Have a Good Time © 2023 Tina Bailey & Richard Dance INTRO Come on in (x 3) Come on V1 Everybody out there looking in Can hear the music flowing like gin Get on in and give your happy a spin And have a good time V2 You might have had a tough week out there But honey there’s no need to despair The band is lit, you just can’t sit It’s time to come on in and have a good time BRIDGE 1 I used to feel I didn’t fit in (square peg) No wonder they wouldn’t let me in (round hole) Had my nose pressed against the glass But now at last V3 We’re all in this together you know So leave the bad weather outside your door We’re all sunny inside And having a good time BRIDGE 2 You might feel you gotta fit in But not in here, you’ve got your own skin No more nose pressed against the glass Let’s have a blast V4 Everybody out there looking in Can hear the music flowing like gin Get on in and give your honey a spin And have a good time Get on in and give your honey a spin And have a good time OUTRO Come on in (x 9) Bon temps rouler

Go Through – Tina Bailey and Richard Dance © 2023 Intro You've got to go through You've got to go through V1 See that darkness up ahead You can't go right, you can't go left You can't go up, you can't go around You can't stay still, you can't stay down The freeway is a parking lot, AC's broke and it's getting hot Even if it's not what you wanna do You gotta go through Re-Intro You've got to go through, hey hey V2 In your heart, out of your head Straight on green, right on red Don't just sit there at the light You've got things to do tonight It might seem hard at the end of the day But the hard way is the easy way Even if it's not what you wanna do You gotta go through Bridge See that lane changer up ahead He's got no heart, he's stuck in his head Why he zig when he should zag? Good for him but it ain't my... Bag that up and toss it out Stop your whining don't you pout Even if this world gives you the blues You gotta go through Outro You've got to go through You've got to go through

All Right Here © 2023 Tina Bailey & Richard Dance Intro Chorus It’s alright here cuz it’s all right here It’s alright here cuz it’s all right here No need to go over there cuz it’s all right here Right here, right here V1 I used to think we had to get away Get out of town to find a better day When we arrived it was not near as good As being with those we love and hangin’ in our hood Pre-chorus It was just mindless chatter, it was just endless clatter Here is what really matters Chorus 1 It’s alright here yeah it’s alright here It’s alright here cuz it’s all right here Don’t care what’s over there cuz it’s all right here Right here, right here V2 I used to think I had to be a certain way To be one of the cool kids but man it sure felt fake There’s only one of me and there’s only one of you So stand where your feet are and enjoy your view Pre-Chorus repeat Chorus 2 It’s alright here yeah it’s alright here It’s alright here cuz it’s all right here Don’t care what’s over there cuz it’s all right here Right here, right here Outro Chorus It’s alright here yeah it’s alright here It’s alright here cuz it’s all right here Don’t care what’s over there cuz we’re all right here Right here, right here It’s alright here cuz it’s all right here It’s alright here, don’t care what’s over there It’s alright here cuz it’s all right here Right here, right here, right here

Manzanita Nights – Tina Bailey and Richard Dance © 2023 V1 I go out in the desert, it doesn’t matter to me I can go out all alone, or have all my friends with me Roll down that dusty road in my beat up ride Waiting for the sun to set, Manzanita Nights! V2 There’s another thing coming, that’ll keep me from that town When we get done running, we’ll wanna settle down The colors of the sky are changing, just like the colors inside Waiting for that sun to set, Manzanita Nights! Bridge The Milky Way is a belt of diamonds, I could grab it from the sky The moon is shining bright, the campfire light, and we’re all high Manzanita Nights! Instrumental Bridge Manzanita! We’re all high! V3 Early Monday morning, no more messin’ around I could pay that money, or I could skip that town Just a few more minutes to bask in the sunrise Have to wait another day, Manzanita Nights!

Charlie – Tina Bailey and Richard Dance © 2023 V1 Yeah that boy was born, they broke the mold We all knew he was one of a kind He made his way in life not feeling whole Something missing in his mind He was sifting through the same old stories A fateful phone call turned the page…it said If I had to guess, you felt like there was one piece missing Now the fates will spin and turn V2 My name is Charlie and I live just up the way I’ve been here all these years I made my way in life not feeling whole Something keeping me in fear You and I are geminis, born the same day We’re alike in every way If I had to guess, you felt like there was one piece missing Now the fates can have their turn V3 Ain’t it funny how the pieces fall together Brother one now we are two Brother one now two Brother one now we are too Brother one now two

Gone – Tina Bailey and Richard Dance © 2023 V1 I feel trapped in the city, tangled in my pity It all just makes me want to run away Traffic makes me crazy, my mind’s getting hazy Maybe I’ll just leave to day Chorus And I just want to be in Colorado Baby it’s been far too long And when I get to Colorado I just wanna stay…gone V2 Just living in the city ain’t working for me What I need is a whole lot of fresh air Flashing aspen trees gonna do it for me I’ll find a fast ride to take me there Chorus Bridge Gone x 3 I just wanna stay x 3 Outro Chorus

Maybe I’ll Miss You – Tina Bailey and Richard Dance © 2023 V1 Maybe I’ll miss you But I don’t think so I gave it all, I got no more, no no V2 You used to kiss me But now you ditch me I gave it all, I got no more, no no Chorus I liked you better when you liked me too It’s time to like someone new It’s off the rails, it’s up in smoke It’s down the drain, it’s just plain broke V3 You wanna kiss me But I don’t think so My love was true but it’s not for you, so go go Bridge I have better things to do So why do I still think of you We were so in love you know But not anymore Chorus 2 I liked you better when you liked me too It’s time to like someone new It’s off the rails, it’s just plain broke It’s down the drain, it’s up in smoke Outro Maybe I’ll miss you

Top of the Hill 02:45

Top of the Hill – Tina Bailey & Richard Dance, © 2023 V1 Living in a world of hurt, down here with the demons below Wanna get on up to the high side, keep slidin’ down a slippery slope I never was one of the lucky ones, who was born on higher ground The blues turns to desperation, as the walls come tumblin’ down Pre-Chorus I sure had enough of the bad side, I need a piece of the good Demons turn me loose, so I can find a way out of the woods Chorus And be standing, standing on the top of the hill I swear I’ve had my fill, of the trouble below And when I’m standing, standing on the top of the hill I’ll tell the blues fair thee well, I ain’t goin’ back no more, no V2 It’s been a long time at rock bottom, I been slavin’ hard for days Tryin’ to find somewhere to run to, mind’s blowin’ like a hurricane Won’t be long I’ll be the lucky one, make it up to the higher ground The moon will shine, I’ll leave the blues behind, and you won’t see me hangin’ around Pre-Chorus Chorus

Time of Year 02:35
lyrics
Time of Year - – Tina Bailey and Richard Dance © 2023 V1 Neighbors putting up their pretty lights Children laughing having snowball fights Dad is wrapping presents while they play Mom is baking goodies to give away Chorus So much love in the air If love were money, I’d be a millionaire Sights and sounds of Christmas finally here Don’t you love this time of year? V2 Grandma bursts in with a big warm hug Grandpa gathers all the toys to lug Aunts and uncles, friends and cousins too Gather ‘round the fire to sing some Christmas tunes Chorus V3 So if you wanna deck the halls and jingle your bells Slide down the chimney (what chimney?) by the tree You can roast your chestnuts on my open fire Or go walking in a winter wonderland you see Chorus 2 Rudolph wants a white Christmas But Santa baby wants it blue Frosty rings his silver bell And I want a Holy Night with you Don’t you love this time of year?

"Mr. Crawdaddy, I dig your style. It's like Memphis, New Orleans, and Muscle Shoals all living in the same man!"....Blues legend Albert Collins
