Do you see the smoke Do you see the smoke I said where there's smoke there is fire Can you feel the heat Can you feel the heat I said where there's heat there's desire You don't need to hit in the head with a pan You already got me baby I'm your man Just give me a big old kiss You and me baby we just can't miss Cause in your kitchen somethin's burnin The flames are risin there's no returning Do you see the smoke Do you see the smoke I said where there's smoke there is fire Can you feel the heat Can you feel the heat I said where there's heat there's desire We're a four alarm fire that started with a spark Out of control lightin up the dark Keep servin up your hot stuff All night long I can't get enough Cause in your kitchen somethin's burnin The flames are risin there's no returning Do you see the smoke Do you see the smoke I said where there's smoke there is fire Can you feel the heat Can you feel the heat I said where there's heat there's desire Well you don't need to hit in the head with a pan You already got me baby I'm your man Just give me a big sloppy kiss You and me baby we just can't miss Cause in your kitchen it's all burnin The flames are risin there's no returning Do you see the smoke Do you see the smoke I said where there's smoke there is fire Can you feel the heat I can you feel the heat I said where there's heat there's desire I said where there's heat there's desire I said where there's smoke there is fire

James Dean and Marilyn Monroe 05:08
lyrics

I seem to remember when blue skies were blue I seem to remember when the world was just me and you Singing open roads ahead Our past is dead You whispered to me secrets from your soul And I listened to them they kept my heart from growin cold Singing open roads ahead Our past is dead I was your James Dean You were my Marilyn Monroe Partners in crime it seemed Never feared the unknown Night after night we starred in our own play We held each other tight knew the lines to say Singing open roads ahead Our past is dead I was your James Dean You were my Marilyn Monroe Partner's in crime it seemed Never feared the unknown We promised no regrets As we took flight The wind was at our backs As we flirted with daylight I was your James Dean You were my Marilyn Monroe Partners in crime it seemed Never feared the unknown Partners in crime it seemed Never feared the unknown I am your James You are my Marilyn Monroe

Laso The Moon 04:16

Under the moonlight Your smile looks so bright Under the moonlight You’re such a beautiful site There’s so many stars tonight But you shine the brightest of all No time in a bottle I see it every day in your eyes So just say the words and I’ll lasso the moon Wrap it up like a gift delivered with a kiss So real soon I’ll lasso the moon It’s like trying to decide Between the Beauty of sunrise and set Forever and ever I’m your Romeo my Juliet So just say the words and I’ll lasso the moon Wrap it up like a gift delivered with a kiss So real soon I’ll lasso the moon When we touch it’s like gravities rush A beauty I’ve never known A love I’ve never been shown So just say the words and I’ll lasso the moon Wrap it up like a gift delivered with a kiss So real soon I’ll lasso the moon So just say the words and I’ll lasso the moon Wrap it up like a gift delivered with a kiss So real soon I’ll lasso the moon

Don't Cry Baby Don't Cry 04:36
lyrics

They say it’s for your own good, Then they treat you like nobody should. They say it hurts them more than you, Then they leave you black and blue. They take you by surprise, Then turn around and apologize. They say it’s you they’re thinkin’ of That they did it in the name of love. Don’t cry baby, don’t cry. Nobody can see, you’re living a tragedy You’re just a little kid Don’t even know what you did, So don’t cry baby, don’t cry. They do it cause it’s all they know Over and over, blow by blow. They’ll find out when it’s too late All you learned was how to hate. Don’t cry baby, don’t cry. Nobody can see, you’re living a tragedy You’re just a little kid Don’t even know what you did, So don’t cry baby, don’t cry. It’s so hard to break the chain. Chances are they probably won’t. Cause it’s easier to deliver pain No more…NO! Don’t cry baby, don’t cry. Nobody can see, you’re living a tragedy You’re just a little kid Don’t even know what you did, So don’t cry baby, don’t cry. Don’t cry baby, don’t cry. Nobody can see, you’re living a tragedy You’re just a little kid Don’t even know what you did, So don’t cry baby, don’t cry.

Just How I'm Made 03:06
lyrics

Everyone knows I walk the lines Ask me my opinion I'll tell you what's on my mind Don't take the path of least resistance That's just how I'm made Always find myself swimmin upstream But I've found that's the best way to chase a dream My faith has never faded Don't let life leave me jaded That's just how I'm made I was handcrafted In the heart of the Great Lakes All Dusty and dirty Don't blame others for my mistakes That's just how I'm made Sometimes I can't resist tiltin at windmills Tryin to help out with so of the worlds ills I'm no hero But if I don't try it won't be any nearer That's just how I'm made I was handcrafted In the heart of the Great Lakes All Dusty and dirty Don't blame others for my mistakes That's just how I'm made Where a strong work ethic Ain't no dirty word And I won't apologize To this crazy world That's just how I'm made I was handcrafted In the heart of the Great Lakes All Dusty and dirty Don't Bblame others for my mistakes That's just how I'm made I was handcrafted In the heart of the Great Lakes All Dusty and dirty Don't blame others for my mistakes That's just how I'm made

Byways 04:30
lyrics

As the rain falls on the windshield Drivin down life's road There's a storm in the forecast As we head into the unknown As the drops turn into a downpour And everything's a blur It doesn't really matter With you by my side I'm secure Sometimes the wind blows And it feels like more than we can take But travelin down these byways We've learned to slow down before we break The clouds are hangin so low They're grey and dark ahead But we've been down this road before And neither one of us have fled Sometimes the wind blows And it feels like more than we can take But travelin down these byways We've learned to slow down before we break As the rain begins to falter And the clouds begin to crack Whether or not we know the weather Are love remains intact Sometimes the wind blows And it feels like more than we can take But travelin down these byways We've learned to slow down before we break We've had some bumps along the way But neither one of us have strayed Rambling down these roadways We know they're rarely straight Sometimes the wind blows And it feels like more than we can take But travelin down these byways We've learned to slow down before we break Sometimes the wind blows And it feels like more than we can take But travelin down these byways We've learned to slow down before we break

It's Over 04:16

Then you discover What she hid from your eyes She’s not coming back And it was all lies You try and start over Can’t make any sense You stare at her picture It’s way too intense Cause it’s over yes it’s over. Like a train rolling down the tracks Cause it’s over yes it’s over And she’s not coming back Cause it’s over You see her face In your dreams But you’re wide awake Coming apart at the seams Cause it’s over yes it’s over Like a train rolling down the tracks Cause it’s over yes it’s over And she’s not coming back Cause it’s over yes it’s over Like a train rolling down the tracks Cause it’s over yes it’s over she ain't never never never coming back Cause it’s over

Dreams 04:31

When dreams whisper into your ear Don’t push em away just draw them near They love to flirt it’s all part of the game Just like hidden treasure no two are the same It won’t be easy they’re always one step ahead As they float around inside your head Time goes by don’t wanna chase em no more But don’t give up you’ll miss what’s in store So just fall just fall into a deep embrace And dance the dance Now that you’re face to face Just fall just fall If the mountain was smooth you couldn’t climb it all Don’t have to get to the top to hear dreams call It’s a love affair for all time So just fall just fall into a deep embrace And dance the dance Now that you’re face to face Just fall just fall It’s a leap of faith Just close your eyes And fall just fall into a deep embrace And dance the dance Now that you’re face to face Just fall

I was warned And Kind of torn My friends told me your story But I ignored And I saw what I wanted to see I closed my eyes Because I wanted us to be And thousand times you broke my heart But you couldn’t leave it alone So you tried even harder To turn it into stone But you won’t see me shed a tear my dear No you won’t see me shed a tear Cause I cry alone You stole my life All for spite I was a shadow of myself For your delight And thousand times you broke my heart But you couldn’t leave it alone So you tried even harder To turn it into stone But you won’t see me shed a tear my dear No you won’t see me shed a tear Cause I cry alone I tried to break free But you had this spell over me You pulled me right back in You start all over again And thousand times you broke my heart But you wouldn't leave it alone So you tried even harder To turn it into stone But you won’t see me shed a tear my dear No you won’t see me shed a tear Cause I cry alone You won’t see me shed a tear my dear No you won’t see me shed a tear Cause I cry alone

Page One 03:50

Sometimes I wish I could just start over I don’t know where it all went wrong But now I’m lost and not sure where I’m going Can’t seem to find out where I belong Tryin’ to remember when I didn’t have a care Before my body and soul were broken A magical place in time When my heart was willing and the book was open I’m looking back through the pages of my life To when I had only just begun Before the story took a turn for the worse All the way back to page one And I’m being pulled in so many directions But none of them lead to what I need to find If I could relive that very first chapter When my world was safe and I had peace of mind I’m looking back through the pages of my life To when the hero always won Before the story took a turn for the worse All the way back to page one Help me remember the good times When I could still see the light Let me return to those yesterdays When I still had the will to fight I’m looking back through the pages of my life To when the hero always won Before the story took a turn for the worse All the way back to page I’m looking back through the pages of my life To when I had only just begun Before the story took a turn for the worse All the way back to page one

Bo Jo is a blues man Makin’ that livin’ only way he can He came from New York a long time ago Livin’ the blues is all he knows A few years back he played the local spots Now his guitar is all he’s got Bo Jo knows about payin’ dues You can hear it in his blues Playin’ to eat, andnot for fame He might be down, but not out of the game Livin’ his life from day to day Now his guitar still has somethin’ to say VERSE 3: G Bo Jo’s blues speak the truth Tellin’ the story of his lost youth C Playin’ on the road is where he’s at G Watchin’ people drop money in his hat D He sleeps in the mountains at night G Singin’ for the angels ‘bove the city lights G Bo Jo’s blues…

Lie about something long enough And all it’s gonna bring is pain Cry about something long enough And all it’s gonna bring is rain With the first flash of lightning We’re headed for a fight Then the thunder it crashes It keeps us up all night We can make it through this rainy weather Our love will keep us safe and warm If we can just hold on and stay together We can make it through the storm Deny your love too many times And all your gonna get is old Say goodbye to love too many times You’ll get left out in the cold A winter wind is blowing We can feel it deep in our hearts The storm inside is raging Like it might tear us apart We can make it through this rainy weather Our love will keep us safe and warm If we can just hold on and stay together We can make it through the storm Until the sun comes out again And all the clouds are gone Don’t give up on you and me Baby please hold on We can make it through this rainy weather Our love will keep us safe and warm If we can just hold on and stay together We can make it We can make it through this rainy weather Our love will keep us safe and warm If we can just hold on and stay together We can make it through the storm
