Lyrics

Bedroom Eyes

-Chorus-
Jet black hair, long red nails.
She's all girl, gems and pearls.
Bedroom eyes, she tells such pretty lies.
She is mine, I'm her prize.

-Verse-1-
Pull an easy line, a lazy smile.
I'll get it all, just keep it light.
We'll paint town, she'll wear my crown.
Gotta be so suave, with such panache.

-Chorus-

-Verse-2-
She's just so good, she’s such a lusty pill.
She's closing in, closing in for the kill.
Gets what she wants, I'm all on fire.
'Cause she's all long legs, and wavy hair.

-Chorus-

Wildfire

-Verse-1-
Some days they just burn like a wildfire,
It's in the air, romance is on the breeze.
Lover's doin' silly things together,
Forever and ever, love’s for ever baby.

-Chorus-
Gotta live a little, take a little risk,
Life's too short, it's much too short to waste.
Take a little hate, from those who wait,
Give a little love back, to those live it to the fullest.
‘Cause time won’t wait, it’s rushing by fast,
It's here today, this moment's gone tomorrow.

-Verse-2-
You think I’m a temper with a short fuse,
A conman with a good for nothin' ruse.
But you'll never see the real me, if you don't,
Take a chance, take a leap in the breeze.

-Chorus-

-Verse-3-
Now there’s a wise man with a tale to tell,
And there’s a good man, you will never sell.
But you'll never find a better man, if you don't,
Don't take a chance, take a leap in the breeze.

-Chorus- (*3)

Love Lights the Way

-Verse-1-
Well I rode out of my father's house,
With a high opinion and a hell of a mouth.
Had a death's head Harley and a highway south,
I had no more questions I was gettin' out.
I heard the whine of the motor,
And I screamed 'cause I was free.
But I swear I heard them angels laugh,
As they whispered down at me.

-Chorus-
They're say-ing,
Hey there Moses turn around,
The promised land it ain't where you're bound.
The three ringed kings they won't come around,
If you don't let your love light the way.

-Verse-2-
Well you can oust the reins and slip the ties,
But you'll never, never lose those lies.
It's so darned easy to philosophise,
Drinkin' milk and honey in paradise.
Well I swore that I was innocent,
I swore I had no sin.
But I hear the voice of every woman,
Who ever tried to lock me in.

-Chorus- (*2)

WildRide

-Verse-1-
Sleazy easy, sweet little chick,
She could've been turnin', high class tricks.
Skirt and legs, up to her hips,
Rock star groupie, and me she picks.

-Chorus-
You're a wild ride, and you know I love it baby.
You're a wild child, and you know I love it baby.
You're a wild lady, and you know I love you baby.
You’re a wild ride, yes I love you baby.

-Verse-2-
Scared of life, thought I was cool.
Never got too far, but I'm nobody's fool.
A crazy young girl, I never would choose,
Now she breaks all the rules, I'm the lovin' fool.

-Chorus- (*2)

Be Mine Tonight

-Verse-1-
The devil's in my rambling boots,
Treadin' in, whenever I choose.
An old man runnin' for his long lost youth,
Still goin' his way, in search of truth.

-Chorus-
Swing me round, and switch me down,
Bring me round, let's hit this town.
Be mine tonight, let's still this fight,
Bring me in, take me with you tonight.

-Verse-2-
For the devil's in my rambling boots,
Pushin' me on, whenever I choose.
I'll find a mountain, most won't climb,
Burn it to ash, then take my time.

-Chorus-
So turn me up, and switch me on,
Turn me over, let me alive.
Pull me in, soothe my shoulder's chip,
Let me swing, take me with you tonight.

-Verse-3-
For the devil's in my rambling boots,
I wonder in, in search of truth.
I'll find a mountain, never climbed,
I'll burn it down it down, in my own good time.

-Chorus-
Swing me round, and switch me down,
Bring me round, let's hit this town.
Be mine tonight, let's still this fight,
Bring me in, take me with you tonight.

-Chorus-
So turn me up, and switch me on,
Turn me over, let me alive.
Pull me in, soothe my shoulder's chip,
Let me swing, take me with you tonight.

The Right Line

-Verse-1-
This is the morning her love will be she will be rising.
The red sky tonight will be her sheperd’s delight.

-Chorus-
She's got a feeling of waiting on the right time,
And she's been leaning through the right line.
The people around her don't believe,
In fairy tales and fantasy's.

-Verse-2-
This is the morning she's gonna be changing.
She could be deceived, oh she knows - but she doesn't care anyway.

-Chorus-
He's got a feeling she's waited for the right time,
'Cause he's been leaning through the right line.
But she isn't gonna be easy to deceive,
His ball and chain, her fantasy.

-Verse-3-
On love's next evening he could be leaving.
If they don't see it straight he could be found a stealing - off into the night.

-Chorus-
Did your mother ever tell you that love conquers all?
And peace never happens if you don't risk a fall - 'cause you didn't try anyway.
Now you and your shadow you're alone in there,
She was always so sure that the castles were real up there.

-Chorus-
We had a feeling of waiting on the right time,
That we’d been leaning through the right line.
Got a feeling of waiting for the right time,
And I’ve been leaning through the right line.

Quick Sand Man

-Verse-1-
He's shooting the breeze,
And livin' the moment free.
Same old people, same old stories,
Same old glory's.

-Verse-2-
He's sick of this town,
And all these clowns, the winners and losers, they're all the same.
Playin' the same old games,
The same old games, ‘till he can't remember his name.

-Chorus-
She's thinkin', she's sinkin', quick sand man,
Fate always dealt her such a bad hand.
Such a bad hand, such a bad hand,
Fate always dealt her such a bad hand.
He's a user, a six time loser, drowns himself,
In alcohol, his only friend.
Jack Daniels, his only friend,
Even when she cheats, deals herself such a bad hand.

-Verse-3-
It's in his bloodline,
He can't be blamed, it's just his way.
He don’t wanna make the cut,
He wants no more pain, but gets no more gain.

-Chorus- (*2)

Let's Get Real

-Verse-1-
She's always sayin', how do I feel?
She always sayin', hey baby let's get real?
She's always askin', is this for real?
She's always askin', hey baby what do you want?

-Chorus-
Well I don' know baby,
I just don't know baby.
Well I don' know baby,
And I don' really care.

-Verse-2-
She's always askin', is this real?
She's always askin', hey baby how do you feel?
Let’s take it slow, let’s just take it slow.
I don’t wanna be cruel, so let’s just be cool.

-Chorus-

-Verse-3-
Let’s just take it slow, like this it will end.
We started out as friends, like this we will end.
It’s just too much baby, like this we will end.
We started out as friends, we’ll split in the end.
-Chorus- (*2)

Chillin' Me Down

-Verse-1-
Baby I'm just dreamin', whilin' away the time.
Baby I'm leanin', way over towards you now.
Time it is so sweet, time it is so neat, time is a friend of mine.
In my eyes you're a slow heat, a long, slow burnin' fire.

-Verse-2-
Baby I'm just dreamin', whilin' away the time.
Baby we're steamin', maby we're winnin', I'll be with you tonight.
You're on my mind, my only heart's desire.
You're all' I need, my long, slow burnin' fire.

-Chorus-
Chillin' me slowly, chillin' me easy, chillin' me down tonight.
Chillin' me slowly, chillin' me easy, chillin' me down tonight.

-Verse-3-
Baby I'm just dreamin', whilin' away the time.
Baby I'm leanin', way over towards you now.
Cool breeze on my mind, keeps me swingin' easy all the time.
Soft evenin' chill in the air, of you I'm so aware.

-Chorus- (*2)

Halfway Around

-Chorus-
Halfway up, and halfway down,
Halfway to heaven, and halfway to hell.
You'll never know, it's too soon to tell,
You'll never see it, just wait 'till it goes.

-Verse-1
I'll be there, wait up for me,
I'll be home, before the sun falls.
It never suits you, to cry so for so long,
It just never sells me, …

-Chorus-

-Verse-2-
I'm all there, I'm in your heart,
I'm all the way, I'll never fail you.
Could it be, could we be,
Headed for heaven, or headed for hell.

-Chorus- (*2)

Fond Memories

-Verse-1-
Hey baby, you got what it takes, you've got what it takes.
Mosey those that little smile right on over here.
Hey baby, you got what it takes, you've got what it takes.
Bring me into your little plans, for the day.

--Chorus--
Fond mem'ries, looking back on what was,
Now that you're here, that you're here, that you're here.
Fond mem'ries, of my youth, passing through,
Fond mem'ries, of old truths, flashing through.

-Verse-2-
Hey baby, you got what it takes, you've got what it takes.
Bring that smile right on over here.
Hey baby, I got everything you need, got everything you need,
My heart hears your voice, and you captured my heart.

-Chorus- (*2)

Cupid

-Verse-1
It's 3 in the morning,
I'm tired and restless, I'm just yawning.
Just wanna go home now,
Just wanna get on home to my bed now.

-Chorus-
Took me by surprise,
Snuck up on me and stuck me like a thief in the night.
Lightning it struck me,
Cupid got me so good, oh so real good.

-Verse-2-
It's still 3 in the morning,
And I'm still sittin' here, talkin' to you.
The truth is so simple,
Right now I don't see it, by the light of day I'll wanna run.

-Chorus-

-Verse-3-
Now I'm all black and blue, and bothered by you,
I see I'm just addicted, addicted all to you.
Someday I might be lost without you,
I'm gonna fly so high I'm never gonna come on down.

-Chorus-

Memories of Home

-Verse-1-
Scattered remnants, mem'ries,
Of another, way of life.
Long lost pictures, people,
In my eyes, out of site, out of mind.
Lost to misty, noises,
Of the past.

-Verse-2-
Darkened shadows, windows,
On old souls, so long gone.
Long dark visions, of the future,
In old, old songs.
Scattered remnants, misty,
Scenes of daylight, a withered rose.

-Chorus-
Racing the moonlight, tracing the sunlight.
Shadows of other worlds, dusty tomes in time.
Racing the moonlight, tracing the sunlight.
Silvery slivers in time, flavoured with deep red wine.

-Verse-3-
Scattered remnants, mem'ries,
Of that other way of life.
Long lost pictures, through the mist,
Of the people behind my eyes.
Lost from sight, noises,
Background, faded into the past.

-Chorus-
Now I'm racing the moonlight,
I'm tracing the sunlight.
Those shadows of other worlds,
Are like dusty tomes in time.
'Cause I'm racing the moonlight,
And I'm tracing the sunlight.
Those silvery slivers in time,
Are now flavoured with deep red wine.

-Chorus-
Racing the moonlight,
Tracing the sunlight.
Racing the moonlight,
Tracing the sunlight.
