Takin' It To The Streets (demo)

You don't know me but I'm your brother
I was raised here in this living hell
You don't know my kind in your world
Fairly soon the time will tell
You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in poverty's despair
You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets

Rollin On

Tom johnston
Outside of town there is a river
And it calls to me
Like a song in the night
A whole lotta people make way to that river
Cause it keeps on rollin on
Like everythings alright
That old river just keeps rollin on
Even when all love is just a song
And like that river we just keep on rollin along
Everybody needs somethin they can count on everyday
Like a clock that keeps the time for ya
It never drifts away
You and me you see are different but the same
And though we may not understand each other
We got to try just the same
Now all these thoughts dont mean nothin
If we dont live like we say
And I for one need love and direction
To help me find my way

I Cheat The Hangman

Patrick simmons
The days grow short, the nights are gone
Since you were here, I cant go on
I cried for you, to no avail
Now my life runs cold when the night winds wail
But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before
The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour
Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away
I leave a kiss behind
The rain that fell upon my stone
Like tears you cry I shared alone
I walk the night, I cannot sleep
The love you spend you cannot reap
The glow of love will then shine
Lighted windows stare at the lonely stranger there returning home
Only lighted windows stare at the lonely stranger there returning home

Nothin But A Heartache

Michael mcdonald
So you tell him to say no more
You dont want to know why or where
Where hes been all these lonely nights
You know whats wrong and dont care whats right
As long as he comes back to you
Someone to love him all his life
It aint nothin but a heartache
Darling, youll get over it
It aint nothing but a heartache
Darling, youll get over it
Theres always there comes a day
When love just goes away
When theres no caring, no words to say
Theres no forgiving, no games to play
When all you know will get you through
Seems like youve known it all your life
It aint nothin but a heartache
Darling, youll get over it
It aint nothin but a heartache

One Chain (Don't Make No Prison)

D. lambert/b.potter
Just because in a moment of madness
I took advantage of your sweet love
Dont just hand me a lifetime of sadness
When theres so little Im guilty of
One chain dont make no prison
Two wrongs dont make no right
One rain dont make no river
One punch dont make no fight
Can you spare me a little affection
Would that be askin too much of you
Dont point love in another direction
I swear Ill make it up to you
One chain dont make no prison
Two wrongs dont make no right
One rain dont make no river
One punch dont make no fight
Theres a bed Im keepin empty for you
Theres a lot I know Ive got to prove
Dont let a simple misunderstanding

Real Love

Michael mcdonald/patrick henderson
Darlin, I know
Im just another head on your pillow
If only just tonight, girl
Let me hear you lie just a little
Tell me Im the only man
That you ever really loved
Honey take me back
Deep in my memory
A time when it was all very right
So very nice
Here, darlin, stands another bandit wantin you
In and out your life, they come and they go
Your days and nights like a wheel that turns
Grindin down a secret part of you
Deep inside your heart
That nobody knows
When you say comfort me
To anyone who approaches
Chalkin up the hurt

Dont Stop To Watch The Wheels

Patrick simmons/jeffrey baxter/michael ebert
I was trashed, ridin on my 74
Goin out to even the score
She pulled the top down on her convertible
Ive got a lot of miles to cover
But if you think you need a lover
All right
Climb on, hold tight, I got a long ride tonight
Look out, hold on
Dont stop to watch the wheels go round
Look out, hold on
I got to cover ground
Well, I flashed the colors that I wore
I got to have a little more
Of this sweet, sweet thing
Ive got a lot of miles to cover
But if you think you need a lover
All right
Climb on, hold tight, I got a long ride tonight
Look out, hold on

Keep This Train A-rollin

Michael mcdonald
Sure as that old whistles blowin
Theres a tug upon my heart
Somewhere in that misty mornin light
Theres another brand new start
Sometimes Id love to see this end
And watch it fall apart
cause its still such a long road
And were a long way from the start
You know anyone can say whats wrong
That dont make it right to me
We werent born into this life
To walk away from everything
Once you get the blues in your stride
All you needs a song to survive
You think by now we would know that
Were gonna keep this train a-rollin
We aint gonna break down on this highway
We could sit here waitin, worried, wonderin
Wishin we were somewhere other than right her

Daughters Of The Sea

Patrick simmons
Autumn breeze blowin to the east
Shift of breeze upon a sea of peace
Hear them call, cant you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring
Dizzy dancin, golden ladies
Misty eyes that cannot fool
Silver shoreline waves come crashin
To the end of all of you
Like a spider weavin silken nets
Fingers move, swaying silhouettes
Hear them call, cant you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring
Spinning, turning, moonlit madness
round the fire burnin bright
I can see it risin higher
Lightin up the starry night
Hear them call, cant you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring
Hear them call, cant you hear them sing

Thank You Love

Cornelius bumpus
Why am I soaring high
Just one look and you touched my mind
I have heard of this thing
Now my heart can truly sing
Oh, love is here
Oh, what a feeling, love has set me free
Oh, love is here
You are the one, you are my destiny
You have shown me the way
Now I know love is here to stay
As the path opens wide
We clearly see love cannot hide
Oh, love is here
Oh, what a feeling, love has set me free
Oh, love is here
You are the one, you are my destiny
This is heaven, my dear
Ive never seen love quite so clear
We will wander no more
