Moonshine Song
​
​
Everybody loves Moonshine
Go and blame it on the Moonshine
Every lover needs Moonshine
Everybody needs love
We met each other on a dark night
Underneath the twinkling starlight
I remember what we said then
That we need a lover’s moon
Everybody loves Moonshine
Go and blame it on the Moonshine
Every lover needs Moonshine
Everybody needs love
Everybody loves Moonshine
Go and blame it on the Moonshine
Every lover needs Moonshine
Everybody needs love
Now I was drinking with my baby
She wasn’t acting like a lady
No shirt and lots of beads on
Like the Queen of Mardi Gras
Everybody loves Moonshine
Go and blame it on the Moonshine
Every lover needs Moonshine
Everybody needs love
Yes she always drives me crazy
But she’s my one and only baby
That’s right we’re gonna’ marry
She’s the only girl for me
Everybody loves Moonshine
Go and blame it on the Moonshine
Every lover needs Moonshine
Everybody needs love
Everybody loves Moonshine
Go and blame it on the Moonshine
Every lover needs Moonshine
Everybody needs love
I’m not sure just what she sees here
She says she loves the real me
Says that I’m her one and only
How lucky can I be
Everybody loves Moonshine
Go and blame it on the Moonshine
Every lover needs Moonshine slow it down
Everybody needs love slower and end
Take Me To The River
OK show of hands how many people here have been to the Colorado River. This song is about a few things that really happened on “my” first river vacation.
I met my kind of people
who work hard and have their fun
​And you Colorado River girls you know you’re the ones
Yes I’ve seen things, down at the river
That get me all excited, make a grown man shiver
Cowboy hats and cowboy boots, was all they had on
And a little bit of something, that might have been uh huh
Music playing loud, from their pontoon boat
They even had a stripper pole, oh my, oh my, oh no!
Dancing for the boys as they slowly rode by
Perfect tans and suntan lotion working every note
I know they saw me looking, who am I to say
I saw them wave and smile at me, it took my breath away
Boys are boys and girls are girls I’m telling you today
Take me to the river on a hot sunny day
Thank god for you ladies, you know just what you do
Drive us men crazy until we act like fools
I know that there’s a God cause I’ve seen what he can make
Take me to the river on a hot sunny day
Guitar solo
EEEEEEEE, EEEEEEEE,
AAAAAAAA, EEEEEEEE
BBBBAAAA, EEEEEEEE (whole phrase 2x)
Then it all went dark, hell I thought that I was dead
My baby took a beer bottle and broke it on my head
She said I got what it takes to keep your eyes my way
Take me to the river on a hot sunny day
Southern Wind
There’s a southern wind blowing in
And I don’t know if I can stay
You know I loved you here today
And let tomorrow come what may
Now the winds they keep a changing
They blow me from this place to that
But I’ve never been the kind of guy
There long enough to hang my hat
I’m a trucking man do what I can
To work and earn my pay
And if you want to spend the night
In the morning I’ll be on my way
There’s a southern wind blowin in
And I don’t know if I can stay
You know I loved you here today
And let tomorrow come what may
Solos 2x
You’re so good to me I know that
You will understand
That I carry you baby in my heart
And that I’ll be back when I can
There’s a southern wind blowing in
And I don’t know if I can stay
You know I loved you here today
And let tomorrow come what may
There’s a special place for you and me
And our time is here and now
Let’s not think about tomorrow
It’s gonna come anyhow
All my promises will be kept
In this little treasure chest of mine
When it’s full of gold I’ll take your hand
And we’ll leave this old border line
There’s a southern wind blowin in
And I don’t know if I can stay
You know I loved you here today
And let tomorrow come what may
There’s a southern wind blowin in
And I don’t know if I can stay
You know I loved you here today
Let tomorrow come what may
240 over 40
I don’t know if she’s going, for long
I just know I that I love her so
I think she knows how much I need her
I’ve got to know if she’s coming home
I’ve got 240 over 40,
I’ve two hundred forty miles to go miles to go
I’ve got 240 over 40
fore I rest my heart, rest my head
I can’t forget her soft perfume
I can still taste her tender lips on mine
I could look into her eyes forever
Her woman’s smile in our lovers bed
​
Such a long road that rides into the evening sun
Such a long road it is that we ride
But love it goes on forever
Stronger together side by side
​
Wide Open Spaces
I need wide open spaces
She needs stars on a moonless night We want life at slower paces
To have some peace of mind
In the quiet of the prairie
In the silence we can find
The mystery and the meaning
The answer to the why
We’ll make a new home
Cause I could never go back
To the place that I was
To the me that I was then
I got lost in the night
I was caught up in the fight
I now will have enough time
To really see the mornings light
(chorus)
I need wide open spaces
She needs stars on a moonless night G
We want life at slower paces
To have some peace of mind
Where the antelope play
Where the cool waters lay
You’re my country road
And I am just a guy
Where the buffalo roam
We will find us a home
A small town on the plains
Where everyone knows your name
We’ll have a place to grow old
Have a place all our own
With neighbors we know
And early winters snow

I Was Waiting For You
I was waiting for you,
I was waiting for you
and you, were waiting for me
My friends always told me,
what you waiting for,
and I’d say, that I’m not sure
I’m looking for a girl
that turns my head around
that holds my heart and never lets go
I was waiting for you,
I was waiting for you
and you, were waiting for me
Now I’ve had women in my life,
loves have come and gone
Why they didn’t last I think I know
I’ve always known you’re out there,
I would wait a thousand years, I’d cry a thousand tears
looking for you
I was waiting for you,
I was waiting for you,
and you, were waiting for me
Since the day I found you, I live in paradise
I have true love in my life, I have you
Will you walk with me, this path of life
Be my wife, your husband’s eyes, love you
I was waiting for you,
I was waiting for you,
and you, were waiting for me
Malt Shop Baby
You’re my malt shop baby, just as sweet as can be
You’re my malt shop baby, just as sweet as can be
You’re all a man ever wanted
and all a man could ever need
When you see her walking by, gotta love that little tease
When you see her walking by, she going to make you say please
She’s all a man ever wanted
and all a man could ever need
Early in the morning, she gets down on her knees and prays
I tell you early in the morning, she gets down on her knees,
and prays
She’s all a man ever wanted
and all a man could ever need
When my baby smiles at me, I know what that means
When my baby smiles at me, I know what that means
That she’s found herself a man that
fills all her, loving’ needs
She’s my malt shop baby, just as sweet as can be
She’s my malt shop baby, just as sweet as can be
She’s all a man ever wanted
and all a man could ever need
You’re my malt shop baby, just as sweet as can be
You’re my malt shop baby, just as sweet as can be
You’re all a man ever wanted
and all a man could ever need
Does She Remember
​​
Blowing cross the desert, off the beaten track
Not looking behind me, never looking back
Ya but I wonder does she remember my name
Ya but I wonder does she remember my name
In vain I wonder in vain
Clouds on the horizon, blowing cross the sand
It looks like rain, is coming to this land
Ya but I wonder, does she remember my name
Ya but I wonder, does she remember my name
In vain I wonder in vain
Oooooooh, but I need her (
Oooooooh, don’t want to leave her
Does she remember my name, my name, my name…………
Blowin cross the desert, yes I’m headed back
I’m running for the storm, no plan of attack
And still I wonder, will she remember my name
And still I wonder, will she remember my name
In vain am I holding on in vain…………
Blowing cross the desert, off the beaten track
Not looking behind me, never looking back
Ya but I wonder does she remember my name
Ya but I wonder does she remember my name
In vain do I wander in vain
​
Because We Love
​
Go on out and see the world, But don't you lose your way when you're flying
It seems the truth, is changing every day
But your heart will always know, when you're lying
I know your running, running from me now
running like you've got to get away
yes you told me, our romance is over
I wished you all the best as you started again
Keep your love and tenderness, don't get lost in bitterness
Save the dreams you had, when we started
Do the things you need to do, don't forget the time we knew. Don't give up on love, cause’ we've parted
​
Because we love we all feel sadness
Because we love we all feel pain
Sometimes romance it causes blindness
Sometimes the truth will find a way
Keep your love and tenderness, don't get lost in bitterness
Save the dreams you had, when we started
Do the things you need to do, don't forget the time we knew. Don't give up on love, cause’ we’ve parted
Now you say, you can't tell right from wrong
confusion's pulled the reins tight in your soul
deep inside, thinking it makes sense
that the things you do will make you whole
In the darkness, following the hurt
running from a man who looks like me
please, stop and look inside
now tell me what it is you really see
Keep your love and tenderness, don't get lost in bitterness
Save the dreams you had, when we started
Do the things you need to do, don't forget the time we knew. Don't give up on love, cause’ we’ve parted
Keep your love and tenderness, don't get lost in bitterness
Save the dreams you had, when we started
Do the things you need to do, don't forget the time we knew. Don't give up on love, cause’ we’ve parted
Because we love!
Birds Have Flown
Its winter on the shoreline and all the birds have flown away
Yes its winter on the shoreline and all the birds have flown away
Oh how I miss my baby
I thought that she was going to stay
The river is cold in winter but its warm here by the fireside
Yes the river is cold in winter but its warm here by the fireside
Won’t you stay here with me darling
From the winter’s chill babe we can hide
Ya! I know, I know, I know, that the birds come back in spring
Yes I know, I know, I know, that the birds come back in spring
But it’s a long wait through the winter
Till I’ll hear their sweet songs once again
Well the spring is coming soon and the birds will be back to stay
Yes the spring is coming soon and the birds will be back to stay
Soon followed by the summer
With all their lovely feathered sin
Song For Carol
Was it our place, in time, sweet Caroline
A place, for me and you
And the days, go by, children no longer cry
Will we, pretend, we’re young again
I meant, the vows, that we, once said
Now the kids, are grown, and we’re all alone
It’ll be, like when, we began
I see a bride’s, bouquet, and a warm, wedding day
You’re as beautiful as you looked, back then
I meant, the vows, that we, once said
With a ice, cold can, and the Marlboro Man
Let’s, ride off, into the sun
And we’ll remember when, like we were young, again
I still, love the wind, in your hair
I meant, the vows, that we, once said
This is our place, in time, sweet Caroline
Time, for me, and you
As the days go by, watching grandchildren cry
And we, pretend, we’re young again
I meant, the vows, that we, once said
