LYRICS
COFFEE, GIN, WOMEN AND WHISKEY
Well I pulled into Tahoe late one night.
My back was ach’n and my neck was tight.
I saw a sign by the road, lit up in neon lights.
So I hit the brakes and I went on in.
There was a Chinese girl her name was Kimberly Lynn.
And she smiled politely and said hello sir how do you do
Well I said, I don’t need no new addiction
Coffee, gin, women and whiskey
I got along so far with just those few
Well guitars and cigars are all need
An old Ford pickup with just three speeds
A nice cold beer and a 44 and I’ll make do.
Well I left place and I hit the gas
pointed it north, up towards the mountain pass
there was a girl with a sign, look’n for a ride up to Reno
so she jumped on and she leaned on back
she lit up a pipe loaded with crack
and she smiled politely and said hello sir how do you do
Well I said, I don’t need no new addiction
Coffee, gin, women and whiskey
I got along so far with just those few
Well guitars and cigars are all need
An old Ford pickup with just three speeds
A nice cold beer and a 44 and I’ll make do.
I pulled into Reno and I parked my car.
Crossed the street to hit the local bar.
There was a room in the back where if you want you could sit down and gamble
There was a pretty young thing with big red lips who was pass’n out drinks and gambling chips
And she smiled politely and said hello sir how do you do.
Well I said, I don’t need no new addiction
Coffee, gin, women and whiskey
I got along so far with just those few
Well guitars and cigars are all need
An old Ford pickup with just three speeds

MANITOBA LINE
December 2020 I got a sweet little thing here in San Antone, works all day at the savings and loan. I got a brother locked up in the county jail, won’t let’em out til I post his bail. Friday night, half past one, packed my bag, grabbed my gun. Hit the bank, grabbed the cash, out the door, like a flash. You look left, I’ll look right, we’ll slip off into the night. Down the road off a ways, cops are waitin in the haze. Train is comin down the track, sorry momma but we ain’t comin back. You look left, I’ll look right, we’ll slip off into the night. Morning news tells the story, two armed men bound for glory. Lock your door, this ain’t no ruse, they’re out there somewhere on the loose. You look left, I’ll look right, we’ll slip off into the night. Train is rollin down the track, wheels are turnin clickety clack Into Tusla half past ten, that whistle blowin now and then. Split the money, jumped the train caught an eighteen wheeler in the pourin rain. Fifth of whisky and a bottle of wine, headin up north to the Manitoba Line You look left, I’ll look right, we’ll slip off into the night. You look left, I’ll look right, we’ll slip off into the night. |

Sunday morning, gonna get dressed up, head downtown in my pickup truck. Gas’er up at the corner station, swing by church, seek salvation. It was so long ago, it was so long ago It was so long ago, it was so long ago It’s where I sat beneath the tree playing in the shade It’s where I ate the apple pie my mama made It’s where closed my eyes at night listen’n to the rain It’s good to be back home. |

Spinnin round without my feet on the ground, never know when I'm gonna stop.
I've been up, I've been down, I've been all over town, kinda feel like I'm gonna drop.
I don't know where I'm goin, but I know where I've been, but I kinda got a place in mind.
Gonna put my head down, ain't gonna look around. Gonna get there in a little time.
Marjorie Jane, I kinda like her name. She's got everything you'd ever want.
She's hot and she's steamy, she's perfectly dreamy.
She's a girl I really like a lot.
I don't know where I'm goin, but I know where I've been, but I kinda got a place in mind.
Gonna put my head down, ain't gonna look around. Gonna get there in a little time.
Give me a smile, let's ride another mile, and I can help you if you need a hand.
I can sing you a song, I can pull you along, and we can get to where we're goin to.
And we can get to where we're goin to....alright.

Wedding Song

So you said you want to get together, spend your life with me forever,
then come on now and stand here by my side.
I’ll stand by you from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer, for poorer.
I’ll love you until the end of time.
So come on now and let’s get this party started.
Forget that we were broken-hearted.
Let’s raise a glass and toast to you and me.
So you bought your dress and got your friends together, prayed to God for some sunny weather.
Now we’re standing here, side by side, you and me.
Come on babe and take my hand.
Tell the preacher that I’ll be your man.
Say you’ll always, love me like you do.
So come on now and let’s get this party started.
It ain’t gonna be for the faint of heart, no.
Let’s raise a glass and toast to you and me.
So come on now and let’s get this party started.
It ain’t gonna be for the faint of heart, no.
Let’s raise a glass and toast to you and me.
Go ahead, fill up that solo cup
Hey, someone turn that music up
And raise a glass and toast to you and me.
Raise a glass and toast to you and me.
Let’s raise a glass and toast to you and me.

Ride with Me
©2015
Sun is risin in the sky, hoping that the fog will lift for me.
Cause there ain’t no time to worry about the clouds that are hangin over me.
The road behind stays on my mind, but the road ahead is all that I should see.
I hope that you’ll come ride with me and alleviate my constant misery.
Head out for a ride, feel the breeze.
Push it down the road, as you please.
Come on, get up on your bike and ride with me.
I’m so happy that you’re headin out to take another ride with me.
Smile on my face you can’t erase, you know there ain’t no place that I would rather be.
The road is lookin better now that you are out here ridin it with me.
I hope that you’ll stay by my side and we can ride in perfect harmony.
Head out for a ride, feel the breeze.
Push it down the road, as you please.
Come on, get up on your bike and ride with me.
Windy road is all I know, nothin straight but that’s alright by me.
Up and down these hills I go it’s another roller coaster ride for me.
A smile from you will more than do, you know it’s all that really matters, can’t you see.
I hope that you’ll stay by my side and we can ride in perfect harmony.
Head out for a ride, feel the breeze.
Push it down the road, as you please.
Come on, get up on your bike and ride with me.

Hate to Leave You
©2015
You know it’s really nice to see you.
You know it’s been a long long time.
Since I held you in my arm and I felt your lucky charm,
and we spent some time alone just you and I.
When we last said our goodbyes, where those tears in your eyes?
When I drove off in my car, you know I didn’t get too far, ‘til I was wantin to be back there in your arms.
You know I really hate to leave you.
It’s not favorite thing to do.
But in another week or two, I’ll be back here home with you.
And we will spend some time along just like we do.
Come on Janey, let’s get crazy.
Don’t say no, don’t say maybe.
Come on and kiss me for a while, you know that’ll make me smile.
And we will have a good old time just like we do.
You know I really hate to leave you.
It’s not favorite thing to do.
But in another week or two, I’ll be back here home with you.
And we will spend some time along just like we do.

You Can't Cry Forever

Look into the mirror and tell me what you see.
Is the man who stands before you the one you want to be?
Oh tell me what you see.
Are you troubled by the past, over things you did or didn’t do?
You gotta put the past behind you; see what you can do.
Mmm, see what you can do.
Cause you can’t cry forever
No you can’t run and hide.
You gotta put the past behind you.
Dig down deep inside. See what you can find.
You can take a little time to find some peace of mind.
But don’t you spend your time thinkin ‘bout what you left behind.
You gotta move on down the line.
Cause time stands still for no one and time ain’t very kind.
You gotta put your fears behind you or you can leave your dreams behind.
Or you can leave your dreams behind.
Cause you can’t cry forever
No you can’t run and hide.
You gotta put the past behind you.
Dig down deep inside. See what you can find.

Did You Know

Friday night, what’d you do?
Did you sit at home, were you feelin blue?
You didn’t go downtown? You didn’t stay out late?
You weren’t runnin round? You didn’t have a date? Nooo
Did you know that I was there?
At the bar, sittin in a chair.
I saw you dance with him.
Then I saw you go home with him.
Saturday, you knocked on my door, I wasn’t home, I went away.
So you called me up, on the telephone
You said what’s up? I said I went back home, …yeeh. I said…
Did you know that I was there?
At the bar, sittin in a chair.
I saw you dance with him.
Then I saw you go home with him.
Yesterday, I left that town
Ain’t no sense, in hangin around
Time has come, to move along
Ain’t goin back for another round, …nooo.
Did you know that I was there?
At the bar, sittin in a chair.

You came around when I wasn’t lookin.
Now I’m in your kitchen eatin your cookin.
You made me feel pretty good inside.
Come on baby now let’s go for a ride.
Here we go, again.
Don’t know what I’m gonna do.
Give me time, if you will.
Help me over that hill.
Here we go. Here we go again.
Twenty years, maybe more.
Been a long time, that’s for sure.
Pretty soon I’m gonna get it right
Come on baby, now we’re goin out tonight.
Here we go again.
Said good night, now I’m back again.
Hold me close, hold me tight.
Stay with me, through the night.
Here we go. Here we go again.
Dry the tears from your eyes.
Another drink, that’d be nice.
Tell me the story of your life.
Tell me what you think is right.
Here we go. Here we go again.
