
Untouched by words.
Too soon the flowing west broods,
He's in one of his moods.
He takes his guitar,
Like it was a woman
And soon it starts to cry.
Give me all the love you've got,
Give me all the love you've got,
You’re a man after my heart.
The air is soft as skin,
Beautiful and proud.
Aching for a sound,
So he turns it up real loud.
And he plays his guitar,
Like it was a token.
And soon it starts to beg.
Give me all the love you've got,
Give me all the love you've got,
You're a man after my heart.
The shadows fall to one
Of two lovers in need.
His soul is on the rise,
Slow and melancholy.
So, he plays his guitar,
Like it was his lover
And soon it starts to please.
Given all the love he's got,
Given all the love he's got,
He's a man after my heart.

A BAD DAY'S COMING
You know it's on it's way
when the sun is setting slow.
And you lie awake in bed
with no place for love to go.
The morning breaks,
Your head aches
And your out of coffee and eggs.
A bad day's coming,
A bad day's on it's way.
You know your running late
So you pack up in the car.
Trying to stay awake,
Trying to get ahead is hard.
Given all it takes,
Just trying to make the breaks
And your out of hope and strength. You know,
A bad day's coming,
A bad day's on it's way.
All you want to do is give up
'cause any day without love
can't be good.
You can't satisfy your needs,
You can't change the way you feel
Like nothing good will ever stay.
A bad day's coming,
